💨 Abstract

Farmer Jeremy Brown of Twin Birch Dairy in New York emphasizes sustainability, noting that cows can contribute to climate solutions. The farm uses eco-friendly practices like electric manure scrapers and manure recycling but avoids USDA organic certification due to cost and technological limitations. American organic acreage has declined, with many farmers citing high costs and stringent regulations. Despite this, some farmers see organic certification as economically and environmentally beneficial, while consumers appreciate local, organic products.
