Soil Health and Manure
Analyzing manure is a key element to soil health. Research and field observations have demonstrated that carefully managed manure applications can contribute to improved soil quality. Greenfield Application makes sure all the key ingredients are right for your agricultural system to sustain healthy soil year over year.
The TRUE Origin Of SHIT - Ship High In Transit
Shipping Manure
Historical information you need to know about shipping manure: In the16th and 17th centuries, everything had to be transported by ship. It was also before commercial fertilizer's invention, so large shipments of manure were common. It was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot less than when wet. Once water (at
sea) hit it, however, it not only became heavier, but the process of fermentation began again, a by-product of which is methane gas.
Since the stuff was stored below decks in bundles, you can see what could (and did) happen. Methane began to build up below decks and the first time someone came below at night with a lantern, BOOOOOM!
Several ships were destroyed in this manner before it was determined just what was happening. After that, the bundles of manure were always stamped with the term, "Ship High In Transit," on them which meant the sailors should stow it high enough off the lower decks so that any water that came into the hold would not touch this volatile cargo and start the production of methane.
Thus evolved the term "S.H.I.T.," which has come down through the centuries and is, you may have noticed, in use to this very day.
S.H.I.T happens! Let's make something of it!
