Another 20 years vertical? By 2037, I will be very cranky ..... especially if the globe continues to warm. Your hot tub must be in tears. I could use one if you're through with yours.

I like David's youtube channel. But I think his analysis is extremely biased. At any given moment on the globe there is record cold, record heat, floods, droughts and "atmospheric compression" events. Pointing these out does not prove warming, cooling or pretty much anything. Other than well, weather happens.

Some of us just call it the Basin. Most of the production is processed.

Yes, it will be flat for awhile, and there will potentially be an increase in disease pressure, but the added moisture will probably result in higher yields

I don't know the size of the dairy herd. What I do know is that output of milk per cow has increased by over 25% in the past 10 years. Better feed, and genetics all play a role in it.
Overall meat herd has been increasing for the past 4 years in response to the higher priced beef. If memory serves me, the herd has expanded from 89 million to around 93 million today.
The 10,000 cows lost in the storm are less than a days kill, and will present no long term market effect.

The 10,000 cows lost in the storm are less than a days kill, and will present no long term market effect. I don't know what the distribution and range management are like today, but remember what happened to the herds on the northern plains in the 1880s and 90s. www.history.com/this-day-in-history/record-cold-and-snow-decimates-cattle-herdsI imagine the average cow gets more attention these days. A return to the great blizzards that raged across the plains a century ago could prove a real challenge even with modern equipment.
