Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, White House Council on
Environmental Quality Chair Nancy Sutley, and Wisconsin Governor Jim
Doyle will tour
Crave Brothers Farm and Dairy Operation in Waterloo, Wisconsin Friday to see bioenergy in action.
Crave Brothers is an example of a successfully operated modern dairy, using
green energy sources to power the farm, cheese factory and 120 area
homes. Crave Brothers Dairy Farm and its cheesemaking enterprise, Crave
Brothers Farmstead Cheese, have a computer-controlled
anaerobic digester system that generates electricity from biogas created by
organic waste from their 750 pampered and productive Holsteins.
The Administration and State officials will discuss the
opportunities for rural America to embrace science and lead efforts to
create clean energy jobs, achieve energy independence, mitigate climate
change, and transition to a clean energy economy.
Congratulations to the Crave family - and sign up to meet Debbie and George Crave in person at SPLASH! on October 26, 5-8 PM, Discovery World, Milwaukee.
