Curious what you guys are paying for broiler litter this year, and whether it's priced by the load or by the cubic yard, or otherwise.
I just scored 50 loads, for $150 per load. The chicken house owner that I bought it from doesn't know how much is in a load. He only cares about getting his houses cleaned out, and he's priced it at what he can "get for it" (his words, not mine)
The spreader driver that I'm paying separately, says about 6 tons per load, depending on moisture content, but he doesn't charge for hauling by the ton or yard, just a load per loaded mile. He don't care how much it weighs.
The truck appears to have similar capacity to 12 yard dump trucks that I'm familiar with.
If it is indeed about 6 tons per load, this should be about right for 80 acres of new ground?
