Manure Spreader Rental at St. Mary's Soil Conservation District

Manure Spreader

    The St. Mary’s Soil Conservation District purchased our manure spreader in response to the Water Quality Improvement Act of 1998. This legislation required all agricultural operations that gross $2,500 or more annually, or have more than eight (8) animal units (one animal unit equals 1,000 pounds), to develop and implement nutrient management plans by certain dates.

    The 16 foot Gehl side discharge manure spreader was purchased in December 14, 2000 with funds provided by the Chesapeake Bay Trust. It is available for lease by all livestock producers so that they can meet the requirements of their nutrient management plan. The spreader can be calibrated to evenly spread manure as low as one ton per acre.

    In order to lease the spreader, please print out and mail the rental agreement(pdf) and copy of Certificate of Insurance to the District or complete the interest form (see below) and someone will
contact you as soon as possible.
