Gives a whole new meaning to fudge and chocolate milk. 😂 Over the years I've felt like chicken waste was worse than cow, especially when you had to go inside the spreader truck with a pressure washer. That's a whole new experience with smell. Unfortunately I have had a lot of experience with bad smells. I have nearly 30 years as a firefighter and medic. Bodies have a smell you can't unsmell. Just part of the job.
@@RockyMountainFarmer I heard it wrong but still 4k loads is an amazing amount. I use cow manure at home as well for 90% of my plants and it doesn't burn plants like hot chicken manure or others

the last house I lived in I had a Mexican family of 4 living next door, Let me tell you what, I could Never wish for better people for neighbors. Every time they had a cook out we got a knock on the door and Martine was there with a FULL plate of food, just because he could :) One day I got a call from my wife to come home, she was doing really bad and I ended up calling 911 to get her to the hospital. When I came home that night there was Martine at 9:00 at night mowing my yard. He came up to me, Hugged me and just wanted to know about my wife, I've never had better neighbors in my Entire life !!! Thank You Martine !!!

I like it when you show more outside not so much of you yourself I like seeing what you’re doing so I am the camera that way at what you’re doing that’s cool that way
Wow! That was a lot of video but I stuck through and glad I did!! I am super curious how this slop issue can be mitigated to help ya'll in the future. Looks like the dairy needs to get everything out so they can do a full rebuild of the whole system, weeping walls and all, for proper drainage and hopefully alleviate the issue by properly being able to drain the liquid away. Things don't last forever, especially in that environment. Look at seals for example. I wish you the best of luck!! Keep the great content coming!!
The long reach excavator looks like it has a relatively small bucket, could take a while to fill a truck, in comparison with the front wheel loaders with their huge capacity
@@RockyMountainFarmer Looking forward to seeing it in action. It will be interesting to hear the estimates of how much black gold you actually shifted once it's all done :)
That does work, but the problem is if it’s too liquid, it doesn’t even touch the beaters. It just runs out onto the ground and that doesn’t give you a good spread of manure.
@duanebolen543 but with the money 💰 saved on trucks, fuel, payroll, etc, they could BUY fertilizer. The point is that the uncle needs to make poop 💩 removal as easy as possible for everyone concerned. Having a lake of poo and pee is suboptimal.
Hey Rocker Mountain Farmer' I've been following the 'Farmers right to repair' movement and John Deere. Have you had any issues? I haven't paid a whole lot of attention to what equipment brand you use.
@@dougk5456 no we really haven’t had any problems. If it’s something that we are capable of fixing we usually fix it ourselves. The problem is most things nowadays you’re not able to fix yourself unless you have specialized equipment like a crane.
When I had cattle, I would always tell my wife that cow crap smells like money. I’ve spread chicken litter before and it smells worse than cow crap, but probably not as bad as rotten potatoes.
So why don't you recycle manure into the compost like western Idaho farmers do? I've driven by those dairies multiple times and they make the manure look like dirt...they run it through a machine before they spread it.. just wondering
Who knew. The amount of manure your cow produces naturally depends upon her size. Generally speaking, a 1000 pound cow will produce about 82 pounds of manure daily. Most cows are bigger than this. For example, a typical Holstein weighs about 1400 pounds, so she would produce about 115 pounds of manure daily. This adds up to about 21 tons of manure annually. No wonder those 🐄💩 are so big.
Yea pioneers had no shortage buffalo dung logs out on the prairie to keep them warm in the winter. Can you imagine cooking your beans on a cow pie fire. I ate some instant Idahorn potatoes for dinner tonight and they might have been from your farm. Got a 1 gallon of the dried flakes from Costco
So if we haul manure in the fall, we can plant potatoes in them the following year, but if we haul manure on a field in the spring, we cannot plant potatoes, so we plant wheat
Cow manure is bad enough but pigs 🐖 is worse and even worse than that is rotten potatoes. You will never understand how bad they smell until you have had to clean them up. Just driving by doesn't give you the full experience. Lol 😆 🤣 😂
And the worst that I know of is a truckload of feral billy goats passing through a rural town on their way to the pet food slaughter house. The high pong lingers for hours! It's as though they sense their doom and just let it all go.

I've never had to do that, but I hear the smell is bad.
Thank you for your videos and for getting
us caught up. Hope your manure hauling went
well for you all.
Thanks for watching and I am glad you enjoyed the video.
Holy crap literally, 40,000 loads of field fudge yearly. Nice to have a good working operation with the dairy.
Just 4000 loads 40,000 would be insane. It is nice to have.

