The third biennial Regional Manure Handling Expo was held in Waseca, Minnesota on August 11, 2005 at the University of Minnesota Southern Research and Outreach Center. The first two events were held in Prairie du Sac, WI, in 2001 and 2003, where they attracted nearly 1,000 manure applicators, farmers, and vendors from across the Midwest.

This year’s theme was Manure Handling in the 21st Century and highlighted all of the newest technologies that preserve manure nutrients, enhance the profitability of manure application, and protect the environment.

Over 700 visitors to Manure Expo 2005 participated in a full day (8-5) of field equipment demonstrations, vendor displays, and education sessions. The rain kept attendance down at the show but those who attended were well satisfied with the broad range of manure handling information that was available.
