Meet Jon, the Organic Dairy Farmer

December 3rd, 2007

I’d like to introduce you to Jon Bansen. Jon was a regular dairy farmer who changed over to organic and says it’s the best thing he’s over done and he’s now 10 times a better farmer than before. He says we got so caught up with increasing production we lost focus on biology.

In this short (3:40 minute) video Jon talks from personal experience about cows from regular (non-organic) dairy farms being more stressed due to:

  • cows standing on concrete rather than grazing on the land
  • eating a highly acidic diet of grain rather than grass
  • higher levels of bacteria due to grain
  • fertilisers
  • hormone treatments

 

After watching this, does it change the way you feel about non-organic milk? Which milk would you rather your kids drank?
