Although we celebrate Earth Day everyday on the dairy farm by caring for our land and animals, harvesting our spring crop of rye grass is a great way to celebrate the actual day. This crop has grown due to the application of cow manure on the field. Cow manure not only provides needed nutrients for a crop , it also increases the water holding capacity for the soil..jpg)
Recycled cow manure is a perfect example of how we celebrate Earth Day everyday!
Federal ,state and local clean water laws regulate how manure is applied on crop lands, so nutrients are absorbed by crops,not groundwater. To protect the environment, we follow a farm plan that has been designed by environmental engineering specialists that guide how much manure can be applied to acceptable acres of farm and crop land.
From all of us down on the dairy farm,
Happy Earth Day!!
