Feedlots mostly use corn, not soy.

And again, my issue is with the agriculture policy that demands scale up agriculture. The government created these problems in search of low prices and other political goals.

The dairy farm that i worked on as a kid had about 50 cows and didn’t have the impact that massive operations have, and grew a lot of its own fodder. Again it’s a stark difference... probably 100 dairy operations in my county when I was a kid, and I’d guest 12-20 now, most of whom are probably going to be gone in the next year.
