Frank shares his experience with manure spreading and the impact that has been realized by farmers through his equipment. The manure spreader is an intermediate and scalable technology used to increase soil fertility and crop productivity by evenly spreading manure on fields. This machine includes a rotor shaft, manure guides, and clutch mounted on a cart drawn by an animal or motorbike. Most farmers apply manure by shoveling, while others burn it as waste because the process of spreading is too hard.
