According to some “experts” here on FR, they can sub cow sh*t for fertilizers!

Yes sir..there are really stupid people on this forum.

Depending on where the farm is..for 200 BU corn it will take up to 200 pounds per acre of Nitrogen to produce that corn.

Yes, there are areas where it will require as little as 50 to 60 pounds per acre. That does not include the other fertilizers OR herbicides OR insecticides.

For them you see..you just work up the ground and plant the seed in there and stand back and watch the stalks grow right on up to the sky!

I had one tell me today that this is just a scam to get more subsidies.

One ton of cow manure contains approximately
12 pounds of nitrogen (not all immediately available).
Yeah, do the math...
We are gonna need a whole bunch more cows.

Well that’s what the fugly Samantha Powers said, and she’s an expert because she’s flown over countless farms at 35,000 feet. She also seem well-acquainted with bulls#it, which is closely related.

all of the morons advocating for manure and compost fail to account for the fact that said manure and compost originate from animals and crops fed to animals grown with SYNTHETIC fertilizer in the first place ... no synthetic fertilizer, no crops, no crops no animal manure ....
