Our 3 Favorite Farm-Related Videos This Week

Ok, ok… Not all of these came out this week.  But they’re all awesome.  Sorry we couldn’t embed all of them – we’re working on it!

This short clip from Fix Food is a great response from a conventional Indiana farmer on why GMOs should be labeled.  Very compelling…

This next movie comes from a Great Falls tv station…  Farmers getting antsy about getting a Farm Bill approved are protesting Denny Rehberg – the House is the hold up and producers are not happy.  Check it out here.

And last, but not least, a shout out to the Colbert Report for tellin’ it like it is about the drought in Iowa and our nation’s dependence on corn!  My favorite quote?

Bruce Babcock: You’re not going to need to worry about soda pop and corn chips or corn on the cob.  What you’re going to need to worry about is the eggs and chickens and dairy products, the mozzarella cheese on your pizza, beef and pork products.  That’s where you’re going to see the impact.

Stephen Colbert: Excuse me, Mr. Babcock, I don’t know how to break this to you, but eggs… are made of egg…

Bruce Babcock: Eggs are about 70% corn.  You feed the chickens a high ration of corn, then there’s a high percentage of corn in that egg.

Tell it like it is, boys!  Watch it here.

local food movement, markets

I am loving this article in Forbes magazine about how Millenials (basically everyone between 10 – 30) are going to change the food system.

As the author says, “Yes, Millennials still prefer cheaper food, and want it to be convenient.  But they are also more willing to pay for fresh and healthy food, and are willing to go to great lengths to find it.  And they are also more aligned with the “food movement” and love things like organic farms, small batch jams and artisanal cheese.  This shift – by millions of people – could change the market place forever (don’t forget – they will be teaching their children to eat this way too) as power is shifted from large mass market companies and brands to “the little guy” selling online or at the local corner store.”

You know it!
