[QUOTE="haybalin fool, post: 65994, member: 1213"] I've heard of some companies burning the litter for power, and the result is about 2% of the initial volume. The majority of what's left is P, which could be utilized out west. The ideal situation would be to ship corn and soybeans in, the P back out. Speaking of the timber land, litter will give you a great deal more grass than traditional fertilizers for freshly cleared land. That's one of the first things we do, apply lime and litter. As far as the pork situation, we're under a moratorium right now until an alternative can be found to lagoons. We've got a research center, partnered w/ other universities and companies, working to find solutions to both the mortality issue and manure. With either one, they're reducing it, drying it and pelletizing it. It's kinda cool to see a dead hog that's been in phosphoric acid go into a barrel lined w/ teeth, add some soyhulls, pelletize it, flash dry it, cool it and then put it in a bin. [/QUOTE]
