Manure Composter Project

The Stutsman County Soil Conservation District has recently leased a Brown Bear Manure Composter for a new Manure Composter Project.  The goal of this project is to aid in manure management in the Pipestem Creek, Beaver Creek and Seven Mile Coulee watersheds.  Priority will be given to producers in these areas and secondary priority to producers in Stutsman and Foster Counties outside of these areas.  Contact the Stutsman County Soil Conservation District for more information.

The composter provides the following:

1) Reduction in total manure mass of over 50%.

2) The end product from the process is not considered manure, but is a soil amendment.  This allows additional amounts to be added in fields.

3) The compost product is easy to spread without the hassle of “lumps” or excessive twine.

4) The compost process allows breakdown of most organic materials including dead animals.

5) Retains nutrients more efficiently for use in crop production. 

6) Useful for spreading on no-till fields.  Correct application will not result in seedling damage.
