[QUOTE="warksfarmer, post: 100412, member: 192"] I know but are all those 'goodies' worth: 1. tractor and baler traffic running every 7-9m up the swath 2. loadall running all over the shop grabbing bales 3. tractor and bale trailers 4. muck pile tipped in the corner of the field 5. loader compacting soil around the much pile 6. tractor and muck spreader running every 8-12m spreading muck 7. Uneven distribution of the muck because its not processed like compost or sewage cake On an arable farm with no livestock then its an awful lot of hassle compared to putting the chopper on. You can then still spread compost or fym if you want but you cut out points 1-3 which is a lot of traffic. If its a mixed farm then yes 100% agree and I would be in the field spreading gym as much as possible, but at the same time looking at the bigger picture as the livestock were the main earner, where as with arable farming its all about the soil and swapping muck for straw is not good for the soil in terms of damage to it.
