So grassy , do you have a cattle drive to get your cattle to market ? Or are they shipped by truck ?

[grassfarmer]

Of course not, we have to be realistic. I can produce fat cattle off grass here with a heck of a lot less fossil fuel use than the average. Born here, grown here, fattened here on forage then shipped to the butcher versus rancher shipping calf to auction, shipped from auction to backgrounding and then to finishing feedlot, grain trucked into feedlot, manure trucked out of feedlot. The commodity cattle model is a fossil fuel burner and the cow doesn't need that.

Ive wondered aloud lately that the beef producer in Canada at least, will have to be more of a grass fed model in order to sell the worlds already most expensive protein to the people here that will pay for it.
Using less feed grains. Arguably more efficient I suppose.
Applying those same holistic techniques to the rest of our acres that now produce cash crops ultimately for export; would be a long process leaving the industry looking very different. Possibly even impossible with current technology.
Interesting to note. I have a relation currently employed in China to help develop feedlots for (I believe) a large dairy producer there.
What we tear down with glee and abandon, the majority of the world is racing to build.
I think if your lucky or smart enough to work yourself into a semi-insulated niche, then for christs sake stick to your own knitting.

So, gas farmer, what exactly is your beef about SF3 removing fence line trees when you apparently agree with your quoted study that boreal forest land contributes to global warming. Should he not be given credit for eliminating a harm.

What's your beef about high grass plain farmers from removing non-tropical trees from their property.

It was stated today on facebook news that males receive their intelligence from their mother's X chromosome. Clearly, that explains JT's problem.

Apparently the well kept secret is: work is being done, and time will tell. Hope springs eternal.

It is not about the environment, it is only about tax revenue to pay off left wing voters. Going to need tax revenue to pay off unfunded snivel service pension liability. Farmers are not a big enough voting block and generally don't vote left so nothing in it for us.

The revolution in agricultural sphere reaches its apogee:[URL="http://bigpaperwriter.com/blog/revolution-in-agricultural-sphere-of-life"]http://bigpaperwriter.com/blog/revolution-in-agricultural-sphere-of-life[/URL]. This material is rather advanced, as well as requires some knowledge of agricultural terms.
