Ag By-Product Technology Bill Earns House Approval HARRISBURG (Dauphin Co.) - The House of Representatives recently approved legislation introduced by Sheila Miller (R -129) that encourages the use and development of environmentally sound and affordable methods of managing manure and other ani mal by-products. “By-product management is one of the most important aspects of modern farming,” Miller said. “These technologies can turn waste into energy, pathogen-free fertilizers and animal feed sup plements, all of which help farms operate more efficiently and keep the environment free of potential air and water pollutants.” The Agricultural By-Product Technology Act requires the Department of Agriculture to evaluate new management prac tices and promote the education and use of those practices Hauls Everything From Tools to 10-Pointers.

Additionally, the board would be responsible for assess ing regional manure and by-prod uct reduction needs and for encouraging cooperation among the agricultural community, industry and local government regarding the use and develop ment of the new technologies • Side-by-side seating, steering wheel • Hydraulic disc brakes, front and rear • 1,5001 b towing capacity • Accessories include winch blade, electric box assist and more GOOD VEAL: 11.0040.00.
