(Ames, IA) — A global fertilizer shortage has Iowa farmers considering the use of liquid manure for their cropland. The shortage has caused prices for commercial fertilizer to spike. Iowa State University Extension agricultural engineer Kris Kohl says liquid manure can be a cheaper alternative. ISU Extension will hold a workshop in Storm Lake on August 2nd for those who have manure to sell – and those looking to buy it. ISU experts estimate 14-billion gallons of manure are spread on Iowa fields in a typical year.
