I can get 2 ton per acre of chicken liter delivered and spread for $20/acre and you can't touch that with any commercial fertilizer. I get mine tested each year then add whats missing and use liter later in the summer when we get rain.

If you put at least 200 pounds to the acre, the cost will be about $1200 total. It will vary of course if you put less per acre down. GMN
