Steve, What i would question here from the standpoint of sustainability, is how the hogs are raised in the first place. If this is factory farming, I doubt it's sustainable. thor ----------------------------------------------- Message: 4 Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2003 19:47:31 -0500 From: "Steve Spence" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Smithfield to Convert Hog Waste Into Fuel why is converting manure to methane gas gross? We used to do it my farming days. It's healthier than spreading the liquid stuff on the fields. You spread the dry stuff leftover and plow it under for fertilizer.
