    When I was a kid we would take family trips from western New York to western Maryland to visit family and would take the 219 south through Pennsylvania. Whenever we drove by a farm that had recently spread manure I would complain about the smell and my Dad would always say "That's fresh country air. It's good for you." And wouldn't let me roll the window up. I got over it and now I say the same to my kids. 😂

    Looks like the drip application is the way to go, and it doesn't appear to have a lot of overlap. There is a UA-camr, Rose on the Farm, whose family business is farming and spreading manure for other farmers in Minnesota and Iowa mostly. It is a pretty interesting process. Using the manure spread for bedding seems a good idea also, nice and even distribution. Thank you for sharing.

  • @tucobenedicto109
    @tucobenedicto109 Рік тому +1

    Tom pemberton switched to a dribble bar similar with his tanker due to regulations. It is more eviormentaly friendly, less amonia in the air, more nutirents in the ground. That was smart and efficient. When you said dragline i was waiting to see a bucyrus crane, and dragline bucket and had no clue it was for maure spreading. :) LOL
    Tom and the Ginger warrior noticed a huge bump in the grasses. Wishing you a plentiful grass crop, and corm crop.

    Draglining is a great way to spread manure. Especially if you have a load of fields close to eachother. Here in our area in the Netherlands they have been doin it for over 20 years.

  • @Dairyland-Dairyman
    @Dairyland-Dairyman Рік тому

    We get a custom pumper with a dragline to do our manure. (Actually worked for him a few years too.)
    Takes a little bit to set up, but once you get pumping you can sure move a lot of manure. Longest push I remember doing was about seven miles from a customers farm to a large track of land they rented. Ran the hose along the ditch, through culverts, and the neighbors let us go across their fields. Think we had three booster pumps in line to keep it moving. Took a good day to setup. Don't know if it would have been cheaper to haul it over on the semis and dump in the fractank? But we were short handed on help that year so maybe that's why we did it, only took three guys to set up and run. One in the tractor, one at the pit agitating and running the lead pump, and one riding four wheeler checking hose and watching the booster pumps. They can all be shut down remotely by the guy in the field tractor too if something happens.
