Originally native to the southwest U.S., the plant has since spread up to the Midwest and Canada. And one of the ways through which the weed is spreading is in contaminated manure. When cows feast on weed seeds, this can result in Palmer invading fields. Now, researchers and educators in Minnesota are working on spreading awareness about this issue, as well as finding mitigation options. » Read more...

Mitigating methane from manure

In Canada and the U.S., an increased amount of scrutiny has been directed toward livestock producers for emissions. With pressure to reduce those emissions, new research suggests that alterations both to cows’ diets and storage can make the manure applied more environmentally friendly. Researchers at Cornell found that something as simple as monitoring macronutrient intake – for example, not allowing a surplus of protein – can have a material impact on emissions. Read more about their work, which also discusses storage techniques that can make a significant difference. » Read more...
