The world today is growing at a way too rapid pace for natural production of animals. The days of animals happily roaming around Grandma’s farm are over.…

The combination of herbicides and genetically modified seed has made my farm more sustainable, not less, and actually reduces the pollution I send down the river.” (Hurst)…
