The two men who introduced the concept of freezing and recycling poultry farm mortality on Delmarva shared their thoughts on the practice for this month’s Render magazine cover story.
Terry Baker and Victor Clark, co-owners of Millsboro-based Greener Solutions, were among those cited in the article. “We saw this [freezing/rendering model] as a win-win for the individual grower, the industry as a whole, and of course the environment,” said Baker.
Their company has been providing collection equipment and hauling services for growers since 2014, after proving the concept through a state-funded pilot project tied to the nutrient management benefits of the practice.
The international trade publication explored how the hybrid freezing/rendering model has come to be widely recognized as more biosecure for dead bird disposal than composting. The magazine interviewed growers, educators and industry representatives from across the nation.
