[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1145009, member: 20599"] We rent out some of our fields to a neighbor. He plants corn on some and hay on some. Part of our rent is X number of bales of hay (it usually is a mix of hay from our field and hay from his fields). He just cut hay and was disappointed with the volume, saying it was "thin" this year compared to last (on all fields he hays, not just ours). He wants to split the costs to spread manure on our hay fields in the hopes of better hay. Question 1: will spreading manure this year help with next summer's hay also, or is most of the benefit reaped in the first cutting or two after it's spread? Question 2: dunno where he's getting the manure. Would you have any concern about pathogens? We will turn our cows out on these fields this fall. Just don't know if there's any risk.... This newbie thanks you for your thoughts! [/QUOTE]
