The 2026 North American Manure Expo, held July 28-30 at the Wayne County Fairgrounds in Wayne, Nebraska, was a tremendous success! Bringing together manure applicators, farmers, industry professionals, Extension/University professionals, researchers, and advocates from across North America, the Expo offered something for everyone interested in the future of manure management.

Water is the first thing that limits a soybean crop in Nebraska, whether you farm dryland or irrigate. So when a product promises to hold more water in the root zone and carry the crop through dry stretches, it’s worth a hard look. Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) are soil-applied granules and powders that swell and hold many times their weight in water and have been marketed for exactly that job.
