Slurry users?

[KingThx]

finally bought the integrel premium big ole slurry fert spreader. question is.... does the slurry get used super fast usually? That thing burns through 30k L in like a pass and a half on field 26 and its well empty b4 i get back with a reload. Just seems super in-efficient and labor intensive but is that the penalty for the fertilizer being "free"?

Its works just the same as real life , slurry is not just pure liquid so it cant be fine sprayed ,this means slurry spreaders have course spraying nosels and it is pumped out fast meaning multiple tanker loads are required to fertilize the field

Its just the same with solid manure ,a field requires multiple trailer loads to cover it correctly so you need to have lots in storage to do it properly

And yes because its a bye product of animals its free so you can either use it on your fields or sell it for profit

Selling it for profit can only happen to a point, though, because it is so cheap and the price collapses so quickly.

IMHO, there is little reason to use slurry in terms of pure economic game balance. It's good and fun for roleplay purposes, though, and for feeling better about being environmentally friendly and closing the nutrient loop on your farm.

If you have the slurry, there is little reason not to use it. Picking up the Garant field container and tanker improve greatly on efficiency, or you can change the option in the Game Settings for a helper to refill slurry from the pig or cow slurry tank. Buying digestate from the BGA is the least cost effective way to fertilize due to the amount of slurry needed for each field.

Slurry spreads whether it's over the field or off the field in a turn. The helper adjusts for this and will not waste the slurry. But if you have a 5 meter row at the end of the run, it will still spread slurry over 9 to 30 meters. With the Zunhammer tank and attaching the Zunhammer cultivator or the Amazone cultivator, the spread becomes 6 meters, and it will only spread over cultivated field.
