Manure management regulations drive up costs for feedgrain producers and consumers.
Manure from farms can pollute water, so rules are in place to manage it better. The costs of handling manure can affect farmers and consumers. A study looked at how much it costs to move manure to land that can absorb it. They also studied how competition for land affects where manure can be spread. In the end, these costs could lead to changes in how farms operate and might affect what consumers pay for food.
