It's early / mid October in Minnesota, which means it's time for the fall manure outlook on the Nutrient Management Podcast. Minnesota's manure application rate guidelines have been updated for corn-corn and corn-soybean rotations. What are some of the results of theses changes? What was the reason to update the guidelines? What weather conditions might we experience with the predicted 2026 Super El-Nino. Knowing theses, are there changes that farmers should make to their best fall practices? ManureDB (the online manure nutrient database) recently had a large data set added to it. What does the new data look like for the end user? Are micronutrients included in manureDB's data? In the world on-farm research, what’s currently happening and how can farmers get involved? Important upcoming events for manure technicians, and farmer questions round out today's episode of the Nutrient Management Podcast.
