[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1833359, member: 25884"] Poultry litter here is sold by the ton. There are scores of poultry houses in the general area here. If you paid $25 a dump truck load I agree you made out like a bandit. We are paying $25-40 a ton, delivered... most are in walking floor trailers that have 30 ton or so..... Average load is around $900-1,000 for round figures. Since the price is more than right, you will mostly have a totally positive response. It will add organic matter and do a decent job of feeding the soil. You will get some weeds out of it... the only downside of poultry litter. Even composted litter will spread weeds into the fields. The pluses far outweigh the minuses. You will need to keep an eye on some soil tests; at least test after a year or 2.... phosphorous levels can get high from poultry litter.... [/QUOTE]
