Central Iowa
Having hog manure applied this weekend onto corn stalks going back to corn next year. How long after the manure is applied should we wait to disc rip the field? We will need to get more of the corn residue incorporated than what will be done after the manure application. Do we risk losing N by disturbing it within a day or two after application or should we wait for a week or more?
