Manure and food residuals compost are in the bag

Article Abstract:

The addition of a bagging machine has improved the efficiency of a Canadian dairy farm's composting operation. The farm composts a chicken-manure/food residuals mixture, which is turned, screened, and aerated before being conveyed to the bagger, which uses a hopper system that allows bag weights to be preset.
