Manure Planning
Properly managed, manure has been proven to equal or out-perform commercial fertilizers in the field. Benefits from even one application of manure are available to crops for years to come due to its soil building characteristics.
Unfortunately manure nutrient levels are often disproportionate to the nutrient requirements of most crops. Applying enough of one nutrient to satisfy crop requirements often results in the under or over application of others. This leads to improper crop nutrition, and can also cause possible environmental effects.
Understanding the nutrient levels of manure and the nutrient levels in the soil is crucial to optimize the value and minimize the environmental impact of manure application. Farmers Edge has certified Manure Management Planners that can maximize the efficiency of manure including soil testing, manure analysis, and full farm fertility recommendations to get the most out of this valuable resource.

“Not only did this intensive soil testing pay off on the ryegrass but, it made sure we fertilized our following canola crop adequately. That put at least 10 more bushels on those fields.”
