There is so much noise and anti-livestock propaganda out there —- it’s good to look at the actual (and official) data. The US EPA is clear about livestock vs other (i.e. fossil fuel sector) emissions. Who is the 800lb gorilla?

IT'S. NOT. THE. COW. FARTS.

Nearly all enteric methane from cattle is from belching. Suggesting otherwise turns this serious climate topic into a joke.

Reducing methane is a HUGE opportunity. That should be a goal. But we shouldn't trivialize it for trendy marketing. #COWSMENU

“75% of millennials say they’d pay more for a sustainable product, but when they go to the supermarket that’s just not the case. What they say in a survey is different to what they’re actually buying” says James Madden #evokeAg

What if we stopped using the words #Farmer or #Grower or #Rancher and instead used FOOD PRODUCER?

When asked what do you do for a living? And you answered, Food Producer, the next question would be what kind of food do you produce?

With that next question, come a conversation.

When 10-year-old Stormy Mauldin stepped into the ring at the Fort Worth Stock Show Sale of Champions, she had no idea that her Duroc Barrow would sell for $20,000. But 3 Texas women selflessly banded together to raise money for exhibitors in the sale.

I would like to invite @joaquinphoennix to join me on my next dairy farm tour. Joaquin, I think you would enjoy meeting the people who provide for the world and seeing how these operations are run. They are genuine families who have the cows/calves best interests at heart.

Shearing is nothing more than a haircut 💇 and as long as there are sheep, shearing must be practiced for the health and hygiene of each animal! 🐑 https://t.co/2YpSfQOMAv

Can’t wait for the animal activists to run with this 😂

“You have two ways to view rural America,” Andrew McCrea says. “First, it’s dying and the legacy is crumbling. Second, these locations are vibrant and full of economic opportunities. Either view could be correct.”

🔎 Accounting for nutrient density, milk = 50% the GHG footprint of soya/oat drink 🥛

Tip: Lighten up #SuperBowl dips by subbing Greek yogurt for heavier ingredients, like creams and oils. It adds protein, too! https://t.co/5uSolvCUzO #undeniablydairy

Starbucks move on dairy is not about sustainability.

It’s about making affluent white people feel better about an $8 cup of status symbol.
