Dairy Farmers Looking for Ways to Save at the 2008 World Dairy Expo Warren, RI, October 9, 2008 --- Like many in today’s economy, dairy farmers are searching for ways to shave their expenses and new avenues to make a profit. This was very apparent at the recently held 2008 World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wisconsin. The World Dairy Expo is international in scope and is known for hosting companies that represent the newest dairy technology and innovations. More than 67,000 attended with approximately 700 companies represented during the week of September 30 through October 4. One exhibitor, Pro-Act Biotech, reported that everyone from farmers to professors approached their booth with questions and curiosity about how Pro-Act’s biological system can save them money on fertilizer. “We were often asked how the Pro-Act treated manure is different from untreated in terms of fertilizer value,’” explains Bill Campion, president of Pro-Act Biotech. Campion says that In past years, the system’s benefits of odor reduction, solids reduction, conversion of nitrogen to an inorganic form and nutrient stratification which assists nutrient management were the main draw, but this year farmers wanted to know how Pro-Act can help them buy a lot less of the commercial fertilizer. “This is due to the skyrocketing price of fertilizer,” Campion adds. “It’s really hurting our farms.” In addition to saving money, farmers were also asking about digester technology in general and how Pro-Act’s technology can give them another source of profit. “This year’s Expo attendees were all about how to save money,” Campion explains. “And we were there to show them how.”
