[QUOTE="robbie, post: 7336915, member: 7037"] I think its wrong to look at the cost for muck on a individual crop/ year basis. If you apply a single dose to one crop and put all the costs assosiated with the muck to that crop then its a non starter but if you have a long term view that muck is going to become a long term integral part of you farm and you can see beyond just the ££££ then it works. If you say the muck costs £60 acre for example, applied once ever three years through the rotation then thats £20 year/acre. I dont know of anything else i could spend that money on which will do as much good long term. Theres far more to muck than just nutrients and OM, regardless of soil type/location/farming policy it will make any land better. [/QUOTE]
