as Value-Added
Product; Explore
Possible Marketing
Opportunities
Attention, poultry producers:
your excess poultry litter could
be sold as a value-added product,
increasing your bottom line and
reducing nutrients reaching the
Chesapeake Bay.
If this sounds interesting
to you, get the full scoop at a
Growers Meeting to be held
Tuesday, August 26 at 7 pm. at
the Plains District Community
Center, 233 McCauley Drive,
Timberville, Virginia.
A consultant team from regions
1,8 and 9 of the West Virginia
Planning and Development
Council will facilitate the meeting.
Discussions will include:
nutrient management planning
and local land application of litter;
how much excess litter is in the
Virginias; a business plan proposal
that considers the formation of a
poultry growers cooperative to
process and sell excess poultry
litter; collection and processing of
the poultry litter; possible markets
and interests; anticipated poultry
litter products available for sale;
financial considerations for such
an enterprise and possible return
on investment.
The meeting is sponsored
in part and refreshments will
be provided by the Contract
Poultry Growers Association of
the Virginias.
