Putting manure on the ground when it's flooded will do no harm, it's how
you get it there that can ruin the ground,

Another thought: If the manure stays really wet, the decomposition will go
anaerobic, and smell like.....well, like it already does, but more so.
Doesn't much matter where I am (there are a couple of biggish dairy farms
in town), but...

There's run off in what may be an undesirable direction, like the back
door or pond, or down a road or lane to somone's else's property, if
the rain becomes heavier. Can he pile it in a corner, tarp it and use
it later?

Well he could go out there tonight and throw it into the air and let the
wind spread it.

Similar problem for me last winter. We garden on clay/silt and didn't have
any manure delivered because the ground was already saturated and I didn't
want more water being held by the wet manure. I wouldn't have been able to
incorporate it in to the soil either and would have done more damage walking
about on the "rice paddy".
