BEST MANURE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES Public concerns have increased the pressure on farmers and custom pumpers to meet best manure management practices (BMP) to improve the most effective use of manure on the soil. Regulatory issues vary in every jurisdiction, and are constantly changing. Only being able to apply during a specific time period increases the requirement for manure storage. Solids settling will reduce the nutrient value stored in manure, decreasing your potential for yield increase. The loss of nutrient value when applying manure pre- and post-crop necessitates the use of...

UTILIZING THE BENEFITS OF YOUR MANURE HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER The CMA generates a larger time window for spreading liquid manure, allowing you to spread via side-dress, during the row crop growing season. The most recent research has proven that the CMA can generate more profits by utilizing the nutrients in manure (N, P & K) while the crop is growing. At the same time, public concerns are minimized by utilizing incorporation instead of spraying of liquid manure. Runoff is reduced, nutrient utilization is increased, and concerns from neighbours about smell, and wider concerns about runoff and...

CMA Injector – Retrieval Cycle The tractor returns at the same speed it is pulled out. Tractor ground speed on the return trip is synchronized with the rate of speed that the CMA rewinds the hose. CMA Injector – Advanced Turn The 4WD CMA reel and steering is controlled remotely from the applicator tractor cab. While the operator is completing his return trip, the remote automatically moves the CMA forward another 60’ (18 m) or 80’ (24 m) in order to start another
