Narrative of Operation
Beef Manure Nutrient Management Plans
For
Claude Shew Jr.
This narrative of operation addresses a beef operation on T971 which has been operating since
the mid 90's, referred to as the River Farm or Jay's Place. This facility has been registered with
.0200. In the years past the operation has been a cow/calf operation primarily, however stockers
were grown occasionally (<100 head). This plan is based on plant available nitrogen.
T971: '
The facility on Tract 971 was originally designed for 125 head of stocker calves at 100%
confinement and consisted of a graveled, covered feeding area and a dry stack. The feeding area
is now 50% paved and the animal numbers will be increased to 250 head. This increase in
numbers will reduced the dry stack holding capacity from 180 days storage to 90 days storage.
250 head (x 3.1 tons/head/yr) will generate 775 tons of manure a year. Claude will spread this
over pasture in January and July, over small grain silage in October, and over corn silage in
April.
All the fields contained in this tract will be required for manure disposal. There are 28.7 usable
acres of pasture and 47.8 acres of cropland. All of these acres have low or medium PLAT ratings
allowing for this plan to be based on plant available nitrogen. In spite of these ratings the soil test
shows very high phosphorus indexes. Once again, by only using beef manure and commercial
fertilizer these phosphorus indexes will be reduced over time. These fields have fairly reasonable
copper levels.
General Information:
It is required that good soil sampling procedures be used annually in all fields receiving any
animal waste to monitor nutrient levels and metals buildup. In addition, a waste analysis is
required within 60 days of any land application of waste.
Record keeping is an essential part of your waste management plan. In order to satisfy the
Division of Environmental Management's farm inspection procedures, the following items need
to be available on site:
1. Certified Waste Management Plan
2. Waste management records
3. Farm field maps
4. A current waste analysis

Supporting records include:
1. Daily weather events during the application period
2. Annual soil tests
3. Calibration documents
Mortality management can be burial or hauling and rendering at a licensed rendering plant. If
burial is used the carcass must be buried three feet beneath ground surface within 24 hours of
knowledge of death and must be at least 300 feet from any stream or public body of water.
Equipment used for spreading waste should be calibrated on a regular basis to ensure proper
application rates and uniformity. Field calibration is required once every other year for state
permitted operations. Solid spreaders should be field calibrated using the Weight -Area Method
described in NCCES publication AG-553-4.
Please review the Required Specifications for Animal Waste Management and the NC Practice
Job Sheet: NC-590-633. These documents contain important information on waste application,
record keeping requirements, operation and maintenance of your waste utilization plan, and
additional information on phosphorus risk assessment.

The table shown below provides a summary of the crops of rotations included in this plan for each Geld. Realistic Yield estimates are
also provided for each crop, as well as the crop's P205 Removal Rate. The Leaching Index (LI) and the Phosphorous Loss Assessment
Tool (PLAT) Rating are also provided for each field, where available.
If a field's PLAT Rating is High, any planned manure application is limited to the phosphorous removal rate of the harvested plant
biomass for the crop rotation or multiple years in the crop sequence. Fields with a Very High PLAT Rating should receive no
additional applications of manure. Regardless of the PLAT rating, starter fertilizers may be recommended in accordance with North
Carolina State University guidelines or recommendations. The quantity of P205 applied to each crop is shown in the following table if
the field's PLAT rating is High or Very High.

The Waste Utilization table sho%vn below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. 'rhis plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of cropland needed to.use
the nutrients being produced. 'rhe plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grottgt, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applications to
maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure of other by-products,
commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to supply the indicated quantity
of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides
for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

The Nutrient Management Recommendations table shown below provides an annual summary of the nutrient management plan
developed for this operation. This table provides a nutrient balance for the listed fields and crops for each year of the plan.
Required nutrients are based on the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements and soil test results. The
quantity of nutrient supplied by each source is also identified.
The total quantity of nitrogen applied to each crop should not exceed the required' amount. However, the quantity of other -
nutrients applied may exceed their required amounts. This most commonly occurs when manure or other byproducts are utilized
to meet the nitrogen needs of the crop. Nutrient management plans may require that the application of animal waste be limited so
as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field. In such situations,
additional nitrogen applications from nonorganic sources may be required to supply the recommended amounts of nitrogen.

