Does that work out to just under a quart per square foot, or 0.09 inches of manure over 160 acres?

(quoted from post at 20:30:25 07/29/21) Does that work out to just under a quart per square foot, or 0.09 inches of manure over 160 acres?

10000 gallons = 800 cubic feet = 800 * 1728 / 43560 = 31.7355 cubic inches per sq ft.
31.7355 / 144 = 0.22038 inches in depth per square foot.
So the 160 acres would be completely covered to a depth of 0.22 inches.

I think

27154.28 gallons in an acre inch of water. 10,000 divided by 27154 = .36269 inch applied.

Do they send a pipe pig through the line to get the last of the manure out or just use air pressure?

Yes a 13 ball with air to clean the line out.

Saves wear and tear on rural roads.

Quotation mark doesn't work on classic anymore. Best you can do is use and apostrophe. That's a problem when trying indicate inches . Comes out as feet.

One inch of rain per acre equals 27,154 gallons. Mark.
