sounds like a beef operation.
I've been to a few dairy farms that; -have ~7500 cows, -milk 24-7-365, -feed 2 tractor trailer loads of hay every day, -have a vet on staff that does 10 c-sections a week, -produce all their own electricity using a metane powered 25KW generator amazing stuff

When driving for Maverick, I delivered a load of hay to a dairy. The guy that unloaded me got to talking about bio-fuels and such. Although they didn't have it there, he was telling me of some of the dairy farmers who were taking advantage of all the methane gas emiited from the manure. I don't recall how they were using it, but I would think to run a generator would be one of the best uses.
During the conversation, he also told me how every farmer in the area knew full well what an absolute joke ethanol is...but they were planting everything they had in corn simply because the ethanol boom was pushing corn prices up. This was in west/central IL, just east of St. Louis.

I don't think so...but then again, a gay farmer in Maine once told me it's not a good idea to bend over in his barn :shock:
