Composting Manure Reduces Greenhouse Gases
The University of Alberta in Canada recently performed a study on composting cow manure and got some interesting results.
University of Alberta researcher Gurpreet Singh said he unearthed scientific evidence that composting, rather than the normal farm practice of stockpiling dung, produces a third less greenhouse gases and could reduce Canada’s carbon emissions by as much as 1.6 billion kilograms annually.
Unfortunately, the article goes on to say that composting on the farm can get expensive, which may deter many farmers. Tax incentives anyone?
