The manure storage must be able to contain all waste and not generate polluted runoff. Prevent clean water from entering the manure storage.
Less volume means less to spread which equates to a reduction in spreading costs.
Slope new roofs away from storage. Install properly sized eaves trough and outlet pipes on buildings to direct clean water away from storage. Reroute any surface water flows. Use a vegetated buffer strip between the barn and the storage to capture roof water and direct it away from the manure storage. Incorporate all manure within 24 hours of application for maximum crop benefit, and to maintain good neighbour relations.
