However, the topsoil is powerless to counteract the acidifying effect of ammonia-based fertilizers. While these Midwest conditions may sound ideal for farming, years of tilling and heavy fertilizer use have taken their toll.

With the current high cost of synthetic fertilizers, and even supply chain disruptions, managing the manure resource properly becomes a critical farm task. The soil becomes bacteria dominated with bacterial counts far exceeding those of conventional row crop fields. Manure is the primary fertility source in organic farming systems.
