Researchers at the University
of Delaware agree. They found
the amount of fertilizer needed
on the sandy soils of their state,
and increases nutrient availabil
ity to plants
Equipment manufacturers are
giving some of the answers to
help farmers satisfy complaints
ot their rural non-farm neigh
bor. Engineers at New Hol
land, the farm equipment divi
sion of Sperry Rand Corporation,
have developed a spreader
equipped with special rubber
seals on the bottom and sides of
the endgate to keep manure in
the spreader when traveling to
and between fields. The design
not only keeps.roads and high
ways clean; it saves the farmer
money by eliminating loss of
manure.
At the University of Wiscon
sin, a three-man team of ag en
gineers studied the cost ad van
tages and disadvantages of three
different methods of handling
manure from stall barns and
free stall housing.
In Kentucky, livestock grown
i. the state produce a mountain
of manure about 16 million
tons Based on its nitrogen,
phosphorus and potassium con
tent, University of Kentucky re
seal chers estimate its potential
value at moie than $l7 milion
Half 01 more of this accumu
lates in barns, feedlots and loaf
ing areas, the researchers say.
If manure can’t be spread fre
quently, tight-walled manure
pits, or deep, well-packed piles
with straight sides should be
used.
Where spieading is done in
frequently, they recommend
plowing or disking the manure
into the soil immediately after it
is spread. This will also help
cut nutrient losses sharply, re
searchers point out.
Stanley Witzel, University of
Wisconsin agricultural engineer,
says the growing need for mod
ern structures and methods for
animal manure storage could
further raise dairymen’s already
rich cost of operation He thinks
this is an unfair burden to place
entirely on the shoulders of the
farmer, and advocates govern
ment cost sharing and a unified
approach to the pollution pro
blem by industry, government,
urban groups and agriculture.
Witzel proposes that govern
ment help farmers with the waste
storage problem in much the
same way it shares the cost of
dams, terraces, ditches, special
cropping methods and other soil
and water conservation struc
tures and practices.
In short, manure is still a valu
able by-product of livestock pro
duction and the important ques
tion is not how to get rid of the
waste, but how best to use it.