The Required Soil Test Values shown in the following table provide a summary of recommended actions that should be taken if soil tests indicate excessive levels of
copper or zinc. Fields that receive manure must have an annual soil analysis for these elements. High levels of zinc and copper can adversely affect plant growth.
Alternative crop sites must be used when the concentration of these metals approach excessive levels. Site life can be estimated by dividing the amount of copper and
zinc to be applied in lbs/acre by 0.036 and 0.071, respectively and multiplying the result by 0.85. By adding this quantity to the current soil index for copper or zinc, we
can predict life of the site for waste disposal.
In addition to copper and zinc indices, this table also provides a summary of lime recommendations for each crop based on the most recent soil sample. Application of
lime at recommended rates is necessary to maintain soil pH in the optimum range for crop production .

WHAT IS NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT?
The conservation practice, Nutrient
Management, is managing the amount,
source, placement, form and timing of the
application of nutrients and soil amendments
to achieve realistic production goals, while
minimizing nutrient movement to surface or
ground waters. The practice, Waste
Utilization, is using agricultural waste such as
manure or wastewater in an environmentally
sound manner. These practices are jointly
accomplished through the development of a
Nutrient Management/Waste Utilization Plan,
which is normally part of a broader
Conservation Plan that addresses multiple
natural resource concerns on the land.
PURPOSE OF.NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT
and WASTE UTILIZATION PRACTICES
Your nutrient management/waste utilization
plan is intended to accomplish one or more of
the following objectives:
• To budget nutrients for plant production.
• To properly utilize manure or organic by-
products as a plant nutrient source.
• To minimize the delivery of agricultural
nutrients to surface and ground water
resources.
• To maintain or improve the physical,
chemical, and biological condition of the
soil.
• To utilize agricultural wastes for
livestock feed or as an energy source.
CONTENTS OF THE NUTRIENT
MANAGEMENT / WASTE UTILIZATION
PLAN
The information provided in this Job
Sheet and the attachments meet the
minimum requirements for aNutrient
Management Plan,for USDA-NRCS
purposes. This Nutrient Management
Plan includes:
1 A plan map and soils map for the area
planned (these may be part of the
overall Conservation Plan).
2. Location of designated sensitive areas.
or resources (streams; wells,
sinkholes, etc.) and any associated
nutrient application setbacks, etc.
3. Your planned crop rotation.
4. Results of soil, plant, water tests.
5. Results from Phosphorus Loss
Assessment Tool (PLAT) or Leaching
Index (LI) as required.
6. Realistic yield expectations for the
crops in the rotation, and their source
if other than default values approved
for N.C.
7. Recommended nutrient application
rates for nitrogen, phosphorus, and
potassium, as well as timing, form;

and method of applicat• and
incorporation, if applicable.
8. This Job Sheet (or comparable
information), that provides the following:
General requirements of this practice,
as well as additional requirements to
meet the natural resource protection
purposes listed above.
• Additional considerations specific to
this plan.
• Operation and maintenance
information associated with this
practice.
Because this Nutrient Management Plan
includes agricultural organic sources,
additional items are required in the plan to
ensure proper waste utilization:
• -Waste Utilization Agreement (if
applicable)
• Waste Utilization Third Party
Agreement (if applicable)
• Additional, engineering design and
operating information_ for waste storage
structures, transport, and application
system,. as applicable. These designs,
and the instructions for operating these
structures, is an integral component of
your overall Nutrient Management/
Waste Utilization Plan.
Emergency Action Plan to prevent
overtopping or other discharges from
storage structures or facilities, as
applicable.
This plan was developed based on the current
NRCS 590 and 633 standards and Federal,
state, or local regulations or policies.
Changes in laws or regulations may
necessitate a revision of the plan. -
BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR WASTE
UTILIZATION
General
All manure and organic residues must be
applied according to a nutrient management
plan (see the following section, 'BASIC
REQUIREMEN S
MANAGEMENT')
FOR NUTRIENT
You are required to acquire and comply
with all federal, state, or local permit
requirements related to the handling and
application of manure or organic
materials.
The nutrient management/waste
utilization plan must address all organic
Waste generated at or biougl It tV Ule
facility. A Waste Utilization Third Party
Agreement must exist to address all
organic waste not handled by the nutrient
management/waste utilization plan.
Manure or organic wastes will not be
applied to the following, areas:
• surface waters,
• wetlands, unless constructed as a
component in a waste treatment
system,
• soils subject to frequent flooding
during the period when flooding is
expected,
• frozen, snow-covered, or saturated
soils,
• within 200 feet of a dwelling other
than those owned by the producer,
• within 100 feet of a well,
• within 25 feet of surface waters, or
• within any other setbacks as identified
by federal, state, or local laws or
regulations (e.g. NC General Statute
prevents swine lagoon effluent from
being applied within 75 feet of a
residential property boundary or
perennial stream or river if the facility
was sited on or after October 1995.)
Manure or organic wastes will be applied
in a manner not to reach surface waters,
wetlands (unless constructed as a
component in a waste treatment system),
property owned by others, or public right-
of-way.
Sludge that accumulates in waste storage
structures must be analyzed prior to land
NC Practice Job Sheet: NC-590 (August, 2003) - Page 2

