My rhubarb has healthy leaves but very short stems. How can I encourage the stems to grow much longer?

I planted new Rhubarb in the ground and used old poultry manure to feed them, it took two seasons for the plants to grow large stems. If you have new plants it will take a few seasons for them to do much better. Water daily and good luck
