Jeremy Brown, co-owner of Twin Birch Dairy, believes sustainability is crucial in dairy farming. His farm, located in Skaneateles, New York, utilizes innovative practices to reduce methane emissions and ensure eco-friendly operations, such as using electric manure scrapers and recycling manure. Despite these efforts, Brown opts against organic certification, citing potential cost increases and disadvantages of restricting technology. He echoes broader frustrations within the farming community about the declining value of organic certification as indicated by a decrease in certified organic acreage in the U.S. from 2019 to 2021.
Brown's philosophy emphasizes the role of cows as integral to sustainable farming: “Ruminants are the solution, not the problem, to climate change.”
