agchat: Q1 via @agriblogger Is it reasonable to expect that government can guarantee #food safety? #farm #agchat
-

-
WriteNowBiz: I don't believe the gov't CAN guarantee food safety #agchat http://twubs.com/agchat
-
mpaynknoper: Q1 is up, folks, glad to see everyone connecting through #agchat again. Hard to believe it's only been 3 months for our community.
-
PoppyDavis: no. next. #agchat
-
chicknafoxhole: Q1 No. Government can and should try, but no one can guarantee anything these days. @agchat #agchat http://twubs.com/agchat
-
AgWiredLive: Hoping these filets I broiled for supper are "safe." http://www.twitpic.com/adg08/full #agchat
-
JPlovesCOTTON: Q1. got to say I'm not too sure there are any guarantees from the government, much less about dynamic food safety #agchat
-
-
WriteNowBiz: I think much can be done - but guarantee no- consumer handling also can contaminate food #agchat http://twubs.com/agchat
-
-
iTweetMeat: Q1 You cannot "test" your way to safety. #agchat
-
foodandfarming: Q1. I don't think there are any guarantees for food safety, especially not from gov't. #agchat
-
agchat: @farmstead @Writenowbiz Did we miss your intro? Sorry if you did, moderator struggling this eve... #agchat
-
cowartandmore: Q1 No. It will take a concerted effort from producer to retailer. Gov't can't do it all. #agchat
-
akleinschmidt: @agchat Q1 No. But government can provide uniform minimum standards of food safety. #agchat
-
NEFarmBureau: Gov can only do so much. Individual consumers have responsibility, too. For ex, some don't know hand to handle, cook meat. #agchat
-
margiealsbrook: Government can't guarantee #food safety but they can - and should - have laws & regs for food & #ag to make food safer #agchat
-
-
-
-
NateJaeger: #agchat nate jaeger here live from #ncbaconf in denver, will be lurking, but short answer 2 q1 is yes -
-
-
celestelaurent: Q1 @akleinschmidt has a point, gov't can't guarantee but they do need to regulate #agchat
-
cowartandmore: @AgWiredLive Look safe enough for me to eat ;) #agchat
-
-
iTweetMeat: Q1 @akleinschmidt Yes, uniform standards. #agchat http://twubs.com/agchat
-
NEFarmBureau: @JeffFowle Amen! #agchat
-
-
-
JPlovesCOTTON: the US gov has done a reasonably good job, better than any other, in providing food safety framework. Farmers, processors, etc #agchat
-
SimpleAsDirt: RT @JeffFowle: Q1 There are no gaurantees in life. Everyone in the chain is responsible. From Producer to Consumer. #agchat
-
lmworden: @celestelaurent Agreed! #agchat
-
AmericaWebRadio: Howdy from Atlanta America's Web Radio TX farmer David glad to be with you all I'll sit back and watch #agchat -
-
PoppyDavis: q1 - Not sure what uniform standards would mean, different crops, differnet distribution channels... #agchat
-
KYSheepandGoat: Hope I'm not the gun here, but have you looked at http://www.foodsafetyworkinggroup.gov/ #agchat
-
foodandfarming: Agreed! RT @JeffFowle: Q1 There are no gaurantees in life. Everyone in the chain is responsible. From Producer to Consumer. #agchat
-
WriteNowBiz: yep I intro'd - writer/aggie, nw AL #agchat http://twubs.com/agchat
-
margiealsbrook: re #agchat Q1 Consumers & other producers also need to let bad actors know that unsafe practices are unacceptable & unprofitable
-
cowartandmore: @JeffACSH It doesn't pass the "consumer perception" test #agchat
-
NEFarmBureau: Q 1 Gov can set standards and monitor, enforce. #agchat
-
agchat: @WriteNowBiz Thanks, like I said, moderator struggling to be speedy with new toy in toybox. #agchat http://twubs.com/agchat
-
-
NEFarmBureau: Q 1 We can help our cause with the consumer when we "police" our own industry to weed out bad actors. #agchat
-
akleinschmidt: @PoppyDavis Q1 by uniform standards I refer to GAPs or some similar program that is general enough to cover most crops. #agchat
-
cowartandmore: @AmericaWebRadio C'mon, jump on in. No right or wrong answers here. #agchat
-
