Morning folks, I haven't posted in quite some time. By the grace of God and some answered prayers my wife finally moved from afternoons to a daytime higher paying job. Needless to say spending evenings on YT just don't happen much anymore with Mom home at night with me and the kids. New income in the house and a change in insurance is going to net us some good future money for some iron! Question of the day though involves cow manure and pricing. I'm going to try a large garden expansion this year and called a local contractor for some pricing on delivered cow manure. Quoted $22.50/yard delivered + 20 dollar surcharge for delivery over ten miles. Now I understand the delivery charges and trucking-insurance-ect ect is expensive. What I don't understand (please forgive the ignorance)is the product. I realize it's returned in many cases to the farm as fertilizer what's the worth of that in your area per cubic yard? Do any of you folks typically sell it? Finally, If I haul it myself and a farmer loads for me what's a fair offer per yard for me to come and get it? Thanks, Tom B.
