Just another thought on the herbicide/fertilizer debate. Have any of you tried to grow a plant in cow manure that the animals grazed on fields sprayed?

I haven’t. I wouldn’t even know where to buy it, but there isn’t many feedlots around MS Delta. You did just give me a thought though.

Companies that get the grease from restaurants have to cook that grease to get the water out of it. I was told it was extremely fertile and the government demands that they get rid of it.

If there is a local grease company around you, you might can call them and work out a deal for them to spray it on your land and get paid for it. There are regulations that would have to be met first. If you have pasture land/haying operation it might work great for you.

I will say that I don’t know a bunch about this crap. I just know they are required to get rid of it and usually have to “lease” the land where they spray it. It might be that you can’t graze it for a couple days or it might not be. You made me think of a conversation I had with an owner a few years back because he was complaining about having to pay people to get rid of “fertilizer” when people should be paying him for it, and he was even having to pay someone to bush hog it down. I could see how a deal could be made with a “win win” outcome.