iTweetMeat: Q1 @JeffACH Good observation. Irradiation is a wonderful tool, used on nearly all spices, why not other foods? #agchat
-
-
KYSheepandGoat: Since we're talking about Food Safety and Gov't, just thought I'd throw that link in there #agchat
-
JPlovesCOTTON: Q1. Government can do a lot by confirming the reality our food supply is incredibly safe due to the actors we have. Problems R rare #agchat
-
-
JeffFowle: @flowers13 All types of ag production are needed to feed the world. We must all be effective at what we do best. #agchat
-
TruffleMedia: #agchat John Blue from TruffleMedia ( http://bit.ly/lcAYP (expand) ) jumping in. -
NEFarmBureau: Q 1 maybe irradiation needs to be called something else! It sounds so, so...nuclear! #agchat
-
WriteNowBiz: isn't keeping consumer confidence in a good product incentive though? #agchat http://twubs.com/agchat
-
-
PoppyDavis: Q1. General enough 2 cover most crops is still very problematic for some and does not cover various distribution channels #agchat
-
agchat: @bubbamike Hey, we'd welcome you to join in our live conversation re #food. We value different perspectives. Name, location? #agchat
-
AgWiredLive: @KYSheepandGoat I think that's really helpful and appreciated. #agchat
-
akleinschmidt: @iTweetMeat Q1 cost, training, etc keeps irradiation prohibitive for wide-use. Chlorine is less expensive and readily available. #agchat
-
-
cowartandmore: @NEFarmBureau You're right. Perception is important to success. #agchat
-
WriteNowBiz: I think most farmers WANT to produce quality food & take it seriously; a few don't #agchat http://twubs.com/agchat
-
celestelaurent: Hate to cut out early, roommate just came in needing help with livestock judging stuff. May drop by again later. Chat away aggies! #agchat
-
JeffFowle: RT @NEFarmBureau: Q 1 We can help our cause with consumer when we "police" our own industry to weed out bad actors. #agchat #agchat
-
PoppyDavis: Q1. I agree govt has a role, I just question if govt. will play that role fairly across the entire food chain #agchat
-
iTweetMeat: Q1 @NEFarmBureau Exactly! But irradiated foods don't glow in the dark. #agchat
-
bubbamike: @NEFarmBureau Self policing doesn't work, never has. #agchat
-
machinefinder: RT @flowers13 All types of ag production are needed to feed the world. We must all be effective at what we do best. #agchat
-
margiealsbrook: Here's my question for this group, and maybe a future #agchat - should farmers be guaranteeing food safety? #agchat
-
cowartandmore: @WriteNowBiz Agreed! It's the few "bad apples" that give everyone else a bad name. #agchat
-
NEFarmBureau: @bubbamike Beg to differ! #agchat
-
-
chemicallygreen: Greetings from North Georgia, Steve here, experienced green chemist. #agchat http://twubs.com/agchat
-
iTweetMeat: @JeffFowle (Q1) You're right, we've got a handful bad apples spoiling it for everyone else #agchat
-
farmfed: @WriteNowBiz Many farmers aren't the food producers due to heavy processing Safety is often off-farm issue #agchat http://twubs.com/agchat
-
NEFarmBureau: Q1 farmers can guarantee food safety because they're at the start of the food chains and a lot happens after food leaves the farm. #agchat
-
margiealsbrook: In the context of many farmers can't control what food companies do with their product or how it is processed after a certain point #agchat
-
cowartandmore: @margiealsbrook Guarantee is a strong word. I think it's hard for that to rest entirely on farmers' shoulders. #agchat
-
agchat: Q2 Via @TruffleMedia What will Food Safety Modernization Act '09 do for consumers and producers, if passed? http://bit.ly/117Y44 (expand) #agchat
-
JeffACSH: @cowartandmore Fine, irradiation not popular w/ pulic. but if Gov't can't lead w/ good sci., it shouldn't be in Food Safety #agchat Q1
-
PotatoPro: @margiealsbrook Yes, farmers are responsible for the food safety of their part of the chain #agchat
-
JeffFowle: @bubbamike I respectfully disagree. #agchat
-
-
NEFarmBureau: Q1 meant to say farmers can't guarrantee safety, not can! #agchat
