The USDA’s 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines are out—and instead of reacting, we actually read them.

In this episode, we walk through what’s genuinely new, what stayed the same, and where the guidelines still fall short. We talk about the renewed emphasis on real food and protein, the continued fear of saturated fat, the missed opportunity around low-carb nutrition, and what these policies mean for schools, hospitals, and the military.

This is a grounded, honest conversation about food policy, chronic disease, and how we’re choosing to eat in the real world—without outrage, but without ignoring the contradictions either.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is the largest nutrition assistance program in the United States—nearly $100 billion per year, supporting roughly 42 million Americans. But what is that money actually buying?

In this episode of the Dust’er Mud Podcast, Rich and Shelley follow Farm Bill dollars all the way to the grocery store and examine how SNAP functions in practice. They break down where the money comes from, how much goes to administration versus food purchases, and—most importantly—what categories of food dominate SNAP spending.

You’ll hear a clear breakdown of:

How SNAP fits inside the Farm Bill and why it represents 70–80% of total Farm Bill spending

Why only a small fraction of each food dollar ever reaches farmers

The difference between real food, packaged food, and junk food within SNAP purchases

Why sugar-sweetened beverages represent one of the single largest SNAP spending categories

How major food and beverage corporations benefit from the current structure

Why states are now requesting—and receiving—waivers to restrict certain SNAP purchases

The unresolved question at the heart of the debate:
Is SNAP a nutrition program, or an income supplement?

This conversation is not an attack on people who receive assistance. Rich and Shelley openly share their own family’s experience with WIC and SNAP. Instead, this episode challenges policymakers and taxpayers to ask whether the system is delivering nutrition—or simply recycling taxpayer dollars through a deeply broken food economy.

If you care about food freedom, public health, fiscal responsibility, and the future of American agriculture, this is a conversation you need to hear.

In this episode of the Dust’er Mud Podcast, Rich and Shelley break down two major USDA announcements that, on the surface, sound like enormous wins for American farmers — a $12 billion bailout for row-crop commodity producers and a $700 million “Regenerative Agriculture Pilot Program.”

But when we follow the money, a very different picture emerges.

The big questions we unpack:

1. Who actually receives the $12B in “help”?
$11B of the bailout goes straight to commodity row-croppers — corn, soybeans, wheat, rice, cotton, and similar operations — not to regenerative farms. The other $1B to Specialty Farmers, to include sugar.
2. What’s really behind the $700M “regenerative” announcement?
Press remarks make it clear that the funding is not new money, but simply baseline EQIP and CSP dollars repackaged into a “pilot”.
Politico even had to ask where the funds came from, and USDA confirmed the truth:
“It’s baseline funding… We’re tagging that funding specifically for this pilot.”
3. Why were so many consumers excited about this?
The optimism comes from a misunderstanding:
Regenerative farmers are not receiving new support.
Row-crop agriculture is receiving the overwhelming majority of all funding.
4. Are farmers being freed… or managed?
This episode lays out why these announcements don’t create farmer sovereignty — they deepen dependence, strengthen banks and input suppliers, and maintain the systems that keep small farms struggling for air.

⭐️ IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN

Why the USDA’s $12B bridge payments overwhelmingly support industrial farming
Why the new “regenerative” program is mostly a rebrand with no new dollars
How these announcements create the illusion of helping farmers
Why most Americans think this is good news — and why it isn’t
What real farmer sovereignty would require
Why regenerative farms like Air2Ground still won’t see a cent of this money

⭐️ WHY THIS MATTERS
If Americans want healthy food, healthy land, and healthy communities, the truth must be told:

Bailouts don’t build freedom.
Rebrands don’t build regeneration.
And farmers are tired of being used for headlines.

This episode helps consumers understand what’s really happening — and why real change must start with truth, not announcements.

Can small farms actually feed America? In this conversation, we take on the question we hear all the time: “Can small farms feed the United States?” Using real numbers, real context, and our own experience running a regenerative farm, we break down what small farms can do, what they can’t do, and why both small farms and industrial agriculture play completely different but vitally important roles.

We talk about why small farms matter for community resilience, nutrition, local economies, and trust, and why they still can’t produce enough food to sustain massive population centers. As the transcript highlights, small farms simply can’t generate the volume needed to feed a city of 14 million people—but they can feed their communities incredibly well.

We also discuss how regulations limit small farm viability, and how much more local food could be produced if farmers and consumers were free to transact directly without expensive facilities or federal barriers. The conversation explores the difference between feeding America and feeding your community, and why supporting your local farmer is one of the most powerful actions you can take.

Bottom line: No, small farms can’t feed all of America—but they are absolutely essential, and they might just be the key to feeding you and your neighbors.

