Some farms have limited acres to apply manure and feel forced to apply at maximum regulatory rates to get the pits emptied. Practices we have seen work well include: Keeping slurry application rates to 3000-4000 gal/acre/application.

Introduction to crop irrigation systems Irrigation systems are an important part of growing crops, and they can be crucial when it comes to crop yields. Once everything has been laid out properly, it shouldn't take more than half an hour per acre foot (.5 5 acre) of water spread across several acres worth of crops!

We can’t go out there and not get the yields. One of the latest practices being tried in Lafayette County and other parts of the state is “planting green,” or planting corn or soybeans directly into a growing cover crop (often a small grain like rye or wheat) without killing it by herbicide or mechanical means first.
