In the fall of 1994 three application methods were studied to examine the impact of swine manure on Hard Red Spring (HRS) wheat protein and yield. The three alternatives included a control, ripped and 8,000 gal/acre of swine manure. The addition of the swine manure significantly increased grain yield and protein content. Grain yield varied from 2.08 t/ha for the control and 3.33 t/ha for the manure application and 11.3% and 16.4% protein respectively. Manure applied at a rate of 8,00 gal/acre had a significant effect on yield and protien when compared against the control, with the most pronounced effects in soils that have inherently nitrogen supplying power.
