Hog manure makes good fertilizer but it won't be free. We used hog manure on the farm I used to rent. The sheds were on the farm. All the fields were within 3 miles. They usually used tankers to haul the manure to the field. They did pull a hose a couple times. Their limit for pumping through the hose was 1 mile. Beyond that they either have to set up a second pump or haul the manure. Either way the manure is knifed in about 6-8 inches deep. It takes a big tractor (usually 300+ HP) to apply either way and a second tractor in the field to drag the hose if using a hose and one on the pump. Compaction can be a problem if field conditions are not right. And you may have to grid sample your fields to determine how much manure you can apply to avoid over-application. In Iowa soil sampling is required for commercial application of manure. The manure may or may not be free depending on supply and demand in your area. Even if the manure is free, you will have a substantial bill for application so you won't be getting free fertilizer.

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
