Global 500 has official kicked off with opening remarks by Dr. Pearse Lyons, president and founder of Alltech. He shared his thoughts on the future of farming and proudly compared farmers and ranchers to heroes.
“Don’t just think it, ink it,” advised Dr. Lyons while asking us to write down five things he wanted to get us to do. Dream. Dare. Desire. Decide Dedicate. He also shared he has never milked a cow, so maybe someone would like to volunteer to teach him.
Alltech is on the cutting edge when it comes to the future of agriculture. Dr. Lyons listed six rules for producers to keep in mind when thinking about the future of their herds.
#1. Start with your land.
#2. Learn to understand the rumen.
#3. Feed the rumen nitrogen and carbohydrates.
#4. Focus on fertility.
#5. Watch out for mycotoxins.
#6. Only feed your minerals in the Bioflex form.
