Real common here since fertilizer got unbelievably high a few years ago. I always heard that ammonia fertilizer went up and down with natural gas prices, but that proved to be untrue. It did not come back down near as much as the natural gas ratio would dictate. You will see piles of chicken schit everywhere. The farmers also like the soil building that the manure does compared to pellet fertilizer. Most farmers here had never used manure before the big price hike as they were too young, but I can remember when near all fertilizer used was manure. Of course the crops were not making near what they do now for lots of reasons, but we did not have the fertilizer available like today. One thing about these modern farmers, they are on top of how to increase yields. Too bad they will not slow down the combine and quit running so much out the back. Get a rain on a cut corn field and it is unbelievable how much grain is out there. It sprouts and you can really see it. miles
