Manure! I hate manure!
What a sh*tty business he got himself into.
This just makes me sad, he had a horrible childhood. Bad choices are making his adulthood the same. Some people never stand a chance.
Up Sh*t Creek Deeper than James Comey.
My wife and I raise beef cattle on our farm in rural Florida. 30 head of Angus beef.
Next door is a dairy farm. 600 milk cows.
We both wear Muck boots when we work outside with cows. It is not by accident that they are called "muck" boots.
Manure is everywhere. Manure means dollar signs for the dairy and our farm.
Because without the manure, there would be no cows. And without any cows, our livelihoods would be in peril.
So, Edna Mode, some people like yourself may have the luxury to hate manure but to us, it is the sweet smell of money in the bank that we smell. :-)
He’s in deep s*** now!
My husband worked for a large cattle feeding operation years ago and that is what the man that owned it would say to people who commented on the smell. He said he didn’t smell anything but money when he was at the yards.
I recognize that is your husband’s livelyhood, but here in the Yakima Valley it stills smells like shit. At one time we had over 60,000 dairy cows and feedlot cattle in a very small area. The air would be so thick that you could see the cloud of dust and vapors just hanging low over the valley.
The problem is these farms never had a manure management plan and just allowed it to build up. So their current 0kans are to liquefy it and spread it on their crop fields ir spread the dry matter. That gets really intense but only for a few days.
This was a small family operation back in the day...considered large at the time though. They had no issue then with manure management because people wanted that manure for fertilizer for their yards, gardens, and small farms. When the pens were cleaned and it was piled up at the edge of the pens every Saturday morning early people would start lining up with their pickups to haul it away. The feed yard charged people a couple bucks a pickup load and that paid the kid that helped them load it.
Before the big boys got into agriculture and people still did their own yard work, had gardens, and small farms those problems solved themselves. When feed yards became huge corporate business my husband began referring to them as a bovine penitentiary and started working on cattle ranches.
Corporate farming feeds a lot of people, but the process is not so good, not sure what the answer is. The old ways were better in a lot of ways though.
Agreed.
