 Feathers are one of many potentially valuable byproducts wasted every day by disposal in landfills when they could be effectively used in agriculture. Name several more useful byproducts. See Agricultural Uses of Municipal, Animal, and Industrial Byproducts online at http://www.ars.usda.gov/is/np/agbyproducts/agbyintro.htm (and see the news release about this book at http://www.ars.usda.gov/is/pr/1998/980428.htm) |
