<<I'm not a farmer but I grow just not on your scale........tomatoes and corn mostly......some odds and ends of others.>>
<<Compost......probably not as good as hog manure but it does the job.>>

One thing to watch with compost is your soil ph. It can get on the acid side but a little lime will take care of that.

I wouldn't use fresh manure close to the tomatoes, grow lots of vines and little fruit, too much nitrogen. Composted cow manure would be ok though. Now corn loves nitrogen. That's the fertilizer that's jumped this year.
