Cows Crops And a Scavenger®
spreader The three essentials for higher
productivity and a more successful
farm operation
Manure is money.
According to ag experts at the
University of Missouri, the average
dairy cow produces 70 pounds of
manure every day—up to 13 tons a
year Worth about $5 00/ton, that
equates to $65 00 per cow a year. If
you own a 60-head herd that’s almost
$4,000 of free fertilizer And in today’s
farm environment that adds up to big
savings
Scavenger—good to your
crops, good to you.
To get the most from your manure you
need a spreader to efficiently manage
