Author
Steinberg, Sam; Gooch, Curt; Czymmek, Karl
Abstract
There are six main benefits associated with covering manure storages with impermeable covers: reduction in manure spreading costs, increased storage time (for existing storages) or reduced storage size required for a given target storage period (for new storages), retained manure fertilizer value, increased flexibility to spread during delayed spring years, reduced odors and greenhouse gas emissions, and reduced safety hazards.
