The farmer should be envied in what they do. With all that expensive equipment to operate & maintain, seed and supplies and still provide for their own family and make a profit, probably barely a profit, amazes me.
I was stationed in West Germany in the early 70s and the local German farmer had some fields next to our base. The farmer would spread the liquid cow manure and urine on the fields when the winds blew towards our base. He apparently didn’t like Americans going back to WWII and boy did it stink. 😂
Back in the early 80s when I was farming we always planted red clover with spring grains. For winter wheat we use to mix it in with the nitrogen (Urea) when it was spread in the spring.
My mom was a pretty avid gardener and she would always water the lawn and her plants at sunset so that most of the water wouldn't evaporate in the heat. Is there a benefit to doing something similar with manure? Or, is the moisture content of manure not very valuable?
We were recommended to water just before sunrise to keep mold and mildew from forming in the moist dark environment. I guess there's two schools of though on watering. Maybe that's why I can't even grow weeds in my desert climate.

I wouldn't trade it for the world!

Haha that's an interesting tactic!

Nice. We used to do red clover, had trouble getting a good stand most years.

I see your farm grows rocks also. Good video.
Dad used to call the smell of fresh spread cow manure the "smell of money" 😁

Was wondering about smell issue even with disking?
You can still smell it a bit of a few days but way better than leaving it on top