application. Adequate pro ions (available
land and/or third party manure agreements)
must exist to ensure sludge is applied in
adherence to all nutrient.application
requirements: All federal and state guidance
regarding the proper testing, handling,
planning, and application of sludge must be
followed for regulated operations.
Since compliance with all applicable North
Carolina laws is the responsibility of the
rniii inor nn ehni 0A �, dt the mnet r irrcnt
version of the Guidance Memo for
Implementing the Environmental Management
Commission's. Regulations for Animal Waste
Management for questions.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR
PROVIDING LIVESTOCK FEED
If applicable, all agricultural wastes or other
organic residues used for feedstock must be
handled in a manner to minimize
contamination and preserve its feed value.
Chicken litter stored for this purpose must be
covered. A qualified animal nutritionist shall
develop rations that utilize animal wastes.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR
PROVIDING A SOURCE OF ENERGY
If your facility is to be used for energy
production, all energy producing components
of the system are included in the Nutrient
Management/Waste Utilization Plan and
provisions for the utilization of residues of
energy production identified. Your Nutrient
Management Plan includes the use of these
residues, if applicable.
BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR NUTRIENT
MANAGEMENT
General
Application of nutrients must comply with all
applicable Federal, state, and local laws and
regulations.
NC Practice Job Sheet: NC-590 (August, 2003)
The realistic yTSld expectations (RYES) in
this plan are based on one or more of the
following:
• Default values approved by the N.C.
Interagency Nutrient Management
Committee that incorporate soil
productivity information, yield data,
and research with North Carolina
soils, and cropping systems.
Additional information on the default
values may be found at:
www.soil.ncsu. edu/nmo/ncnmwoAndex. htm
Documented actual yield data from
the site, determined by the average of
the highest three yields of the last five
consecutive specific crop harvests.
(For forage crops, determine the
average of the highest three years of
the last five years.)
A fertilization rate recommended by
North Carolina State University may
be used in cases where no yield data
or approved RYE values exist for a
crop.
• An RYE inferred from a similar crop
on a soil with similar physical and
chemical features may be used for
new crops or in the absence of other
RYE data. This inferred RYE may
ONLY be specified by a certified
Nutrient Management planner.. .
Erosion, runoff, and water management
controls have been planned, as needed,
on fields that receive nutrients.
Soil Testing
This nutrient management plan has been
developed based on current soil test
results (no older than three years).
Soil samples must be collected and
prepared in accordance with North
Carolina State University or the North
Carolina Department of Agriculture and
Consumer Services (NCDA&CS)
Agronomic Division standards or
recommendations.
Page 3

