From Poop to Profits - Full Video
It's fun when you can take a raw product that had no value and turn it into a product that has extreme value in the marketplace." - Brad Morgan
From Poop to Profits is more than a "rags to riches" story. It's a story of successful entrepreneurship -- a primer on creative and innovative thinking.
Farmer Brad Morgan faced bankruptcy. Like many businesses across America, the Morgan family farm was challenged with high expenses and falling income. With his back to the wall, Morgan was forced to look at things from another perspective. They were spending over $20,000 yearly to dispose of manure. Could this expense be turned into a profit?
In his quest to capitalize on an untapped market, Morgan utilized many rules of successful entrepreneurship. He used resources already available, including raw materials, equipment and personnel. He hired experts to help when necessary. And he never accepted "average."
Now Brad Morgan has much larger goals than just "making ends meet." Like all business owners, he is working to create lasting success, while supplying customers with the best quality product on the market.

Just to correct, the sentence should've been stated either " *help teach entrepreneurship* " or " *help entrepreneurship to be learned* ". I hope you *learn* something from it and become a better *teacher* .

Yeah I know I am 4 years late at seeing this. 50 years ago my folks sold the dairy farm I was raised on. And 16 years as I was, had no say about keeping the farm. And when a farmer , farming family go for near losing to a turn around, and become successful with continuing growth and profit, makes me very happy for them.
Why don't you also make compost with red wiggler worms at the the same time? When the manure goes through their digestive tracks they create an immunity in the soil that is the best soil additive you can get.

Because the cost of disposing of the poop was 25000 per year that turned into a 1.5 million sales business.

Do the cows eat gmo feed or grass. If they do. Composting wont kill it. And hurt peoples gardens.

Maybe instead of putting businesses against each other for the benefiet of “the customer” we could create a system to capitalize on waste streams on a communal non competitive way.
