liquid manure

Anonymous-0 · Oct 24, 2009

Nice heavy fog today and the town smells real rosie....... Diarrea tanks are out in force. Do any of you spread manure this way? Everything is collected in a big tank with varying degrees of sophistication then sucked out into big tanks that either are pressurized or just granity flow and spread/sprayed on the fields. Probably not much different than the municipal waste some of you mentioned but this is only barn waste. If someone gets caught running a toilet into the tank, it can get real costly.

In So.IL most guys inject the liquid manure. More hog farmers inject than the dairies. Injecting takes almost all the odor away and saves the N which is readily lost if it is left on the top.

Most are trying to get away from the tanks and use a drag line. Save money, time, fuel, and the roads. Kinda pricey to set up but is worth it in the long run.

A fellow wanted to upgrade his dairy to grade A so he had the inspector come out and tell him what changes need to make to get certified. Inspector said you need to white wash the barn walls and make the doors wider, clean up that wood pile and what is that little building setting rite next to barn? Farmer answered that is the out house. Inspector said you need to move that farther from the barn. I'll be back in a week to certify you grade A. Week later inspector comes back and sees all work completed. Checks everything ok and asks farmer where he moved the out house? Farmer tells him look way out yonder in the back corner of that 40 acres. Inspector says I didn't mean you had to move it that far. Farmer says it doesn't matter we don't use it anyway. We always just go in the gutter.

Ya, a local dairy around here spreads it that way. They put all the manure from the daily cleaning into a AO Smith Slurrystore, theN in the fall the pump it out and spread it. When they break the crust and mix it in the tank it also stinks.J

You bet you would be in trouble and do not want to pee in the gutter. They say that is cross species contamination.

We do custom liquid manure hauling with semis and surface apply it on the field. The farmer is right behind us working it in. We have 100,000 head of dairy cattle and replacements in our county alone.

In-laws spread all around our house and I help any chance I get. Somehow I've ranked high enough to have a tractor with a cab and radio the past couple of times. Have to be careful because the sloshing load will push you around on corners. We just don't open the windows to the house for a week or so. And definitely don't hang out laundry! Nothing like a face full of, well, you know what smell when you grab what is supposed to be a "clean" towel.

Its fun to watch manure tech. Dry to liquid tanks. The nozzles went to splash plates, then came knives now the dribble tubes.

Apparently in the UK the umbilical system was popular but it has fallen out of favour for big tankers at roadside and smaller tanks in the field.

The drizzle tubes save almost as much N as the knives but reduce the drawbar loads and are a lot less complicated.
