It seems everyone in agriculture these days is speculating about when the industry will make a turn for the better.

John Lawrence, Ph.D., a specialist at the Iowa Beef Center, is one of the many industry experts weighing in on the current state of the beef cattle business today.

Being a runner, I subscribe to several magazines on the subject, including the popular Runner’s World. Because of the extreme South Dakota cold temperatures we’ve had the last couple of weeks, I’ve been stuck inside on the treadmill to get my daily run in. While I was running the other day, I flipped through the pages of the Jan. 2010 edition of Runner’s World, and I was excited to see an article that praised meat and dairy products! In an age where many health magazines misunderstand the nutrition power-pack of these products, Runner’s World got it just right!

To wrap up the week, I thought I would share a blog entry from the Vegetarian Star that might pique your interest.

However, you might be surprised to learn that one entry is about me and this little old blog. In their blog spot, “Kellie Pickler Sparks Veggie Hate Among Country Folk,” I’m referred in the comments section as “just one nut case with a blog.” Read on for an excerpt…Enjoy!
