At SVF, the signage talks about "heritage breeds." Some of them arrived in the New World with the Spanish Conquistadors. And they've been forgotten. Agricultural mono-culture is the rule in the US, not diversity. One kind of chicken for eggs. One kind of chicken for meat. One kind of cow for milk. The SVF Foundation sharply reminds us: "Recall the Irish potato famine: a single variety of potato, which sustained a population, was devastated by blight." One million died. One million emigrated.
You might ask: What does SVF stand for? Surprise Valley Farm. Locals have long called it Swiss Village. Gentlemen crossing your legs: What, you ask, is "semen cryopreservation"? Think of it as shooting your load through an ice cream cone. And only scientists care.
