Join us on a tour of North 40, a commercial horse manure composting facility with Joel and Tresie Wiersma. Have more manure that you know what to do with? North 40 is the only local composting facility currently accepting horse manure; learn more about Joel's business turning manure in to landscaping and fertilizer gold. 

Learn tips, techniques and strategies for composting and managing manure that can reduce pile size, create a valuable soil amendment, improve animal health, reduce pests, and keep our water clean. This workshop will cover composting practices, manure storage plans, options for using or getting rid of your manure, and how to safely and efficiently spread manure to improve your pastures or farmstead. While this event will focus on horse manure, management strategies discussed can be utilized for all types of livestock operations.
