Only a few days remain before the start of North America's largest manure-specific trade show and field day.

The 2018 North American Manure Expo is being held August 15th and 16th at the Swiftel Center in Brookings, South Dakota, and promises to be two days filled with the latest and greatest information related to manure and nutrient management.

The first day, Wednesday, Aug. 15th, features three separate tours of local operations from differing sectors – dairy, beef and swine.

Tours cost $20 to attend and include transportation to and from the Swiftel Centre in Brookings, as well as a box lunch. Pre-registration is required.

Following the tours, attendees will have an opportunity to view equipment demonstrations highlighting lagoon agitation before returning to the show grounds to visit the trade show and take part in industry presentations.

The second day, Thursday, Aug. 16th, starts with a morning of education sessions. Attendees can choose from 24 different manure-related education talks, which have been arranged in four concurrent sessions. Themes include manure basics, manure and the environment, manure on the job site, and manure and soil health.

In the afternoon, attendees can visit the trade show and also view the newest equipment at work in the field. About one dozen solid and seven liquid spreaders are scheduled to demonstrate. There will also be compost turning, a compaction demonstration, a discussion on pit additives plus demonstration of side dressing corn using a drag hose system.

These two days promise to be a great opportunity to see and learn everything there is to know about manure application and management. But you need to act quickly in order not to miss out. Register today!
