Manure composting has become very popular in recent years.

Many farms have grasped the concept of using composted manure as bedding for the cows to replace traditional bedding such as sand and sawdust.  

Composted solids are also sold off farm to reduce nutrient load on the soils and to bring in additional income.  There is often a good market for these composted solids.

The Dairyman’s LINK has helped design and install several drum composting facilities and has a broad knowledge base of methods and equipment available to the market.  We can help the farm find and or develop a market for solids if needed.

We have also developed a computer model that evaluates each project to determine if the ROI meets the customer’s expectations.   

Whether it is out door windrowing, aerated piles or drum composters, this technology deserves a good look.

In this section you will find information about a variety of different composting methods and articles that discuss added benefits of composting.
