Dear John,
For the first time since 1968, Monticello,
Missouri
felt the earth shake twice last week from the
earthquake
centered in Southeast Illinois. Once again,
we are
reminded that Mother Earth is constantly
changing.
However, Mother Nature has a flip side! The
very dry Fall of 2007 has been transposed
into a lush Spring 2008 landscape. Please
note picture taken this week
embedded towards the bottom of this issue. The
miracle of adequate
water is a wonderful thing if you are in the
business of growing high quality forage.
Water is a resource taken for granted
in many areas of the world;
however,
the U.S. is currently using approximately 410
billion gallons of water daily this
year! Many areas of the U.S. are becoming
concerned about water for irrigation and
public supply which is consistently making
headlines in the 21st century.
One half of this usage is used in nuclear
power plants, one third for irrigation and
the balance for public water, industry water,
rural water and livestock water.
We have been rambling bit; however,
grass-fed
meats require less energy than grain fed
meats. Consequently, we sincerely
appreciate those of you who are making the
conscious effort to support this fledging
industry.
Dr. Serrano will be back next week. Kat
James is filling in announcing her last free
teleseminar
on Thursday night, May 1st. Details below.
Warmest regards,
John, Lee Ann, Megan, Lacey and McKenzie on
behalf
of the
farm families of U.S. Wellness Meats

"Upgrading from conventional to grass-fed
meats and cheeses is a truly luscious way to
dramatically increase your nutrient and
omega-3 intake, while reducing environmental
impact on the planet. Many of my program
attendees are not big fish eaters, so they
are thrilled to learn that they can get a
similar fatty acid profile in grass-fed
beef-without the mercury worries. And with
several times the CLA levels, that ups the
fat loss as well."

health author
