Manure Pumping and Hauling Websites: Can You Take This Job After Harvest?

Do you take liquid manure pumping, solid spreading or both?

Name the manure jobs you book. Liquid manure application and solid manure spreading need their own service descriptions. If you offer pit agitation, say whether it's included with pumping or booked separately.

Explain whether you haul and apply the manure or just handle one part. A farmer with a pit needs a different answer from someone with a solid stockpile. Separate choices on your request form make that clear before they call.

Can you use a dragline here, or will you bring tankers?

If you offer dragline manure pumping, show what you need to check before accepting the job. Say how far from the pit your hose can reach. Ask for the pit and field locations, plus the entrances you'd use. Say who comes out to look at access.

A tanker job can have its own request option. Let the farmer describe the haul distance and field entrances. Explain when you settle the equipment choice and what the visit includes.

How far do your manure hauling crews travel?

A farmer who types "manure hauling near me" wants to know if you reach their farm. Name your towns, counties or working radius. Say whether you quote trips beyond that area and how to ask.

If you work across North Dakota and western Minnesota, show which jobs you take on each side. Put the booking number next to those details. The field location belongs in the first message, along with the farm contact.

When should I book manure application after harvest?

Tell the farmer how early you take fall bookings and when you set a date. Ask when their fields will be available. If you have separate crews for liquid and solid work, explain how each is booked.

Say what happens if the crop is still standing when the planned date arrives. Explain who calls about a change and how you pick the next date. Give spring callers their own booking instructions if you take spring work.

What changes custom manure hauling rates and spreading cost per acre?

A farmer wants to know what your quote covers. Explain whether you charge by acre, load, volume, hour or a flat job price. Name the setup, travel, agitation, hauling and application work included.

Ask for the field acreage, manure amount if known and distance from storage to the fields. Say how you check those details before quoting. Explain how extra hauling or another visit changes the agreed bill.

Who handles the manure plan, field maps and application records?

Say whether you prepare the plan, work from the farmer's plan or coordinate with their agronomist. Say which field maps and test results you need before the job. Name the person who settles questions about the planned work.

Show an example of the record you give the farmer. Put its delivery date and a contact for another copy beside it. If you provide an application map, show its format and say when it arrives.

For Minnesota jobs, link the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's manure guidance and the record-keeping rule beside your record example. Your page should say which records your office sends and what the farmer handles.

For North Dakota farms with a permit question, link the Department of Environmental Quality's livestock page.

Where can a farmer check your manure hauling license?

For Minnesota work, put your Commercial Animal Waste Technician (CAWT) company name and license number on the page. Link the Minnesota Department of Agriculture's license lookup next to it. A farmer can search it by license number or name.

The farmer should know which company they're booking and who answers questions before the crew arrives. Put that person's contact beside your service description. If another company handles part of the job, explain which part.

What to bring for your manure service website

Send the services you want customers to find and the places you cover. Add the phone number and email address customers should use. A few notes about your business give me the background. I also need good photos. Send your logo too, if you have one. Explain what a successful site would do for your business. Rough notes are enough for any of this.

When you bring the complete package up front, the cost is substantially lower. Gathering details and following up for missing material takes time. Having it ready lets me get on with the website.

I offer hosting and website experience at a reasonable rate. A lot of today's site work can be done with AI. I use it, and I handle the details it misses. I get the pieces connected and make sure everything works.

Questions farmers ask before booking manure work

Does the farmer need to meet the manure crew on arrival?

Say whether the farmer or another farm contact should meet the crew. Give the caller the arrival window and the number to use if that contact changes. Explain how the crew gets that person's name before the visit.

Will a liquid manure crew do solid manure spreading too?

Only if the company takes both kinds of work. Give solid spreading its own service choice and booking contact. If a stockpile photo and a rough amount help you quote, ask for them.

What information do you need to quote dragline manure pumping?

Start with the storage and field locations, acreage and amount if known. Ask about entrances and the timing the farmer needs. Say whether you visit before confirming the equipment, work and quote.

Is manure spreading priced per acre or by the load?

That depends on your billing method. State which unit you quote and what it covers. The farmer should see whether setup, travel and application are included. Say how you settle any change to the job.

Do you send a field map and manure application records after the job?

Say which record and map you send after each job, and show a sample of each. Give the farmer the date they arrive and a contact for another copy. For Minnesota jobs, Minnesota Rules 7020.2225, subpart 5, item A begins: "Any person applying or receiving manure or process wastewater from a facility capable of holding 100 or more animal units shall maintain records of the amount of manure or process wastewater application on file:" Item D gives this case: "Where manure or process wastewater from animal feedlots or manure storage areas with a capacity of 300 or more animal units is transferred for application to fields not owned or leased by the owner of the animal feedlot which produced the manure, the owner of the animal feedlot or the manure storage area from which the manure is produced must meet the following requirements:" Item D(2) then states: "commercial applicators spreading manure or process wastewater onto land not owned or leased by the owner of the animal feedlot or the manure storage area from which the manure or process wastewater is produced shall keep records, in accordance with subitem (1). A copy of these records must be submitted to the owner of the animal feedlot or the manure storage area from which the manure or process wastewater is produced no later than 60 days following land application."
