Bio-Digester Systems

Looking for ways to diversify revenue is critical to the long term financial viability of many farms. While manure has always traditionally been a resource on the farm as a fertilizer, alternative products can be produced creating new income generating opportunities. Maximizing the value of manure increases farmers’ resiliency to the uncertainty of commodity product markets.

Manure digester systems provide:

• “Tipping fees” received for the management of non-farm organic waste streams. This not only boosts direct revenues, but provides additional biogas for energy production.
• Organic nutrients from the liquid and solid by-products of digested manure. These can be used both on-farm or sold to other local or regional agriculture and horticulture sources.
• Animal bedding or peat moss replacement from digested solids.
• Biogas produced from the breakdown of the manure. Biogas is a source of renewable energy for electricity, heat, and fuel for on-site use or sale to the local grid.
