Congolaise Supreme was fast
year’s Farm Show champion and
earned the grand championship at
Keystone as well.

considering retiring the stallion
from the showring, noting, “He’s
going to be our herd sire.” The
Orndorff’s have 36 registered
Belgians on their farm.
The judge turned to an entry
owned by Larry Orndorff of Adams
County for his champion mare.
The three-year-old mare, a
homebred entry, is due to foal in
March. Cheyanne’s Kay

Plan manure storage systems
now for spring installation
LEESPORT This is a critical
time for farmers now that the
ground is frozen and partially snow
covered, says Roy Shryock of the
Soil Conservation Service. Animal
waste cannot be properly disposed
of in this type of situation. Runoff
from these conditions can cause
pollution of our streams and water
supplies.
Proper planning and installation
of various systems can help
alleviate this problem. Solutions to
reduce pollution include ear
thsided structures, holding tanks
of concrete or steel and lagoons for
milkhouse waste and barnyard
runoff.
Six months to a year of storage is
encouraged. This allows a farmer
to properly incorporate animal
waste into his cropping system.

Manure should be incorporated
into the soil as soon as possible
after spreading by plowing,
chiseling or disking into the soil.
Without incorporating manure into
the soil many nutrients are lost
into the air.
Manure testing and soil testing
programs are essential to, a sound
management program of
nutrients. This insures a proper
balance of nitrogen, phosphorus
and potash for proper fertilization
of crops to be grown.
Now is the time to plan your
system, have proper designs, and
management plans to be ready to
install this spring and summer.
For further information and
planning contact your local Soil
Conservation Service.
