Send us a Text Message.When people hear about agriculture in the news headlines, a new trend is to find a podcast to break it down and give new insights and commentary. This is where Discover Ag Podcast hosts Tara Vander Dussen (known as the New Mexico Milk Maid, 5th-generation dairy farmer) and Natalie Kovarik (4th-generation cattle rancher from Nebraska) come into play. They talk about what it is like to be a woman in agriculture today while producing a top-ranked podcast that follows the weekly development of agriculture in the media.
Episode 2522 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich speaks with farmers Natalie Kovarik and Tara Vander Dussen where they discuss agriculture, climate, food sovereignty, raw milk, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/08/food-sovereignty-episode-2522 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Managing the Landscape The political landscape has been on fire lately, but knowing that there is a steadiness between the extremes is comforting. (2:00) Natalie is a cattle rancher and Tara is a dairy farmer and have been involved with agriculture for decades. They are co-hosts of a podcast called “Discover Ag” discussing agriculture and where your food comes from. (9:00) They discuss some of the challenges they encounter, such as animal activists. (11:00) The fringe sides can drum up a lot of attention. When it comes to food, science and emotions are put on the same level. (25:00) They discuss the conversation over the decades about fat, cholesterol, and the health of meat. (29:00) Food Sovereignty and the Climate The discussion about carbon footprints is also a challenge. (34:00) Carbon emissions for farming are nuanced; there are many factors to consider. It's not just “carbon in, carbon out.” Ruminants keep soil healthy enough to grow food. The truth is nature is harsh, but society has been molded by “the Disney effect.” (38:00) They discuss the climate over 100 years ago. (43:30) Lab-grown or cultured meat is gives a false sense of being better for the environment, yet it takes all kinds of energy to make it. (45:00) There is not enough data available to tell what the implications are, let alone make claims of “benefits.” Vinnie shares his inspiration for “Beyond Impossible.” Countries having food sovereignty is important. A “food patent” raises the question of who gets to own the source of food for others. (49:00) A good example of what happens with this is how Big Pharma controls meds and their cost and availability. They share an enthusiasm for rodeo and bull riding. (58:00) Educated Food Choice Raw milk vs. Homogenized milk. (58:00) They are for food choice. Pasteurization was crucial to food in history at one time. There's a new NSNG® Foods promo code you can use: enter VINNIE and get 15% off!

Using Technology to Streamline Work on Diversified Cattle Operations Creating cash flow and mitigating risk are two things that frequently cross the minds of cattle producers.

Angela is joined by Tara Vander Dussen and Natalie Kovarik, for a very special episode in which they discuss various aspects of farming and food production, focusing on dairy farming, beef, and poultry. They address common concerns and misconceptions surrounding dairy products, such as the inflammatory effects of dairy and the presence of hormones, and the differences between grass-fed and grain-fed beef, the labelling confusion in the poultry industry, and the impact of different farming practices on the environment, emphasising the importance of food choice and transparency, encouraging listeners to make informed decisions based on their own preferences and values. KEY TAKEAWAYS There is ongoing research suggesting that milk does not cause inflammation, but the effects may vary depending on factors such as added sugars. Hormones naturally occur in dairy products, but the concern is more about added hormones. In the United States, RBST is no longer used in milk production. Homogenisation is a process that breaks up the cream in milk to create a consistent texture. Non-homogenised milk may require shaking before consumption or may have cream that rises to the top. Grass-fed, grass-finished beef may have higher omega-3 content compared to grain-finished beef. However, the omega-3 content in milk is generally low, regardless of the type of cow or diet. Food labelling can be confusing, and it is often more helpful to directly source food from local farmers to ask questions and gain transparency about the farming practices. BEST MOMENTS "There is a lot of new research that is really positive in milk, not causing inflammation, depending on, you know, are you adding, you know, sugar to it as a chocolate milk, all these different things that you can or cannot do." "I think if you have the means and access to supporting local and buying direct from the farmer, I think that's kind of the point, right? Cause then you can ask all those questions." "I think sometimes we get so in the weeds about the conversations of, you know, like you said, Omega threes versus Omega sixes. And, um, and we kind of lose sight of the big picture, which is, you know, meat is one of the most, um, milk to, you know, whole, whole animal proteins are one of the best things we can put in our body." "So there's a lot, I think when it comes to the environment part, that isn't necessarily true about, um, practices. And then also I think we're really, really losing sight of, um, what are, what actually happened to our bodies."

Episode 2345 - This Friday's episode is a special 1 on 2 when Vinnie Tortorich has Natalie Kovarik and Tara Vander Nussen on and they discuss debunking the myths of beef ag (agriculture), the environment, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2023/06/debunking-myths-beef-ag-episode-2345 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS You can watch this episode on Vinnie's Fitness Confidential YOUTUBE channel - DEBUNKING THE MYTHS OF BEEF AG Vinnie welcomes Natalie and Tara whose families both run a cattle ranch and dairy farm, respectively. (3:00) Each explains their experience growing up in the family-owned farming business, as well as their additional education outside of it. Farming is not for wimps; there is continuous hard work involved. Tara explains what is involved in nutrition for dairy cattle, and how well they are tended to—a comfortable cow means more milk. (15:30) Their cows get milked twice a day for 8 minutes each time. Health checks happen on a frequent, regular basis. They explain what certain packaging claims mean, and how some are marketing tactics. (20:00) Natalie explains cattle ranching and the difference between “segmented” (having multiple owners for each phase), versus “vertically integrated” (one owner through all phases). (22:00) There is a massive misunderstanding of cattle's contribution to any sort of greenhouse gasses and the nonsensical “science” behind it. (28:00) Ruminants are necessary for the environmental fortification of pastures. They discuss the lies various groups put out on social media and how younger generations are specifically targeted. (40:00) People, especially youth, are particularly susceptible because they are on social media all day and get blitzed by loads of misinformation. Vinnie emphasizes that this kind of politicization of things is not new; however, the difficulty is in the amount of screen time everyone puts in now. (47:00) Kids are growing up not experiencing real life, but having it all fed to them through a tiny screen. (51:00) It also adds to the anxiety of people in society and how life is handled (or not handled). Pop culture plays a big role in the “meat is bad” messaging as well. MORE TRUTHS There are plenty of positive things about cattle & dairy farming as well. (53:30) They provide basic nutrition for billions of people across the world. Ruminants grazing reduces “fuel” for wildfires. Ruminants are way more than just cattle; they are necessary for the environment! Natalie and Tara explain the differences in labeling of organic, grass-fed, and finished, and how each applies to beef and dairy products. (55:50) If you have very specific preferences for what you prefer (such as fed non-GMO grains), they recommend going to a smaller local farmer. They discuss carbon footprint percentages and how the combination of agriculture and forestry actually reduces percentages. (1:05:00) It's so important to debunk these myths because they will affect the nutrition of billions of people. They discuss the misconception that things like vegan leathers are better; those products are plastics, which means they are petroleum based.

