New regulations bring new challenges for livestock producers. Many facility
managers have little time to focus on the regulation side of managing an
animal feeding operation in
In the past feeding facilities have considered their manure as a waste
product or just some costly waste we have to get rid of. It wasn’t until the
past few years producers began seeing these waste products as all natural
fertilizer products. We all knew that manure was a good fertilizer source we
just didn’t have the confidence in the nutrient value and the costs to
transport and apply the manure was greater than the nutrients it would
provide.
With a proper nutrient management
plan, agronomic expertise
and the professional application
of waste products Natural Fertilizer Services manages the amount, the
amount, source, placement, form and timing of the applications. The
nutrients and soil amendments meet the nutrient needs of the crop to be
grown, while minimizing nutrient losses from runoff or leaching.
Considerations for a Sound Nutrient Management Plan:
Use proper soil and
manure sampling, assess the
contributions made by leguminous crops (soybeans
and
alfalfa)
Discuss and assess past
management practices to help in
future nutrient planning
Determine the preferred
application technique and time of
any nutrient bearing materials
Set realistic yield
goals to supply the correct about of
nutrients for plant growth.
