Straw not burned in Germany

feed warehouses, cattle barn, milking workshops, bio-power stations… the Germans have always followed the principle that straw is part of the natural value chain and has a place in the agricultural cycle. In the farm's straw, 1/4 is used for fodder, and the other 3/4 is used for laying the cow pen. After laying the cow pen, it is finally mixed with the cow's manure to become the fertilizer of the farm and fertile soil.
