pumping the pits....

We have had some guys out pumping the manure pits.  I know it sounds like a really gross job.... well it kind of is!  But, it makes great fertilizer!  We know exactly how much it put on the fields!  We want to make sure each field has the right amount of nitrogen. Manure has an organic matter which you can't buy in fertilizers. 
we have the manure tested to see exactly what the levels are in it each time we pump the pit.
the thicker sand at the bottom gets spread
while the more liquid stuff gets pumped into tankers and then put on the fields.

 
The fields are plowed as quickly as possible after the manures is applied.  We don't want to loose any of the nutrients from the manure.
