Mahaska County livestock manure/crop nutrient management demonstration project

Project ID: 1995-05

Abstract

The project was developed from the requests of Mahaska County producers for information related to management of their livestock systems. Through surveys, sampling, and demonstrations, it was learned that there is a continuing need for individualized consulting linking manure and nutrient management. Producers also want more guidance about residue management and consistency of manure nutrient content.
