Notes:
1. Where no error letter appears beside a number, the standard error ranges between 0.005% and 12.49%. Results are considered excellent to acceptable.
2. The shares of farms with livestock do not sum to 100%, because it was possible for an individual farm to apply manure in more than one season.
