Livestock Mortality Composting Training at Bluegill Farms
Mortality Composting Workshop
Thursday, October 3rd
10am - 2pm
Join CCE and Cornell's Waste Management Specialist, Jean Bonhotal, to discuss properly constructing and maintaining livestock mortality compost piles on your farm. The classroom session will be followed by a lunch and visit to a local farm to see their composting site and to dig into a pile to gain practical exposure to a successful composting process.
At 10am, we will start with a classroom session and lunch in at the CCE Steuben Office. It's located in the 2nd floor conference room of the Annex Building (20 East Morris St., Bath, NY).
Following lunch, we'll take a trip out to Bluegill Farms (7400 County Route 13, Bath NY) to dig into their compost pile and continue the discussion from the morning.
The event is free to attend due to the generous support of CCE Steuben. Registrations are required by September 30th by contacting Anne at 607-664-2568.
