CUSTAR, Ohio–The goal when it comes to spreading manure on a farm field is to provide nutrients for crops while preventing nutrient runoff to streams. This year’s Manure Science Review will include both a look at applying new technology to vary the rate of manure application and a talk about old technology—sandbags—to keep nutrients from washing away.
These topics and more will be discussed July 26 during a daylong event focused on educating farmers and producers about the latest in manure science. Held by The Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (CFAES), Manure Science Review runs from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Ohio State’s Northwest Agricultural Research Station, 4240 Range Line Road, Custar.
