Raymond Massey, John Lory, Amy Schmidt, Marcia Shannon and, Ann Ulmer (June, 2006)

Summary

This guide helps producers with an existing slurry swine finishing operation or those considering building such an operation to evaluate the land needs, fertilizer value and manure application costs. This guide focuses on covered slurry manure systems where the manure is injected into fields for corn and soybean production or where the manure is surface applied to fescue pastures.
