Great example here that one area of land can support crop & animal agriculture. It’s a false dichotomy to assume they are always separate. Livestock provide circularity to the food, fiber, and biofuels system.

Replying to @drsplace
This paddock has fed 300-800 animals over 4+ months after harvest and before sowing the next crop. Making use of missed grain, weeds and crop residue and preventing a mice plague.

The 4 companies that control much of US beef net $1100 per cow. Farmers..$100. Buy direct, people.

Replying to @SchwabMatt
Recent data. Packer margins are $1,100+ per animal. Farmer margin is $100, maybe. Why would anyone sell to this folks?

For every $1 spent on food, only 14 cents goes to farmers. Now is the time to transform our food system to create a fairer, more transparent system, so at the end of the day more of that dollar ends up in a farmer's pocket.

In documents dating to 2006, government officials predicted that a pandemic would threaten critical businesses and warned them to prepare. Meatpacking companies largely ignored them, and now nearly every one of the predictions has come true. buff.ly/31f5CNP

For some farmers who sell to local markets, the closure of restaurants and schools has been compounded by farmers market closures. By some estimates, local and regional food markets could see a drop in sales of $688M between March and May. washingtonpost.com/news/vora…
