Manure Injection vs. Surface Application
John Hanchar, Farm Business Management Specialist
Northwest New York Dairy, Livestock & Field Crops
September 23, 2015
Summary
- Owners of dairy farm businesses face numerous challenges as they manage manure to meet financial, environmental, and other farm business objectives; seeking alternatives that best fit their operations.
- Partial budget analysis examining the change to manure injection from surface application followed by incorporation suggest relatively modest expected declines in annual profit that averaged about negative $5,900 over three farm sizes, 500, 1,000 and 2,000 cows.
- Producers committed to achieving odor control objectives might be willing to accept relatively modest declines in profit.
