Email address: SHOW NOTES KEY IDEAS:  Did you know that cattle are under attack?  If you are interested in raising livestock and farming, of course you did.  Animal rights and environmentalist groups are constantly trying to sway public opinion against the farming and consumption of cattle in any manner that they are capable of.  This includes claims of the overuse of water, poisoning of the food system, abuse of animals and global warming cause by methane emissions from cattle. For all of us trying to find our way in agriculture, we know intuitively what is going on.  But, what do we tell to our friends who are believing some of what they are hearing?  And, how do we refute the false science that is being put forward by these groups?  Who has time to do all of that research and engage in all of those debates when you already have to create off-farm income just to keep going? Luckily there is a farmer like Diana Rodgers.  Diana and her husband raise livestock, and she is devoting herself to debunking these anti-cattle myths with a fire that very few people possess.  Between her website sustainabledish.com, her upcoming book "Sacred Cow: The Case For Better Meat", the book by the same name and her podcast she is devoting countless hours of her life to putting a message out there to defend our bovine friends. In this episode Diana will explain the reason for the fight, what she is doing to combat this and how you can help. She will also talk about her own farming journey, and how that looks today as she is so busy creating content.  And, we will learn about how farming is taking place in one of the most expensive areas of the United States, the Boston Metro Area.
