Nebraska Feedlot Composting Project Webinar

When yard waste meets feedlot manure, soil health can be improved! Learn how these "waste" products are turned into a valuable compost that farmers can use to organically provide nutrition to crops over a number of years and to improve soil health and moisture retention. Feedlot composting is an investment that can pay the farmer, the municipality, and the composter. We covered examples of successful operations and demonstrated the financial tool developed to help show the feasibility of this kind of operation. We also talked about the barriers and benefits for stakeholders in an operation like this. This webinar was held on Thursday, June 23rd, 2022. It is the culmination of a project funded by the Nebraska Environmental Trust.
