DD into fresh turkey muck.

[Sprayer 1]

I have turkey muck to spread at 4 tonnes per acre and thought of drilling wheat straight into it with the SimTech tine drill to drill and cultivate all in one. I like to drill quite deep at about two and a half inches and roll after. Is there any danger of the muck burning the seed or emerging plant as it touches it? Any advice welcome as never had turkey muck before.

We direct drill cover crops (some with wheat and other cereals as part of the mix) direct into stubble + chopped straw + chicken muck. Chicken muck gets the crop off to a good start and have never had problems with scorch.
