Are you trying to force farmers to put radios in their farms?
No, our hope is the animals will be happier and it will wind up reducing prices or increasing profits, and the farmers will do it voluntarily. If that isn't the case, we'll just keep doing this charity to get them in there.
Why not just support free-range meat?
It's inevitably more expensive and gamier than feedlot meat. It won't replace feedlots. Support it if you want, but we're trying to improve the feedlots instead.
Won't it make the meat gamey if the animals get excited by the music?
We'd suggest only play calming music a few times a day. Also, animals don't dance.
Who is going to pay for the electricity to run a radio all year?
The goal is to give some of what is donated to farms for this purpose. We don't want to increase prices for anyone, we are a charitable organization.
How much electricity does a radio use in a year? What is the cost per ton of food?
We're working to figure this out. Please
