Spending Big $ On Manure!
I have found manure to buy and add to our farms soil! It turns out to be a large process to load, haul, dumb, load, haul, and spread onto our farm's fields. It took an entire weekend to make this happen, but the farm is in great need of soil building. At first, I felt over my head with everything that needed to happen to make this happen, but it may have turned out! Check out our latest episode and latest adventure here at Your Family Farmer!

    Good job getting that tractor out. Wet ground sure makes haying tough. Wet tires are always a bad sign but the sun and wind help a lot once you knock the hay down. We had to leave wet sections standing this year and go back to mow them at the end of July.

    The mound system is the most stupid idea ever. Some college educated little puke said this will work better. I've heard of mound systems freezing up because they're not below the frost line. Last thing I heard we get hard frost here in Minnesota.

    Be sure compost the waste left over at the feed site for a year before you spread that manure.

  • @Rollinghillsfarmsmn
    @Rollinghillsfarmsmn 3 месяца назад

    Good idea. We find it occasionally when we work up old fields and I think it’s seed left over in the ground from previous years and it sprouts when conditions are right. We battle it mechanically and feed it rather than burn it.
