Manure is very good fertilizer source if applied and used correctly. Many times livestock operations have way more manure than they can utilize on their own farming operations so I offer brokering services to sell there manure to local farms, and the purchaser of the manure can save more on fertilizer and increase yields if applied correctly.

If this manure was to be composted other markets appear such as organic farmers and landscapers. 2.1 Company Ownership Since the inception of the company in 2008 [YOUR NAME] has been the founder, current owner, and business manager.
