So, How Much Poop is That? — A Farm Wife
Spring is coming, so they say. In the meantime we have manure to haul and a whole lot of it.
One of our Slurrystores holds 2.3 million gallons of manure. The girls have been busy all winter filling it.
It’s hard for me to understand what 2.3 million is.
How the Milking System Works
The milking system is divided into the milking side and the pulsator side. When the system is turned on, vacuum is created everywhere by a vacuum pump that removes air from the system. When the cows are not attached to the milking system, the vacuum created will be the same on both the milking side and the pulsator side of the system. When the cows are attached to the milking system by the milking claws, milk and vacuum are present on the milking side.
