Ellen will discuss a project to decrease the amount of manure currently going to landfills by working with composters to identify stables surrounding their location and developing economical “Manure Runs” to have the manure hauled to the composter.

Ellen holds a B.S. in agronomy with an emphasis on soil fertility from the University of Illinois and a M.S. in soil management from Iowa State University.
