Just a guess - With all the rock outcroppings and wind turbines, you're scratchin' dirt in Rock County, S of Pipestone, home of Langes Cafe. Have eaten many meals there. My family originated near Ward. Grew up and farmed near Madison, SD. My niece and her family (Pohlman) farm near Jackson.
Years ago a neighbor got lost spreading manure when the snowstorm became a whiteout. Tried to drive straight ahead and made it to the fenceline and followed it all the way around the quarter section until he found the buildings.
worked at a 1200 cow dairy northern mn they had me clean manure pit below zero temps jd8100 & gehl scavenger side slinger spreader because sand bedding the cat payloader kept gelling up gehl spreader has tubeless floatation tires that dont like being overloaded had flat tires daily until the job was done manure pit has clay sides bowling ball size rocks rolling down into payloader bucket/spreader AT NIGHT so busted half dozen+ shear bolts that week i don't miss it they paid $12/hr (before deductions) funny how farm simulator games don't show that
Sorry, but i dont understand this? What a waste of that manure! When the snow melts, all the nutrition should go away? And the oxygen goes right up in the air! If we in Sweden were to spread manure in the months of November- March, we would get a big fine💸💸💸💸
We don’t have enough time to spread all the manure once the ground is thawed out, that would be the most ideal time to do it, when hauling in the winter the ground is frozen so there is no compaction, we try to stay away from the washout areas, 1/2 of what I was hauling was mostly water, we had to haul it or else the cattle would be standing in it until the manure froze, at witch case a lot would freeze on the cattle’s feet
@MinnesotaDairyFarmer seems silly to run with out it , i take it you dont run your equipment with too much pride or take pride in ownership? 100hours is long enoug in my opinion to not have it on. I know your going to say well its got to come off anyways but really are you saving that much time?
Thanks for keeping my family fed❤

The joys of winter! I sure hope this big storm they say is coming isn’t as bad as they are predicting.
Be safe sir!
Just found your channel and gave you a sub. Nice video 👍👍
Good video
shitty day when the wind changes direction while spreading
Work never ends on the farm. Watch yourselves with this weather bomb.
Thank you I enjoyed the video. How many cows do you have? I just started watching your channel. Do you milk cows too?
We milk 430, 500 total, we fill in here and there
