Hey Eddie,
I have 48 ton piled up in the field. In the morning I'll have the spreader brought over from my neighbor, it holds 8 ton, won't take long at 2.5 ton ac. Then in March, I'll do the same thing again. That will give the first application time to work. 5 ton per ac. is kind of pushing things, I'd rather split it up. I don't need to worry too much about snowmobiles, I don't think there are any around here, and the farm is posted. It is kinda like the dirt bikes, I can shoot the bikes, but not the rider legally once they cross posted land. To shoot the rider I have to give 3 notices that they are trespassing. We had a problem a few years ago with dirt bikes running thru the crops. My brother and I warned them a few times, they basically told us where to go. It was amazing how quickly that stopped once the dirt bikes started developing leaks in the engine, and they had to push them across the creek, and back home. My brother and I would just sit, watch, and grin, from beneath the old hickory tree.
Have a great day!!!
Andy
