Texas
Manure is excellent fertility. Just be careful how much you apply. It's easy to get carried away. Around 20 tons/acre beef manure disked in is a pretty good load. You will probably need to supplement some nitrogen since beef manure breaks down slower than the corn will need it, especially sweet corn. Some where around 100 units of N/acre should be plenty. Seems the more fertility you put on corn the sweeter it tastes.
If your looking at some other form of manure someone else may be more familiar with the breakdown.
