It was essentially home-made and has a life expectancy of 40 years. Measuring 48 feet square, and 10 feet high, it will hold manure for ieven months before hauling will have to begin. A roof may yet be added by the Beilers a feature which is recommended by specialists in the Ex tension Service. Manure handling (Continued from Page 20) The storage area is built out of treated lumber and is rated to hold seven months worth of manure from his 50- cow herd. He’s using a skid loader and conventional spreader with tailgate to haul the manure onto his 150- acre farm. When finally completed, Beiler’s manure storage area will probably have a roof over it to prevent rain from getting in. It’s a * recommended procedure and he’s considering the idea. A home-made feature of the manure handling system are the fibreglass troughs which channel manure from the gutter cleaners in the bam down to the hydraulic ram chamber. “It’s much more slippery than metal,” commented Beiler about the custom alteration which was done by his nephew, Clair Beiler.
