Large animal veterinary topics

Those of you who are regular followers to the blog know that I post an agricultural website or article of interest every Monday. Many of you also know I'm a cattle veterinarian. I don't write about that topic on this blog, but I have and am happy to guest post on other blogs. For today's ag related post, I am sharing links to other blog posts I have written about agriculture and veterinary medicine in 2010. (P.S. If you would like me to do a guest post on your blog, drop me an email to info@cowartandmore.com)

Monday's agriculture website of interest: AGRICULTURAL AND APPLIED ECONOMICS ASSOCIATION

Monday's agricultural website of interest is the Agricultural & Applied Economics Association (AAEA). The AAEA is a not-for-profit association serving the professional interests of members working in agricultural and broadly related fields of applied economics. Members of the AAEA are employed by academic or government institutions, as well as in industry and not-for-profit organizations, and engage in a variety of teaching, research, and extension/outreach activities. Their work addresses a broad range of topics such as the economics of agriculture, international and rural development, resources and the environment, food and consumer issues, and agribusiness.

Monday's agriculture website of interest: ADVOCATES FOR AGRICULTURE

Today's agriculture website of interest to share with readers is maintained by Troy Hadrick, a beef rancher from South Dakota. His blog, "Advocates for Agriculture," chronicles his life as a fifth generation rancher while also explaining to consumers how their food is produced. Take notice, however, Troy's blog is not for the faint of heart. He doesn't pull any punches when explaining the myths surrounding agriculture and certainly takes great pride explaining the issues farming faces. You can also find his videos on You Tube on the Advocates for Ag channel.
