Indicating her son Mark feeding a calf nearby, Judy lager smiles. “It always feels good to raise a calf up and have it do well.” Fami ly and farming are synonymous at Maple Lawn Farm. Best of all, the new 4800 Round Balers are easy to use. Select the best size for your operation: 700,900, or 2000 pounds. Then ask to see one at your White-New Idea dealer or call 1 800 767-3221. \mk\ Newldca ■YHOOWMTf-NIWIOU Manure Handling (Continued from Page A3O) For immediate field application the manure may be loaded directly into a manure spreader from a gutter cleaner discharge or push off lip, or loaded with a front end loader. More liquid manure may be pumped from a collection channel, sump, or small tank that holds a day or two manure accumulation. If manure is to be pumped into a liquid spreader, wastewater from the milking center is usually included to make agitation and pumping easier. Manure can be conveyed to a storage located at the barn by the gutter clean er, tractor scraper, large piston pump, centri fugal pump, gravity flow pipe or gravity flow channel. Manure can be transported to satel lite storages located away from the barn by trucks. large spreaders or pipelines. Manure storage systems may be located at the bam or near the cropland that will receive the* manure. If manure must be transported long dis tances. it is often more effective to provide satellite storages near the cropland. This allows the manure to be hauled to the storage during low labor periods and makes for more efficient spreading. Liquid manure, especial ly if solids have been removed, can be pumped long distances to satellite storages. The storage must be compatible with the form of manure is removed from the bam. Heavily bedded manure can be easily stacked in three sided bunker type storages or on simple hard surfaced or packed gravel pads. Storages should be designed to prevent clean water from running into them and to direct any leachate or runoff water from the storage away from streams to vegetative filter areas or holding ponds. Liquid manure can be stored in properly designed concrete or steel tanks, concrete or membrane lined in ground storages and in some cases earth storages. It is critical that storages be located and constructed to assure that manure will not seep through storage walls or bottom to ground or surface water. Consult the USDA Soil Conservation Ser vice or a qualified soils engineer regarding location and design of in ground manure stor- IH4-A35
