Would an NAE-style model work with HPAI vaccination? | WATTPoultry.com (wattagnet.com)
Quote of my presentation at IAIS. Not all countries will be quick to accept vaccinated poultry, so separating vaccinated flocks from unvaccinated flocks might be an option.
Food Safety Comes Naturally to Arkansas - Food Quality & Safety (foodqualityandsafety.com)
If chicken and rice is one of your favorite go-to comfort dishes, you might want to send a thank you note to Arkansas. The alluring land of the scenic, rugged Ozarks, some 2,000 dazzling underworld limestone caves, and soothing hot springs ranks number two in the nation in broiler production and number one in rice.

Green Energy - Lithium
Lithium Boom Headed Our Way (armoneyandpolitics.com)
I’ve spent time in south Arkansas selling new technologies, lab testing and products to the oil field and aerospace companies, so I’m grinning with Arkansas pride that a new energy storage material — lithium — could improve the state and even the world.

The Arkansas Advantage (armoneyandpolitics.com)
Arkansas has become a unique player in the two largest-weight components (steel and batteries). Arkansas can be a unique leader in lithium, which is needed to make car batteries, residential power walls and manufacture EV cars. Arkansas can do more than provide the commodity of lithium because steel mills in Blytheville and Osceola comprise the largest steel-producing county in the nation. Materials are the core cost driver of any automotive assembly. Steel represents the heaviest component and greatest freight cost of a car, so this is where Arkansas is a major player again.
The first of a 2-part series that provides a view of what is at stake and the strategic issues for leaders to discuss in productive conversations at this important Summit. Prominent companies, like Albemarle, Standard Lithium, Tetra, and ExxonMobil, have already established operations in Arkansas and are continuing to build out with production dates set at the end of the decade. Arkansas is on the verge of being a major player in this industry, which will have global implications and impact. Strategic discussion and even difficult subjects have to be on the table when this many of our State’s leaders are in the same room.
Part 2 is a refresher that Arkansas provides environmentally responsible lithium that supports the production of batteries for use in homes and cars. Our lithium boom goes beyond batteries in homes and EV cars, because it ties into our national security, military industry, energy security, electric distribution, etc. We are very fortunate Lanxess and Standard Lithium partnered to prove a new technology could provide environmentally responsible access to the lithium in South Arkansas.
Exxon, Tetra and SLI are now at a point of critical mass within the Arkansas Lithium opportunity as we establish a royalty structure. The Nation is watching us pioneer a new market segment, new technology, new production model, and new royalty structure. There is no precedent for us to copy, so we must be objective and fair so Arkansas can benefit from a new economic engine. The whole Nation can benefit from our impact upon national security, defense weaponry, battery supply chain, power grid, geothermal, etc.
