definitely great news! I just read the email a few minutes ago. As always, thanks for doing everything you do for the hobby!

Have a good one Troy!

That is good news, but very unfortunate for the affected flock and the owner, though. It will still be awhile before the owner will be back in business.
I have a newbie question: in the conference call minutes it states that "the de-populated flock is being composted in-barn.' and "The compost pile quickly reached the critical temperature for biological heat treatment.". I'm curious how that's done; i.e., what is used to bring the compost temperature up to critical levels?

Thanks Troy!

As I understand it ... they utilize heaters ( usually propane similar to commercial brooder hoods ) .. this raises the temperature along with mother nature helping as of late.. they are ahead of the game...
