I hope I’m not laying it on too thick when I say that even spreading manure looks good on the Sparrow Farm fields in East Montpelier, VT. You’ve got the bright green autumn grass, the remains of fall foliage, the Worcester Range and Camels Hump in the distance, and the tractor and spreader from the McKnight Farm at work using a new piece of equipment that harrows the ground and spreads manure directly into the furrows. It’s designed to reduce runoff and deliver more nutrients to the soil.
