Hi Megan,

Thanks for reading the piece, and letting us know. Some farmers do use antibiotics, but obviously not everyone will choose to. We love to hear about individual farms and sustainable farming practices, however, so if you’d like to tell us more about your farm, you can reach me at emily@modfarmer.com.

If one animal gets sick, the entire group is often treated because they live in such close proximity to one another.”
I’m sorry- but this assumption is just typical alarmist rhetoric. How about some scientific research to document this “fact.” We have never done this practice on our beef farm and all the other beef and pork farmers we know, don’t do it either. I love to read Modern Farmer articles, but find lately the authors make some pretty strong opinions that are often not based on facts.

If the societal discourse is only various shades of disinformation in service to profit at any cost. Is it any wonder the 6th Mass Extinction is ignored?
