Dairy Farm Uses Manure To Create Electricity
A dairy farm in Waterloo, Wisconsin not only raises their dairy producing cows on green grass, the way they generate electricity is green, too.
The Crave Brothers Diary Farm uses a computer controlled anaerobic digestion system that generates enough electricity to run their farm and power up to 120 homes. The system runs on organic waste from their 750 “pampered” cows.
According to a press release, the anaerobic digestion is “a biological process in which microorganisms break down organic waste in a process that ultimately produces gas”.

We live and work on Mackinac Island Michigan. There are no cars on the island, just horses and bikes.
How can we do this ?
