Abstract

Brey Egg Farm is a third-generation, family owned and operated egg farm in Jeffersonville (Sullivan County), NY. The farm has 200,000 laying hens that produce 60,000 pounds of manure daily. The overall reduction in farmland across the state and increased use of that land for second homes and tourism has made field spreading of manure more difficult. Due to the high cost of hauling, nuisance complaints, and Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations regulations farms are looking for feasible alternatives.
