On-Farm Composting
Composting recycles organic wastes into a valuable resource. It stabilizes organic materials and is easier to handle than manure, and can be stored safely, transported easily, and applied at a convenient time. For more information on the benefits of on-farm composting, please see this presentation from the 2009 PASA Farming for the Future Conference.
