Crawford Stewardship Project is grateful for the generous support of the Wisconsin Community Fund.

Thank you to Organic Valley for their generous contribution to our silent auction in February 2013.


"CAFOs are only profitable because so much of the cost and damage is externalized onto the environment, neighbors and wildlife. The monitoring, supervision, clean-up, restitution, fines are not happening, thus the true cost of CAFOs never find the way onto the balance books." Talking point from the CAFO Conference.

METHANE DIGESTERS: FACT AND FICTION

Come and learn more about the science behind Manure Digesters and their relationship to Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs).

Please join us for an evening with Jim Poehling, a registered professional engineer in Wisconsin for over 30 years. Jim is vice president engineer of First Supply LLC in La Crosse and a partner in JMP Commissioning. He is LEED (Leadership in Engineering and Environmental Design) certified and is passionate about sustainable farming practices, and will address the myth about Manure Digesters being the "silver bullet" solution to properly managing large volumes of animal waste. Jim designed a heating system for a small scale digester and understands how they work. He will inform us about digester problems, their prohibitive cost and the truths and falsehoods of how digesters affect clean air and water.

This timely presentation is brought to you by Crawford Stewardship Project and Valley Stewardship Network. Presentation is at 7:00 pm in the Community Room of Vernon Memorial Hospital Medical Office Building (lower level), 507 S Main Street, Viroqua. Refreshments and social immediately following the presentation.
