I was making it EU metrics friendly. I think the internet gets my point. It wasn't the official setting on the plow. It also depends greatly if you live in a cold or warm area.

Note to any readers....set your manure knifing rig to 18 inches please! For you EU internet farmers, that's only 1/2 meter deep. (Roughly)

The farmer I help in Lawrence county, TN, doesn’t apply any manure or fertilzer more than 4” deep. The second application of liquid nitrogen happens at about 2-3 weeks after crop emergence, and is laid right on top of the ground, next to the plant row on each side. Some of that is surely lost if there’s a heavy downpour.
