The manuare being concentrated like that makes its runoff a real problem. That leads to fish kills in a waterways and such

Manure is piled up like that for a reason: it traps heat and allows the pile to compost. Manure is not a good fertilizer until is fully composted which does not happen if it’s not piled up.

Even small family farms that use open field grazing and treat their cattle exceptionally well use farm equipment to pile up manure so it can compost for a year before spreading it on their fields.