Soil test analyses can be t7tkormed by any
laboratory or program that is certified by the
North Carolina Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (NCDENR), Division of
Water Quality, Laboratory Section.
NCDA&CS Agronomic Division uses the
Mehlich-3 extractant process for soil testing.
Growers who utilize other laboratories must
request the use of the Mehlich-3 methodology
to ensure the test results are compatible with
Nnrth ('arnlina'g nii itrient mananp_mant
planning and assessment tools. For statewide
consistency, all laboratories used must
provide fertilization recommendations using
guidelines and methodologies as referenced
at the NCDA&CS website:
www.ncaqr.comlagronomilobook.htm
Growers are encouraged to use a laboratory
that is supported by field research within the
state.
Soil testing shall include analysis for all
nutrients for which specific information is
needed to develop the nutrient plan.
Plant Tissue Testing
Tissue sampling and testing, when used, shall
be done in accordance with North Carolina
State University or NCDA&CS standards or
recommendations.
Manure Testing
Nutrient values of manure and organic by-
products shall be established for planning
purposes based on laboratory analysis,
acceptable default values, or historic records
for the operation.
When determining actual application rates, a
laboratory. analysis is required. State
regulations require that waste be tested within
60 days of utilization for some operations. In
the case of daily spreading, the waste must be
sampled and analyzed.at least once a year.
Acceptable laboratories include the
NCDA&CS Alponomic Division, or others
certified by the NCDENR.
Field Risk Assessment
A field -specific assessment of the
potential for phosphorus transport from
each field (or groups of similar fields)
have been conducted, using the North
Carolina Phosphorus Loss Assessment
Tool (PLAT)
PLAT assesses the potential for
phosphorus (P) to be transported from the
site to surface water through each of the
four primary loss pathways:
• sediment -bound P transported
through erosion,
• soluble P transported through
surface runoff,
• soluble P leached through the soil
profile, and
• non -incorporated source P
transported through surface
runoff.
Based on the assessment of each loss
pathway, PLAT produces a single rating
for each field. As shown below, this
rating will identify whether nitrogen or
phosphorus shall be the rate -determining
element in developing the planned
application rate for manure.
PLAT Rating
I Nutrient Application Criteria
LOW
Nitrogen -based manure
application.
MEDIUM
Nitrogen -based manure
application.
HIGH
Manure application limited to
phosphorus removal from site
in harvested plant biomass.
VERY HIGH
No additional manure
application to be specified in
plan for the site.
On all sites, regardless of the PLAT
rating, starter fertilizers may be
recommended in accordance with NCSU
guidelines or recommendations.
NC Practice Job Sheet NC-590 (August, 2003) Page 4

In some cases, specific Aervation practices
nutrientslot exceeds the soil test
that reduce the potential for phosphorus
transport have been incorporated into PLAT.
Examples include buffers or filter strips,
ponds, water table management, and residue
management and conservation tillage.
Similarly, soil erosion rates, either existing or
planned, have been incorporated into your
PLAT analysis. This information is shown on
the PLAT results enclosed. Because the
management of the site actually affects the
PI AT ratinn all nrartirpc irlpntifip.d nn the
PLAT analysis (including any required to
achieve the specified erosion rate) must be
either already installed or included in a
Conservation Plan for the Nutrient
Management Plan to be approved.
Nutrient Application Rates
Recommended nutrient application rates are
based on North Carolina State University or
NCDA&CS recommendations that consider
current soil test results, RYEs, and
management.
Liming material shall be applied as needed to
adjust soil pH to the specific range required by
the drop or crops in the rotation for optimum
availability and utilization of nutrients.
The application amount and rate (in/hr) for
liquid wastes (e.g. applied through irrigation)
..shall not result in runoff from the site: The
application shall not exceed the field capacity
of the soil.
The planned rates of nutrient application are
shown on the attached sheets. These rates
have been computed as follows:
Nitrogen Application - When the plan is
nitrogen -based (a PLAT rating of Low or
Medium), the application rate of manure or
organic by-products shall be based on the
recommended nitrogen rate using the RYE
for the site (or a rate recommended by
NCSU or NCDA in the case of crops
without established RYEs). This may
result in an application rate for other
recommendation.
When the plan is being implemented
on a phosphorus standard (a PLAT
rating of High or Very High), manure
or other organic by-products shall be
applied at rates consistent with the
phosphorus application guidance
below. In such situations, an
additional nitrogen application from
nnn-nrnanir cnt irrpc may ha rpm iirprl
to supply nitrogen at the rate
recommended by the RYE.
• Within the limits allowed by PLAT,
manure or other organic by-products
may be applied on soybeans at rates
equal to the estimated removal of
nitrogen in harvested plant biomass.
• All nitrogen rates for hay production
are for pure grass stands. Due to the
nutrient recycling by grazing animals,
the planned nitrogen rate per unit
yield for hay crops shall be reduced
by 25% for the portion of the expected
yield that is removed through grazing.
• Phosphorus Application — When
manure or other organic by-products
are used, the.planned rates of -
phosphorus application shall be based
on the PLAT rating'for the site, as
follows:
Low or Medium Rating — The
planned manure or organic by-
product application rate is based
on the nitrogen needs of the crop.
High Rating — The planned
manure or organic by-product
application rate is limited to the
phosphorus removal rate of the
harvested plant biomass.
Very High Rating — No additional
manure or organic by-product
application is specified in the plan.
NC Practice Job Sheet: NC-590 (August, 2003) - - Page 5

