What are the advantages and disadvantages of hauling manure daily?

Advantages:

• Only manure is hauled, not precipitation.
• Low investment in equipment
• The workload is distributed throughout the year.

Disadvantages:

• A separate management system is required for yard runoff and wastewater.
• Equipment life is shortened by corrosion, wetting and drying, and daily trips through mud and snow.
• Extra time for equipment maintenance.
• More time is required on a daily basis.
• Manure must be hauled regardless of weather conditions.
• Hauling on wet ground may increase soil compaction and rutting.
• The potential is great for pollution and loss of manure nutrients due to runoff, especially on sloping fields.
