Kompas Points

Like we talked about the dairy industry last time, this episode we dive a little deeper into the meat industry and the challenges they are facing. Once again I'm talking a little bit about the mindset of a beef farmer at this time, the process, why there seem to be shortages, as well as how people like yourself can help keep beef farmers in business. Butchers, beef farmers, and big plans oh my! I hope you enjoy, and as always if there are any questions shoot me a message on Facebook!

Why are farmers dumping milk? Why are we completely out of dairy products on our grocery store shelves? Just why! This week I'm diving a little deeper into some explanations and answers of why we're seeing what we are seeing on the news. From explaining the process of how milk becomes these products on the shelves, to walking through the thought process of a dairy farmer at this time, we're going to get to it all. This episode was originally a video, so about halfway through the episode I do begin gesturing at a white board for a visual aid, so if you want to go check that out on my Facebook page it should make a lot more sense! Hope you enjoy!

Welcome back to Kompas Points! This week I'm diving in a little deeper into the perception of a shortage of eggs during the pandemic, the different vocabulary that is associated with eggs, and a few other things to try and make some sense of what's happening. Still have questions after you listen? Feel free to reach out on social media, or to me directly via email ([email protected]) and I'd be happy to elaborate further. I hope to see you back here next time!

Welcome to Kompas Points, a series of short talks based on topics in the agriculture world. Whether that be farming, animals, how certain markets are being affected by the pandemic, regenerative farming, or anything in between these talks are not meant to be lectures. They are meant to be a short, sweet and to the point explanation of topics in a way that is easily understood. The idea behind them is to educate people of all backgrounds based on the information I have found in my own research and my own experiences. I hope you enjoy and stay tuned for the next one!
