Manure may not be as stable or spreadable as commercial fertilizer, but it is right on the price, a Texas AgriLife Extension Service specialist said.
“When we apply manure, it comes out in chunks and we don’t know the exact analysis,” said Dr. Sam Feagley, AgriLife Extension soil environmental specialist. “But now economics are overriding convenience, and producers even farther from feedyards are considering the benefits of applying manure.”
Feagley spoke at a recent feedyard manure educational meeting in Hereford. Attendees included farmers, crop consultants, feedyard managers and custom manure haulers.
