  • Chicken litter trucks start hauling litter for the 2024 crop and some of our neighbors are not happy about it. Erin gets excited about a new piece of equipment to move rolls this cotton harvest. A new cotton bale mover by SMFab arrives. Eric and Tommy pile litter and prepare the sunflower field for the big dove hunt on opening day.

    Neighbors that don't like farms should not live next to one. Lot of advantages to litter as fertilizer. And lot of advantages to neighbors that get along with neighboring farmers.

    My father loved to hand plant corn in his garden. We also raised about 20 chickens so we had plenty of chicken poop. He would put 3 seeds in the hole and then a scoop of chicken shit on top if that. Had the best corn on the cob all summer long.😊

    One way to get neighbor is to get someone with liquid hog manure and spread near them, and when they complain about ,say i changed and you still not happy , then say if they pay for all fertiilizer for all you land , you will stop using manures

    Everybody wants cheap food, but nobody wants to smell it being produced (I know, what cheap food nowadays, right?). Years ago I worked as a mechanic (also farmed with my dad for a while) for an implement dealer, one customer had a piece of ground next to a new development; wasn't long before they were not allowed to do field work after dark and before sunrise on that plot. Next somebody from the development was driving T-posts a few inches in the ground next to the cornstalks to wreak havoc with the cornhead, also driving short ones in the ground to puncture tires; $1000 a piece at the time. Another customer, who's family had been finishing beef cattle for a couple of generations had a retired postal worker build a new house downwind from the barns and lots, then sued them because the manure stank and drew flies. They settled for $50000, it was cheaper than fighting it in court. The new house was $280,000 at the time, and the customer had just invested close to a million for manure handling equipment. Then the city folk wonder why their country neighbors don't like them.

      The dairies in SoCal got run out by the SoCal air pollution regulations.
      Numerous air quality tests showed the "shitdirt" (yes,one word) blowing off the mega dry lot dairies was the single biggest contributor to terrible air quality in SoCal.
      Then the water quality board went after the cheese processors whose effluent was sky high on the oxygen deficient scale. Discharge from the processors just sucked the oxygen out of local waterways and killed fish and vegetation.
      Cheese processors had to start refusing tankers of milk because their daily/weekly effluent quotas were exceeded

    When I drove UK tractor units, I was taught to always do a forward tug test when hooking up to a trailer, before doing anything else. I'm told it's very embarrassing to drop a trailer on its knees after winding the legs and pulling away. Nice looking rig and trailer you got there.
    Strange how townies move to the country, then complain about the smells, farmers working into the night to get the harvest after waiting for the sun to burn the dew off.

    Just watching this is enough to imagine the fertilizer smell like it's coming from next door! But I wouldn't dream of complaining or making a big stink (sorry, couldn't pass up a chance at a bar joke!) about the smell. It's just part of life, Deal! people love the food, but think it pops out of the ground ready to eat in a frozen plastic bag or a can. Anything unpleasant that interfere's with their little world, even out in farm country, and on someone else's land, it's still unacceptable! (I guess it's their world, we just live in it!) LOL

    The only thing I know that is stinkier than chicken litter is turkey litter. You are hauling it in for 2024 so it can ferment until after harvest. That neighbor probably lives square downwind. I've seen RV parks and motel put clean out of business with the chicken barn a full mile away. Yep. The year before and the year before that. He is just getting dang tired of it. You've got a nice flat area up there behind your house. Use that. Easy access, Good storage spot and it will get him off your back.
