Hazenberg Dairy Manure System

The project is under construction and built around a grant-supported, non-digester approach that improves nutrient use, reduces hauling, and positions the dairy for future sustainability opportunities.

A new bottom-pit removal system works with primary and secondary slope screen separation to capture most solids for drying and export on a large concrete slab, while liquids are directed to a lagoon and then pumped through underground pipelines for precise field application with reduced road traffic and runoff risk. The dairyman’s grant funding from a multinational group seeking carbon offset credits makes this level of manure handling attainable, with ROI driven by direct pumping and irrigation, captured nutrients, and significantly lower trucking and handling costs.
