The livestock industry is responsible for 48% ($8 billion) of Nebraska's total agricultural cash receipts, and livestock or poultry operations are found on 50% of Nebraska farms. With livestock production comes manure, and while some consider it a waste, it is a valuable resource. Teaching and changing the paradigm of a waste-to-resource is a key objective to ensuring the proper and sustainable utilization of animal manures in Nebraska Agriculture.
