Sarcasm at work.

A step in the right direction?🤔

The world’s biggest polluter is on track to hit its peak emissions target early – but miss the goal for cutting carbon intensity

Time will tell how things work out.🧐

“Cutting our livestock numbers would mean importing more food — and that wouldn’t cut global emissions.”

The Scottish government has confirmed it will not back proposals to reduce cattle and sheep numbers in its new Climate Change Plan.

Supply and demand part of the problem.

Nick Holt-Martyn, principal consultant with The Dairy Group, said the vast majority of dairy farmers in Britain were already operating well below break-even – which he put at 45-47p/l (51-53.5c/l).

That's factory farming.

Your grandfather milked 50 cows and made a living. You're milking 500 and barely breaking even. Meanwhile, one Chinese company is milking 472,480.
Let that sink in. 472,480 cows. ONE company.

Here's what nobody's telling you about that expansion you're planning:
A Wisconsin dairy farmer just showed me his books. His 1,000-cow operation? It's $920,000 behind mega-dairies in annual costs. Not because he's a bad farmer—because the math is fundamentally broken.

I spent the last month analyzing the world's 10 largest dairy operations. What I discovered should make every producer furious:
🐄 Saudi Arabia gets 14 tonnes/cow in 120°F desert heat
🏭 China's "mega-farms"? Only 9.53 tonnes (efficiency is MYTH)
⚗️ Perfect Day is making YOUR exact proteins in steel tanks—they're in Ben & Jerry's NOW
📉 15,000 U.S. dairies will vanish by 2030

But here's the hope: The survivors already picked their lane.

Three paths still work:
✅ Scale to 2,500+ cows (need $3-5M but it pencils)
✅ Find your premium niche (adds $300K revenue/year)
✅ Exit strategically NOW (preserve 85% equity vs 20% if you wait)

The terrifying part? Precision fermentation hits price parity in 24 months. Silicon Valley is literally growing milk proteins cheaper than you can produce them.

One Minnesota producer told me yesterday: "I'm not competing with my neighbor anymore. I'm competing with a lab in San Francisco and a 100,000-cow operation in China."

He's right.

So I'm asking you directly—what's YOUR plan? Because "working harder" isn't a strategy when China adds 1,000 cows during your morning milking.

Tag a dairy farmer who needs to see this. Their next 18 months depend on it.

Will the change the way emmisions are calculated?

More questions raised about additive.

BOVAER? NOT HERE

Bovaer has reared it's head again - as farmers across Denmark are speaking out.

Over there, they've been forced to use it in non-organic milk in the country as climate changes measures.

But

Cows are going off feed. Fertility is dropping. Animals are collapsing and dying - with farmers linking it to the use of the additive.

All while this, and other, new feed additives with different names are being pushed across the industry by BIG PHARMA companies looking for their next big thing.

These are real animals, real farming families - and it's causing real heartbreak.

Organic is the one and only way to guarantee milk that’s 100% free from Bovaer and other chemical additives.

No matter what the big dairies say on their labels, if it’s not certified Organic, you can’t be sure.

of course we're not saying that any big, self-respecting dairies have ever covered anything up or greenwashed; that would just be absurd...

Not sure about some of the figures, but there is a very big drop in income.

🚨 28 DAYS until UK dairy's breaking point.

Jack Emery asked the BBC: "Is it worth getting up at 4AM anymore?"

After December's 6ppl cut announcement, 7,040 UK dairy farmers are asking the same question.

We investigated. The math is devastating.

YOUR DAILY REALITY:
📉 Milk price: 35.85p/liter
💸 Production cost: 49p/liter
🩸 Monthly loss: £17,000
📅 Annual damage: £204,000

THEIR DAILY REALITY:
✅ First Milk: £20.5M profit ("exceptional year!")
✅ Arla: Investing £179M in mozzarella exports
✅ Müller: £45M expansion while cutting your price
✅ Combined processor investments: £400M+

Jack runs 5,000 liters daily—same as many of you. He loses £100,000 annually now. The "solutions" advisors suggest? Organic needs £750k. Scaling needs £26M. Diversification needs 2 years you don't have.

"Show me a farmer losing £17,000 monthly who has half a million pounds and 7 years to wait."

We can't. They don't exist.

Ireland reversed this in 47 days. We explain why UK farmers can't replicate their success—and what your real options are: https://bit.ly/4hGTbjb
