**Manure’s Value Is Spread Over Time**
Manure is a valuable resource that can be used to improve soil fertility and crop yields. However, it is important to manage manure properly in order to maximize its benefits.
**Nutrient Availability**
The nutrients in manure are released over time. In the first year, 30 to 40 percent of the nitrogen (N) is available along with almost all of the phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). The second year, 10 percent of the N from the first year’s is available and P and K not used in year one will still be useable. Year three has 5 percent N and any remaining P and K available for use.
**Maximizing Manure Benefits**
To maximize the benefits of manure, it is important to:
* **Test manure before application.** This will help you determine the nutrient content of the manure and make sure that it is appropriate for your soil and crops.
* **Calibrate application equipment.** This will ensure that you are applying the manure at the correct rate.
* **Incorporate manure to retain nutrients.** This can be done by tilling or injecting the manure into the soil.
* **Test soils and apply manure only where needed.** This will help you avoid over-applying manure and wasting nutrients.
**How Feed Mixers and Manure Spreaders Can Help**
Feed mixers and manure spreaders are essential tools for managing manure. Feed mixers can be used to mix manure with other materials, such as bedding or crop residues, to create a more uniform product. Manure spreaders can be used to apply manure to fields in a controlled manner.
