Hie board also discussed some of the aspects of “animal equiva lent units," or AEUs, as detailed in the Nutrient Management Act, and how to determine whether or not a specific farming operation has enough land to handle the nutrients created by the operation. Discussed was how to deter mine whether or not an operator had control of land, if it is leased or owned; what types of evidence an operator would have to show that he has control of that land; what types of land would be suitable for the application of manure; whether or not some historically existing pasture (used as pasture because too low-lying and subject to flood ing to support tillage) should be considered applicable for the application of manure; types of MAHONING OUTDOOR FURNACES “The Natural Way To Heat Your Home” crops; alternative uses of manure; whether historic uses of land should be considered and whether a grandfather date should be used. According to David Oromelsld. assistant counsel with DER’s Bureau of Regulatory Counsel, die issue of being able to determine AEUs and AEUsper acre, and land suitable for receiving nutrients, will probably be the most impor tant and key area of concern with die entire Act. It was generally agreed that ani mal equivalent units are not, the best method for determining whether or not an operation is in danger of overapplying or over producing nutrients for application to the land available. However, AEUs are part of the law and must be dealt with. In related business, the board also heard a report from Dr. Char les Ramberg on the variations of animal nutrition and nitrogen in manure.
