[johnseba]

A developer working on a green farm in AZ and he is looking for any good technology that he should look into for green cattle and chicken raising?

What do you suggest.

Good operators get cattle to market with a smaller carbon footprint than poor operators. Let the market work to have green cattle.

[grassfarmer]

Oh, I thought he meant green as in lacking condition.

[blackjack]

The price for green is going to rise in the near future.

we can't afford beef in the stores now, I don't see anyone paying more for green or organic.

[ProFarmer]

Beef is not expensive, the farmer is finally getting paid for what he works hard all year for. Average wage of 20 bucks an hour you can afford beef. Just stop paying for all the toys and trips you non beef producers have. If any thing price could go up more yet. And if you are in it for a fast green buck go back to your day job.

Happytrails the the way to get cattle to market with the lowest possible carbon footprint is by finishing them in a feedlot. And Grassfarmer when it comes to cattle your definition of "green" is the correct one IMHO

[ag-boy]

wasting time and money!!! !talking organic or so called green beef
tough meat, our large local supermarket -
told us last week , we always have past date of that meat left!!! and of course one day old it sold less than than our normal beef, yes this is same thing happened with milk , eggs and special organic spinach he said .
so what is the big deal all about ????
talking about grassfed ! we have 6 month winter in this country , no gras growing !!!!!!

BFW I'm with you 100% When they need what my ranch can't provide they're on a truck. .

[greybeard]

The reason A&W is pushing "Cleaner" beef is not because they may sell a few more burgers In Lacombe, it's because all the fastest growing chains in North America are using that marketing strategy.
You have to look over the horizon Ag -boy.
California has 40 million people.
Costco has 10 ft of cooler space for grass fed hamberger. Guess where they see the growing market?

First of all BFW I would like to congratulate you on your willingness to invest millions of dollars in the industry...must have a iron stomach.Though you have built up my curiosity in how you figure the feedlot industry leaves the lowest carbon footprint?
