Manure disposal was a ma jor problem 'for the Augsbur gers until they constructed a lagoon. Now the manure is li quefied by adding water and the liquid is spread on the fields. Most of the manure is plowed down, but small grain is top dressed when the ground is frozen. Labor is one of the major costs of production in agricul ture, and the Augsburgers have cut this item to a minimum. The program may not work for everyone, but it does for this father-son team.
