2.Why MoreFarmers AreSwitching toGrass-Fed Meatand Diary[A]Though hedidnt comefrom afarming family,from ayoung ageTim Josephwasfascinated by the ideaof livingoff theland.Reading magazineslike TheStockmanGrass Farmerand Graze,he gothooked on the ideaof grass-fed agriculture.The ideathat all energy and wealthcomes from the sunreally intriguedhim.He thoughttheshorter thedistance betweenthe sunand theend product,the higherthe profitto thefarmer.[B]Joseph wantedto putthis theoryto thetest.In2023,he andhis wifeLaura launchedMaple Hill Creamery,an organic,all grass-fed yogurtcompany innorthern New York.He quicklylearned whatthe markethas demonstrated:Demand for grass-fed productscurrentlyexceeds supply.Grass-fed beefis enjoyinga25-30%annual growthrate.Sales ofgrass-fed yogurtand kefir（发酵多L饮品）,on theother hand,have in the lastyearincreased byover38%.This iscomparison with a dropof justunder1%in thetotalyogurt andkefir market,according tonatural andorganic marketresearch companySPINS.Josephs toppriority becamegetting hishands onenough grass-fed milkto keepcustomerssatisfied,since hisown64-cow herdwasnt goingto suffice.[C]His firstpartnership waswith Pauland PhyllisAmburgh,owners of the DharmaLeafarm in New York.The Amburghs,too,were truebelievers ingrass-fed.In additiontosupplying milkfrom their own85-head herd,they began to helpother farmersin theareaconvert fromconventional tocertified organicand grass-fed inorder toenter theMaple Hill supplychain.Since2023,the couplehas helped125small dairyfarmsconvert tograss-fed,with morethan80%of thosefarmscoming onboard duringthe lasttwo years.[D]All thisconversion hashelped MapleHill grow40-50%every yearsince itbegan,withno endin sight.Jospeh haslearned thata farmerhas tohave acertain mindsettosuccessfully convert.But convincingopen-minded dairypeople is actually notthathard,when youlook atthe economics.Grass-fed milkcan fetchup to

2.5times theprice of conventionalmilk.Another factoris thesqueeze thatconventional dairyfarmershave feltas theprice ofgrain theyfeed theircows hasgone up,tightening theirprofitmargins.By replacingexpensive grainfeed withregenerative managementpractices,grass-fed farmers are insulatedfrom jumpsin thepriceoffeed.Thesepractices includegrazing animalson grassesgrown from the pasturelandsnatural seedbank,and fertilizedby thecows ownfertilizer.[E]Champions ofthis typeof regenerativegrazing alsopoint to its animal welfare,climateand healthbenefits:Grass-fed animalslive longerout ofconfinement,Grazing herdsstimulatemicrobial（微生物的）activity in the soil,helping tocapture waterand separatecarbon.And grass-fed dairyand meathave beenshown to be higherin certainnutrientsand healthyfats.[F]In thegrass-fed system,farmersarealso notsubject to the wildlyfluctuating milkprices of theinternational commoditymarket.The unpredictabilityof globaldemandand thelag-time ittakes toadd morecows toa herdto meetdemand canresult ineventslike therecent cheesesurplus.Going grass-fed is a saferefuge,a wayfor family-scalefarms tostay viable.Usually afarmer willget tothe pointwhere financially,whattheyre doingis notworking.Thats when they callMapleHill.If thefarm is wellmanaged andhas enoughland,and thedesire to convert issincere,a relationshipcanbegin.Through regularregional educationalmeetings,a largeannual meeting,individual farmvisits andthousands ofphone calls,the Amburghspass on theprinciples ofpasture management.MapleHillsigns acontract pledgingto buythefarmer^milk ata guaranteedbase price,plus qualitypremiums and incentives forhigherprotein,butter-fat andother solids,[G]While MapleHills conversionprogram isunusually hands-on andcomprehensive,itsjust oneof agrowing numberof businessescommitted toslowly changingthe wayAmericafarms.Joseph callssharing hisknowledge networkthrough peer-to-peerlearning acore pieceof thecompanys culture.Last summer,Massachusetts grass-fedbeef advocateJohn Smithlaunched BigPicture Beef,a networkof smallgrass-fed beeffarmsinNewEngland andNewYorkthat isprojected to bring tomarket2,500head ofcattlefrom125producers thisyear.Early indicationsare thatSmith will have noshortageof farmmembers.Since hebegantoinformally announcethe networkatfarming conferencesand onsocial media,hes receiveda steadystream ofinquiriesfrom interestedfarmers.[H]Smith sayshell provideservices rangingfrom formalseminars toon-farm workshopsonholistic（整体的）management,to one-on-one hand-holding and an almost24/7phonehotline forfarmers whoare converting.In exchange,he guaranteesan above-marketprice for each animalandacalf-to-customer electronicear tagID systemlike thatusedin theEuropean Union.[I]Though advocatesportray grass-fed productsas awin-win situationfor all,they dohavedownsides.Price,for one,is anissue.Joseph sayshis productsare priced10-20%above organicversions,but dependingon theproduct chosen,compared tonon-organicconventional yogurt,consumers couldpay apremium of30-50%or moreforgrass-fed.As for the meat,Smith sayshis grass-fed hamburgerwill bepriced20-25%over theconventionalalternative.But alook atthe priceson onlinegrocer FreshDirect suggestsagrass-fed premiumof anywherefrom35-60%.[J]And notevery farmerhas theoption ofgoing grass-fed.For bothbeef anddairyproduction,it requires,at leastin thebeginning,more pastureland.Grass-fed beefproductiontends to be morelabor-intensive aswell.But Smithcounters thatif youfactorin thehidden costof governmentcorn subsidies,environment degradation,anddecreased humanhealth andanimalwelfare,grass-fed is the morecost-effective model.The sunprovides thelowest costof productionand thecheapest meatJ hesays.[K]Another grass-fed boosterspurring farmerstoconvertis EPIC,which makesmeat-based proteinbars.Founders TaylorCollins andhis wife,Katie Forrest,used tobeendurance athletes;now theyreadvocates ofgrass-fed meat.Soon afterlaunchingEPICs mostsuccessful product-the BisonBacon CranberryBar-Collins andForrestfound theydexhausted theirsources fbrbison（目匕美野牛）raised exclusivelyonpasture.When theystarted researchingthe supplychain,they learnedthat only2-3%ofall bisonisactuallygrass-fed.The restis feed-lot confinedand fedgrain andcorn.[L]But afterGeneral Millsbought EPICin2023,Collins andForrest suddenlyhad theresourcesthey neededto expand their supplychain.So thecompany teamedup withWisconsin-based rancherNorthstar Bison.EPIC frontedthe moneyforthepurchase of$

2.5million worthof youngbison thatwill beraised according toitsgrass-fedprotocols,with aguaranteed purchaseprice.The messageto youngpeople whomightnot otherwisebe able to afford to breakinto thebusiness is,“You canpurchase this$3million pieceof landhere,because Imguaranteeing youtoday youllhave1,000bisonon it/Were bringingnew bloodinto theold,conventional farmingecosystem,which isreallycool to see JCollins explains.
