Farmers Please Empty Storage

Friday, October 30th, 2009


Wisconsin officials are asking farmers to stop hoarding manure and to empty their storage units.

According to the University of Wisconsin Extension, spreading manure on farm fields can cost thousands of dollars every year. Experts believe that farmers are delaying emptying their storage tanks to save money in these hard times.

Environmental agencies are concerned that holding the manure could create major spills and runoff from these storage structures, ultimately polluting the water supply.
