MID-WEST FARM REPORT - MADISON

Lucas Cappozzo is nine years old and going into the fourth grade this fall. This is his third year showing at the county fair – he loves showing dairy calves especially. His home fair is Fond du Lac County, but his family also shows at the Wisconsin State Fair. He tells me about his showing experience at the poultry barn in Fond du Lac, beginning with how many different animals he brought this year. Does this jog a fair memory of yours?

Cattle manure is an essential part of dairy production. Methane digestion of dairy cattle manure has many environmental and economic benefits, including producing renewable energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Katie Grinstead of Vir-Clar farms and her family utilize a methane digester to supply over 800 homes with power. She shares more about her farm and how the methane digester works.
