Slurry wizard user guide: Guidance sheet (tab 1)

The slurry wizard has four functions:

1. Calculates the existing slurry capacity.
2. Calculates the existing slurry production.
3. Generates a report to look at the monthly production compared to existing storage.
4. Calculates the nitrogen produced in organic manures per hectare.

The slurry wizard includes the typical costs of slurry storage and associated operating costs for slurry spreading. If you wish, you can change some of the operating costs and the capital costs to refine the report for your own farm situation using your own figures.
