Livestock manure remains one of the most undervalued tools in American agriculture. Despite its rich nutrient profile, soil health benefits, and potential to reduce fertilizer costs, manure is used on less than 10% of U.S. cropland. Meanwhile, synthetic fertilizer prices continue to climb. In this episode, Damian Mason speaks with Iowa farmer Kellie Blair and University of Minnesota manure specialist Dr. Nancy Bohl Bormann to discuss why it is time to reevaluate manure’s role in crop fertility strategies. The conversation explores manure’s contribution to nitrogen and phosphorus needs, its impact on soil biology, and the logistical and regulatory factors limiting broader adoption.
