Our club visited Brubarker Farms this month for a very nice ride around the property. We saw the complete operation of a dairy farm that has learned to diversify to meet the needs of today's economy. You can read about their "digester" at http://www.lancasterfarming.com/node/1210
The digester takes waste materials with cow manure and creates electricity. They use the methane gas from the manure to generate power for several hundred homes. Luke Brubaker gave us a tour and we all learned a lot about agriculture.

My favorite was the no-till farming and the living fences along the creek. I was also impressed with the digester and seeing a newborn calf was a real treat.
