Why Test Your Manure?
Manure is a valuable nutrient source, but nutrient content can vary. Testing gives you a better understanding of exactly what you are applying so you can make more informed decisions before spreading.
Manure sampling can help you:
- Maximize nutrient application value and efficiency
- Know exactly what nutrients you’re applying instead of guessing
- Determine the appropriate application rate before spreading
- Avoid unnecessary nutrient applications and capture the full value of your manure
- Support 45Z practices that may unlock future benefits
Taking samples early gives you time to receive results and use that information to make application decisions before manure hits the field.
