#2 CHICKEN LITTER: What do you do with the stuff?
Most of the corn and soybean yield contest winners use
manure. Is
chicken litter worth the hassle? Is there an advantage to
pelleted vs.
loose litter? Bill Hunt of Davidson, MI, who will
discuss how he manages the 7,000 tons of chicken manure he applies to his farm
each year. Brian Gearling (from Herbruck’s Poultry Ranch) will also
