Over the next few weeks, I plan on sprinkling in bits and pieces about why I started TheBeefUEat.com and what you can expect as a reader. Here are a few fundamental goals for this blog, and I encourage you to hold me accountable:
- Keep it short and sweet. We are all faced with information overload. A goal of this blog is to provide you with the "big picture" to be ranch and consumer literate. If you feel like you need to do some homework, I'll provide links to help you sort out the details.
- Keep it civil. The great thing about America is we are all free to share our opinions and biases without serious attack. I want healthy discussion. If you have criticisms or compliments, share them. I might not agree with your opinions, but I'll respect you regardless.
- Keep informed. I have a journalism background, but don't confuse this site with pure journalism. I'll point to magazine articles and primary sources in nearly each entry. However, you should always treat a blog as more of an opinion editorial, not journalism.
- Keep promoting the positives of agricultural production. Whether you love working on a farm or consume its products, you deserve to be part of the discussion. Change isn't good or bad -- its reality. Let's discuss positive and realistic changes that need to happen to improve U.S. and world agriculture and its image around the world.
