Lab-Grown Meat, Vanishing Grazing Land, and the Wolf Wars
Trent Loos sits down with Texas rancher Jay Truitt for a hard-hitting look at agriculture's biggest fault lines. The two dig into the booming cell-cultured protein industry, spotlighting ADM's $2.23 million grant to build a $15 million lab-grown meat facility in Iowa. Truitt pushes back on Wall Street predictions, including Larry Fink's bold claim that fake meat will capture 65% of global protein demand by 2035, pointing to a track record stacked with failures. The conversation shifts to shrinking grazing acres, CRP's role in the decline, and the creeping footprint of wind and solar development. Trent and Jay close with sharp criticism of wolf predation coverage and the media's handling of a controversial meat-processing executive order.
