Manure Use Divides Illinois Farmers Amid Costs and EPA Rules
Farmers in Southern Illinois largely avoid more manure on cropland due to lack of supply from non confining grain farms and labor needs in spread and storage. EPA runoff rules add cost and complexity, while some see higher nutrient value in commercial fertilizer. Manure remains favored on small diversified farms and home garden plots where it helps with root crops and water retention.
