For winter manure applications on fields with slopes greater than 6% and/or concentrated flow channels present in or on the field boundary, a minimum of two conservation practices listed in the 590 Standard must be in place.

 

To select the winter conservation practices, go to the Winter Practices button over the Manure/Biosolids Application table.

 

This will open up the Winter manure spreading practices selection box:

 

 

 

At the top of the box, will be an indication of whether the practices are required for concentrated flow channels in the field, slopes greater than 6%, or both.

A note indicates whether any practices have been followed but are not selected. The software is able to tell that these practices are planned for in the program.

 

If practice c.is selected, the Winter spreadable acres for the field will automatically be reduced by 50%.
