WHOLLY CRAP!!! WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO WITH ALL THIS POO!!!!

What happens here

The video begins with the farmer standing next to a large pile of manure and a Bobcat skid-steer loader. He explains that the objective is to aerate the 'manure mountain' to introduce more oxygen, which will speed up the composting process. He notes that the manure isn't fully composted yet and would be too hot for a garden, potentially killing plants due to high nitrogen content. He anticipates seeing steam rise from the pile as he turns it, indicating active composting. He also briefly mentions future plans for spreading hay bales in a field.

Goal: The farmer introduces the main goal of the day: turning a large manure pile to re-aerate it, which is essential for proper composting. He highlights that unprocessed manure is too 'hot' for plants due to high nitrogen and explains the need for oxygen to break it down. A Bobcat skid-steer loader is presented as the primary tool for this task.
