Tree Order Form Available for the 2010 Planting Season (click button to the left). ********************************************** 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.
