Why is it cheaper for a farmer to produce a pound of grain than a pound of meat?

Basically, it takes a lot less land, a lot less time, and a lot less resources or inputs to get a pound of grain versus getting a pound of meat.But here's the problem: meat comes from animals that need to eat plants in order to be "harvested" for their meat. Grain comes from plants (domesticated grasses) which are at the very bottom of the food chain and are eaten by animals. So quite frankly, the comparison is really an apples to lettuce comparison. It would probably be more fair to see whether it's cheaper to produce a pound of chicken versus a pound of beef than a pound of grain versus a pound of ambiguous meat.Meat comes from any animal, from a deer to a chicken, thus can be produced in different ways. It doesn't always mean or have to be with grain; many animals can be raised for meat without using grain. And animals can be raised without costing the environment significant damage like is done with producing crops.Crops need to be produced on land that is tilled, or soil exposed to erosion and heating, which makes for less land for wildlife to live from. This is an environmental cost that has not yet been assigned a dollar value. To add to this, there is also an environmental cost with producing these grains by use of fertilizer, fuel, and pesticides because they add to pollution to the air and harm soil microbes.Arguably, with raising livestock on grain there is also an added environmental cost, especially those that are raised intensively or finished on high-concentrate diets like with cattle. While many animals, especially in North America, are raised this way, a number of livestock herds are not. Instead, they take advantage of the perennial nature of plants to regrow after grazing or after every spring to use as forage for the animals to harvest themselves. A lot less inputs, except electric fence and some time by the farmer, is needed to allow this to happen.No doubt production costs (based only on economic data) for growing grains (which is around $300 to $500/acre) is still cheaper than even raising grass-finished (~$1557/head according to U of C Berkley) or grain-finished ($1,250/head according to Manitoba Agriculture of Manitoba, Canada), but if environmental costs were accosted to grain production and grain-finishing, both would be more expensive to produce than grass-finished beef.


For whom platinum was named?

The name platinum is known to practically everyone, but few have actually seen it. It is well known to be rare and expensive. Chemistry texts give limited space to the platinum metals, though their important catalytic properties are always mentioned. The history of platinum is very imperfectly treated, even in encyclopedias, and many misconceptions are current. Platinum is not a silvery metal. it is grey and is not found as bright, attractive nuggets like gold. For these reasons, I have thought that an article on platinum might be informative.In 1748, Don Antonio de Ulloa published in Europe an account of his travels in New Spain in 1735. He brought to notice a heavy black sand that had been known for some two centuries in the placer gold operations in New Granada (Colombia and Panama), which he called platina del Pinto."little silver of the river Pinto." It was certainly not very usable. If you hammered on it, you got a hammered black powder. If you heated it, you got a hot black powder, and no furnace then could fuse it. Apparently it could be dissolved in molten gold, but decolourized and ruined the gold and so was forbidden in trade by the Spanish colonial authorities. In fact, it was thrown away with the contaminated mercury used in the recovery of gold. The metal was not much used by pre Coumbian natives, unless they liked heavy black sand. They could have hammered out the very rare nuggets, however. The report that it was used by the Egyptians is probably erroneous; they were not near any sources, and platinum was never mentioned in ancient times. Also, Ulloa did not discover platinum; he merely reported it.Because of its chance association with gold in placers, it may have been mentioned in antiquity, but was not recognized as a metal or used for any purpose. As a heavy sand (density 14-19 g/cc in the native state) unaffected by chemical processes, it accumulated in placers like gold, and indeed in the same places. However, it is much rarer than gold, and does not have the same origin. Both metals are freed when the rocks containing them weather, but they come from different sources. Gold comes from veins of silica, and is deposited hydro-thermally by active fluids. Platinum is present in the ultra-basic rocks associated with plate boundaries serpentine, olivine and so forth. Like diamonds, platinum comes from the earth's mantle. When these rocks are weathered out, the durable, heavy platinum comes to rest at the same locations as the gold.Its name is derived from the Spanish term platina del Pinto, which is literally translated into "little silver of the Pinto River."
