Abstract: An automated computer-controlled sampling system and related methods for collecting, processing, and analyzing agricultural samples for various chemical properties such as plant available nutrients. The sampling system allows multiple samples to be processed and analyzed for different analytes or chemical properties in a simultaneous concurrent or semi-concurrent manner. Advantageously, the system can process soil samples in the “as collected” condition without drying or grinding. The system generally includes a sample preparation sub-system which receives soil samples collected by a probe collection sub-system and produces a slurry (i.e. mixture of soil, vegetation, and/or manure and water), and a chemical analysis sub-system which processes the prepared slurry samples for quantifying multiple analytes and/or chemical properties of the sample. The sample preparation and chemical analysis sub-systems can be used to analyze soil, vegetation, and/or manure samples.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a bioreactor for drying biogenic residues to a dry mass comprising filling the residues into a bioreactor filled with spheres and mixing the spheres and the residues so that films of the residues form on the surfaces of the spheres, drying the films of residues with the formation of crusts of dry mass with a residual water content on the surfaces of the spheres by feeding a drying medium into the bioreactor,
grinding and further drying the dry mass by mixing and grinding off powdery dry mass from the spheres.

Abstract: An example fluid moving device for manure agitation in a pit located beneath a confinement building can include: a boom extending vertically into a pump-out wall of the pit; and a mechanism for extending horizontally into a main chamber of the pit to provide agitation. In some examples, the device can also include a self-propelled mechanism for moving along a surface.

Abstract: An automated computer-controlled sampling system and related methods for collecting, processing, and analyzing agricultural samples for various chemical properties such as plant available nutrients. The sampling system allows multiple samples to be processed and analyzed for different analytes or chemical properties in a simultaneous concurrent or semi-concurrent manner. Advantageously, the system can process soil samples in the “as collected” condition without drying or grinding. The system generally includes a sample preparation sub-system which receives soil samples collected by a probe collection sub-system and produces a slurry (i.e. mixture of soil, vegetation, and/or manure and water), and a chemical analysis sub-system which processes the prepared slurry samples for quantifying multiple analytes and/or chemical properties of the sample. The sample preparation and chemical analysis sub-systems can be used to analyze soil, vegetation, and/or manure samples.
