UpstreamEnvironmentEnvironment
What this service
helps you do
identify pollution and compliance risks
improve storage, handling and timing
find safe reuse and nutrient opportunities
prioritize practical environmental actions
build a resource and compliance roadmap
When you may
need this service
manure storage is constrained or leaking
runoff, odor or wastewater concerns are present
land application is difficult to plan
a farm expansion needs environmental evidence
you need to prepare for permitting or investment
What we
assess
manure, slurry and wastewater generation
storage capacity, integrity and separation
drainage, runoff and water protection
collection, transfer and application systems
nutrient reuse, land base and timing
records, compliance and emergency response

AdvisoryManure & Environmental Management Assessment
Dairy Grid: Where This Advisory Is Used
Grid level · Business / unit
- A Family Farm — used
- Standard Family Dairy Farm Unit
- B Village Center — used
- Manure Collection & Resource-Recovery Business
- C Municipality Center — not used
- D Province Hub — not used
- E Country-HQ — not used
Role in the Grid
Dairy Grid uses this advisory to assess on-farm manure removal and temporary storage alongside daily village-level collection. It reviews the technical and environmental requirements for transfer to shared resource-recovery operations.
Network value
Defined handling interfaces support clean farm operation and viable shared recovery systems without assuming unconfirmed by-product income.
Embedded delivery. Within Dairy Grid, this capability is embedded in the relevant Unit/Package or network operating model and is not promoted as a separate add-on to members.

02Operations serviceManaged Farm Environmental Operations
Manage the farm's environmental outputs across manure collection and storage, processing or resource recovery, wastewater, land application, environmental monitoring and mortality handling. The service coordinates daily material flows with storage capacity, treatment and field-use constraints so environmental work is controlled as part of farm operations rather than handled only when storage or compliance problems occur.
View service
03Engineering serviceManure Collection & Storage Design
Design how manure is collected from animal areas, transferred across the farm and stored safely until treatment, use or removal. Pumping, agitation and the selected storage method are sized together to match manure characteristics, farm layout and storage period.

04Implementation serviceManure Collection Implementation
Install the systems that move manure from animal areas toward storage or treatment, including scrapers or collectors, channels, pumps, agitation and transfer equipment. The implementation coordinates barn-floor interfaces, mechanical or hydraulic transfer, controls, safe access and connection to downstream storage or processing for reliable daily manure removal.
