Compost Facilities consist of a structure or device to contain and facilitate an aerobic microbial ecosystem for the decomposition of manure, other organic material, or both, into a final product sufficiently stable for storage, on-farm use, and application to land as a soil amendment. This video explores how Barry Higgins implemented this conservation practice on his farm in Charleston, Maine.
Practice benefits:
• Improve water quality
• Reduce soil erosion
• Improve terrestrial habitat
• Improve soil health through compost usage
The Conservation at Work video series was created to increase producer awareness of common conservation practices and was filmed at various locations throughout the country. Because conservation plans are specific to the unique resource needs on each farm and also soil type, weather conditions, etc., these videos were designed to serve as a general guide to the benefits of soil and water conservation and landowners should contact their local USDA office for individual consultation.
