Bos & Herrema Dairies

Bos and Herrema Dairies are part of a four-dairy partnership where improved manure management techniques have been phased in throughout. Bos and Herrema’s operations include plug-flow anaerobic digesters, electricity generation, and beneficial use of the digested solids. Some dairies use the solids onsite for cow bedding. This practice saves the dairies money since they no longer need to buy bedding materials, and also reduces environmental impacts since the material does not need to be trucked offsite for sale.
