Manure Incorporation
For those of you who are implementing the manure incorporation practice for the H2Ohio Program, please turn in a current manure test. In addition to the manure test, we will need to know which fields and when you are planning to spread your manure. Please submit your manure test as soon as possible. When we receive your manure test, we will write a manure recommendation for you to utilize that follows tri-state recommendations. You must follow the manure recommendations in order to receive payment for this practice. Please remember to notify Hancock SWCD 24 to 48 hours prior to manure application. Additionally, be sure to follow Ohio NRCS 590 Standard and Senate Bill 1. Contact the Special Projects Technician with any questions either by phone (419) 422-6569 or by email h2ohio@hancockswcd.com
