When many of us think composting, we think about throwing a banana peel or two on the heap. But composting has a place in agriculture too – three farms in the Yahara River watershed are implementing manure composting practices and seeing major benefits.

We spoke with Andy last week about this exciting project to test both the costs and environmental benefits of windrow manure composting.
