Well, I was being funny, but it's a good idea. Having so many animals in a 
given area that you can't safely spread the manure is a BAD idea. Some 
states (like PA) require CAFOs (confined animal feeding operations)  to have 
a manure mangement plan, based on real numbers...how much is optimal to put 
on the land, and what you will do with the rest. If they find it running off 
into a stream, you are in serious trouble. Some states, like Maryland, don't 
have (or don't enforce) these kinds of laws, which is why they have so much 
chicken manure causing problems.
