Stocks have shrunk considerably
The supply of manure has shrunk considerably due to the smooth progress of spring. Topographically, this means that livestock farmers, who live roughly above the major rivers, have their manure pits as good as empty. Or these must be at an acceptable level.

Lack of time and equipment
The cause must be found, among other things, in the distance from the arable area in the spring. Due to the lack of time and equipment, in the spring we mainly use manure that can be collected nearby. Then the livestock farmers who live at a distance will have to pay the price.
Pig farmers, who now want to get a head start on more pit space, are mainly dependent on processing. Sales to arable farming are at a low level. The collection contributions are all unchanged this week.