They are definitely awesome people.
As someone once said to me as we passed a paper mill, "It smells like money to me."
It’s definitely excellent fertilizer

Manure is the very best fertilizer. I put in a chicken coop a couple years ago and I have doubled production in the garden. Seriously doubled.
Yeah it really helps the soil

Yeah, it does have less capacity and does take a little longer

A drinking game…where you do a shot everytime you hear “sloppy” or “sloppier”. God Speed everyone
That’s a good one
Do what I always did put soild next to end gate to stop liquid from runing out on ground ground
That does work, but the problem is if it’s too liquid, it doesn’t even touch the beaters. It just runs out onto the ground and that doesn’t give you a good spread of manure.
Your uncle could really have the use of a manure separator and slurry tank. Then manure would be dry and slurry hauled and spread with tanker trailers
Why spend the money? He has nephews who do it for free 😂
@@ManMountainMetals But the fuel and repairs arent free
@Leofred2000 the trucks and repairs are the responsibility of the nephews. Unless I am mistaken, and I usually am.
The money they save on fertilizer pays for manure they haul
@duanebolen543 but with the money 💰 saved on trucks, fuel, payroll, etc, they could BUY fertilizer. The point is that the uncle needs to make poop 💩 removal as easy as possible for everyone concerned. Having a lake of poo and pee is suboptimal.
I was waiting to see the "drag line" that turned out to NOT be a drag line at all! My father had a REAL drag line, and I ran it for many hours... SR
Oh that’s what they call it so that’s what we called it.
What is a drag line ?
Manure, the end of the beginning.🤔😂
It’s just a never ending cycle
Load up your side dump and pile it up in the field then spread it
That’s what they do all summer when they run out of storage.

How many days did it take to produce the manure that you have hauled and spread in this series of videos ?
Most of it was only 2 months. Except for what was in the back.
When I had cattle, I would always tell my wife that cow crap smells like money. I’ve spread chicken litter before and it smells worse than cow crap, but probably not as bad as rotten potatoes.
Yeah rotten potatoes are pretty bad.
So why don't you recycle manure into the compost like western Idaho farmers do? I've driven by those dairies multiple times and they make the manure look like dirt...they run it through a machine before they spread it.. just wondering
We have tried to get the dairy to do that but they say it’s too expensive.
How much does liquid spreader boxes cost?
I have no idea probably around 60000.
Be nice if you could harvest wheat chaff and mix that in.
We have mixed in straw before with some success.
Is that a manure pit that was allowed to dry up?
Yeah, the area in the back is where they dump the slop and let it dry
Do you pay for the manure hauling or the dairy pay you? Greetings from the island of Puerto Rico the shining star of the Caribbean 👍
Yeah, we do pay them a little bit. Hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
It was 72 here(CT) on Halloween
That sounds great.
That is a long arm excavator,Hitachi ex300.🇨🇦
Awesome I wasn’t sure.
your "scope" is called a transit
Oh nice I wasn’t sure
Have you ever heard the term "the smell of money" ?
Yes that is definitely true
this longer videos,.........
Glad you enjoyed it
we have a 10,000 plus Dairy head that is not too far from us I wonder how much manure they got
They probably have quite a bit I would guess
Why don't you fix the endgates or get a tank sprader that made for sloppy manure
Well, the main reason is is the sloppy stuff does not spread as well, so we would rather just make it solid enough to spread
Who knew.
The amount of manure your cow produces naturally depends upon her size. Generally speaking, a 1000 pound cow will produce about 82 pounds of manure daily. Most cows are bigger than this. For example, a typical Holstein weighs about 1400 pounds, so she would produce about 115 pounds of manure daily. This adds up to about 21 tons of manure annually.
No wonder those 🐄💩 are so big.
That’s crazy I never knew that. I would definitely be why there’s a lot of manure.
Yea pioneers had no shortage buffalo dung logs out on the prairie to keep them warm in the winter. Can you imagine cooking your beans on a cow pie fire. I ate some instant Idahorn potatoes for dinner tonight and they might have been from your farm. Got a 1 gallon of the dried flakes from Costco
Do you pay for the manure or do they pay you to haul the manure or neither
We pay a little for it
Now I know the reason the potatoes are the size of a 1/2 gal of milk,,sht and lots of it
Well, you’re not wrong it definitely helps
You selling any alfalfa hay. I work for a large exporter
No we sell it all to the dairy.
@ rats
Do you mean a transit
Yes I wasn’t sure what it was called
So the fields with 💩 can't be planted in potatoes. Are they just hay fields for a year, or do you raise wheat or corn or 🤔
So if we haul manure in the fall, we can plant potatoes in them the following year, but if we haul manure on a field in the spring, we cannot plant potatoes, so we plant wheat
Hi mate how many tons per acre do you spread of cow shit
Somewhere around 20 tons
What do you use to clean your equipment after hauling manure?
We just use a pressure washer to spray them off.
Ever tried an excavator?
Are you paying for manure?
Yes we are
@@RockyMountainFarmer how much are you paying for shit.
Cow manure is bad enough but pigs 🐖 is worse and even worse than that is rotten potatoes. You will never understand how bad they smell until you have had to clean them up. Just driving by doesn't give you the full experience. Lol 😆 🤣 😂
Yeah, I think the worst smell I’ve ever smelled is rotten potatoes
And the worst that I know of is a truckload of feral billy goats passing through a rural town on their way to the pet food slaughter house. The high pong lingers for hours! It's as though they sense their doom and just let it all go.
Nasty stuff, rotten potatoes. 🤮
Yeah that was horrible
I don't want to bust you out on dairies but you weren't even close to anything you said to being right most of it didn't make much sense
Not really sure what you’re referring to but thanks for watching anyway
