All poultry manure is collected from within the high rise layer house and exported from the operation. The dairy freestall operation consists of a herd of 100 Holstein cows. There are no replacement animals ion this operation; they are purchased as needed. Calves are all sold at 3 days of age. A 62' diameter, 14-feet deep, liquid manure storage facility provides 296,000 gallons of usable capacity adequate for 6 months of storage of the liquid dairy manure, washwater, and direct rainfall. The entire operation is 163 acres, with 154 of those acres routinely receiving manure application. The balance of the farm acreage is devoted to a sacrifice lot (1 acre), farmstead, and production facilities (8 acres). The operator has the dairy animals confined 85% of the day during the winter period and 70% of the day during summer months. When the animals are out of the barn, the operator estimates that they are on the sacrifice lot 40% of the time. The crop rotation for this operation is one year corn silage, followed by three years corn grain, followed by four years alfalfa hay.
