I’ve been meaning to post this article and have finally gotten around to it! I have heard Dr. Dan Thomson, Director of the Beef Cattle Institute and Associate Professor in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Kansas State University, speak before about animal welfare, and he contributes a very good perspective specific to the beef […]
West coast chef standing up for modern agriculture
I’m passing this on from my friend, Lance, who blogs at The Beef U Eat. I have not read this book, but looks like a good read! It’s not everyday that you will find a West Coast chef that is willing to go to bat for modern agriculture. Russ Parsons, the Los Angeles Times food […]
One hungry planet
I found this video from the Brownfield News blog who viewed this video at the recent Agricultural Solutions Media Summit. The blogger said, “A key topic there was addressing consumer and growers’ views of farmland stewardship and how chemical companies can assist in closing the perception gap.” This is one of the best fact-filled videos […]

The Center for Consumer Freedom released today a report showing just how much (or how little) of the millions of dollars poured into the Humane Society of the United States each year reaches local pet shelters in all 50 states. It’s called "Not Your Local Humane Society," and it includes some eye-opening statistics about how […]

As some of you have heard, an awful video of animal abuse on a dairy farm in Ohio was release by Mercy for Animals (similar to PETA or HSUS) The video was terrible and made my stomach ache…just after watching about 20 secsion I had to turn it off. Consumers need to know that this […]
One more reason to like Southwest Airlines
Most people like Southwest Airlines because of their coined, “Bags Fly Free!” phrase. No one likes to pay a baggage fee and Southwest is able to provide that free.

People really don’t know what HSUS is…
I found this great video on HumaneWatch.org.Share it with your friends and family. This Week in Agribusiness with Max Armstrong and Orion Samuelson (found on RFD-TV) just aired a series of “man on the street” interviews about HSUS. Watch as ordinary Chicagoans learn what’s what.
The Food Shortage Myth
I’m sharing this video from the Corn Commentary blog, who got the file from the Population Research Institute. This clever little video seeks to debunk the myth of overpopulation, but it also works for food versus fuel.
Animal welfare, even through Iceland’s volcano
I am in awe over the pictures I’ve seen from Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull volcano. This volocano, that affected millions of travelers around the world, even had the World Health Organization issue a health warning to Europeans, not to mention the health affects of locals. As I look at some of these pictures and think about animal […]
Misleading information on red meat nutrition
As part of my health insurance through working at a Nebraska state government agency, I had to participate in a biometric screening to take my pulse, height, weight, blood pressure…yada yada. It took about 10 minutes out of my day and really wasn’t a big deal….until I had to wait to get my results and watched […]