n
On all sites, regardless f the PLAT rating
starter fertilizers containing nitrogen,
phosphorus, and potassium may be
recommended in accordance with North
Carolina State. University guidelines or
recommendations.
A single application of phosphorus applied
as manure or organic by-product may be
made at a rate equal to the recommended
phosphorus application or estimated
phosphVl US removal .;- Ilal VeJIGd _1__4
biomass for the crop rotation or multiple
years in the crop sequence.
When such single applications are
made, the rate shall:
• not exceed the recommended
nitrogen application rate during the
year of application, or
♦ not exceed the estimated nitrogen
removal in harvested plant bio-
mass during the year of application
when there is no recommended
nitrogen application, or
♦ not be made on sites with a Very
High PLAT risk rating.
Potassium Application - Planned
potassium application rates should
match the soil test recommended rates
as closely as possible. (This is
particularly critical in situations where a
potentially harmful nutrient imbalance
in crops or forages may occur, such as
grass tetany). When using manure or
other organic sources, the addition of
potassium from non -organic sources
may be required.
• Other Plant Nutrients - The. planned
rates of application of other nutrients if
applicable are consistent with North
Carolina State University or the
NCDA&CS guidelines or
recommendations. .
Nutrient Application Timing
Timing of nutrient application shall
correspond as closely as possible with
NC Practice Job Sheet: NC-590 (August, 2003)
plant nutrient uptake characteristics, while
considering cropping system limitations,
weather and climatic conditions, and field
accessibility. Nutrients shall not be
applied to frozen, snow-covered, or
saturated soil.
Manure or organic by-products shall not
be applied more than 30 days prior to
planting of the crop or forages breaking
dormancy.
For nutrients applied through irrigation
systems, application equipment should be
properly calibrated to ensure uniform
distribution of material at planned rates.
Plan Review and Revision Period
A thorough review and revision (if
needed) of the nutrient management plan
shall be conducted on a regular cycle, not
to exceed five years.
Heavy Metals Monitoring
For animal waste, including sludge, zinc
and copper concentrations shall be
monitored and alternative crop sites for
application shall be sought when these
metals approach excessive
concentrations. The following criteria and
actions are provided:

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR
MINIMIZING DELIVERY OF NUTRIENTS TO
SURFACE AND GROUND WATER
In areas that have been identified as impaired
with agricultural nutrients being a likely
source, an assessment shall be completed of
the potential for nitrogen or phosphorus
transport from the site. (The streams/water
bodies in this category are listed in the USDA-
NRCS.Field Office Technical Guide, Section
I.)
,YJ NO
This nutrient management plan IS NOT in
an area where surface waters are
impaired, with agricultural nutrients
identified as a likely source. The Leaching
Index (LI) is not required.
❑ YES
This nutrient management plan IS in an
area where surface waters are impaired,
with agricultural nutrients identified as a
NC Practice Job Sheet: NC-590 (August, 2003)
likely S! rce. The Leaching Index (LI)
is included in this plan.
While the results of the LI does not affect
your planned nutrient application rates,
some additional conservation practices
maybe specified in the plan to reduce the
risk of nutrient movement from the field, if
applicable.
IMPORTANCE OF MANAGING
NUTRIENTS
Nitrogen and phosphorus are water
soluble elements and either or both may
be components of organic and inorganic
fertilizers. In soluble forms, both can
move with water as leachate down
through the soil, or over the soil surface
as runoff after rainfall. While nitrogen and
phosphorus exist in different forms and
may move through different transport
processes on the same site, they both
can have detrimental effects on both
surface and shallow ground water quality.
As an example, excess nutrients can
result in accelerated eutrophication with
severe algal blooms and fish kills.
Because of the topography, hydrology,
and other factors in the state, the
environmental problems from excess
nutrients reaching surface water may not
be exhibited near the contributing source,
but rather create water quality problems
far downstream. Consequently, the
Neuse River Basin, Tar -Pamlico Basin,
the Chowan River, the watershed of the
B. Everett Jordan Reservoir, and the

