Mondak Area Stockgrowers will hold its annual meeting and dinner Monday, November 19 at the Sidney Country Club . The social takes place at 5:30p.m. folowed by a beef entre dinner prepared by ‘The Fringe’. Ms. Jude Capper will present, “Despite the drought, US beef production is green.”
Jude L. Capper, Ph.D. is an independent Sustainability Consultant based in Bozeman, MT; and an Adjunct Professor of Animal Sciences in the Department of Animal Sciences at Washington State University.
Jude’s current research and outreach work focuses on modeling the environmental impact of livestock production systems, specifically dairy and beef. Her principal professional goal is to communicate the importance of livestock industry sustainability and the factors affecting sustainability to enhance the knowledge and understanding of stakeholders within food production from the rancher and farmer through to the retailer, policy-maker and consumer.
Current research projects include comparisons of historical and modern production practices in dairy and beef industries; and the effect of technology use and management practices upon environmental impact. She has an active social media presence and spends a considerable amount of time de-bunking some of the more commonly-heard myths relating to resource use and the environmental impact of livestock production.
Dinner is $15 per plate for anyone who renews their membership, or becomes a new member, $20 for others.
Many door prizes will be given away. If any farm or ranch wishes to sponsor a door prize, please bring it to the meeting.
