Making Manure An Asset

Hundreds of thousands of gallons of manure sitting under a barn isn't a waste problem — it's an opportunity. In this video, we walk through a real grower trial: separating more than 10,000 gallons of manure and testing it against a traditional 10-34-0 starter program, in-furrow and through a Y-drop system. We cover: Why timing manure application to the crop's actual demand beats a one-time drag-line or honey wagon application The in-furrow trial: manure alone vs. 10-34-0, and combining both The result: almost $50/acre in positive return The Y-drop application: 20-40 gallons per acre, timed to the V8/V9 rapid growth stage Timestamps: 0:00 – Why livestock manure gets me excited on the agronomy side 0:26 – Rethinking manure: from one-time drag line/honey wagon to a season-long asset 0:45 – Helping producers across a wide geography maximize manure value 0:57 – This grower's goal: turning manure into an asset 1:08 – Bringing in the mobile separation unit — 10,000+ gallons separated 1:31 – Trial 1: manure vs. traditional 10-34-0 starter, in-furrow 1:48 – The result: up to 6 gal/acre, almost $50/acre return 2:07 – Trial 2: separated manure through a Y-drop system 2:17 – Applying at the V8/V9 rapid growth stage 2:33 – Y-drop rates: 20-40 gallons per acre DM us or visit nutradrip.com/manure-separation to learn more.
