NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY ANIMAL WASTE WORKSHOP
North Carolina State University will conduct an animal waste management
workshop immediately following the ASAE Trio Conference. This workshop will
feature virtual tours of about 10 of the environmentally superior technology
candidates for swine waste management being investigated under the Smithfield
Foods/Premium Standard Farm/Frontline Farmers Agreement with the NC Attorney
General. In addition, virtual tours of other full scale animal waste management
projects will also be presented. Personnel from Smithfield Foods and Premium
Standard Farms will present other farm scale work on advanced technologies
being evaluated and demonstrated. More information/registration can be found
