Would it be more beneficial to move your critters around the land each day via Polyface Farms method? Wouldn't that eliminate the need to have to spray fertilizer? Or at least greatly reduced the need?
You can easily move herbivorous stock around. Hens scratch through their dung, eat out the fly larvae, scatter the nutrients into the soil. Give you eggs.
How compatible this technique is with a huge "regular" farm, I'm not sure.
There's no sense in being compatible. The farmer abandons "regular" factory farm models of shoving animals into big stationary structures and farms in a way that mimics nature.
There's tons of videos of Joel Salatin explaining nearly every step of it, in detail.
Terrible way to farm. This will eventually lead to better farming methods but until then we need to grow our own food.
The prices of fresh vegetables will make small farms more profitable. We have horses, chickens and goats. They make alot of fertilizer.
Of course it is easier to buy and spread with a gigantic sprayer.
I’m doing that for a client farm tomorrow. I can do about ten acres in an hour.
Takes me all day to spread poop from my compost pile

And how do you get animals to evenly spread shit consistently across a field?

Yes. This is the type of farming we need to get back to.
When a designer purse is 5000 dollars and farm products are still relatively cheap people won’t farm.
When prices go up on farm products people will get back into farming.
