Manure Spreader
Whatcom Conservation District offers low-cost rental of a manure spreader for small-scale farms to apply nutrients to fields when crops are actively growing and can use them.
The spreader is a 2.5-cubic-yard, ground-driven solids spreader (Wallenstein MX25) and is available to residents of Whatcom County.
Eligibility
To be eligible to rent the spreader, you must have either:
- A current farm plan with Whatcom Conservation District.

To reduce the risk of manure contamination of surface waters, Whatcom Conservation District also provides a free online Application Risk Management tool.
Please complete the worksheet for your site in advance before renting the spreader.
