Central Iowa | I've got a hog site w/a 1.5m gallon slurry store. These past few years of drier weather have confirmed the obvious, less water to haul with higher nutrient value per gallon of manure. Assuming more normal rainfall going forward, it would be great if there would be a way to cover this tank to minimize rain water. I'm guessing we add close to 250,000 gallons of water that doesnt evaporate. That's based on 10 year history and the past 2 drier years.
Looking online, i see a lot of info on covers being put on in Europe but not much here in the states. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with these. There is some funding available via EQIP for covers/roofs on manure storage so thinking between that and hauling savings, it would be a beneficial return.
