Discover Ag

Ep 253 | 800,000 acres burned, 40,000 cattle displaced, and entire communities evacuated — the fallout from the Nebraska wildfires has just begun.

This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara share how the ag community is coming together to support them as they recover from the largest wildfire in state history. You'll also hear stories from their recent travels, starting with the largest gathering of farmers and ranchers in White House history all the way to Dutch dairy farms that will make you rethink everything you think you know about European agriculture. Plus, find out which Grammy-award winning singer has been farming for 20+ years (and where you've probably eaten some of their produce).

Ep 252 | Some kids miss two weeks of school every fall — not for vacation, but to go harvest potatoes in Idaho. We call it hard work, but the internet calls it child labor.

This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara give their take on the viral reel, break down why the Non-GMO label is mostly just marketing, and deliver some bad news for fans of a popular drink — but don't worry too much, they found a backup plan for drinks this summer.

Ep 251 | Did you know that Tyson produces 1 in every 5 pounds of meat in the US? Have you seen the Tosh Show clip that's got the internet divided on organic pest control? Or that Ian Munsick is opening a cowboy bar in Deadwood?

This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara discuss a new bill that could break up big meat and forever change the industry (and grocery store prices). They unpack what makes Ian Munsick's new spot different from every other country singer's bar in Nashville, why agriculture is suddenly everywhere in pop culture, and plans for a new boarding school designed to train boys in farming and energy.

Ep 249 | Trump just invoked a wartime law to boost domestic glyphosate production — you know, that controversial pesticide the MAHA movement has been fighting against for years.

This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara explain why the glyphosate executive order is more complicated than the headlines make it sound, why farmers are caught in the middle, and how an initiative banning hunting, fishing, and livestock could actually make it to the ballot. They bring it home with some classic Americana, from viral content of Team USA's hockey gold to a nostalgic grocery store staple that's about to leave shelves forever.

Ep 248 | The White House signed an executive order to quadruple beef imports from Argentina, but not everyone is happy about it. Our question is, does this actually help (or hurt) anyone?

This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara break down the latest U.S. beef controversy, Tyson's $48 million settlement for manipulating the price of pork (who's shocked?), and Beyond Meat's newest venture into the protein craze. They also get excited about the new Farmer Wants a Wife cast and a viral reel of orange season in Valencia, Spain.
