Sounds like you want to take it off the field, maybe to reduce residue for notill, then put it back? Alot of work, but if it gets your yield up, improves soil, and reduces tillage cost but transfers it to hauling spreading, might be a good thing.

So in citrus, we used to haul in urban plant debris by the truckloads and make long windrows, basically a line just like they came out of the live bottom trailer. Your material is way better than that. Add nitrogen, and their are optimum temps you would want to watch for, and would need to mix it. You shouldn't spread on nearly as much as you haul off, and could even build particular soils.
