Jon and Dan Wiese are second generation owners of the 6,000-acre dairy just outside the town of Greenleaf. Manure management is one of the biggest challenges on the farm “We’ve researched how to remove water from the manure and dry it quicker.” The manure slurry is collected and stored in a reception tank.
