Fall manure application: Plans, resources & strategies for Minnesota farmers

On this episode of the Nutrient Management Podcast, we talk all about fall manure application. What should be on a farmer's to-do list to prepare for fall application? What names need to be on an operation's emergency response plan, and what kind of PPE should farmers keep nearby? How much lead time does a lab need to return sample results? If a farmer plans to work with a commercial applicator, what can they do ahead of time to ensure a successful season? All of this, plus a farmer Q&A, on-farm research advice, an update on ManureDB and more on today's show.
