I found Air Protein online after hearing “fake” meat — specifically air-grown meat — was highlighted at the Wall Street Journal’s Global Food Forum, and I think it’s a total scam.

A teacher told a student that he was a bad person for raising cows…

“The Punchy Bunch” is a poem written about some boys who are just too punchy for their own good — and don’t understand that the word “punchy” is not meant as a compliment.

I can’t write an excerpt/teaser blurb about this blog post because I keep getting too long-winded. Click the link to see my latest interaction with an anti-ag, screenshots and all.

Today, a friend sent me a screenshot of a Facebook post which read “Hello, does anyone know where I [can] purchase real cow’s milk? Not store milk, but from a real actual cow.”

At first, I thought *maybe* the Original Poster meant that they just wanted to purchase their dairy products farm to table. But as my friend confirmed, they did not — Original Poster genuinely thought milk purchased in a store was “fake” milk.

A few years ago I went vegan for the season of Lent as an experiment and, in turn, found out something totally unexpected.

When it comes to my column/blog and agriculture, I don’t often write about my mom. I think it’s because I don’t have as many photos of her on a horse as I do my dad but let’s be honest here… nothing I have ever done in my entire life would’ve been possible if it weren’t for her. So, here’s what you need to know about my mom, Kristi Jane Purviance, or “Mrs. P” as most of her former students call her on Teachers' Day.

Makenzie Raesner is spotlighted in the Corporate Cultivators series, a series dedicated to showcasing agriculturists of all kinds outside of the typical farmer/rancher stereotype we often see portrayed in the media. Raesner is an Own Brand manager at HEB, a Texas grocery store chain, and plays a vital role in making food go from the farm to your table.

Introducing “Corporate Cultivators,” a new series dedicated to showcasing agriculturists of all kinds outside of the typical farmer/rancher stereotype we often see portrayed in the media. It takes more than just a sodbuster or a cow-puncher to get food from our gate to your plate, this week’s blog post details some of those key players in the ag industry who often go unnoticed!

Elwood’s Organic Dog Meat is a social media brand and website used to sway meat-eaters to the vegan diet which advertises organic dog meat as a livestock producer would. It’s clever, I must admit, but totally sick. In this blog post, I try to combat resources such as Elwood’s Organic Dog Meat with well thought out, educational, fact-backed arguments.

I believe the Producer Partnership, my full time employer, is something great in a world focused on bad right now — and I want to tell y’all all about it.

…the title on this one is self-explanatory.

Seven years ago, I wore my blue and gold corduroy jacket for the last time. When I think of my time as an FFA member, like many people, I get nostalgic. The stories I could tell from that period of my life are sweet, some funny, and almost all too ag-nerdy for most people to want to listen to. So, in leu of sharing those memories, I’d like to share with y’all how my investment in being an FFA member is currently paying off for me in honor of National FFA Week.

It’s really simple: give a little to get a little in return.

A few years ago, "fake meat' vs. traditional meat was pretty much all anyone in agriculture talked about. It was a huge issue for me and many other agvocates out there.⁠

Two weeks ago, while on my honeymoon, I overheard a person look at their dinner guest and say, "what’s the point of the Beyond Burger anyway? It’s basically a real burger.” Which made me realize just how big of an issue some things can be for some people and how it's a non-issue for others.⁠

Today, I give my cliff notes and key points on the biggest differences between alternative proteins and traditional animal protein.⁠

Last week, the White House announced the Biden-Harris Administration’s Action Plan for “Fairer, More Competitive, and More Resilient Meat and Poultry Supply Chain.” In this week’s blog post, I do my best to educate you on what exactly this means for everyone from the barn cat to the consumer.

The past two years, I’ve published columns right around the new year with my predictions for the anti-ag agenda in the upcoming year. Following suit, today, I will give my 2022 trend predictions for what I believe the anti-ags will attack agriculture with.
