Agricultural waste poses a challenge for farmers, even if the subject does not garner a lot of attention outside of rural areas. Farms generate enormous amounts of organic waste, including crop residues, fruit peels, sawdust, and livestock manure. Farmers must decide how to get rid of agricultural waste legally and economically.
If not disposed of properly, farm waste can pollute the environment, particularly the air and waterways like rivers and streams.

The following are some considerations for putting farm waste to good use.
