So, I actually thought I was doing well educating my co-workers about animal ag. Until yesterday morning, that is. The conversation we were having quickly swung into the antibiotics, hormone, steroid topic regarding what we give our animals and the safety of the food supply.
Most of the conversation was focused on milk and poultry. As I told my coworkers, the USDA and we as farmers have STRICT guidelines regarding the use of antibiotics and hormones. You will not find any of them in any of the meat, eggs, or poultry you consume, and also in the milk you drink. You can feel confident, as I do, that you are feeding your family directly from the world's safest and most abundant food supply.
As a mom, that makes me rest easy.
Keep up the good work in dispelling the myths of agriculture!!
