If you are talking about humanure, you're right, but I would not bet
much on animal manure. The days of the giant Confined Animal Feeding
Operations that are producing such large mountains of manure are
numbered. The first problem with them is that they are entirely
dependent upon producing large amounts of corn and wheat, and as the
energy decline hits, corn acreage in particular is likely to shrink
considerably. On a small farm, which is the future of animal husbandry,
no manure goes to waste.

Yes, but those large mountains of hog poop are dependent upon large
mounains of corn, and without the corn, there will be no large mountains
of hog poop.
