Once a custom separator system is installed at the Craig farm, liquids exiting the separator will flow down to the lagoon. The lagoon, in effect, will become more of a finishing pond. The solids will be lifted out and placed on an impervious clay layer and used to produce compost. The compost product that was produced on a trial basis moved
quickly. “I can’t keep it. I’ll sell someone one load and then it’s
‘Bring me all you’ve got.’”
Interestingly, their compost customers have included some familiar
faces from their days in court. “The same people who fussed about
us growing the hogs have turned right around and want this
composted topsoil. They may not like where it comes from, but
they sure like what it does to their roses and their tomatoes.”
