The wet weather and delayed has created problems for Iowa livestock producers who want to apply manure to fields this fall. Ken Hessenius with the Department of Natural Resources says the rainfall has also helped fill up manure storage areas and finding a way to draw them down hasn’t been easy.

Hessenius says there are some other things that can be done to keep full lagoons from overflowing.

Hessenius says the dry days will hopefully stretch out awhile and help ease some of the problems.
