Three land-grant universities are cooperating to teach and demonstrate effective, efficient, and sustainable manure handling strategies this July. Michigan State University, Purdue University, and The Ohio State University are working with the Midwest Professional Nutrient Applicators Association to host the 2006 Great Lakes Manure Handling Expo July 27th in St. Johns, MI.

Ranging from the Economics of Manure to Odor Control and Composting, speakers from five states will present the latest in research and application, with a number of presentations focusing on issues specific to the dairy industry, such as bedding innovations.

No registration fee is required, and lunch will be available. You can download the promotional flyer, or visit the event’s information website to learn more about the Expo.
