COW POWER - ALTERNATE ENERGY FROM COWS- Joe Zimmerman


Fair Oaks Farm is doing what it can to save money where ever it can. They are also doing more than just raising dairy cattle. Turns out they are also in the electricity business too. Using thier manure management system, they are now biorenewable enegry in action. By using a methane digester, they are able to turn cow manuere into fertilizer for crop fields and electricity for the farm and community. This also kills odors in the process too. This transformation is an eco-friendly system which produces enough electricity for 500 homes.
