Today we had a tour at another dairy farm where they produce energy from
methane digestors. Other farms that produce electricity from the methane given off from the waste water containing manuer will use tarps to capture the methane which is inefficient. This farmer also grows corn so any scraps from the corn can get put into the digestor. His main source is his cows manuer. The left over material is then spread on his corn fields to fertilize his crops. It seemed like a very sustainable farm. I was impressed. We stayed another night at Mike's farm
