Anxieties are rising. Welcome everybody, as usual. The industry's anxieties are rising,

mine are as well, but the first article is just my perfect, perfect kind of article that I love

to report upon in rising anxieties.

Because it's one of those articles that kind of proves that activists are doing the right thing.

This is by Abby Cornagay from the Animal Agriculture Alliance, and it's on drovers.com.

Don't let activists spoil the fun this fair season. And I'm, of course,

talking about state fairs. And the subtitle is fairs provide an invaluable time to engage with the

public about agriculture. But watch out for detractors attempting to sway public opinion

and protest these events. Yeah, I love it. And she

points out that because she is a member of the agricultural community, she considers this to be an

invaluable time to reach outside the bubble and engage with the public about agriculture and where our food comes from.

We, of course, are not members of the public. We are, you know, the other side. Did she consider

herself to be on a side? I don't know. However, there are often detractors attempting to sway

public opinion. Ah, yeah, exactly. And in some cases, even protest these events. Oh my

God, can you imagine? She's talking specifically about Pita. God love them, you know. Peter can

sometimes annoy you, but they're out there doing things like bringing their hell on wheels vehicle to fairgrounds.

She's very upset about it.

It's apparently this big truck.

You know, I don't know a lot about state fairs.

Though now that I live in upstate New York, maybe I should learn a little more.

It's really not that far from here.

I don't really want to go.
