in Maryland where I farm, there has been a surplus of chicken litter on the eastern shore. Good for farmers there, but moving it around is expensive. I get litter from an egg operation near Gettysburg. It used to be free but now is $10/ton. I just bought 5 truck loads (120 tons), cost me $700 per load. I expect that price to go up. On-road diesel just hit $4.00/gal in our area which puts off-road prices over $3.00/gal. Input costs are getting to the point where there is no net profit in raising a crop.
