They use modern production techniques to increase the quality and quantity of the food they produce. In the 1960s one farmer supplied food for 25.8 persons in the U.S. and abroad. Today, one farmer supplies food for 144 people in the U.S. Thank you!

WEATHER NOAA Employs Experimental Cold Advisory For Newborn Livestock In NOAA’s National Weather Service, Glasgow, in collaboration with the University of Miami, will begin using the experimental Cold Advisory for Newborn Livestock System—a product developed to alleviate economic loss of newborn livestock due to harsh winter weather. “This system allows us to provide ranchers in Northeast Montana with enough lead time to bring livestock to shelter and mitigate loss due to weather,” said Tanja Fransen, warning coordination meteorologist at the weather forecast office in Glasgow. The new system provides guidance on the Glasgow Weather Forecast Office Web site and NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio. Graphical products will be issued daily showing specific thresholds that impact newborn livestock, based on a variety of forecast factors including temperature, humidity and precipitation. The advisory system was created by researchers working with ranchers to determine critical weather elements and lead time needed to take action to protect livestock. Researchers also reviewed 10 years of climatological information from Protect Your Investment and Livelihood Our package of farm coverages reflects our keen understanding of the insurance needs of rural Americans.