-
RayLinDairy: @bubbamike even w/ 3rd part audits? RT @bubbamike: @NEFarmBureau Self policing doesn't work, never has. #agchat
-
chicknafoxhole: @bubbamike I don't agree. Just because the public & the media don't show it, doesn't mean it isn't there. #agchat http://twubs.com/agchat
-
PoppyDavis: q1. Farmers can guarantee at point of sale - can only gaurantee beyong point of sale if growing under contract & know dist. chain. #agchat
-
KYSheepandGoat: @margiealsbrook with meat at least, too many hands touch it after it leaves ours. #agchat
-
cowartandmore: @JeffACSH So what's a good answer? We already know via rBST that science and perception don't always mix. #agchat
-
lizardcow: @margiealsbrook I don't think farmers can guarantee food safety in good conscience. #agchat
-
margiealsbrook: @cowartandmore Exactly my point - but yet you see a lot of farmers who think because they are good actors everything is safe #agchat
-
chicknafoxhole: @bubbamike Outsiders don't understand & can't judge what they don't understand. #agchat http://twubs.com/agchat
-
iTweetMeat: @JeffACSH Amen. #agchat
-
-
-
jackstevison: Jack from Florida. mostly lurker here. extended fam in KS grows Wheat, Corn, Sunflowers. cheers #agchat http://twubs.com/agchat -
cowartandmore: @margiealsbrook Good point. Dangerous assumption on their part. #agchat
-
NEFarmBureau: The farmers I know don't take shortcuts, even when it's tempting; it's part of their ethic. #agchat
-
JPlovesCOTTON: I've never met a farmer who short-cutted their way thru food safety -- that's an incredibly rare breed #agchat
-
WriteNowBiz: RT @farmfed: @WriteNowBiz Safety is often off-farm issue #agchat http://twubs.com/agchat<<agree compleltely!
-
chicknafoxhole: @bubbamike I think you've been watching too many movies. #agchat http://twubs.com/agchat
-
bubbamike: @chicknafoxhole I disagree, I know human nature. most people look at short term profit over the long term good. Not evil, just human #agchat
-
iTweetMeat: Q2 :: Aside from more paperwork for everyone? #agchat
-
cowartandmore: via @agchat Are you "window shopping" at #agchat? Stop in and intro yourself; we're a friendly bunch & like to know who's watching. #agchat
-
bubbamike: @JPlovesCOTTON Not just farmers, middlemen have a huge incentive to cut cost as do retailers. #agchat
-
MichDe: Glad to find all of you here in #agchat and im on http://twubs.com/agchat with you this time
-
-
-
WriteNowBiz: @JPlovesCOTTON I met a mgr of corp place once who was $$ focused; not typical of *farmers* IMO #agchat http://twubs.com/agchat
-
mpaynknoper: Profit seeking niche marketers had a lot to do with initial push re@cowartandmore: re rBST that science & perception not mixing #agchat
-
-
-
TruffleMedia: #agchat Q1 government should have infrastructure for food safety with monitoring. Agree with @chicknafoxhole nothing can be 100% guaranteed
-
WriteNowBiz: @JPlovesCOTTON place also went under so that's it's own 'reward' #agchat http://twubs.com/agchat
-
JPlovesCOTTON: @bubbamike Understood. Most also have real pressure if shortsuts are taken -- contracts get lost, businesses close, etc #agchat
-
agchat: Q2 Via @TruffleMedia What will the Food Safety Modernization Act 09 do for consumers & producers, if passed? http://bit.ly/117Y44 (expand) #agchat
-
RayLinDairy: @P_ID Would you care to provide an intro? Thank you! #agchat
-
-
margiealsbrook: But shortcuts are VERY common for food production companies; unintended or not, they happen all the time to the detriment of safety #agchat
-
-
-
WriteNowBiz: Q2 eliminate choioces for farmers & consumers #agchat http://twubs.com/agchat
-
PotatoPro: @margiealsbrook Disagree with that statement. Please be more specific #agchat
-
-
chicknafoxhole: @margiealsbrook Why do you assume that's true? #agchat http://twubs.com/agchat
-
-
JPlovesCOTTON: @WriteNowBiz Glad to hear it. Bad actors make problems for all the others. They should go under. #agchat
-
