The Value and Power of Manure Projects: Improving manure management in NY
While manure is a known driver of soil health and fertility, its specific nitrogen (N) fertilizer replacement value and ability to boost yield can be complex to quantify. The Value and Power of Manure project (2022-current) uses on-farm trials to measure the impact of different manure sources, application timings, and application methods on corn silage and grain yield. These findings help farmers optimize fertilizer offsets, improve farm economics, and enhance sustainability. To learn about our 2025 findings, read here.
