Freezing Manure

   / Freezing Manure #11  
Pebble haulers use diesel fuel sprayed on the sides of the box to stop asphalt from sticking. I have a dump trailer and hauled a load for a friend of mine, He had a bug spray container with vegetable oil:thumbsup: and sprayed the box before we loaded. The load was frozen when we got to his place but slid out as a block.

I'm a small vegetable farmer hauling manure in a tow behind dump trailer. I am told the manure freezes and makes it difficult to dump in the winter. Any suggestions other than keep the trailer clean (like put something on the bottom before loading)?

If the trailer floor is in good condition it will easily scrape clean with a flat shovel.

Are you a certified organic vegetable farmer selling your products for consumption? If so, wouldn't the application of petroleum products or by products make your certification status invalid? I just thought to ask, since you didn't state whether or not in initial beginning.:)

The reason that I asked is because you had a post in regards to providing a CLEAN water source concerning an irrigation system.

I try to be organic but am not certified. I think spraying veg oil will do the trick. Clean water source meaning pickup with minimum sediment. Thanks

My wife just walked by, looked at the subject matter of this post, shook her head twice and walked down the hall. I think she really believes I am nuts.
