A Michigan pork producer says with record higher fertilizer prices manure is showing its true worth.
“That’s shown added value—significantly.”
Rick Sietsema is the CFO for High-Lean Pork which raises 20,000 sows in Michigan and 17,000 in Ontario. He tells Brownfield it’s also brought increased value to their 60 plus family farm contractors.
“We’ve been contacted by other farmers in the area looking for manure as a resource and that’s a welcome sight to see because it really is a resource,” he says.
