Abstract: A Chesapeake Bay Watershed manure management model estimates the minimal regional cost of land applying manure at $110 to $130 million, depending on crop producer's willingness to accept manure and the nutrient standard enforced. Annualized capital costs of existing industrial plants indicate that off-farm options should be considered.