County are listed as Nutrient Sensitive
waters in North Carolina.
Nitrogen: Nitrogen applied as fertilizer or
organic material is transformed into
nitrate and can move with the water
moving downward into the shallow ground
water and eventually to surface waters.
(Relatively small amounts of nitrogen
reach our surface waters through rainfall
runoff. ) The Leaching Index (LI) is a
Page 7

required part of the nutrietmanagement plan
in some areas of the state with surface water
impairments. The LI uses soils information .
and local climate data to assess the potential
hazard from leaching of nutrients. The results
of the LI analysis and recommended actions
are included in your nutrient management
plan, if applicable.
Phosphorus: Research in recent decades
indicates that, with high soil phosphorus

transported off -site than recognized in the
past. Phosphorus can be transported in
several ways: (1) attached to soil particles
leaving the field through erosion, (2) in soluble
form leaving the field in surface runoff, and (3)
in soluble -form leaching downward through
the soil profile, and eventually into, surface
water. Unlike nitrogen, the most likely
transport pathway for phosphorus varies by
site, and depends upon such factors as soil
erosion rate, soil phosphorus levels, texture of
soils, existence of buffers, and other factors.
In N.C., PLAT is the tool -used to assess
potential excessive phosphorus losses. The
results of the PLAT analysis and
recommended actions are included in your
nutrient management plan, if applicable.
If a site receives a PLAT rating of Low or
Medium, then applying manure at rates based
on the nitrogen needs of the crop is allowed.
It is important to""realize that this may result in
phosphorus being applied at rates that
significantly exceed the crop's phosphorus
removal rate. In these cases, the planned
nutrient application rate is not sustainable;
and eventually a PLAT rating of High may be
reached.
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
You are responsible for safe operation and
maintenance of this practice, including all
equipment. The following Operation &
Maintenance should be conducted:

and accidental leakage or spillage.
3. Ensure proper calibration of
application equipment to ensure
uniform distribution of material at
planned rates.
4. Inspect and maintain the equipment
and facilities used to implement the
Nutrient Management/Waste
Utilization Plan regularly. Any needed
repairs should be made in a timely
manner.
5. Review the Emergency Action Plan, if
applicable, annually.
6. Records should be maintained for five
years, or for a period as required by
other Federal, state, or local
ordinances, or program or contract
requirements. To ensure adequate
information exists to support sound
nutrient management, NRCS
recommends the following records be
included:
• Soil test results and

NOTE: State laws or regulations may
define record -keeping requirements for
some operations.
7. Ensure that workers are protected from

use of protective clothing when working
with plant nutrients. Extra caution must be
taken when handling ammonia sources of
nutrients, or when dealing with organic
wastes stored in poorly ventilated
enclosures.
8. Properly dispose of material generated by
the cleaning of nutrient application
equipment. Excess material should be
collected and stored or field applied in an
appropriate manner. Excess material
should not be applied on areas of high
potential risk for runoff or leaching.
9. Properly dispose of or recycle nutrient
containers according to state and local
guidelines or regulations.

