[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 7336727, member: 166"] Not one I agreed with! From my own analysis of well rotted FYM the NPK value was £4/t spread, not allowing anything for P and K taken off the field in the first place (I was looking at buying in there muck but not supplying any straw). What is harder to value; The contribution to soil organic matter and future yields How much of the N, P, K, and to a lesser extent, Ca and Mg is actually available to the following crop. Manure analysis is very variable and how it is treated afterwards (delay before incorporation, turning/composting the heaps) Damage done by the trailers & spreaders Lost timeliness if either baling or spreading are delayed - can be significant if it delays osr establishment Soil compaction by balers, loaders & trailers Change in slug levels for not chopping the straw - relevant to oilseed rape establishment Whose expense is the haulage, spreading, baling, stacking? Haulage can make muck very expensive. IIRC the general conclusions were for both parties to feel they were benefitting which helps build a good relationship. [/QUOTE]
