  1. Chapter 6: Record Keeping

  2. Record Keeping • Record keeping is needed to keep up with the management of the waste application system. • Record forms provided here will: • help you to easily track your waste applications • provide you with an easy resource to ensure that you do not exceed waste applications to any fields

  3. Required Records • The following records need to be available at the farm to satisfy the Division of Water Quality farm inspection procedures: • waste application records • map of farm fields including waste application fields and acreage • certified animal waste management plan • waste sample analysis • annual soil analysis for each field receiving waste applications

  4. Beneficial Records • The following records are not required but may be beneficial if your waste management needs updating: • daily farm rain records • weekly lagoon level (freeboard) records • plant analysis reports • animal population • crop yields • surface water and groundwater quality records

  5. Records for Liquid Manure Applications • IRR-1: Lagoon liquid irrigation field record is to be used to record each irrigation event. • IRR-2: Cumulative lagoon liquid irrigation field record is to record the total annual waste application to one field per crop cycle.

  6. Records for Slurry Manure Applications • SLUR-1: Liquid manure slurry field record is to be used to record each waste application event if the producer is using a slurry or pump and haul system. • SLUR-2: Cumulative liquid manure slurry field record is to record the total annual waste application to one field per crop cycle with a slurry or pump and haul system.

  7. SI = soil incorporated (disked) BR = broadcast (surface applied) 1 Can be found in operator’s manual for the spreader. Contact a local dealer if you do not have your owner’s manual. 2

  8. Records for Semisolid or Solid Manure Applications • SLD-1: Solid or semisolid (dry stack) field record is to be used to record each waste application event if the producer is using a manure/box spreader. • SLD-2: Cumulative solid field record is to record the total annual waste application to one field per crop cycle.

  9. Example Irrigation Records Using Forms IRR-1 and IRR-2: • Joe Pigford maintains a 3000 head feeder-to-finish operation. • Estimated volume of lagoon liquid generated annually is approximately 2.8 million gallons. • Waste analyses: • February 8, 1996-2.5 lb PAN/1000 gal • April 10, 1996-2.5 lb PAN/1000 gal

  10. Example Irrigation Records Using Forms IRR-1 and IRR-2: • He irrigates two crops with wastewater using a traveling gun that applies 300 gpm. • Tract T1004: corn-traveling gun pulls are considered Fields 1 to 4, 6 acres each. • Tract T1005: bermuda hay-traveling gun pulls are considered Fields 5 and 6, which are 8 and 4 acres respectively.

  11. Example Irrigation Records Using Forms IRR-1 and IRR-2: • His waste utilization plan shows that his anticipated yield for corn is 100 bushels per acre and he should apply 1.0 pound of PAN per bushel yield. • Tract T1004: PAN needed for corn:

  12. Example Irrigation Records Using Forms IRR-1 and IRR-2: • His yield of bermudagrass is estimated at 6 tons/acre and he should apply 50 pounds of PAN per ton of yield. His PAN application rates are as follows: • Tract T1005: PAN needed for bermuda hay:

  13. Example Irrigation Records Using Forms IRR-1 and IRR-2: • Joe’s Lagoon Liquid Irrigation Field Record (Form IRR-1) follows. • Transfer the information for Fields 1 and 5 each onto a separate Form IRR-2. • Complete the calculations to determine whether Joe has met his nitrogen requirement for his corn crop and bermuda hay. • Round off to one decimal point on the plant-available nitrogen applied shown in Column 10 on Form IRR-2.

  14. Example Slurry Application Records Using Forms SLUR-1 and SLUR-2: • Milky Smith maintains a 120-head dairy operation. • The farm produces an estimate of nearly 1,000,000 gallons of waste slurry per year. • Waste analysis of slurry: • March 1, 1996—8.2 lb PAN/1000 gal

  15. Example Slurry Application Records Using Forms SLUR-1 and SLUR-2: • He makes waste applications to 4 fields, which are: • Field 1: corn—24 acres • Field 2: corn—14 acres • Field 3: bermudagrass—16 acres • Field 4: soybeans—18 acres

  16. Example Slurry Application Records Using Forms SLUR-1 and SLUR-2: • His waste utilization plan shows that his anticipated yield for corn is 100 bushels per acre and he should apply 1.1 pounds of PAN per bushel of expected yield. • Field 1: PAN needed for corn:

  17. Example Slurry Application Records Using Forms SLUR-1 and SLUR-2: • Milky’s Slurry Application Field Record (Form SLUR-1) follows. • Transfer the information for Field 1 onto form SLUR-2. • Complete the calculations to determine whether Milky has met his nitrogen requirement for his corn in Field 1. • His application equipment is a tractor-drawn tanker (honeywagon) which holds 2000 gallons.

  18. Example Solids Application Records Using Forms SLD-1 and SLD-2: • John Manurehauler maintains a 80-head dairy operation and utilizes a dry stack waste storage system. • Waste analysis of his dry stack: • April 1, 1996-4.2 lb PAN/ton • He land applies the manure to two fields: • Field 1: corn-12 acres • Field 2: fescue pasture-27 acres

  19. Example Solids Application Records Using Forms SLD-1 and SLD-2: • His waste utilization plan shows that his anticipated yield for fescue pasture is 4 tons hay per acre. • He should apply 50 pounds of PAN per ton of expected yield. • He also must reduce his application rate by 25 percent due to grazing.

  20. Example Solids Application Records Using Forms SLD-1 and SLD-2: • Step 1: • Step 2: Since the application rate for grazed land is 75 percent of the application rate for hay:

  21. Example Solids Application Records Using Forms SLD-1 and SLD-2: • John’s Manure Solids and Sludge Application Field Record (SLD-1) follows. • Transfer the information for Field 2 onto form SLD-2. • Complete the calculations to determine whether John has met his nitrogen requirement for his grazed fescue pasture. • He utilizes an 8-ton manure spreader and surface applies (broadcasts) the manure.
