Murray County chicken farmer develops waste disposal system
Roy Damron of Murray County runs an automated waste disposal system for 26,000 laying hens. Concrete gutters drain into a covered pit, with water from overhead fountains creating a continuous drip. Bacteria treat the waste for use as fertilizer, reducing odor and runoff. REAP funded 30 percent of construction. Damron plans to analyze fertilizer at the Noble Foundation and may adjust composition. The system, among the first in the county, supports a small-scale farming operation and fertilizer business using a 1,000-gallon Honey-Wagon sprayer.
