A simple step that leads to gardening success, composting is one of our winter projects. Anything biodegradable goes in, which mainly includes kitchen scraps, animal by-products, and garden debris. 
When you are working with 20 acres, that's a lot of leaves! Shredded, they create an a heavy insulating layer that traps the heat and speeds up the decomposing. Every now and then, the pile gets turned, adding oxygen to the equation, which also speeds up the decomposition.
In the spring, the compost is added to the vegetable gardens.
