Anaerobic Digester
An anerobic digester is a component of a waste management system in which biological treatment breaks down animal manure and other organic materials in the absence of oxygen. This video explores how Case Van Steyn implemented this conservation practice on his dairy near Elk Grove, California.
Practice benefits:
• Reduces greenhouse gases
• Improved air quality
• Facilitates energy production
• Reduces odors
• Reduces pathogens
The Conservation at Work video series was created to increase producer awareness of common conservation practices and was filmed at various locations throughout the country. Because conservation plans are specific to the unique resource needs on each farm and also soil type, weather conditions, etc., these videos were designed to serve as a general guide to the benefits of soil and water conservation and landowners should contact their local USDA office for individual consultation.
