It would be interesting to look at the fatality rate of Cafo hogs, hens, and dairy and non-dairy cows of singular genetics versus pasture raised heirloom breeds. Someone once pointed out (correctly or not?) that the genetics of todays livestock is so inbred that collapse is inevitable?

Thank you! Interested to see the Iowa fatality comparison with Wisconsin and Minnesota. It’s shameful that our governor had such a careless regard for human life.

Thank you for pointing this discrepancy out!

How can we get these facts and revealings to the farm community?

As a semi retired agriculturist I will be happy to support also with some facts! (I am a lousy writer)

Please feel free to contact me!

Government is only used to protect products, not consumers/people.

And I like how Reynolds can trust Iowans to do the right thing relative to COVID, but not abortions. She is something else.
