Calculating the Value of Manure for Crop Production Spreadsheet Instructions
Instructions for using the spreadsheet, Nebraska Manure Value Calculator, ver 1.33. The spreadsheet is an electronic version of the process described in the NebGuide 1519, Calculating the Value of Manure for Crop Production. Both the spreadsheet and NebGuide calculate the value of a manure source for a specific field, including the value of manure nutrients used between manure applications. The value of other benefits of using manure, such as an expected yield increase, also can be estimated and included in the calculations. The instructions guide the user through the eight linked worksheets and document details that are not included in the software or NebGuide.
