“Going green” is a stirring buzz phrase everywhere, no less in cattle feeding. Some shudder as they think of the regulations it entails. Others argue that agriculture is the original green industry and producers are closer to the land and natural resources than anybody else.
Some people set out to make a lasting change on their industry, but Max Deets, Beloit, Kan., says he never thought of himself in that light. Instead the cattle feeder’s natural leadership ability, quest for improvement and genuine respect for others led him to some of the most influential roles in the beef business.
“Ahead of the feeding curve” is a good place to be with the volatile markets and ever-changing dynamics in the cattle feeding business. It’s also the theme of this year’s Feeding Quality Forum, slated for August 23 in Omaha, Neb., and August 25 in Garden City, Kan.
