Manure Storage Selection, John Harrison, Dallen Smith
Manure Storage Selection, John Harrison, Dallen Smith
All Current Publications
The objective of this fact sheet is to help producers understand the factors that might influence the selection of a particular type of manure storage facility. Manure storage facilities covered include solid systems, slurry systems, and liquid (lagoon systems).
Nutrient Concentrations In Manure Storage Facilities, John Harrison, Dallen Smith
Nutrient Concentrations In Manure Storage Facilities, John Harrison, Dallen Smith
All Current Publications
The objective of this fact sheet is to help producers understand the nutrient loss and retention characteristics of different types of manure storage. The concentration of nutrients in manure storage facilities is important for planning land application activities. Nutrient concentration is usually the critical factor in determining the amount of manure to be spread per acre of land. Manure systems similar in type and management may have characteristically similar concentrations of manure nutrients.
Manure Storage, Process Improvement For Animal Feeding Operations, John Harrison, Dallen Smith
Manure Storage, Process Improvement For Animal Feeding Operations, John Harrison, Dallen Smith
All Current Publications
The objective of this fact sheet is to help producers understand the need for manure storage facilities.
Safety In Manure Storage Facilities, John Harrison, Dallen Smith
Safety In Manure Storage Facilities, John Harrison, Dallen Smith
All Current Publications
As livestock operations become larger and numbers of employees more numerous, safety becomes a critical issue in manure storage.
Types Of Manure Storage, John Harrison, Dallen Smith
Types Of Manure Storage, John Harrison, Dallen Smith
All Current Publications
The objective of this fact sheet is to help producers understand the characteristics of different types of manure storage facilities. Factors that might influence the selection of a particular type of manure storage facility are discussed. Manure storage facilities discussed include solid systems, slurry systems, and liquid (lagoon systems).
Animal Manure Removal Methods For Manure Storage Facilities, John Harrison, Dallen Smith
Animal Manure Removal Methods For Manure Storage Facilities, John Harrison, Dallen Smith
All Current Publications
A well-designed manure storage facility must also be well managed to prevent environmental concerns from developing. Probably the single most important requirement in operating and maintaining a manure storage facility is to ensure that the facility does not overflow or discharge.
Lagoon Monitoring And Condition Parameters, John Harrison, Dallen Smith
Lagoon Monitoring And Condition Parameters, John Harrison, Dallen Smith
All Current Publications
Lagoons combine storage and treatment functions and thus are more sensitive to management inputs than are solid or slurry facilities. The establishment and maintenance of desirable microbiological populations in lagoons requires more specific procedures in the way lagoons are loaded and monitored.

Ec04-704 Precision Agriculture: Listening To The Story Told By Yield Maps, Viacheslav I. Adamchuk, Achim Dobermann, Jianli Ping
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
When discussing current issues in precision agriculture, the terms “yield mapping” or “yield monitoring” often are used to refer to one of the most crucial components of the entire system for site-specific crop management. In fact, yield monitoring equipment was introduced in the early 1990s and is increasingly considered a conventional practice in modern agriculture. The pioneers of precision agriculture already have generated several years of yield history and have examined different ways of interpreting and processing these data. The goal of this publication is to review several common methods of yield data analysis and to discuss potential applications for …
