Ep 212 | DISCOs 🪩 this episode of Discover Ag with Natalie and Tara is PACKED! Kicking off with a bittersweet goodbye to Alan Jackson, who recently announced his retirement from touring. From Chattahoochee to charity, the country legend's decades-long career gets the recognition it deserves.

Then it's off to the movies with a recap of The Last Rodeo, a new bull-riding film starring Neil McDonough that blends action, faith, and family values with real PBR athletes and authentic rodeo grit. Why do credentials matter more than ever in the digital age? It's because we have reached a point where wellness influencers and registered dietitians clash daily.

Nat and Tara have a candid discussion on Ivanka Trump's Planet Harvest initiative, the promise (and PR risks) of reducing food waste with "ugly" produce. A real-world breakdown of fly control on farms, including a guest interview with Tara's husband, Daniel, about how Clarifly has changed the game on their dairy operation. And of course, a FULL recap of the Farmer Wants a Wife finale 😳

CLARIFY: ClariFly® from Central Life Sciences is a feed-through fly control solution trusted by dairy and beef producers to reduce fly populations before they even start. Learn more and find out how ClariFly® fits into your fly control program here: https://www.centralflycontrol.com/
