Answer 2

Answer: if a farmer or rancher wants to change the nutrients in his or her soil

Step-by-step explanation:

The nutrients in the manure plays an important role in growth and development of the crops and they improve the fertility of the soil. Certain mineral elements present in the manure can change the pH of the soil which can affect the growth of the plants. Thus the mineral content of the manure should be tested thoroughly before changing the nutrients in the soil by providing the manure to the soil.
