The Agtually Podcast

In this interview, Dr. Duane Wulf, director of the Arizona Arid Land Animal Production Initiative with the University of Arizona, walks us through animal production from birth to your table. We also discuss the current beef production system, the difference between grass fed and grain fed, and the basic science of meat.

In this episode, Tom Blevins from AZ-Dairy Herd Improvement Association gives us an overview of the testing process that milk goes through, what it can dairymen about the health of the cow, and how we know that it is safe to drink. This is Part 1 of a 2 episode series. In Part 2 (release date TBD) we will go more in-depth about the testing as we learn from a scientist from the microbiology lab at AZ-DHIA.

In this interview, guest Darrel Kuiper, covers a little bit of everything: generational farming, family history, exports, water conservation, types of crops best suited for the desert climate, and more!

This weeks guest, Dr. Michelle (AKA Dairy Doc), teaches us about dairy cow wellness and how farmers actually care for their animals.

How much do you know about how your food is grown, harvested, and processed? When you’re in the grocery store, how do you decide which option to buy?

If you're like me, you probably don’t know as much as you’d like to about these things.

I invite you to join me on this journey as I interview farmers, veterinarian, scientists - anyone involved in food production to learn what it AGTUALLY takes to grow and process our food.
