Nebraska
I will disagree with others who are saying it’ll take several years to heal and not be worth it.

My opinion is if it’s done right you should give him the dirt and he does all the work and gives you the manure. As much as you need to build it back up properly. Several spots I have shortened hills and filled other areas were much better than before within two years. Farmed better and yielded better other than the first year. The key was plenty of manure for two years on the scraped ground. Needs blackened and plastered thick. If it’s taking five years to be better than you started you didn’t get enough manure back out there. Or didn’t move your dirt well.

This sounds like a mutually beneficial situation especially if he’s willing to spread some on other thin areas of your field as well. Let him have at it as long as he knows that if there’s a yield drag afterwards he’s responsible for plastering it again.
