Dec. 5: Compost bedded pack dairy barn workshop at OARDC

OARDC, which is the research arm of our college, will host a workshop on compost bedded pack dairy barns on Dec. 5. Possible benefits of these systems include increased comfort and longevity for the cows and less environmental risk from their manure. The manure is composted (and intensively managed) together with the cows in the barn rather than being turned into liquid manure. The national Cooperative Extension System’s eXtension website has details on how these systems work here.
