Bio-Gas?

Quite a few years ago I heard that small scale methane production was making headway in India. Perhaps in those days it wouldn't have been the most efficient process but sometimes we pay too much for a small improvement in efficiency.

Cowman, even now there are regulations with respect to manure . All manure must be incorporated within 48 hours unless it is spread on hay or pasture land or land that is direct seeded. Alberta is on the forefront of regulations with regard to manure storage and handling. Cow/calf operations will also come under the provincial regulations effective January 1/05. This will affect Seasonal Feeding and Bedding Sites, and the legislation I refer to is the Agricultural Operations Practices Act.
In the very near future though I do not see a ban on land spreading of manure. It is a nutrient and certainly is much more economical way to apply nitrogen.