Field Calibration Procedures for Solid and
Semi -Solid Animal Waste Application Equipment
WEIGHT -AREA Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operat-
METHOD ing conditions for relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application
SPREADER SYSTEM rates change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. For
solid or semi -solid application equipment, application rates and patterns may
vary depending on forward travel and/or PTO speed, gear box settings, gate
openings, operating pressures, spread widths, and overlaps.
Equipment should be calibrated on a regular basis to ensure proper appli-
cation rates and uniformity. Calibration is a simple procedure involving col-
lecting and measuring the material being applied at several locations in the
application area. Calibration helps ensure that nutrients from animal waste
are applied efficiently and at proper rates.
Solid,or semi -solid (slurry) applicators can be calibrated by one of two
methods: load -area method, and weight -area method.
Load -Area Method -- collected material (weight) by the collection area.
To use the load -area method: you must know the Weight -Area Method Calibration

7. Subtract the empty tarp weight from the gross

8. Divide the amount of manure collected (pounds)
by the tarp area (square feet) and multiply this value
by 21.8 (43,560 ft2/ac divided by 2,000 Ibs/ton), to
convert pounds per square foot to tons per acre.
9. If the application rate needs to be adjusted, make
the necessary changes (spreader settings, speed, or
both) and repeat the procedure until the desired
application rate is obtained.
Spreader Pattern Uniformity
Determination of spreader uniformity is an impor-
tant component of spreader calibration. The pattern

To determine the uniformity of spread and the
amount of overlap needed:
1. Place aline of small pans or trays equally spaced
(2 to 4 feet apart) across the spreader path (See Figure
2). Label the pans chronologically as left or right from
the center pan. Center pans may need to be shifted
slightly out of the spreader wheel tracks. (Pans should
be a minimum of 12 by 12 inches, no more than 24
by 24 inches, and 2 to 4 inches deep.)
2. Make one spreader pass directly over the center
pan at normal operating speed and spreader settings.

3. Weigh and record the contents caught in each pan.
4. The effective spread width is found by locating
the pan on either side of the path center where the
contents caught in the container is one-half the
amount caught in the center pan.
5. The distance between the two pans on either side
of the center (in Number 4) is the effective width.
The outer fringes of the coverage area beyond these
points should be overlapped on each subsequent
path Figure 2 (left). Position of catch pans to

should have at least 100 square feet (9'X12', 10'X10', etc.) of surface area.
a. - width X length - = area ft' _
2. Start applying manure downrange of the tarp and spread directly -across the center of it in a manner similar
to the regular spreading patterns and settings of the applicator (speed, spreader settings, overlap).
Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial `
b. Forward speed, gear, or

c. PTO speed or setting
d. Spreader gate setting
3. Transfer the manure collected on the tarp into a weighing container and weigh using an accurate set of
spin- tension or platform scales.
e. Empty weight of weighing container Ibs
f. Gross weight of container + manure

The table shown below provides a summary of the crops or rotations included in this plan for each field. Realistic Yield estimates are
also provided for each crop, as well as the crop's P205 Removal Rate. The Leaching Index (LI) and the Phosphorous Loss Assessment
Too] (PLAT) Rating are also provided for each field, where available.
If a field's PLAT Rating is High, any planned manure application is limited to the phosphorous removal rate of the harvested plant
biomass for the crop rotation or multiple years in the crop sequence. Fields with a Very High PLAT Rating should receive no
additional applications of manure. Regardless of the PLAT rating, starter fertilizers may be recommended in accordance with North
Carolina State University guidelines or recommendations. The quantity of P205 applied to each crop is shown in the following table if
the field's PLAT rating is High or Very High.

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of' the number of acres of cropland needed to use
the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements, and proper liming of applications to
maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of flirt amount of nitrogen require(] by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or other by-products,
conunercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to supply the indicated quantity
of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides
for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

The Nutrient Management Recommendations table shown below provides an annual summary of the nutrient management plan
developed for this operation. This table provides a nutrient balance for the listed fields and crops for each year of the plan. -
Required nutrients are based on the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements and soil test results. The
quantity of nutrient supplied by each source is also identified.
The total quantity of nitrogen applied to each crop should not exceed the required amount. However, the quantity of other
nutrients applied may exceed their required amounts. This most commonly occurs when manure or other byproducts are utilized
to meet the nitrogen needs of the crop.. Nutrient management plans may require that the application of animal waste be limited so
as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field. In such situations,
additional nitrogen applications from nonorganic sources may be required to supply the recommended amounts of nitrogen.

