Regenerative Farming: What to do with all this MANURE!

What happens here

With the drag harrow securely attached, operate the tractor, driving it systematically across the pasture. The movement of the tractor pulls the drag harrow, allowing its tines to engage with the ground and the manure piles. As the harrow passes over the concentrated manure, the tines break it apart and spread the material into smaller, more evenly distributed fragments. This process ensures that the nutrients are broadcast over a larger area, promoting healthier grass growth and encouraging more consistent grazing by livestock. The presenter briefly mentions having multiple harrows, including a larger 'batwing' model for a 110-horsepower tractor, indicating that the size of the equipment can be scaled to the size of the pasture.

Goal: Evenly distribute manure across the pasture to enhance soil health and grazing
