Senators Tour State's Largest Dairy Farm

Senator Paul Doyle visited Oakridge Dairy in Ellington to learn about efforts by the dairy farmers to promote efficiency and renewable energy. H joined two other senators and Seth Bahler, a fourth generation farmer who took over Oakridge three years ago, for a tour of the current facilities, and learned about his extensive plans for the property, aimed at promoting efficiency and quality of life for the herd. A separate project is being planned to capture the naturally occurring methane in cow manure for conversion to electricity through a biochemical process called anaerobic digestion.
