A Lie Agreed Upon
Tuesday Feb 27, 2024
Tuesday Feb 27, 2024
As I’m sure you’ve noticed, much of the world has bought into the lie that cattle are destroying the planet. With things like USDA’s climate smart commodity project, natural asset companies, and carbon credits, it makes you wonder, has the cattle industry itself bought into that same lie? Independent journalist Jim Mundorf with Lonesome Lands joins us to discuss these hot topics, how mandatory ID and the checkoff play into this, and how we push back.