RayLinDairy: Time to board will try to keep up on phone then from the air! #agchat
-
margiealsbrook: re Q2 #agchat Gov would finally get recall authority for tainted or poison food - it's ridiculous that it does not exist already
-
AgWiredLive: Q2: I'm afraid the "good intentions" will result in hard to enforce regs. that will drive up food costs and overburden producers. #agchat
-
chicknafoxhole: @bubbamike One person. Not an industry. #agchat http://twubs.com/agchat
-
cowartandmore: Q2 I worry about getting one more agency involved. The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. #agchat
-
JPlovesCOTTON: On Q2, I think that it is early to discern what the impact will be. Increase focus could be good. Overregulation is not productive #agchat
-
iTweetMeat: Q2 :: There are some good elements, and some mirror for other industries what the meat and poultry folks have been dealing w 4 yrs #agchat
-
PoppyDavis: Production still mainly tied 2 family name,its personal so no short-cuts, processing mainly anonymous,no personal cost2 short-cuts #agchat
-
iTweetMeat: Q2 :: And that's a big burden! #agchat
-
farmfed: @RayLinDairy Hi Ray. @P_ID is another Anthony Nicalo project. @farmstead @farmfed @P_ID @Dajoji #agchat http://twubs.com/agchat

-
AgJobNetwork: Wishing I could participate in #agchat tonight - unfortunately still packing for our next move. #3 in 2009! -
WriteNowBiz: @AgWiredLive I agree 100% #agchat http://twubs.com/agchat
-
chicknafoxhole: @cowartandmore Nothing sadder than those that know nothing regulating those that do. #agchat http://twubs.com/agchat
-
lizardcow: @JPlovesCOTTON totally agree on Q2, can't know yet, too many variables. #agchat
-
mpaynknoper: @kmccomb1015 Glad to see you, please use #agchat hashtag and recomment using http://twubs.com/agchat
-
-
akleinschmidt: Q2 I agree with @JPlovesCOTTON. Too early, and frankly I haven't studied the proposed legislation that closely #agchat
-
margiealsbrook: Agree with @poppydavis on the issue of personal cost & feeling of responsibility with production v processing #agchat
-

-
chicknafoxhole: @flowers13 How do you feed a city of 8 million people?? #agchat http://twubs.com/agchat
-
-
mpaynknoper: @flowers13 Interesting perspective re larger #food production taking shortcuts. I've seen just the opposite; bigger more regulated. #agchat
-
JPlovesCOTTON: I suggest safe food can be produced on both large & small farms. So can unsafe. It takes people with focus & willing to manage. #agchat
-
WriteNowBiz: if it's combined with lower quality to make use (shortcut) it'll show up in ours faster than Smuckers etc #agchat http://twubs.com/agchat
-
iTweetMeat: Q2 I wish there was some data that indicated whether yea or nay that "local" or "smaller" equates to "safer" - we just don't know #agchat
-
WriteNowBiz: just from a volume standpoint - but we do still need volume to feed masses #agchat http://twubs.com/agchat
-
lmworden: @JPlovesCOTTON Well said! Definitely agree with this. #agchat
-
mpaynknoper: @cornfedfarmer Glad to see you - don't forget the #agchat tag. Fast & furious #ag & #food convo going on; I can't even keep up. LOL

derekbalsley: I'm quoting TJ a lot tonight... a very smart man, with relevant input to our discussion. #agchat
-
foodandfarming: Agreed. RT @JPlovesCOTTON: I suggest safe food can be produced on both large & small farms. So can unsafe. #agchat
-
WriteNowBiz: RT @JPlovesCOTTON: I suggest safe food can be produced on both large & small farms. So can unsafe. <yes! #agchat http://twubs.com/agchat

scrowell: @ReformedLiving Yes, but I know many family farmers u wld classify as large, who are not little Monsanto mini-mes #agchat
-
lmworden: @ReformedLiving When saying there's "not enough," you have to look at what the overall demand is for that type of product. Shortage? #agchat

derekbalsley: @bubbamike The fastest/easiest way in a free market to make profit is by producing a product/service that consumers demand. #agchat
