The Midwest Manure Summit has been held biannually since 2009, with its roots originating from a local UW-Extension Manitowoc & Sheboygan Counties 2007 Innovative Manure Management Meeting supported by a “Dairy Industry Revitalization-USDA Cooperative States Research Extension Education Service” Grant. The purpose of the Summit is to provide innovation, research, and solutions to producers in the handling and storage of manure, economically and sustainable.
