Using food processing plant waste on fields (1990)

Food processors, such as dairy processing plants, are pretreating processing wastes to reduce waste loads discharged to municipal treatment plants. Many of these food processors have installed waste treatment facilities. These facilities may generate sludges that can benefit farmers when used as a liming material or as a nutrient additive to fields. Sludge or biomass from treatment at dairy plants contains microbial matter, water and some minerals. The microbial matter contains nitrogen and phosphorus, which are usable plant nutrients that can benefit agriculture instead of just being landfill waste. This guide, based on MU research, provides information on using the waste or lime stabilized biomass (LSB) from food processing plants for liming fields.New 7/90/7M

Winter wheat, 1988

"August 1988.""The objective of the Missouri wheat performance testing program is to help Missouri growers select varieties best suited for their areas and conditions. The University of Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station in conjunction with the Missouri Seed Improvement Association and entrants from private companies all cooperate in evaluating public and private wheat varieties and hybrids for the state of Missouri.
