LEADERS EXPRESS CONCERN OVER AMERICAN ROYAL PROGRAM

by WLJ

According to the Kansas Livestock Association (KLA) Executive Vice President Dee Likes and American Angus Association CEO Bryce Schumann met recently with the executive committee at the American Royal to express concern over the show’s planned emphasis on locally produced food program slated for this year’s show. The concern about the planned Good Food Good Futures Institute stems from the stated initiative to "reorganize agriculture" by moving away from conventional production and more toward natural, organic and more "environmentally sustainable" operations.

The beef groups told American Royal leaders that mainstream ranchers and feeders don’t oppose natural, organic or locally produced systems, but they are concerned when marketers disparage conventional meat and agricultural products in an effort to create differentiation. These are growing segments of agriculture, but represent only a single-digit percentage of food production. Beef executives emphasized farmers and ranchers involved in conventional agriculture, which includes most producers, will be challenged to meet projections that food production needs to double by 2050 in order to feed the expected growth in world population.

It's great to see people fighting the HSUS and it's about time! Here's hoping they get nailed and exposed for what they really are..liars and thieves.
 
Everyone knows this is not about Clean Air or any other climate related issue. Everyone also knows that it is about raw power. This administration knows that the 2010 election (If allowed to proceed) is going to turn the balance of power drastically back to Congress and Obama will be a lame duck. This must all be in place before the election cycle begins after the first of the year, Couple this with ObamaCare and all the corruption surrounding this President and you can all address one another as "Comrade"!
