Many U.S. dairy farmers have heard about the 2050 environmental stewardship goals for dairy farms and processing plants relating to greenhouse gas emissions, water use and nutrient management.
In March 2020, the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy approved a new set of environmental stewardship goals to further the industry’s commitment to sustainability.
Digesters are gaining popularity among dairy farms for several reasons. Not only do digesters reduce odor of manure and leave less of a residue, but they also help the condition of the soil.
When I was young, I saw a magazine advertisement about manure spreaders. The catch phrase was that they stood behind all their equipment but the manure spreader.
The past two years have seen a surge in new digester construction, predominantly for production of renewable natural gas (RNG) sold into the California vehicle fuel market.
Regardless of farm size or operation type, manure (or nutrient) management is something every dairy producer must be familiar with. Not giving this area due consideration and planning can have detrimental effects.
