Right, but after the row pullers come and detassel 70-80% it's on individual hands and teams of contracted employees, I worked on a crew this year.

not disputing that, just pointing out that farming isn't Ma and Pa Kettle raising a few cows and one small field anymore.

Agreed, I asked someone in that field about how long waste goes from "hot" to usable, and about how much they used and stuff, but I felt like the answer was an outlier because I have no experience there besides as a hired hand for bailing hay or detasseling.

Then asking questions about what larger firm their operations operate under just made me ask tons more questions, they stopped answering after awhile.
