Nicholas Meat can weather a pandemic, but the actual weather is a different story.
The central Pennsylvania meat processing plant temporarily ceased operations at its Loganton plant Feb. 23 following a Department of Environmental Protection compliance order prohibiting the company from applying processing waste to snow-covered fields.
The plant processes about 600 dairy cull cows and bulls each day. Brian Miller, director of sustainability at Nicholas Meat, said DEP has permitted the facility to apply the residual waste, which is mostly wash water, on snowy fields for the last 10 years. But this weekâs order brought the practice to an abrupt halt.

Still looking for that “something else” gift for readers? Here’s a brief look at some books that might fulfill your quest.
•Fredrik Bachman, author of the ever-popular “A Man Called Ove” and “My Grandmother Told Me to Say She’s Sorry,” has released a touching novel about life, “Anxious People.”
He writes realistically, making his character live on the pages, and deals with the highs and lows of life in a now-humorous, now-sensitive manner. All in all, the book is being received very well by readers.
•I first discovered Christopher Paolini after he wrote about dragons as a 19-year-old. His self-published “Eragon” became a movie and he followed it up with other books of the genre. Now, in the fullness of maturity as a writer, he’s introduced “To Sleep in a Sea of Stars,” a wide-open sci-fi novel about the harrowing search for life on an uncolonized planet as war erupts among the worlds on the stars.
