Of course he will not be able to visit this one as it is near Ballarat in
Victoria, Australia. However, it may be useful for him to have a look at
Berrybank Farm which has a 15000 pig operation, a biodigester producing
160kW/hr electricity over a 16 hour day and then a composting operation.

The certified organic compost and potting mix is sold to independent
nurseries and others across the country.

If he wants to contact them directly, contact me and I will get the details
for him as I know one of the brothers.

Subject: [SANET-MG] looking for someone composting hog manure

We received a call in the office this morning from a gentlemen looking to
set up a small (100 sow) hog operation in the  Caribbean, and would like to
compost the manure as a value added product. He has plenty of hog expertise
but none in composting. He would like to talk with and hopefully visit
someone who is composting hog manure (it will not be a liquid manure
system).  Any leads I can pass on to him will be appreciated. He lives in
Northwest Ohio, but is willing to go anywhere. Referrals to more southern
states would be especially welcome.

Thanks,

Cary
