We continue our conversation with Neutral Foods Carbon Reduction Manager. Topics include, manure, methane digesters and the financial benefits of grazing.

We had a great conversation with Jake Schmitz, Carbon Reduction Manager with Neutral Foods. Jake travels the county helping farms of all sizes reduce their carbon footprint. Here is part 1.

Jerry & Tim discuss a unique company selling carbon neutral dairy products. We hope to learn more about their future plans in a later podcast with a company representative.

Jerry and Tim discuss how the price of milk is determined and some issues that can affect a farmer's bottom line.

In this Episode Tim speaks with Mr. Brent Branco of Tulare County California. Tulare produces the most milk of any county in the United States and also faces one of the toughest environments to operate. On top of the years long water shortage they are more heavily regulated than other states which impacts their use of water and their options for manure and expansion.

Brent is uniquly positioned to give insight on what's happening in Tulare. He's a long term employee of the local John Deer Dealership, Lawrence Tractor. Over the years he's studied many of the new technologies available to dairies and acts as a consultant to a number of farms.

Jerry and Tim discuss the topics that will make up future episodes of The Carbon Negative Dairy.

In our first episode we start with the basics. Clean Wave's Chief Technology Officer, Tim Heffernan, gives us the skinny on carbon. Why it essential to life on earth and the current issue we have with this important element. We also explain why we created this podcast and a little background on the hosts.

Clean Wave Technologies is focused on making the Dairy Industry sustainable and profitable. We are kicking off an initiative that will examine technologies and methods to bring dairies to carbon negativity.

We'll be discussing a range of topics all with an eye on return on investment.

ENERGY, MANURE, FERTILIZERS, BIOLOGICALS, DIRECT AIR CAPTURE and CARBON SEQUESTRATION.

We invite representatives of technology companies, farmers, scientists and interested parties to join us to discuss bringing the best solutions for a Carbon Negative Dairy to fruition.
