Video of a Nuhn Lagoon Crawler agitating a manure lagoon at Convoy Dairy Farm in Convoy Ohio. After the lagoon is agitating the video goes to the field to see the manure applicator in action.
We live about 10 minutes away from nuhns plant and it is pretty neat to drive by and see the fancy new (clean) crawlers and tanks sitting in the yard ready to be shipped out all over the world!!
As they say in Wisconsin. Welcome to Wisconsin come smell are derriere ( dairy air ) lol. I have never seen that type of agitator before. Thank you Mike. Liquid money.
You say manure and I say muhnurah, (you know the rest) it all smells like sh*t. My dad, being the farmer that he was always said it smelled like money. Cheers...
Thanks for another great and interesting video. How many cows do they have? With so much manure there should be a fair amount I guess. Will they put even more fertilizer on those fields later?
Absolutely fascinating. Talk about stirring the sh.. The sh.. has hit the fan. Boy, you're now in the .... etc. I love that trailing hose on the sprayer unit. This is ingenious. Time to wipe down the hose, son. You said you wanted to earn money.
Friends of ours do custom manure injecting here in Southern Manitoba, Canada and they have had one for 2 years already and just love it! There still looks brand new, they use a special spray on it before ever logon job, it’s awesome stuff! The machine is amazing!!
127,000 views. People, it helps Mike when we hit like when viewing his videos. Only 1,000 likes is not on par with that many views. Mike can get checks cut to him if we get enough likes on his content. I love your videos Mike! One of the best channels out here on farming I believe!
When I drive past a farm I gag from the smell of manure. I can’t even begin to imagine what this is like, and you can tell the wind is blowing right at them based on the blowing grass!
There is a very high chance that i assembled this machine. There are to places this one could have come from. A listowel Ontario or burr ontario and they dont ues the burr location that much any more and these machines cost around 45 to 50 thousand dolloars canadian. Glad to see the all over the country.
Cool vid. I'm not sure I'd be brave enough to fly my drone over an agitated manure lagoon. Or stand that close to a tractor with manure being pumped under pressure, just thinking of a the line popping. Yikes! That's also a serious amount of hose.
Very cool machines. However, there has to be a better way to distribute the manure rather than dragging a crap-covered hose attached to your tractor across hundreds of crap-covered acres?
Looks like good clean fun, but I have to wonder if in the long run it wouldn't be more cost effective to just capture the methane from the manure and sell it as fuel. I'm a generation removed from dairy farmers so I could be missing something but there's a couple mill in that video between the man-hours, the equipment and the land. I'd want to cover the pond and put in a small plant to process the gas into into usable energy.
Is the corn that's grown here only used for feed? I remember hearing that this can only be used for feed and not for consumption by people, something about first thru or second thru, can't remember.
Most of what is grown there is for feed I would think if it is grown for human consumption they would atleast compost the manure or gasify it to kill the bacteria in the manure
@@mattbruns239 The person who told me about the waste only being allowed for feed was was working at at sewage plant, he said that was after it had been thru the cleaner.
If this is operation i am thinking it is, it was built years ago and run by a Dutch family. I think the government gave them some incentive to come over here and start up. It only lasted a few years. Alot of them went broke. This one here i think is owned by a local business man with mostly Mexicans doing the work.
Mike, That's what we call a real "SHIT SHOW". I can imagine the stench (eau de fumier) ,from here and there and everywhere. I bet you put a full charge in the drone. Thanks, quite an interesting machine an process.
Only before emptying i think. If the lagoon is not agitated , the dry matter in the manure will sink and the water-part will come on top ; so you can never empty it completely , because you will first pump the water-part and the rest will not go into the hoses . If the lagoon is well mixed , every gallon of manure will have the same content on N, P and K ; and that is what you need for using it as a fertiliser.
No, a German company named buhler used to own them, but a Russian company named rostelmash owns them, all of the versatile tractors are made in Canada and the combines are made in Russia (dont know if that applies to the 2018 models)
Yes the 2018 tractors are still made at the original Versatile factory in Winnipeg Canada. The only tractor built in Russia is the 2375 Classic. These were made in Canada but since this was a simple Tier 3 tractor and can no longer be sold in North America they moved all the tooling to Russia for that model only. Versatile still sends a good number of Canada built models to Russia without all the emission stuff.
There not big is this country , just fat heads with empty wallets , treating there workers like crap , m9neys crap here 2 , last farm I worked on was 1300 cows , but the land was My good enough to accomadate them all
If this must be incorporated within 24 hours, looks like it’s going to be pretty darn wet for tillage. Why not inject it to begin with? I’m pretty sure the neighbors would appreciate it, also……..for obvious reasons‼️
Wow. Farmers would spend 160k on some dumb new trinket as opposed to paying a salary to people to move cows and never have the problem in the first place.
Kenneth Reimer 20,000 won't even get you a mile of 6 inch hose. Then you have to buy the hose ends and a cart to roll it up on. A 660 ft piece of drag hose is over 10,000.
I assume its pretty stinky out by the lagoon? If I had a dairy farm I'd like to have those manure digesters to help remove that smell that so many other people complain about. Just the life of a farmer. Don't like our shit go somewhere else....
