ITlaw OPERATIONAL PROGRAM FOR CATTLE FEED The site at Hwy P, known as Sylvester Sutter Farm, has a DNR ap- proved pond that is clay lined and designed to hold any run off, from the 3 cattle lots and paved areas around the barn and silo. It will be pumped out at the start of the fall season and again when ever it gets to approx. 18 to 24 inches from the top and spread on the farm fields. Nutrient tests will be taken at the effluent, as well as soils: as any good farmer would do, so as not to overload the soils with to much nutrients. There would not be any liquid leaving the site from the process- ing area, the product will absorb times the weight of the pre- processed material. Chemicals, soda ash and hydrogen peroxide will arrive in stain- less steel or aluminum tanks and be pumped by trained truck drivers, into approved storage tanks on the premises that are insulated and heated to prevent salting out. From this point, all lines are stainless steel, insulated and protected from damage or abuse. jory Most of the product will eventually be dried, reground and pelleted in combination with brewers grains, amatto seeds and some news- paper and lake weeds or other wastes found in the Madison area. Leaves will comprise some where between 30 to 50% of the total, with grass clippings being 10 to 15%, newspaper 10% maximum amatto seeds 10% maximum, brewers grain 10 to 20%, rice hulls or oat hulls 10% maximum. Food waste may comprise 5% as old bread or fruit and vegetables. Light brush 5 to 10% (see exhibit 7) . Current lamb feeding tests now on going at the University of Wisconsin sheep feeding station on campus by Dr. Combs, he will be our guide to a complete feed and proper % to use to get accept- able levels of nutrients from leaves. y /a 1 COIQI2
