If you can keep the salts down to less than 500 pounds of salt per acre in the germination zone.... should be OK.  

We experienced an issue with soybean germination last spring with a hog manure application of 4000 gallons/acre applied three or four days prior to planting the soys.  Broadcast applied.  Worked in with a soil finisher.  Won't make that mistake again. Replanted it 15 days later to corn.  No problem with the corn.
