Local septic pumper/hauler rents a small parcel from me each summer for disposal purposes. I get a few $ and the free fertilizer. For his trouble, he gets to be pushed around by the state and local health departments. For example, when he started, they had to come out and inspect the plot(s). Wanted two plots, that he could use alternate years. I suggested several plots, so I could incorporate used plot into crop rotation, and plant something in it, recovering the fertilizer. And as I explained to the "soil scientist" it would reduce the chances of buildup of heavy metals, etc. He looked at me like he thought I was crazy, but finally allowed as I might have a point. He's the one with the degree in "soil science," I'm the one with the degree in hard farming, (oh, and a degree in chemistry and science).
Well, now, they want soil samples of all the plots, new and used. NOW! OK, so in the last two weeks, we had a warm spell and over two inches of rain, since then, temperatures in the single digits, even negative single digits. Ground is wet and frozen down real good! Hauler is out there right now with a spud and a pick-axe trying to liberate soil samples. Couldn't wait till March, when soil starts getting a little soft! Probably they want them just so they can check off a bunch of little boxes on their stupid forms, so they can justify their existance...
