health and public health issues re
lated to agricultural wastes. Two
issues of concern in rural areas are
used agricultural plastics and farm
dumps. “We are working on a pro
prietary process to take plastic
waste products, such as mulch
films, and densify them into fuel,”
says Jim Garthe, instructor in agri
cultural and biological engineer
ing. The “fuel nuggets” can be
burned with coal in small boilers
on farms or within rural com
munity lioilcrs. “We want to show
producers that there is a light at
the end of the tunnel,” Garthe said.

to be heard in agricultural and
legislative circles so we can fur-
