Six students and two professors on the road from Connecticut to Wyoming in a 12-passenger van for 20 days to learn how grain and livestock are produced. We visited farmers and operators of farm support businesses who cooperate to produce a small piece of the 220 million acres of grain in the US, and a small piece of the beef, pork, milk and chickens. Read the post inserted on June 18 entitled “Introduction” to learn more about this class at the University of Connecticut.
Quite a contrast between those operations, the small and the large. I'm wondering which is more resource efficient, i.e., which gives the greatest production output per unit of natural resource input?
