Drilling liquid manure?

I was browsing some quebec/french magazines and one company had a 2 page spread on what appeared to be sub surface injection of liquid manure. Big computer controlled booms and nozzles, huge 8 wheeled tanks.

This makes a lot of sense to me as a lot of the nitrogen is boiled off with it laying on top, and it keeps the smell down for those with fussy neighbours.

Is this really that common? People here are 90% liquid spray and 10% dry spread.

to put on our manure out of the hog lagoons we use a drag hose and pull an aerway with the tractor lets it soak right in to the soil and can put on pasture or hay ground and never tear it up

Around here,you either have to inject in soil or incorporate with tillage equipment within 24hrs.for liquid manure.

I've seen farm paper articles criticizing injecting liquid manure straight into the ground too. Argument is that it doesn't get air and naturally break down under the soil, as it would sitting on top of it.

Seems to me just a way to keep neighbors mouths shut.

Here in east central IOWA they have been putting it in the soil for yrs why would you let the sun and rain leach it away.

Here you just about need to cover liquid one way or another, twin discs behind the applicator throws some dirt on it, otherwise it's injected deeper.

Bedding pack ( solid with straw) is still spread on the surface, they really would like to require it be incorporated within 24 hours, but haven't gotten the law in force - yet.

Almost everyone here just relies on rain when spreading liquid. It rains enough it not usually a problem. Very few spread on a plowed field. I've never seen anyone disc it in.

The big dairy down the road here in the extreme North West corner of Ohio is doing that every day the weather lets them. 4000 cows puts out a lot of slurry. They are also spreading the non liquid on top. The neighbors don't like that much. That is changing as they are running a lot thru the methane breeder and making electricity.

Guy that used to do pigs here did that. He quit pigs when they got down to pennies per pound.
