An updated calculator for estimating manure value is now available for download. Three examples, based on our Certified Livestock Manager training worksheets for swine, beef/dairy solid manure w/bedding, and turkey litter are available. Both PDF and Excel files can be downloaded.

Users can enter their own values for manure application rate, manure application cost, crop type, history and nutrient needs, and the prices of commercial N, P, K equivalents.
