PRE-REGISTERATION IS REQUESTED!

Editor’s Point of View: A Response to MeatOut Day

by Kathryn Ingram

The beef industry is under attack. Headlines routinely show celebrities and politicians promoting synthetic “meat”, declaring beef production unsustainable and blaming ruminants for climate change. We shake our heads and wonder why anyone would consider a genetically engineered hamburger made of peas and mustard seed healthy or tasty. We are surprised that people do not realize that sustainability is the goal of production agriculture. We are astounded that the public could believe that methane from cows is more damaging to the environment than pollution from industry and transportation.

However, we have forgotten that most of the citizens in the United States are a minimum of two generations from the farm. Most people do not have enough background knowledge to “fact-check” what they are hearing. The more often statements are repeated, the more likely they will associate that statement as a fact instead of an opinion.

This is especially true on subjects in which people have no common knowledge.

Businesses like Impossible Foods’ bottom line is dependent upon convincing the public to consume plant-based “meat” substitutes. One of the marketing strategies is to promote synthetic “meat” as more environmentally sustainable to produce than beef. Bill Gates recently voiced the idea that rich countries should consume 100% synthetic beef to help reduce methane emissions. This type of fear or guilt marketing will appeal to many without any background knowledge of agriculture.

Beef producers need to recognize that we cannot just label the movement to cease beef production in the United States as a trend or fad that will go away in time. Synthetic “meat” has gained traction within the business and agriculture sectors. Tyson Foods, ADM, and other ag-based companies have diversified and bought into the synthetic “meat” market.

A social media post about the March 20, 2021, Colorado MeatOut Day is what inspired this article. Governor Jared Polis of Colorado triggered the ire of beef producers nationwide with the following proclamation: WHEREAS, removing animal products from our diets reduces the risk of various ailments, including heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, various cancers, and diabetes; and WHEREAS a plant-based diet helps protect the environment by reducing our carbon footprint, preserving forests, grasslands and wildlife habitats, and reduces pollution of waterways; and WHEREAS a growing number of people are reducing their meat consumption to help prevent animal cruelty; and

WHEREAS, since MeatOut was launched in 1985, more than 35 million Americans have explored a plant-based diet and reduced their consumption of meat, dairy, and eggs: and major food manufacturers and national franchises are marketing more vegan options in response to this growing demand.

WHEREAS Colorado is the proud home to farmers and ranchers alike and we recognize the importance of agriculture in the state.

THEREFORE I, Jared Polis, Governor of the State of Colorado, do hereby proclaim March 20, 2021 as MeatOut Day in the State of Colorado.

Beef producers need to contest this type of statement with facts. Beef provides protein along with other nutrients such as iron, zinc, and B vitamins. It is an exceptional nutrient-dense product. If you are counting calories, you can get more nutrients through beef than other protein sources.

A balanced diet is required to prevent or treat many of the illnesses mentioned in the proclamation. Beef is part of a healthy diet.

Cattle have received a black eye regarding greenhouse emissions. A 2018 EPA study states that Agriculture is responsible for 9.9% of US greenhouse gas emissions (GHG).

The NCBA says that beef only contributes 3.7% of the total GHG emissions. Eliminating beef production in the U.S. will not fix the environment. The United States has 6% of the world’s cattle, yet we are producing 18% of the world’s beef. The use of feedlots to finish cattle is a carbon sink.

The high grain diets used at the feedlots offset the emissions from animals fed high forage-based diets in other sections of the production chain.

Sustainability is equal to profitability. Cattlemen must take care of their animals and land to stay in business.

Clean water and productive soils are a requirement for beef production. The health and welfare of cattle have a direct relationship with the quality of beef they produce.

Cattle producers need to add public relations director to their list of job duties. The public needs to hear a voice that balances out the negative press from the celebrities and politicians pushing to end beef production in the United States. This could be in the form of social media or having fact sheets at your table in the local farmer’s market. Remember that the person reading your post or visiting your booth at Farm-City Day is forming their opinion about the beef industry based on your actions and information.

A Lifetime of Service —An Interview with Glenda Rickman

by Kathryn Ingram

We have a strong Tennessee Hereford Association because of our members who are willing to work hard and go the extra mile. Glenda Rickman has been going the extra mile for Hereford breeders in Tennessee and across the nation for many years. She is always quick with a smile and an offer to help. Her dedication and work ethic have inspired myself and others to do our part for the Tennessee Hereford Association.

