Manure application on snow covered ground

In 2009, the Iowa Legislature passed a bill pertaining to winter application of manure on snow-covered and frozen ground. The rules enforcing that legislation were completed earlier this year and went into effect on Sept. 15, 2010. Whether you are regulated or not, application of manure on frozen or snow covered ground is not recommended.
