Humus compost manure system gets carbon into the soil, cuts fertilizer use | The Mitchell Republic
Olsen Custom Farms of Hendricks, Minn., has constructed a 14-acre site for making “humus compost” from the farm’s 3,500-head confinement beef custom feedlot near Toronto, S.D. The idea is to improve crop yields yields while replacing synthetic fertilizers, all while reducing a carbon footprint. The company believes it will be smart to get ahead of federal policies that likely will influence farm nutrient practices.
