17 at the iFaamjapji Homs
Center,
discuss ' manure handling
systems and how to manage
manure for maximum
benefits.
As a follow up to this
meeting, tours and
demonstrations have been
scheduled to give dairymen
an opportunity to observe
systems and equipment m
operation. Tour dates are
Wednesday and Thursday,
March 19 and 20. The public
is invited to attend.
As inflation drives fer
tilizer prices upward, it also
increases the value of the
manure produced on the
farm. Farmers want to
manage their manure
properly to get the
maximum fertilizer value
from it. Farmers are also
giving very serious con
sideration to systems that
will reduce labor and fuel
consumption and reduce the
wear and tear on expensive
machinery equipment
These meetings, tours and
demonstrations are being
conducted to inform
dairymen about alternative
methods and equipment.
On March 17, gravity flow
systems will be discussed by
Richard Guest, Cornell
Agricultural Engineer. He,
along with Penn State
Agricultural Engineer, will
update farmers on the
production of methane gas
(for fuel) from manure.

demonstrating that day
length has a definite effect
on the amount of milk
produced by lactatmg cows
and the growth rate of
maturing dairy animals.
Peters has extensive
experience working with
dairy cattle, having grown
up on a dairy farm m
western Minnesota. He was
also a 4-H member for nine
years and a member of the
Future Fanners of America

Noah as two systems.
Manure from one free stall
bam is scraped mto a pit and
is loaded out by gravity
through a hydraulically
operated gate. His other
bam is completely slatted,
requires no scraping, and
the manure is pumped out as
a liquid.
As a graduate student at
the University of Kentucky,
Erdman did research
evaluating buffers in the
diets of dairy cattle and their
effects on feed intake and
milk production. In addition
to his research, Erdman also
coached the inter-collegiate
dairy cattle judging team.
Like Peters, he gamed
experience with dairy cattle
on the family farm.
