A recent study by Michigan State University Extension finds some farmers are apprehensive about using composted manure because they don’t see value in it.
Charles Gould tells Brownfield he compared perspectives of farmers, landscapers, and greenhouse and nursery operators from 2005 to 2019.
“The genesis for this study really was to help farmers identify the market that they want to sell compost to first, and then help them produce the type of compost they could move into those markets,” he explains.
