Turning Manure To Power
A story by John Hartzell in the Wisconsin State Journal describes how farmer use a digester to get rid of animal waste and generate electricity:
When dairy farmer Gary Boyke looks out at the manure his herd produces, he sees the prospect of profits rather than waste, odors and water pollution.
Boyke is one of a growing number of farmers turning animal waste into energy, and he’s spreading the word to others. He will be among those giving presentations at a conference Tuesday in Madison on ways farmers can turn manure into money.
