Manure application technology on display
How technology can help address water quality and nutrient management concerns will be the focus of field day on Thursday, July 31, near Maria Stein, Ohio.
Terry Mescher, Ag Engineer with the Division of Soil and Water at the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) says some of the manure application technology being featured has the potential of providing livestock farmers with options.
“Historically we’ve gotten to a point where we apply most of our manure in the fall after crops have been harvested,” Mescher said. “What we are trying to do with this field day is to display some technology where we are applying manure to an existing or a growing crop, as opposed to waiting until after the crops been harvested.”
The Western Ohio Manure Application Technology Field Day will be held Thursday, July 31, at Homan Inc., 6915 Olding Road at Maria Stein beginning at 9:30 a.m.
Mescher says field demos will be held beginning at 1 p.m. and then again during an evening session beginning at 6 p.m.
