cbellfarms - 8/6/2018 17:36 Have been offered some hog manure that will be available in a year or 2 when barn is built. Barn will be 2.5-3.5 miles from my fields. How far can manure be pumped and applied with a dragline? Also what does the cost look like when pumping that far?
Im guessing its going to cost $.02 to .03 per gallon. Not hard to rack up a $100 bill per acre and you wont have a guaranteed analysis of what you have applied on every acre.
There is going to be a day around here when the manure is going to be such a liability that barn owners will have to help pay application costs of manure to get it out of their sheds. And this is something that few guys are currently thinking about. Whether it is government forcing it or not.
