May, 2013
The May issue looks at upcoming webcasts on monoslope barns and carbon sequestration. We also introduce new materials on small-scale poultry, small-scale sheep & goat production, and nutrient transformation of digested manure. The winners of the Waste to Worth student poster contest were also announced. We also include a short post in memory of Dr. Dick Hegg, who passed away April 1, 2013.
