If your property included a 20-acre parcel that had
Crude Oil beneath it, of course you'd pump
it up and sell it.
If you think about it, in many ways treating the manure your livestock
generates like a commodity is better for you than a Crude Oil field. First of all the crude
oil field doesn't exist, while there's no question of the manure's existence.
And even if you had the oil field, as long as you keep livestock you'll be up to
here in manure.
Manure is a natural byproduct of your primary business, and
it's not hidden under the ground, nor do you have to extract it from the bodies
of your livestock; on the contrary, they eagerly
deposit at your feet on a daily basis.
Like Crude Oil, from manure you can produce heat and
electricity as well as fertilizer and fiber; the profits from which will more than pay for
your initial investment.
