At this year’s World Ag Expo Dairyline’s Bill Baker interviewed Liz Dornick and Carol Campbell, dairy producers who were at one of the Dairy Profit Seminars. They talked about AFACT, American Farmers for the Advancement and Conservation of Technology. Liz is in Wisconsin and Carol is from Kansas. They’re both frustrated with the misinformation that consumers find on labels and wanted to help do something about it.
AFACT is an organization that “seeks to educate, equip and empower all participants in the food chain to understand the benefits of technology and encourage consumers to demand access to high-quality, affordable food with a minimal impact on the environment.”
They say that producers understand the long term effect of the loss of technology, especially when it comes from a mis-informed public.
