EXHIBIT 99.1

               Bion Announces Primus Builders as General Contractor
                           for Kreider Farms Project

May 5, 2009. New York, New York.  Bion Environmental Technologies, Inc.
(OTCBB: BNET) announced that it has selected Primus Builders, Inc.
(www.primusbuilders.com) as General Contractor for Phase 1 of its Kreider
Farms project in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.  Primus, based in Atlanta,
Georgia, will be responsible for coordinating all aspects of the project,
including permitting, design and construction.

Bion's comprehensive environmental waste treatment system will treat the
waste from Kreider's dairy operation to substantially reduce nitrogen and
phosphorus in the effluent, as well as ammonia emitted to the atmosphere.
Under Pennsylvania's nutrient trading program, credits will be earned for
these reductions that can be sold to offset the discharges of municipal
wastewater treatment plants in the region that are required to reduce their
discharges under the Chesapeake Bay Tributary Strategy.  Using credits in
lieu of costly plant upgrades will result in substantial cost savings to
Pennsylvania taxpayers and municipal ratepayers.

Bion will retain local engineering firms to perform the geotechnical (soils
and foundation) review and environmental site assessments for the project.
Additionally, local engineering firms will provide site survey, permitting
and structural infrastructure assessment services.  The waste treatment
design scope of the project is currently out for competitive bid in
accordance with the terms of the project's PENNVEST financing.
