Do you truck it in in walking floor trailers and dump it in the field you'll spread on? Do you spread it or buy it spread?

Anyone priced nitrogen yet? Wow.

At present, the pig effluent is still considered waste and not charged to the cattle herd, it will be interesting to see how this will increase the margins for the pigs when we begin to calculate the total fertiliser value of the manure instead of paying to dispose of it on the Bermuda sprayfields.
Utilising the methane will also offset the rising corn costs.

We buy it delivered to the pastures,then we have an old lime truck we spread it with. we get along real good like that unless there's some dead chickens in it. They tend to plug up the gate. It almost always comes in walking floors 24 or25 ton to the load. What we really like is to catch some of the boys hauling grain down to Springdale and get some back hauls.