The Required Soil Test Values shown in the following table provide a summary of recommended actions that should be taken if soil tests indicate excessive levels of
copper of zinc. Fields that receive manure must have an annual soil analysis for these elements. High levels of zinc and copper can adversely affect plant growth.
Alternative crop sites must be used when the concentration of these Metals approach excessive levels. Site life can be estimated by dividing the amount of copper and
zinc to be applied in Ibs/acre by 0.036 and 0.071, respectively and multiplying the result by 0.85. By adding this quantity to the current soil index for copper or zinc, we .
can predict life of the site for waste disposal.
In addition to copper and zinc indices, this table also provides a summary of lime recommendations for each crop based on the most recent soil sample. Application of
lime at recommended rates. is necessary to maintain soil pH in the optimum range for crop production .

Crop Notes
Fescue: Piedmont
The following crop note applies to field(s): 1
Adaptation: Well -adapted.
In the Piedmont, tall fescue can be planted Aug. 20 to Oct. 10 (best) and Feb. 15 to Mar. 20. For
pure -stand broadcast seedings use 20 to 30 lb/ac., for drilled use 15 to 201b/ac. seed. Use certified seed
to avoid introducing weeds or annual ryegrass. Plant seed 0.25" to 0.5" deep for pure stands, 0.25" in
mixture with clovers. Soil test for preplant and maintenance lime, phosphorus, and potassium
recommendations. Apply 40 to 60 lb/ac nitrogen at planting for pure stands only. Do not apply N for
mixtures with clovers but use proper legume inoculation techniques. Apply 150 to 200 lb/ac. N to
pure -stand fescue for hay production; reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Apply N Feb. 1 to Mar. 20 and
Aug. 20 to Sept. 30, with equal amounts in each window. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305
Production and Utilization of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for additional information or
consult your regional agronomist or extension agent for assistance.
The following crop note applies to field(s): IA, 7, 7A
Corn Silage: Piedmont and Mountains
In the Piedmont, corn should be planted when soil temperature reaches 52 to 55 degrees fahrenheit. Plant
1-2" deep. Adequate depth control is essential. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and
information from private companies to select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for .
your area and conditions. Apply 10 to 12 lbs. nitrogen per ton of.expected yield. All nitrogen can be
applied at planting. Also acceptable is to apply 2/3 to 3/4 of the nitrogen at planting and the rest when
com is in the 7 to 9 leaf stage. Tropical corn for silage needs about 6-8 lbs nitrogen per ton of expected
yield applying no more than 100 to 120 lbs total nitrogen. Research has shown that nitrogen can be
reduced by approximately 15 percent when soil injected. The total N is dependent on the soil type and
expected yield. Apply phosphorus and potassium according to a soil test before planting. Phosphorus
is best utilized when banded with the planter as a starter. Plant samples can be analyzed during the
growing season to monitor the nutrient status of the com. Timely management of weeds and insects is
essential in profitable com silage production. Plant a cover crop after harvest.

The following crop note applies to field(s): IA, 7, 7A
Small Grain Silage. Piedmont and Mountains
In the Piedmont, small grain silage should be planted from October 10 to November 3. In the Mountains,
small grain silage should be planted from September 15 to October 31. Plant 18 to 22 seed/drill row foot
at 1-1 1/2" deep and increase the seeding rate by 5% for each week seeding is delayed beyond the
optimum time frame. See the seeding rates table for applicable seeding rate modifications in the current
NCSU "Small Grain Production Guide".Also, increase the initial seeding rate by at least 10% when
planting no -till. Adequate depth control when planting the small grain is essential. Review the NCSU
Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding variety
with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Apply approximately 30 Ibs N at planting.
Increase N at planting by 20% for no -till. Phosphorus and potassium should be applied according to a
soil test at this time. The remaining N should be applied during February -March. Apply 10 to 12 lbs. N
per ton of expected yield. The total N is dependent on soil type and expected yield. Plant samples can be
analyzed during the growing season to monitor the nutrient status of the small grain. Timely management
of diseases, weeds and insects are essential for profitable small grain silage production. Plant a cover
crop after harvest.
