Dairy Farmers of America, Vanguard announce digester alliance
A nationwide dairy cooperative is working with a renewable energy company to make anaerobic digesters more available. Dairy Farmers of America President of Farm Services David Darr tells Brownfield Vanguard Renewables has the technology and experience to help producers process waste while helping the environment and their bottom line. “They are working with farms today that range from 250 cows to farms that are milking and caring for 2-3 thousand cows, and we’re seeing opportunities not in every state, but we’re seeing opportunities for smaller farms and bigger farms to be able to take advantage of new, emerging, improving technology.”
Darr says many farmers would consider generating methane gas and electricity from manure but don’t know where to start.
