It appears chat the wastewater alone should <br /> provide more than enough nutrient for corn-oats. I am enclosing a copy of my calculations. <br /> T recommend that rates of nutrient application be based on analytical data as follows: <br /> 1. Sample wastewater and manure periodically and accurately to determine the N,P`and K content. <br /> 2. Determine volume of wastewater applied to the cropland. <br /> 3. Calculate the pounds of N,P and K per acre. <br /> 4. Test soils at least annually for at least N,P and K. Complete soil tests provide i4ortaut <br /> information. <br /> 5. Consider plant tissue anatyais during the growing season. <br /> Manure or wastewater inexcess of crop needs shotild be exported or applied to additional cropland. <br /> Excess rates of nutrient can not only threaten water quality,but can be repressive to crop growth. <br /> It is my understanding that there is a name change'plartrted for the property on which dairy waste is being <br /> applied. This name change does not adversely effect the waste loading as long as the acreage of <br /> cropland on which dairy waste is applied is not decreased- <br /> If you have any questions Concerning this matter,please call me at(916)255-3110_ <br /> L01AS F.
