Can dairy manure, liquid or otherwise, that is not composted be applied to an organic field without that field losing its organic accreditation?
A. It is okay to use manure from another farm even if it isn’t certified, providing that: 1) you have indicated on you yearly organic Farm Plan application that you plan to do so, and have it approved by the certification committee. OR 2) you have contacted your certifier and asked for permission to amend your Farm Plan to apply the manure.
