Dairy Farm Recycling

It's a fact--if you have cows, you have manure. 

Recycling cow manure is an important part of our  dairy farming operation.

Hauling manure  doesn't happen every day but it's on the weekly

 to do list.  In between hauling events,  the manure that our cows

 produce is stored in a large concrete pit by the dairy barn or in the

 dry stacking area  in the feed barn. 

All of our storage areas meet the requirements of the 

Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality.

Nutrient management plans  are designed specifically for our farm by

 engineers and technicians. The plans  guide the amount,source, 

placement and timing of manure  to fertilize the soil and

 improve the water holding capacity for crop fields and pastures.

                                                                       

Storing and hauling manure is all about protecting the environment

 for our cows, our farm, our family and our neighbors and is important

 to the sustainability of our farm.
