When people envision a thriving Michigan farm, they picture healthy livestock, lush paddocks, and clean, safe surroundings. But often overlooked is a “silent saboteur” lurking beneath hooves and wheels: persistent mud. Not only does muddy ground look unkempt, but it undermines farm operations—from animal welfare to property value and expense.
Why Mud Matters
-
Animal health & safety: Slippery mud increases the risk of sprains, injuries, and hoof issues. It also leads to water and manure pooling, elevating parasite load and disease risk.
-
Operational inefficiency: Every wheelbarrow push or feed delivery through mud slows work down and requires more effort.
-
Structural damage: Constant wetness and mud can degrade fence posts, foundations, and equipment.
-
Curb appeal & market perception: A sodden, unkempt entrance or paddock dampens that “first impression” for buyers, neighbors, and even potential workforce.
