D,
sounds awesome you lucky dog. The manure sounds like a dream. Not sure
what the manure situation is but if you have to get it when the gettings
good then go for it,... if you can leave it in the barn till a dry period
thats good too .....sound like the manure is old and probably can be
applied anytime. Driving on wet ground isn't the best........but its also
not the end of the world MB
