Ever bought any of that nice Milorganite fertilizer for your garden? Made in the USA, not China. Try to find in their description of how it's made that it's made from sewage sludge.
Milorganite is made right here in Milwaukee ( MILwaukee ORGanic NITrogen), but I'm pretty certain it's not used for food crops. Lawns and golf courses are the applications for Milorganite.
"Yes, Milorganite is an excellent and safe fertilizer for all plants that grow outdoors, including vegetables." From their website. I know a local garden shop sells it for all plants.
It's sold all over the state here too. My thought is it's too spendy for large scale ag use though. My wife's side of the family has several retired farmers and they only ever used straight cow manure for their fields asfaik.
Horse manure is good too. We have rabbits and their manure can be used uncomposted. You can burn plants with raw manure. You can buy bags of composted manure everywhere. I've never used Milorganite myself because of the price and I'm not gardening large acres. I like mushroom compost, also a bit pricy but I mixed it in the soil for my dahlia bed one year and the flowers exploded.
