Manure is a valuable resource. Our lagoons are valuable tools used to store our manure until we can use it properly, safely and productively. The vast majority of lagoons are built to NRCS (Natural Resources Conservation Services) standards.
Lagoon Considerations:
 - Fertilization Requirements
 - Number of Cows
 - Manure Distribution Method
 - Existing Facilities

Keep reading for Storage period, site, & geological considerations plus lagoon specifics, permeability standard, clay liner requirements and more.

    Growing up, I told my farmer friends, I would never marry a dairy farmer. Little did I know that God had other plans for me! 

    Now, I am married to a dairy farmer and I love it!

    Because I wasn't raised on a farm, I knew very little about farming. What I did know, was only from when I helped friends do their chores. 

    Now I am learning by asking my dairy farmer questions and sharing the answers with you!
