My hog farmer neighbor told me the new NRCB rules for a "Nutrient Management plan" are going to be based on Nitrogen content in your soil? Now is this dumb or what?
All manure including hog manure has a lot more P in it than N? But yet P is not going to be a limiting factor in how much manure you can put on! Phosphorus is the main problem...not the N!
The bottom line is by the time you get up to the N limits you are going to be way over the limit for P! But the NRCB doesn't require you to limit P!
In other words this whole "Nutrient Mangement Plan" is in fact another goofy government program that is designed to look good but actually accomplishes nothing other than giving more idiots jobs!
