Storing Manure

Post by Old McGlenno »

I've never had cows before and I'm trying to figure out what my initial investment is going to be. One of the things I need to factor in will be what I'm going to do with the manure so i can figure in the cost of equipment. How do you all store your manure? I play on console (so no pc mods) and am running seasons. Thanks.

best to store manure will be to leave it in the manure bunker (where it spawn's). you do two things with manure use it as fertilizer of sell to the BGA make some money back and you will make dieigstate as a by product from that. Either you can sell it map dependent or use as fertilizer on the fields.

Or use a multifruit silo or place a multifruit silo extension next to youre existing silo and now you can dump the manure in the silo. Although this isnt a very realistic way, if thats what youre trying to achieve.

Yeah I didn't want to store it in a silo, but I am also not sure how realistic it is to just leave it in the pen area

One of the manure trading mods, I think can store it for you.

On Marwell you have to muck the barn out yourself, so I muck it out into tippers and dump in fields that I need to put manure down in. Usually in spring before planting and cultivating, or in fall after harvest. And then when I spread, I don’t have to make 15 trips to the barn. So, tractor, tipper, spreader, some type of loader.

And that is a quite realistic way, to haul it to the fields for storage. After harvest, and before planting that is.
I tend to haul it to a grass field close to other fields, if I don't have a compact farm with everything gathered around in one place. That way I can store for a longer period of time.
Just don't put it up against houses, as not everyone loves the smell of poo. 😂

Thanks. Is Marwell the only such map? I've always found it kind of troubling that the manure just shows up outside the pen.

On console, by the way.

This is probably the most realistic way of doing it, I know around here that is what they do in the spring, they'll haul it out to the grass fields and spread it when the ground dries up a bit.

So, what happens to manure produced during winter?
Also, if there's a big pile of manure on a field and it rains, wouldn't it get carried away?

You need a really heavy shower for that to happend.
And manure from the cattle during winter can be hauled to fields, so it's ready for spreading as soon as possible, so you can work it in before planting.

Witch means, you don't spread manure afther cultivating, though you can do it before plowing. Usually though, you plow in the fall, and spread and cultivate in the spring.
At least in this part of the world
