Question:
How do you use the cow manure produced on your farm?
Answer:
We recycle the cow manure and use it as fertilizer for crops.
Manure ( nutrient) is also useful in water conservation because it increases the water-holding capacity of soil by 20 percent, resulting in reduced ground water needed to grow crops.
We are permitted by the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality to store manure for use on our farm.
We follow a nutrient management plan specially designed for our farm that guides the amount,source, placement and timing of manure on fields.
