[QUOTE="plumber_greg, post: 911333, member: 9115"] Yeah, John, that kind of tanning. It actually wasn't really sludge. It was the daily leftover from the process. We were on a rotation, and if you turned down the stuff, you missed out that year. They worked around the crop ground and tried to spread there in the winter and the pastures when crop were in the field, but they had to spread each day somewhere. If they left your farm, they wouldn't be back for that year. One year it was really muddy here and I had a road 50' wide going to all my pastures. On Mondays they would have about 7 or 8 dump truck loads to spread, the rest of the days, not counting Sunday, was around 5 or 6. They spread while the cows were grazing, and the whole area stunk for days. I used to tell Sara it smelled like money to me, and yesterday she admitted that it was money. I still feed on the areas where they dumped it to load the spreader, if it was muddy, they just told the truck drivers to haul enough rock that they could back in, didn't care how much, they had to spread. One year they had the spreader spread 2 ton of lime per acre on my back pasture, didn't cost me anything. Even if they poisioned me, it was still good deal. gs [/QUOTE]
