The Humane Society of the United States has formed a national agriculture advisory council. Kevin Fulton who farms and ranches in Sherman County Nebraska is chairing the group and says he suggested the idea of the national council to HSUS. He says most farmers and ranchers have a lot in common with the group.

He says many farmers and ranchers support what HSUS is advocating as far as livestock husbandry practices.

Fulton says he has several goals in chairing the national ag advisory council, including promoting proper animal welfare.

HSUS currently has 11 state ag advisory groups in place.
