• MANURE DISPOSAL PLAN Parris Property, 8512 Highway 19, Cross Plains, WI The following plan will serve to adequately provide for the removal of horse manure and used bedding from the horse stalls to tillable fields where the manure can be incorporated into the soil as fertilizer, for up to 50 horses living on the property and occasional additional horses present during horse shows, clinics, etc. (Please refer to the two maps, attached, labeled EXHIBIT A and EXHIBIT B.) Normal Manure Disposal Procedures: Late Fall, Winter, Early Spring: From the time corn is harvested until the time corn is planted the following year, all manure will be spread on cornfields on Bergen property located immediately adjacent to Parris property, as shown on EXHIBIT A. (See attached permission agreement.) Alternate contingencies: There are other neighbors nearby who would be happy to let us spread manure on their fields during this time period, we could spread in the large horse pastures shown on EXHIBIT B, or we could stockpile manure in the 8,000 square foot location shown on EXHIBIT B. Late Spring, Summer, Early Fall: During this period we spread on the Riding Path which is shown on EXHIBIT B. This path is about 15 feet wide, and about 3/4 mile in length. By spreading thin enough that the grass is not completely covered we avoid damaging the grass. Each time we spread, we begin where we left off the day before, and in so doing we put a thin coating over the whole path over a period of time which will vary according to the number of horses present. Horse manure is by nature primarily woody fiber, which breaks down quickly in the presence of sun, wind and rain, so by the time we get back around to the beginning of the path again, we can start all over. In this fashion we can dispose of manure during the period when spreading on fields is not advantageous, without the need to stockpile. Alternate contingencies: We have large areas of lawn we could spread onto if we really needed to, we could spread on our 4 acre hayfield in between cuttings, or on our neighbors' hayfields, some of our neighbors have manure stockpiles which we could put our manure into on a temporary basis, or we could stockpile manure in the 8,000 square foot location shown on EXHIBIT B.
