A group of cattle ranchers in Wyoming protested against a recent Burger King ad campaign that they say painted the agricultural community in an unfair light. The ad claimed that Burger King would be using beef sourced from cows with lemongrass in their diets, which reportedly reduces methane emissions.

The area was reportedly full of various vehicles adorned with pro-beef banners and American flags.
One of the event’s organizers, Lori Shafer, told KPVI, “Our goal is to educate the public. We all know that agriculture is struggling right now. We need to bring visibility to agriculture in a positive light; the beef industry, in particular, is taking some really hard hits right now.”

And we just feel like it’s time to start standing up for our industry.”
