What a great town and now they are famous for having the first poultry litter-fired power plant in the United States. More than 250 people and dignitaries attended the ceremonial Grand Opening. The 55 megawatt Fibromenn plant uses turkey litter as its main fuel. Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty said that they should be proud to host such a unique nationally renowned plant. Pawlenty stated "There's gold in that there turkey manure."
Maybe if they come up with something similar for horse manure, I could talk my husband into adding on to our herd of 12.
