Do you like my new Dutch friends? 🐄 🤩 The #manure from these cows is being used for energy production and is then turned into dried compost. A very cool manure processing system in the Netherlands! Seen on one of the tours for #RAMIRAN2025.

Just landed in the Netherlands and I'm getting my first glimpse of Dutch agriculture out my train window! I'm excited to learn about #manure management here at the #RAMIRAN2025 conference and represent @UMNExt, @UMNews, @UMNswac!

We have some exciting updates to share about #ManureDB this fall and will be sending out our periodic email newsletter soon. Sign up here to get on the email list: https://t.co/VFr1U7TCgy Screenshot of ManureDB's Data Explorer:

Can black soldier fly larvae eat up weed seeds in #manure?! Our pilot study found "probably not" for Palmer Amaranth, though a larger trial might be needed https://t.co/PvkTT1ccqo Congrats to the team that came up w/ this wild idea with me! @UMNswac @UMN_AgroPlant @FliesFacility

Today is the last day at the @UMNExt All-Extension Conference in Duluth! The @UMNmanure team enjoyed networking, celebrating our awardees and the amazing work they do, and learning more about how to communicate Extension's value to #MNag.

My colleague, Erin Cortus, an essential part of the @UMNExt #manure team, just won the Dean's Distinguished Award for Extension Faculty! #UMNproud to work with her to support #MNag research.
