August 2010 Editorial
A Complete, Compelling Story
Jerseys have been in the headlines—and in a big
way—because of the key findings from a life-cycle assessment study
presented July 13 at the dairy and animal science meetings in
Denver.
Among other things, Jude Capper of Washington State
University reported that using milk from Jerseys rather than
Holsteins to make cheese results in substantial reductions in water
and land use, fuel consumption, waste output, and greenhouse gas
emissions. Per unit of cheese, the Jersey carbon footprint is 20%
less than that of Holsteins.
The research was commissioned by National All-Jersey
Inc. The findings were instantly picked up and reported by key
industry media from Feedstuffs to
Dairy Today,
Dairy Herd Management, Progressive Dairyman and
Hoard’s Dairyman; by regional and state publications like
Farm & Dairy; and on dairy news websites including
DairyBusiness, The Dairy Network, and Dairy Agenda
Today.
The headline was tweeted on Twitter by several
recipients of the news release, and the story linked up to multiple
Facebook pages.
