Why does MANURE SMELL? IT’S THE GASSES!

AMMONIA - the release of nitrogen equal to about 40 units per acre from building losses and field application. HYDROGEN SULFIDE - one-third the loss of sulfur from manure. METHANE - the loss of carbon in high PH and anaerobic conditions.

ONE A.C. PIT PUCK will control the gasses in 10,000 gallons of liquid manure for $3.50

It is the gasses that destroy the steel and concrete, and cause explosions in your buildings!!

Gasses also cause coughing in hogs and workers!

Boyden-Hull High School and will help on catering jobs “if he has to.” “Jeff’s mom and dad are also very willing to help,” Melissa said. Friends assist if the occasion requires a plated dinner, but otherwise it’s an all-in-the-family operation. Melissa and Jeff met in west central Minnesota when he was visiting his cousin. She grew up on her family’s dairy farm at Pennock, Minn., a small town near Willmar. Jeff said, “I hardly ever get off the farm, so I don’t know how I ever got up there to meet her. She was snowmobiling with some of my cousin’s friends. That’s where we met.”

When Melissa started the catering business, they were living in his grandparent’s former home and the catering kitchen was in the basement. So, for six or seven years, they were hauling food, dishes and more up and down the stairs. In 2019, Jeff’s parents moved into Boyden and the couple built a new house on the home farm site.

In addition to the onsite catering jobs, making casseroles and baking goodies for families, Beyer Catering has also been selling individual freezer meals for several years. She said, “I used to have a whole bunch of calls from people who asked ‘Will you make meals for my mom? She lives alone.’ Or they want to give a bunch of individual meals to their widowed father for Christmas.” Jeff added: “Or somebody is just coming home from the hospital and they know they won’t be able to cook for awhile.” Melissa creates the individual portions from either specially-made casseroles or from leftovers from catering jobs. The meals are always available in a freezer in the Beyer’s garage and payment is by the honor system. Jeff said, “The freezer meals went over way bigger than we ever thought it would. It also makes sure the kids and I don’t have to eat leftovers for a couple of weeks.” Melissa describes her husband as a workaholic. Jeff said, “That’s why when we go on vacation she likes to get as far away from here as possible.” Between Christmas and New Year’s, the family drove to Florida. “I love the beach and the sun,” Melissa said. “I just love being where it’s hot. I don’t like winter at all.” While she’d like to spend her days relaxing on the beach, Jeff likes to stay active, going to places like Busch Gardens and Sea World. “Several years ago, when we took the kids to Disney, we were up bright and early, and we were at the
