I was very excited to have finally turned out an article that stirred the ag community pot a bit. The article was a response to the Washington Post article by former Wisconsin dairy farmer, Jim Goodman. You can read mine here. You’ll want to make sure you get through that before continuing so you stay in the…
If you know me, you know I was less than thrilled with a few particular election results. Namely, this was the passing of Florida’s Amendment 13 and California’s Proposition 12. Both issues were more or less part of the same ultimate agenda – to eradicate the animal industries one little chip at a time. Every…
No questions about it, North Carolina is hurting after Hurricane Florence pounded her coastline. Hearts, of course, went out to each and every one of the victims affected. Beyond the human faces, there is also an infrastructure, economy and many livelihoods that will be set back years, perhaps even decades. One industry, an entire particular class, tends…
Editor’s note: Chances are you’ve encountered these kinds of arguments yourself. I’ve included lots of links in this article for your reference! I absolutely adore certain kinds of self-described “environmentalists” “vegan activists” and (insert various cause here) “advocates.” The issue I take with this particular crowd is that, when you look at their lives, you’ll…

The horse world has been abuzz with the new champion our race industry has graced us with. In case you live under a rock, I’m referring to a 3-year-old colt named Justify, the 13th winner of the Triple Crown. Photo Credit Justify isn’t just a holder of the elusive title, he’s a truly magnificent beast…
It finally happened. Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) activists are facing charges that could land each of them in prison for 15 years each. Thank you, Smithfield for finally doing what so many of us wanted to do but who didn’t have the means! As anyone involved with animal agriculture knows, DxE is a terrorist organization…
Author’s note: I realize that it’s a day late I finally have this up and posted. My apologies on that, I was having technical issues with my website but all is well now. This was too big a day not to celebrate! Get hype you guys! Today we kick off one of the best months…
