Brasher: Morality debate coming on farm livestock

 

PHILIP BRASHER

WASHINGTON FARM REPORT

 

April 2, 2006

 

Here's a question most farmers would never think would need to be

answered, much less asked: Is it morally right to do what they do?

 

But that's just the question that livestock producers are going to

face in coming years, says Wes Jamison, director of the Agricultural

Stewardship Center at Dordt College in Sioux Center.

 

" What is your moral rationale for doing what you do? Agriculture

hasn't even begun to ask that question, " Jamison told a recent

gathering of industry officials set up by the Animal Agriculture Alliance.

 

The public's attitudes toward animals and agriculture are changing,

and farmers can't ignore what's happening, Jamison says.
