    So basically milk is a biproduct of their natural gas production. I love their setup. This is what farming should be. Nothing left on the table, make money on everything you have to touch.

    Thanks Jan for giving us the opportunity to see the Walkers Farm set up. I am sure it must give you lots of ideas especially now that Mirjam has started to make cheese.

    While I always have enjoyed your dairy tours this might be my favourite so far. Cool to see an almost closed loop Canadian dairy farm producing consumer ready dairy products as well a RNG. I always ponder how you line these tours up and how willing some producers are to let strangers onto their farms. As someone who used to watch my uncle hand milk off a wooden stool to then later ride with my brother in law who worked for the Dairy Producers CO-OP and pick milk up in this area, I am impressed how this industry has evolved. One question I have never asked Jan is what label is your milk sold under? Great video, Thanks.

    We have a bottler in Appleton, Wisconsin "Lamers Daiy"where you can watch them bottle milk through a glass window. They still have glass bottles as well as plastic jugs. They used to deliver locally for years. That digester was cool. I hear that eventually every farm will be forced to have one.

  • @danvanhefty4689
    @danvanhefty4689 9 месяцев назад +1

    at NEWWater in Green Bay where I work the other use of those "CANDLES" as you call them, we call them flares, you also burn off the poor-quality gas. The easiest way to understand this process is to consider it like distilling alcohol. Those other buildings basically filter and clean the gas and the waste that isn't quality gas is burnt off in the flare. The high strength waste we add is whey from local cheese making process.

I would so much like to see the costings for it all and pay back periods etc. Sorry the accountant in me goes into overdrive seeing all that investment. Here in the UK there are Government Grants to install bio digesters.
    Do they recycle sand? With a bio digester does that mean there is no smelly lagoon. Have you had any thoughts to get a bio digester? How many cows do you have now for comparison?
    Nothing was said about the feed, it must take a lot of land to produce the food for 1700 cows.
