may work best for them.

IOWA CITY, Iowa â The upcoming virtual Driftless Region Beef Conference will feature Frank Mitloehner, a professor and air quality specialist at UC-Davis, as the leadoff speaker.
Mitloehner will discuss greenhouse gases and the sustainability of beef cattle production. His presentation will explain factors of climate change, livestock impacts and the importance of ruminant livestock in the midst of growing pressures from environmental groups.
Understanding the facts and fiction behind livestock production and emissions is the first step in debunking the myths of livestock and climate change.
âAttending Dr. Mitlowhnerâs presentation via webinar format will give producers an opportunity to learn and equip themselves to engage in a positive discussion of livestock and climate change,â said Jay Solomon, University of Illinois Extension energy and environmental stewardship educator.
