If the farmer who generates the manure applies the manure to someone elses cropland or hires a commercial applicator to apply manure on another persons cropland, what must be included in the farmers CNMP?
It is the responsibility of the manure generator/applicator to ensure that as much of the manure nutrient resource is available for utilization as possible. For farmers that spread their manure on someone elses ground, or who hire a commercial applicator to apply manure on another persons cropland, the following must be included in the CNMP. • Determination of application at agronomic rate. • Setbacks and no-spreading zones. Sensitive areas as listed in the CNMP outline must be identified on field maps where manure is applied. Sensitive areas include streams and drains along or in fields, tile inlets, wetlands, and swales or gullies. • Risk of runoff from fields due to winter manure application. • Conformance with Generally Accepted Agricultural Management Practices for Manure Management and Utilization. The information must be documented in the generator/applicators CNMP prior to manure application on a field.