If you have been around Glenda, I am sure you have noticed that she is never still. This lady is always working and moving. When asked if there was a person or event that instilled her work ethic she replied “Apparently my parents had a great impact on me as a child. I have followed in their footsteps and have raised my five children in the same way I was raised. We worked hard as children, and my children have worked hard in the day-to-day operation of Rickman Farms.”

Glenda was introduced to agriculture and farming through her parents, Terry and Pauline Jamerson Hair.

The Hair Family Farm produced row crops and beef cattle to support the family. The farm has been in Glenda’s family since 1836. She and her siblings, Wahnell and Vernon were the fifth generation to grow up on the farm near Leapwood, Tennessee in McNairy County.

Her earliest memory of cattle was not a pleasant one.

When she was around five years old, she watched a Hereford cow knock her mother down in the pasture with her horns. This event was the catalyst for her father to start looking for a Polled Hereford bull. This was not an easy task, as there were not many Polled Herefords in the southeast at that time.

Glenda and her husband Gene purchased a 500-acre farm in 1962. The couple realized that the farm was better suited to raising beef cattle than row crops. After extensive fencing and water projects were completed, the Rickman’s made their first acquisition of Polled Hereford cattle. In 1963 they purchased six registered Polled Hereford bred heifers. Their registered herd soon doubled as all six of those heifers had heifer calves! They continued to buy a few registered animals, but their goal was to build a herd with genetics bred by Rickman Farms.

Tennessee Hereford Newsletter • Spring 2021 • 10

In 1963, the Rickman children began exhibiting cattle at local shows. Soon, they were participating in events with the Tennessee Polled Hereford Association (TPHA). Your children’s interests drive your interests and Glenda discovered a passion for Hereford cattle and Hereford breeders while helping her children with their show heifers.

Glenda helped organize the Tennessee Junior Polled Hereford Association (TJPHA).

The guidelines for the association and officers were determined at a TPHA Field Day at Bedford Farms in 1972. She still remembers the inaugural slate of officers for the TJPHA. David Parker was elected President, Randy Rickman Vice-President, and Margaret Stone Secretary-Treasurer; Marsha Clark was the 1st Tennessee Queen, Jane Rickman and Molly Mitchell were Princesses; R.B. and Rubye Jarrell, James and Helen Mitchell and Gene and Glenda Rickman were the advisors. Glenda served as a TJPHA advisor from 1972 to 1985 and continues to support our youth today.

She joined the Tennessee Poll-Ettes to help support their mission to assist with youth programs and the promotion of the Polled Hereford breed. She served her first term as President of the Tennessee Poll-Ettes in 1972. Her roles in the TJPHA and Poll-Ettes allowed her to be part of the planning committee when Tennessee hosted the first Junior National Polled Hereford Show in 1974.

She remembers that Randy, Lisa, and Steve all exhibited heifers that made the top cut of their classes at that show.

The Rickman family continued to have success in the national spotlight. Her son Randy was elected as the 1st President of the National Junior Polled Hereford Association in 1974. Lisa had great success with her show heifer in 1975, winning a class at the Junior National in Omaha, Nebraska, and being named Reserve Grand Champion at the Dixie National Livestock Show. Steve continued the family tradition by placing first in the three-member judging team competition at the 1985 Junior National Polled Hereford Show.

Rickman Farms continued to breed high-quality cattle that would work on the farm and produce show animals for the family. The Rickman’s had three production sales.

The first sale was in 1981, where the high selling lot was

$20,000. Rickman Farms raised registered Polled Herefords until their complete dispersal sale in 1989. Glenda and her son Steve now operate a 125 head commercial Hereford/ Angus cross herd on the Hair Family Farm.

The first junior national is where Glenda met Mike Simpson, the AHA Youth Coordinator and Advisor of the National Council of Poll-Ettes. Mr. Simpson recommended Glenda to serve on the executive committee for the National Poll-Ettes. The executive committee only consisted of four members at that time. Glenda was named 2nd Vice President at the National Meeting in Louisville, Kentucky in 1974. This was the beginning of a “truly great opportunity and experience” for her.

In the coming years, Glenda would serve as a board memGlenda pictured with her grandaughter Krissi and in 1982 winning ber for the National Council of Poll-Ettes and the National the Poll-Ette of the Year..

Organization of Poll-Ettes (the group was reorganized in 1985). She served as president of the Poll-Ettes in 1972 March of 2017.

In 2014 she was selected as secretary of the newly Glenda explains that the Poll-Ettes’ primary goal was to formed Tennessee Hereford Association and continues aid and support the Hereford industry and its youth. She is to serve in that capacity. Glenda has worked on the show proud to be on the current board of the Hereford Women committee for the TPHA and now the THA since 2004. She of Tennessee.
