Podcasts about feedlots

In this enlightening podcast episode, I sit down with Natalie Kovarik a cattle rancher, to discuss the realities of cattle ranching versus its portrayal in popular media like 'Yellowstone'. Natalie shares her unique journey from Montana to Nebraska, illustrating the challenges and advancements in agriculture over the decades. They delve into her collaboration with dairy farmer Tara Vander Dussen on their podcast 'Discover Ag', which aims to bridge the gap between consumers and the origins of their food. Key topics include the impact of climate and market pricing on farming, the pros and cons of grass-fed versus grain-fed beef, misconceptions about methane production, and the often misleading nature of food labels. This episode offers a comprehensive look at modern agriculture, sustainability practices, and the importance of transparent, informed food production. What You'll Learn: Reality vs. Media: Understand how popular media can mislead public perceptions of farming and agriculture. Building Connections: Discover how Natalie and Tara use social media and their podcast to connect consumers directly with the farming world. Agricultural Realities: Learn about the technological advances and persistent challenges such as market pricing that impact modern farming. Debunking Myths: Gain insights into common misconceptions about "factory farming" and the scale of agricultural operations. Environmental Impact: Explore the nuanced discussion on agriculture's environmental role, particularly around methane production and sustainable practices. Key Takeaways: Media depictions often do not fully reflect the complexities of agriculture; Natalie provides an authentic look into farming life. Social media and platforms like Discover Ag foster direct consumer connections, opening dialogue about agriculture's realities. Challenges in farming extend beyond operations—the unpredictable nature and market factors are significant hurdles.

Michael Jackson had a private zoo with elephants, lions, tigers, orangutans, and more. Michael Vick bankrolled and organized a dog fighting ring. But you don't have to be named “Michael” to have an exploitative relationship with animals. Going back thousands of years, humans have exhibited a sordid history of abusing animals (and by extension, nature and the environment) often just for the purpose of showing off. The types and depths of exploitation have changed over time, and now we're at a crossroads where we need to learn how to be part of the ecosystem, rather than trying to dominate it. Join Asher, Rob, and Jason as they sort through some terrible human behavior, suggest encouraging ways to change our views and habits regarding our fellow Earthlings, and try to figure out what the hell “estimativa” is (hint: it's not a new wonder drug or a strain of cannabis). Warning: animal cruelty is discussed at length. For episode notes and more information, please visit our website.Support the show (https://www.postcarbon.org/supportcrazytown/)
