Subject: Digester Funding for All Size Dairies
Comment:
[The following was a comment submitted via email during the December 13, 2017 subgroup #2 meeting] From: Lynne McBride Affiliation: California Dairy Campaign Our organization believes it is critically important to ensure that dairies of all sizes have access to public dairy digester funding and urges that a greater focus is placed on the importance of clustering digester projects to encompass average size dairy operations. The average herd size in CA as of 2016 was 1249 cows per dairy and yet public digester funding has not been made available to dairies of this size. We understand that dairy digester developers are most interested in funding larger scale projects. However, in terms of public policy, we think it is important for public funds to be made available to average size dairy operations. If the public digester funding trend continues, it could dramatically alter the economic landscape for average size dairy operations. Also as CA seeks to be a leader in this area across the country and the world, it is important to demonstrate that dairy digester projects are feasible for dairies of all sizes.
