5D Farm project will process dairy manure feedstock and convert the dairy manure to domestic produced

successful award of the BDAP Grant a wastewater and nutrient management Integrated Demonstration Unit
component will be added. The addition of this Integrated Demonstration Unit (IDU) system will add additional
revenue to the project, reduce dairy costs and prove out the commercial viability IDU system for future
applications on other farm
