An award-winning Minnesota hog operation finds the most
effective manure management approach includes a strong focus on
records and taking care of the details. The Braun Farms’ efforts in manure management, and their high standards
in general farm management, were recently recognized by the
Pork Checkoff of the National Pork Board. The Brauns were one
of four pork production operations to receive the 2006 Pork
Industry Environmental Steward Awards. Working off a FarmWorks software program, they use tracking
software and have an account of what they have done in every
field, right back to 1998.
