Spreading Chicken litter. The farming side of things.

The ground finally dried out enough to get some chicken litter spread on the fields before the next rain due in this weekend. This litter comes from Arkansas and is trucked up here and dumped on the edge of my fields. We load it in the spreader and spread 2-3 ton/acre. The analysis is generally 50 - 60 units of nitrogen, 50 - 60 units of Phosphorous, and 60 - 70 units of Potassium/ton. There are many micronutrients, organic matter, and carbon also.

I hope you will show more of the grain operations I enjoy the content.

Thanks Dave. They don't get watched as much so I just thought everyone likes the sheep and goats. I'll be sure to put on some more of the grain operation for you then. Now I know there is at least one person that will watch it.

@@grandviewlivestock3936 I’m just a part time farmer in South Alabama but I really enjoy your content. I am definitely considering adding sheep and/or goats to my small cattle operation. I’ve learned a lot from your livestock video. But I’m really interested in seeing more of the grain operation. Thanks David