In today’s episode, we dive deep into insulin resistance, late-night eating, circadian metabolism, low-carb living, and why eating after 6pm can completely derail weight loss, energy, sleep, blood sugar, and your overall metabolic health.

Most people focus on food choices, but the science says the timing of your meals has a massive impact on insulin, glucose control, fat-burning, hormone balance, and healthy aging — especially during the holiday season when eating patterns get chaotic.

We break down:
✅ Why late-night eating raises insulin for 6–10 hours
✅ Why you can wake up insulin resistant even if you didn’t eat overnight
✅ The “dawn effect” and why morning glucose spikes get worse with age
✅ Why intermittent fasting done wrong can damage your metabolism
✅ Why skipping breakfast and eating at night is the worst pattern
✅ How nighttime carbs vs. nighttime protein vs. nighttime fat affect insulin
✅ Why older adults become more insulin resistant in the evening
✅ How meal timing affects metabolic flexibility, weight loss, and inflammation
✅ How to enjoy holiday food without wrecking your progress
✅ Why WHEN you eat may matter more than WHAT you eat

If you’ve ever wondered why low-carb or intermittent fasting sometimes “stops working”… or why mornings feel harder as you age… this episode connects the dots.

We reference research on circadian biology, glucose metabolism, aging, cortisol, insulin signaling, and the metabolic slowdown that happens at night — and how shifting your meals earlier can dramatically improve your health.

This is the missing holiday hack.
This is the metabolic reset you didn’t know you needed.
This one concept can change your health:
It’s not just WHAT you eat — it’s WHEN you eat.

Kevin and Sarah from Living Traditions Homestead join us to open up about what life really looks like after stepping away from YouTube. For the first time in years, they’ve slowed down the pace, scaled back their homestead, and learned how to simply be.

In this heartfelt conversation, we talk about:
Life as empty nesters and how that changed their rhythm
What it felt like to sell the scale back, downsize the garden, and stop raising pigs
Learning to rest without guilt after a decade of content creation
Rediscovering joy, marriage, and peace in a quieter season of life

This one isn’t just about homesteading — it’s about rediscovering purpose when the noise fades.

They told us fat would harm us — but what if that was the biggest lie in modern food history?

In this episode of the Dust’er Mud Podcast, Rich and Shelley uncover how Big Food and Big Pharma worked together to convince Americans that butter, lard, and tallow were dangerous — while pushing toxic seed oils as “heart healthy.”

You’ll Learn:

How the war on fat began in the 1950s
Why animal fats like butter, lard, and tallow are essential for health
The difference between real fats and chemically processed seed oils
How regenerative farmers are restoring real food freedom
Why flavor, satiety, and nutrition all live in the fat

This conversation isn’t just about diet — it’s about reclaiming control of our food, our health, and our freedom.

For decades, Americans have lived under the illusion of cheap beef — but was it ever real? In this week’s Dust’er Mud Podcast, Rich and Shelley of Air2Ground Farms dig into the truth behind record-high beef prices, Tyson’s $500 million beef losses, and the collapse of more than 100,000 cattle ranches across the U.S. From feed costs, foreign beef imports from Argentina, and corporate price manipulation, to the real economics of food production, they explore why beef prices are finally reflecting their true cost.

Topics include:

Why beef prices are rising while ranchers still struggle
How Tyson, Cargill, JBS, and National Beef shaped a false “cheap meat” economy
The illusion of efficiency vs. exploitation in modern food systems
How real food costs real money — and why that’s a good sign for food security
The beef market correction after Trump’s comments on Argentinian imports
The long game: heifer retention, herd rebuilding, and consumer reality checks

Trump beef prices 2025, Argentina beef imports, and U.S. cattle market news are dominating the news— and this deep-dive episode digs into all of it.
President Donald Trump just said he’ll “work with Argentina to fix U.S. beef prices.” But will that lower prices, lower grocery bills — or sacrifice American ranchers? In this powerful episode of the Dust’er Mud Podcast, Rich & Shelley McGlamory unpack the record-high beef prices, the shrinking U.S. herd (86.7 million head – lowest since 1951), and the politics behind importing foreign beef.

America can feed America — fix the structure, don’t import the fix.

Inside the episode:
• Intro – Trump’s “Beef Price Fix?” announcement and why it matters now
• Segment 1 – The Market Today: what record prices mean for consumers ($6–$8/lb beef)
• Segment 2 – How We Got Here: drought, feed costs, and the Tyson/Cargill price-fixing settlement ($87.5 M)
• Segment 3 – Market Motion: explaining CME feeder cattle moves without the Wall Street jargon
• Segment 4 – Argentina Import Plan: short-term band-aid vs long-term damage
• Sidebar – Brazilian Beef: tariff cuts?
• Segment 5 – Solutions: break up Big 4 packers, help to keep heifers, subsidize US beef
• Segment 6 – Reality for our farm & Call to Action
