We read a paper call Farmer in Chief, a open letter directed towards President Obama written about issues that our country is facing within agriculture. This reading was mostly surprising to me. A lot of facts within it were new to me, and some things left me questioning.
One of the main things that I was really surprised about was the fact that "milk and meat contribute 18% of all the US's GHG (green house gases), more then all transportation put together. I mean, WHAT?! This is never touched on within the media, everything is all "prius this, hummer that, oh my gosh al gore" and then I hear about Milk and Meat production being more of a valid problem? Why is this never touched on within the media? The average public must have no idea about this.
That was pretty much the most shocking part of this paper, but throughout the whole thing it was well prepared and had plenty of evidence to back up what he was saying, so I would definately reccomend this paper to my friends to learn something crazily interesting.
