Jude Becker was featured on Oprah’s show on October 14, 2008. Read about Jude and visit Oprah’s website to learn more about Prop 2 and the differences between factory farms and high-welfare family farms. Like many farm kids of the 1980s, Jude grew up amidst a general decline in traditional agriculture. Factory farms and confinement operations were the growing trend, and “sustainable agriculture” was not the household word it has now become. However, after attending Iowa State in the mid-1990s, Jude pursued an interest in organic and sustainable production. Later, he took this knowledge back to his family farm in Dyersville, Iowa.
