A new law will go into effect in a few months that will necessitate that most farmers monitor the weather before spreading manure. While several applications and farming operations are exempt from the ruling, farmers in northwest and west central Ohio will be under more specific requirements when it comes to spreading manure.
Our region’s manure laws will change in June to prohibit manure application on frozen ground, among other prohibitions.
The new manure law only applies to livestock producers in northwest and west central Ohio. A large part of The Lima News’ circulation area is included in the geography that will be subject to the new manure application laws.
