Lyman explains what chemical agriculture did to his farm, his family and himself, and what gave him the strength to keep up the fight against mad cow disease that is only now beginning to surface to a larger public.
Howard Lyman and Mad Cows His lone fight against some giants of industrial agriculture (chemical manufacturers and cattle growers)
The Montana rancher Howard Lyman first came to world attention in 1998. He and Ophra Winfrey had been sued by Texas cattlemen and feedlot operators because Lyman had said, on the Ophra show, that mad cow disease might already be in the US. Since Lyman�s warning the first case of mad cow disease has been confirmed in the US.
In today's segment Lyman explains how he realized what chemical agriculture did to his farm, his family and himself, and what gave him the strength to keep up the fight against mad cow disease that is only now beginning to surface to a larger public.
After selling the majority of his farm Howard Lyman became an organizer with the Montana Farmer�s Union. In 1995 he formed the organization he now works for: Voice for a Viable Future. He is the author of Mad Cowboy.
He was recorded at the 22nd National Pesticide Forum in April of 2004 in Berkeley.
