As a cow-calf beef cattle farmer in a past life - we fed cull potatoes, carrots, turnips - cows love them!!! But turnips not for milk cows (strong flavours taint the milk), no carrots for finishing beef cattle (carrots colour the fat orange and orange fat freaks people out) - but they all love potatoes!!!
I work at a food bank where we get donations weekly that are thousands of pounds of culled onions and potatoes from Peak of the Market. We don’t get the diseased ones but we get the real ugly, sometimes squishy and smelly ones hah
In my part of Scotland I'm in a potato growing area, mainly seed potatoes. Any rejects that don't meet the main market are sold to livestock farmers as; Stock Feed Potatoes. The clue is in the name 😁
Supermarket and retail chains won't accept vegetables and fruit that don't look perfect even though most of it is perfectly good to eat, on the ground that the customers won't buy it. Up to 40% is rejected, so it makes sense not to waste it. Consumerism is so awful.
Maybe focus on plane flights, especially private ones, AI computing energy, extraction of rare earth metals, building cheap houses that get torn down again within a lifetime, using fossil-fuel powered bulldozers to clear native woods and prairie or viable farmland to convert to solar panels that contain and will shed PFAs and toxic chemicals over the life time of the installation-if it doesn’t have to be re-installed after a tornado or severe windstorm- meanwhile also using immense amounts of energy to hyper regulate direct farm-to-consumer exchange and using regulatory power to prevent tiny home businesses from becoming successful and prolific. Cow and sheep and all the other farm animals would help us live sustainably if those who have the reaources make the choice to seek out and aim for organic and locally produced meats, vegetables, and grains. Thank you for being a farmer against all odds!
CO2 absolutely does cause global warming. Literally all scientific research over the last few decades clearly demonstrates it. So... what's your point?

I’ve heard out of any food cattle will always pick the potatoes first. Is that true?
"Cows love them", "finishing beef cattle", "they love potatoes", "cognitive dissonance"

My niece used to go around to fruit farmers to collect the unsaleable fruit. Her pigs loved it.

Cool what food bank / area are you?
And it's perfectly edible. Good for you.
So steak and fries, burgers and fries...it all makes sense now
It’s why they go so well together
I get tons of waste potatoes, apples and squash for my goats, sheep, pigs, poultry and dogs. They love even the ones that have frozen or half spoiled.
Thx you, no waste no hunger.
Because of look and shape can't sell them ....what that tells us ....food should be 10 times more expensive,so they start appreciate it.

Community preparedness!!!❤ Thank you for your contributions to making the world a better place.
Ruminants should ruminate! 😊
Good idea 🥰
Canadian breweries have handshake deals with farmers to get rid of their I spent grains

So essentially what you’re saying is that now I don’t need a baked potato with my steak any more cause the steak is the potato now
I mean it never hurts to also have a potato on the side 😉
I love your smile

Can you just throw some of them into a composter to use for your crops?

Potatoes and beef are yin and yang
I'm confused if the potato has a disease.Wouldn't the potato next to it have disease?
Love that win-win mentality of waste not want not and you certainly front not 😜
sorry MF DOOM takes the cake on that one 😅
Just have grades to potatos and sell them cheeper foe human consumption.

Seed oils are absolutely fine for human consumption
