Video: Penn State Helps Turkey Farmer Blaze Path

When Pennsylvania farmer Mac Curtis stopped and evaluated his turkey operation in Snyder County, he realized he needed to do something about his high heating bills, comfortability of his birds and compliance with federal mandates to clean up the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. Curtis quickly discovered the Litter Incinerator Hot Water Boiler-- a piece of equipment that was sure to help him reach his goals-- but knew he couldn't afford it on his own. He turned to Denise Bechdel with Penn State Outreach's Small Business Development Center.
