Episode 7: The Importance of Implementing Native Grasses on Farms
With the noticeable pollution of various waterways in the US there has been a lot of talk about how to best protect against this pollution on farms. One of the most promising solutions is implementing native grass strips on fields, on marginal lands or as riparian buffers around waterways. Join us as we talk about the various benefits of using native grasses to protect the ecosystem on farms and how to establish these grasses on your farm successfully. If you enjoy the podcast and want to le...

Episode 6: The Importance of Life Cycle Assessments for Anaerobic digesters
Whether it's the need for digesters to prove they are a carbon neutral for the new IRA energy tax credits or to participate in the emerging carbon credit markets, accurate life cycle assessments of digesters are crucial. That is why we brought on Professor Mark Mba-Wright to talk about what life cycle assessments are and how they can show the carbon reductions that digester technologies provide. We also explore the opportunities that exist to make anaerobic digestion projects further carbon n...

Episode 3: Economics of a Digester Project
Join us with our guest William Lazarus Applied agricultural economist from the university of Minnesota as we discuss the economics of a digester project. There is a lot of interest in digesters but with high up front cost there’s a lot to consider before jumping into a project. Here we discuss many of the considerations such as revenue sources, funding a project and what can make the difference between a successful project and an unsuccessful one. William Lazarus also has a free to use digest...

Episode 2: Realizing The Potential of Cover Crops & Prairie Grass Through RNG
Join us as we speak with Professor Emeritus Tom Richard from Penn state’s department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering about the future of RNG in farming. The white paper that he co-authored “Realizing the Full Potential of Winter-Hardy Cover Crops and Prairie Biomass through the Production of Renewable Natural Gas” highlights new pathways for RNG production on farms. These pathways could make RNG more accessible for the average farm while delivering greater environmental and economi...
