Manure is spread on fields primarily for its beneficial effects on soil fertility and crop growth.
Nutrient enrichment: Manure contains essential nutrients like nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), which are vital for plant growth. By spreading manure on fields, these nutrients are returned to the soil, replenishing nutrient levels and supporting healthy plant life.
Waste recycling: Manure is a byproduct of livestock farming and presents an opportunity to recycle animal waste. Instead of allowing manure to accumulate and potentially pollute water sources, spreading it on fields enables proper waste management and reduces environmental impacts.
Sustainable approach: Using manure as a natural fertilizer aligns with sustainable farming practices. It reduces reliance on synthetic fertilizers, which can have negative environmental consequences when misused or overused. Manure application helps minimize nutrient runoff and promotes long-term soil health and productivity.
It's important to note that proper manure management practices, including careful application timing and rates, are crucial to avoid potential issues such as nutrient imbalances, odors, and water pollution. Regulations and guidelines exist to ensure responsible manure spreading for optimal agricultural and environmental outcomes

awesome video as always, manure is gold for every farmer. That manure spreader for the thick stuff is manufactured by the Swiss company Gafner they have been around since around the 80s

The foot and I like this video, it's cool that the farm is organic and it makes sense, being modernized makes it more efficient and I wish all of you success, Cheers

Danke für deine Einblicke😀

Great video. Farming in Switzerland is lots different than Wisconsin ( America's dairyland)

I appreciate that they still allow the manure and bedding to accumulate and compost in the barn throughout the winter. This adds warmth as it starts to compost giving the cows soft self heating beds. I have found that this technique is largely lost here in the US.

from regular people manure is trash for farmers is gold :)) I a in some zootehnic schedule to improve ecologic farming so i understand the value of manure slurry and regenerate of soil

[@rjung_ch]

Thanks for showing me that part of Switzerland. Will you continue talking about the sheep and protection or was it this with Alibaba and Fly? Lots of Mist alright! 👍💪✌

I wonder how organic non oils free of everything is going to feeds the whole world.
