Today on my bike I passed 3 farms. Each one had about the same sized bags of "aged" cow manure for sale. At Farm A the price was $2, Farm B $3, and Farm C $4. This leads to several questions:
1. Is Farm C's manure twice as good as Farm A's? And if so, why?
2. Is "aged" cow manure better than fresh? Is cow manure like fine wine, better as it gets older? What's the optimum time for aging cow manure? How come cow manure isn't like fish or fruit which is best fresh? Restaurants always emphasize the catch of the day. ("The fish you eat today swam last night in Buzzards Bay.") Maybe farmers should line up their cows along the street and fill the bags "on demand."
3. Speaking of which, who fills up the bags? Is it done by machine? If not, how much does one get paid for filling bags of cow manure? Would one need a resume to apply for the job?
Just wondering.
