Digester could aid farm waste problem

April 6, 2010 by Intelligencer Journal

March 31, 2010 – A
Pennsylvania township is being courted by a company that wants to build a $45
to $50 million anaerobic manure digester.

In exchange for manure
from poultry and pigs, farmers would get free power, free odorless fertilizer
and a modest lease payment. Cow manure would not be used, at least initially,
because it is often mixed with straw.
