F4-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 13 1994
Manure Composting
Demonstrations Set
ROCKSPRING (Centre Co.)
Many farmers adopting nutrient
management plans are finding
they have excess manure, and it
can be cumbersome and costly to
deal with. An alternative is com
posting. Leant about materials and
techniques for composting at Penn
State’s 1994 Ag Progress Days,
August 16 to 18.
“Farmers often get complaints
from suburban neighbors about
manure handling and disposal,”
says Robert Oberheim, Ag Prog
ress Days manager in Penn State’s
College of Agricultural Sciences.
“Composting manure can be the
answer to odor and pollution prob
lems as well as a way to deal with
excess manure.”
Farmers interested in compost
ing manure and other agricultural
wastes can visit the on-farm com
posting display above West
Twelfth Street, past the horse area.

Tent will shuttle visitors to the
display.
Featured will be concrete man
ure bunkers, compost turners and
a manure composting pad. “The
concrete composting pad is an
example of what is approved by
the Pennsylvania SCS and the
Pennsylvania Department of
Environmental Resources,” says
Oberheim.
The compost turners will
handle a variety of materials, such
as food processing waste, animal
manure, leaves and grass clip
pings. Experts will be on hand to
explain compost mixtures and
procedures.
“In addition to showing large,
commercial-sized compost tur
ners, we hope to display equip
ment suitable for smaller farms,”
says Oberheim. “Displays will
show how manure composts when
mixed with different kinds of ani
mal bedding.”
