My nose for offbeat news has taken me to a corn field in the middle of California’s Central Valley, where something’s missing — I’m not smelling the back side of a cow. Usually you can’t escape the aroma of bovine urine and feces as you drive along Interstate 5 or State Route 99, traversing America’s most productive farmland, where crops grow and cows crap. This valley is America’s breadbasket and the nation’s top dairy region.
wow! that's an incredible development! which begs the question of when will they take even a portion of the poop to make a "smoothie" that can be distributed thru farm plumbing to the various crops? likewise the chicken feet or fish heads could go thru (their own) blender for another smoothie nutrient?
Hi Jane! Thanks for another wonderful report! I do have a couple of questions that I wish you had asked. First, "How will this affect the aquifer?" Cow urine also contains things like antibiotics. What will be the effect on the aquifer after a decade of drip irrigation, and are they monitoring that?

You get the most interesting topics! Cow urine?!
Very interesting
Very interesting story 👍 . Maybe there IS hope for the planet 🌏. I hope this system gets utilized worldwide.
Great story. Urine the right business
Innovations like this will become increasingly important. But, Jane, how did your nose for news detect a story about fertilizer that has no scent?
