Nutrient Advisors presentation by: Andy Scholting

 Bringing Value back to the operation by efficiently utilizing Manure and Wastewater resources whether on their own farm or their neighbors farms. This is the only way that compliance information will return revenue to the operation

 Commercial Fertilizer Value  Productivity & Profitability  Premiums  Discounts  What is the need?

 Distance  Cost of Transport and Application  Logistics  Products

20 tons per acre Fertilizer Value = $500 20 bushels yield adv 20 x $3.50 x 4yrs = $280 Total value to deficient farm = $780/acre

20 tons per acre Nitrogen Value = $40 0 bushels yield adv = $0 Total value to fertile farm = $40/acre

 Uniformity  Spreadability  Availability  Timing  Particle Size

 Inconsistency  Spreadability  High Rates  Concrete and other debris

 Manure should not be considered a luxury investment  Tighter grain margins means that the extra yield is that much more important  We have to know our costs/value and manage it very well
