Jeremy Brown, co-owner of Twin Birch Dairy in Skaneateles, N.Y., advocates for sustainability, highlighting that cattle are integral to the solution for climate change. Despite dairy cows emitting significant methane, Brownâs farm prioritizes eco-friendly methods, using electric manure scrapers and recycling resources. However, Brown opts not to pursue organic certification, questioning its value due to high costs and its potential to limit beneficial technology for dairy production. This sentiment reflects a broader trend, with many farmers declining organic certification amid rising operational costs.
Ruminants are the solution, not the problem, to climate change, said Brown, emphasizing the positive contributions cattle can make to sustainability.
Twin Birch Dairy focuses on sustainability, employing practices like using electric manure scrapers and recycling water to minimize its environmental impact without seeking organic certification.
