You're damn right about manure. Spreading manure should be done between nice dry days in spring thru the end of september. It's when it's chemical value (as well as it's micro bacterial value) are at their best. Especially with solid manure like what you got on the farm. The true value of manure doesn't stop to a lab analysis. Is waaaaay better than any fertilizers you can spread on the soil. It's ALIVE !

Stuff like this will happen to people when they disagree with somebody who believes that "identifies with" is good enough to determine the gender of those with dysphoria. Now I'm watching that circle doing it's thing indicating I can't edit and overwrite it. It will say it's been deleted by a pop up but there on my screen it sits. So, I'm taking screen shots to post elsewhere if it becomes a problem. Thanking you in advance. I gave you a thumbs up when I read your post without seeing Pete for the first time today.

here's a question for ya Pete !!! why not get a bigger bucket for the tractor ? I was really supprised at how much quicker I could get the job done when switching from a smaller bucket to a bigger one... and I am sure that would be the same for you.... filling the manure spreader with 3 buckets or 4 would sure be better than the 8 to 10 that you normally have to do...

Watching you and Hillary cleaning enclosures reminds me of cleaning calf pens with my sister (6 (me) and 9) every Saturday from late fall to spring - we had to get it done by 5:00 pm so we could watch Bugs Bunny before dinner/supper. Dad had to empty the wheelbarrow. We had chickens for eggs and around 30 milking cow for butterfat/cream and pigs that just ate skim milk and barley/oats chop all winter. I also remember my dad had a waiting list for people/ friends that wanted the pork from the slaughter which we did on the farm. My parents had to give up farming due to health issues when I was 10 ish. Thanks for bring up some fond memories. I have made friends with former market gardener and volunteer there year round (5 acres). I will keep going into my seventies.

The winning bit of wisdom today. 1. Recognizing how some farms have gutters with right angle steel attatched to a chain that moves it out of a barn into your Honey wagon there. In a setting where a farmer had heifers in an old dairy barn they had to shovel it out first and then reload it back into the gutter. You're spot on about when to put that on the fields though. That same farmer would put it into a pile in a low unused area that must have been a gravel pit some decades before. A years seasons later I mixed that stuff 50/50 with sand. Anything would grown in that. 2. Real men don't need heated seats. That was cuter than a bug's ear.
