'Whether you like it or not, the answer' is yes. The .problem is twice as bad if you have an open - top, tank. In any manure tank, there is always a certain amount that can't be completely removed. This includes sludge buildup and the last half foot or so that just can't b taken out because of" the design of the pump. One man in the business of custom manure hauling said that most tanks were left with an average of about one foot of manure, Another commonly overlooked robber is precipitation. • In a six month period we get about 18 inches of precipitation - whether in the form of rain or snow. This doesn't evaporate in the winter so you're left with that much less storage for manure. So, when figuring out your tank size, figure the size of tank you'll need based on manure production for at least six OFA requests meeting with Trudeau An emergency meeting with Canada's newly - elected Prime Minister has been requested by the Ontario Federation of Agriculture.
