Woodland, where do you find the rail grade price.

Here’s where we find it. We sell our yearlings through them and have occasionally sold loads of cull cows directly to the plants.

You need to look at the bigger picture, a shift to "plant based" meat will not help grain prices, in fact it will depress markets. How many millions of acres are in forage production? You want a shift on them to grain acres? Less feed grain demand equals more acres of pulses and milling grains which translates to lower prices. Then what about downgraded pulses and grains, feed market is now limited so lower bids.

As for your comment on the Singapore company it is not plant based, it is lab grown. Completely different product and to livestock producers likely more of a potential problem as it is actually meat tissue, grown artificially, but still meat where a veggie burger is still a veggie burger.

The "ick" factor and the high cost of lab production are the only things saving the meat industry in the near term. Who knows long term.

Slightly off topic but didn’t somebody on another thread recently say there’s not much forage/pasture land left that can be broken up? Jazz maybe?

Amazing what could show up to be breakable if there were new markets with premiums to make it enticing for a couple of years.

Farmers; Not always the ones known to practice foresight.

Because it validates stupid people's beliefs that they can save the planet one cow burp and fart at a time.....

Branding branding branding...... and not with the strike of a hot iron!!!!

Beyond Meat was clever. How appealing would "Meat Substitute" sound?

I wonder how well accepted lab meat would be if "Monsanto" developed it?

Or if it was labeled "genetically modified".

It will never pass through my lips! I haven't even tried a plant based meat replacement yet.....although I would find it many many more times easier to swallow...... just knowing it's more "natural".

That discussion i think was more about clearing bush land, not tame forage.

McDonalds is promoting sustainable beef in a new commercial. Better than A+W's, but both are good for the beef industry.
