Our farm is unique in that we collect 1,000 to 2,000 pounds of paper products every day from neighbors and local businesses and then we use these products to provide a clean, fresh place for the pigs to lay every day. Our composting operation allows us to utilize an increased quantity of used bedding and manure. Many other farmers work to minimize manure nutrients and store them beneath their hog building. We routinely clean out our barn and compost the manure and paper mixture.
