North Central Kansas | Find me a 50-100 head dairy that is stand alone that the owners are not living below the poverty level. Unfortunately everything now has to be scaled up.
In 2017 we went to Germany and visited our exchange students uncles farm. They ran a large digester. They grew turkeys and they also took waste manure from a local dairy and hog farms. Plus they used corn silage to feed it. It was an interesting facility. They were loading out the effluent while we were there. Totally odorless. They were spreading it on their fields. They had two generators that burned the biogas. One at the farm and the other in the local village. They piped the gas to it. They also collected heat off the generators in the winter and heated their buildings and some of the village buildings. The electricity sold to the grid was subsidized. The main reason was due to the lack of energy sources in Germany.
If climate extremists were about reducing the carbon footprint of ag digesters would be at the top of their list. That is not their goal. They want to eliminate dairy, beef, swine and poultry. This is a concern for the everyone in Agriculture. Without animals we don’t need a lot of corn and soybeans.
