Manure application risky in winter
Wait until there's no rain or melting snow, officials say
Gannett Wisconsin Newspapers
MADISON — With rain and warmer temperatures predicted over the weekend and into next week, state agriculture and water quality officials are urging Wisconsin farmers to avoid applying manure if rain is forecast for their area or snow is melting or expected to melt.
Oh no, where are you libs on this!
"What we apply on top of the snow this weekend is probably going to run off and get in ditches and sinkholes," said William Hafs, director of the Brown County Land Conservation Department. "I really think people should hold off applying manure to fields this weekend."
I would hold off , (sorry cannot complete this comment).

I do want to thank the many small farmers that built this country.
But alas, most are gone!
