Looks like Brothers Kevin and Daryl Maas of Washington State are on their way to a Nobel Prize for making electricity from cow manure.
We use a proven, commercialized technology called a manure digester to harvest methane gas from manure. We burn the methane to create electricity, while sending the processed manure back to the farmers as an organic fertilizer now free of pathogens and odor.

How will you celebrate “World Fair Trade Day” this year? It falls on May 10, and every year the mission of WFTD is to pay homage and create awareness of fair trade products, ideals, and practices.
Many organizations from across the globe create workshops, have conferences, hold fairs, and other events to gather people and start a discussion on what fair trade is, what it means, and how it is growing as a more humane form of labor.

In most cases, farmers would want rampant and fast means of trying to grow their crops. But in today’s age, cost is something to consider alongside the growing concern for

Pests and insects will always be a problem with farmers and harvesters anywhere today. While there will be the usual pesticides that can help remedy such instances, nothing beats the fact of adhering towards green policies as set forth by the Environment Risk Management Authority (ERMA).
With the ERMA’s consent, 1080 has been approved to fight off rodents and pests that normally reside in harvesting crops and plants by farmers anywhere. W
