Here in Canada we have pretty heavy application of manure, primarily in spring and fall. It's part of how we replenish soils at small and large scales.

I suspect we rarely grow greens immediately after applications, but to say only backyard operations use animal manure isn't true.

Evidently this is a common and well-researched practice in the USA as well: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/286297896_Animal_Ma...
