Cows & Climate Change
Mismanaged, excess manure from over 40,000 dairy farms across America has the potential to pollute surface & groundwater, infiltrate waterways, and negatively impact air quality.
In 2016, California passed SB1383, legislation aimed at reducing emissions of pollutants like methane by 40% by 2030. Similar laws are expected to be enacted by other states, and many dairy farmers risk additional costs & regulations to meet legislative mandates.
CURRENT MANAGEMENT CHALLENGES
MANURE MANAGEMENT
IS COSTLY
Managing manure represents one of the top 3 operating costs, is time-consuming, and requires constant removal / disposal.
REGULATIONS LIMIT
HERD SIZE
EPA regulations on herd size & limited land resources can reduce milk production. Proper, smart manure management can minimize the negative impact on farms
ODOR
CONTROL
Improper manure management practices can lead to unpleasant odors that can negatively impact community relations.
