Dear John,
For many Midwesterners, including the farm
families and office staff of US Wellness
Meats, July signals the beginning of county
fair season. Historically, county fairs have
been known as a venue for displaying the best
of the county - from livestock to flowers,
crafts to vegetables - and for educating
residents about agricultural and homemaking
innovations.
Although times have changed since the first
county fairs were held, attending a county
fair is still an outstanding opportunity to
connect your family with agriculture and the
community. County fairs offer a wide variety
of entertainment and education for the entire
family. To find information about a fair in
your area, visit the Fairs
and Festivals website.
One of the challenges in the rural community
is stemming the exodus of young people from
the land. Being 55 years young, I am old
enough to recognize that county fairs today
are missing the huge numbers I saw in the
late 60's when I was busy showing calves and
entering the tallest stalk of corn I could
find.
Rolling the clock back to the my parent's
era, it is stunning to see pictures from the
1930's. You would think it was a World's
Fair versus a county fair.
Sadly many of the best and brightest fled to
the bright lights of suburban America during
the past 100 years.
One of the selling points of grass-fed
beef production is the entry costs are
minimal for young farmers, compared to
conventional agriculture.
With a clarion call for food production, I
only hope I live long enough to see a rebound
in farm youth showing their calves and
bragging on the best stalks of corn and
garden produce.
The future of food production rests in their
hands.
Warmest regards,
John, Lee Ann, Megan, Lacey and McKenzie on
behalf
of the
farm families of U.S. Wellness Meats

Dear Dr. Serrano:
I suspect that BBQing and smoking foods
may not be healthy from the standpoint that
the process imbues foods with carcinogenic,
albeit tasty, molecules of smoke. Even just
being around the smoke generated by a BBQ, I
fear, may not be healthy. What is your take?
Sharon
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Sharon,
Smoking meats
is one of the oldest methods to cook food.
Since humans think they can always do better
than nature, now we use all kind of
chemicals. These chemicals are the real
problem, not the method.
Sharon, humans have been smoking food for
years, but not with what we smoked food today
which is a bunch of chemicals and yes it can
be harmful, including charcoal, which is a
man made fuel. Humans used wood, stones, and
other sources of natural fuel, like coal to
smoked their food. In addition, just by
placing the food over a fire is still a form
of smoking food.
Sharon for a safe smoked meat, use untreated
wood chips or add some type of sauce, or pour
beer over it. If you are really
interested, my father in law is an expert and
I can ask what he uses to smoke his salmon.
By the way, the smoked salmon recipe is
delicious and all natural.
Take care,
Eric