[00:01 - 10:17] Milk's Nutritional Benefits ● They also discuss the nutritional benefits of drinking milk and emphasize that protein in beef, dairy, and eggs is the most bioavailable to the body. ● Tara talks about the polarizing topic of raw milk and how the choice between raw and pasteurized milk depends on factors like consumption rate and shelf life. ● She also notes that there are cultural differences that can cause lactose intolerance but also mentions that there are now many lactose-free options available. [10:18 - 23:52] Beef Industry: Misconceptions and Grass-Fed vs. Grain-Fed ● Natalie discusses the differences between grass-fed and grain-fed beef, both from a nutritional, production, and conventional standpoint. ● She also clarifies that conventionally raised cows are not forced-fed hormones and soybeans and that feeding them in confined settings is possible, even for grass-fed cows. ● Tara also discusses the benefits of ruminants, such as cows, which can upcycle plant matter into highly nutritious protein. ● They address misconceptions about the beef and dairy farm that it should not be called as “factory” farm. Key Quotes: “The further you are away from the food system, the more you fear it or question it.” - Natalie Kovarik “Obviously, we feel like meat and dairy should both be at the forefront of like a nutritious diet.” -Tara Vander Dussen “Every milk on the shelf is a nutrient powerhouse and is safe, you know, so whether it's within their budget to be organic or conventional like they should be able to feel good about those choices.” -Tara Vander Dussen “Ruminant animals are the only animal or thing on the planet that actually can create protein.” -Tara Vander Dussen "People like to call all of us, you know, across the board from chicken to dairy to beef factory farm. And I will fight someone, you know, tooth and nail to the end of the day that the beef industry truly is made up of families. It is not factorized." - Natalie Kovarik CONNECT WITH NATALIE AND TARA: DiscoverAg Podcast Natalie's Instagram Tara's Instagram Getnatesbook - This book is a must-have for anyone looking to drop belly fat and eliminate love handles permanently with expert tips on the 7 daily investments for health and wealth, the one type of cardio you need to include, and a handy checklist to hold yourself accountable to your goals.

[00:01 - 07:12] Opening Segment ● Tara and Natalie provide an introduction, detailing their personal and professional backgrounds, as well as the circumstances that led them to the ranch. ● Both of them share their experiences and perspective on agriculture through social media and created the Discover Ag Podcast together. ● They advocate for meat and dairy as vital to a nutritious diet and worry about the absence of such products in public schools, especially in New York. [07:13 - 18:01] Debunking Myths and Highlighting Meat's Nutritional Benefits ● Tara emphasizes the unique and essential nutrients that beef and dairy offer, which cannot be substituted by plant-based alternatives. ● Tara argues that beef production mainly uses green water, which would fall from the sky regardless of whether or not the cattle were grazing on the land. ● Natalie highlights the importance of cows in soil health and other byproducts and points out that cows contribute less than 4% of greenhouse gas emissions. ● Tara enumerates what they believe are the reasons behind the war on meat and dairy. [18:02 - 27:04] Regenerative Agriculture for Sustainable Food Systems ● Natalie discusses the concept of monoculture in the food system as a result of increased efficiency and specialization, which has led to a reduction in diversity and potential issues with food security. ● They also note that monoculture farming can have negative impacts on soil health and ecosystem health. ● She also explores regenerative agriculture, emphasizing the need to acknowledge its nuances and the absence of a one-size-fits-all solution for sustainable agriculture.

Fifth-generation dairy farmer Tara Vander Dussen and former pharmacist turned rancher Natalie Kovarik are two amazing women in the regenerative agriculture space. They're challenging the notion that bigger is bad and smaller is better in farming, and they're highlighting how regenerative agriculture practices can't be a one size fits all approach and must be adjusted based on the region the farm resides in. As Tara and Natalie share in this episode, since they live in drastically different regions, their regenerative ag practices differ in some ways, and so do their cows, which you'll hear all about. Despite the differences, they're both focused on running sustainable farms that help mitigate climate change and educating people on what that looks like. In this episode, you'll learn about Natalie and Tara's unique backgrounds, their struggles on their farms, how their cattle help the environment, and why they're so passionate about what they do. You'll also discover the current state and future projections for regenerative agriculture, why so many companies are already greenwashing in the space, what can be done about it, and where this powerful duo gets their own food. Here's a quick breakdown of some of the topics they get into with Dr. Anthony Gustin: Tara and Natalie share their backgrounds and how they found themselves in the regenerative agriculture space The current state of regenerative ag and how many companies are greenwashing and turning the term into a buzzword The spectrum of regenerative ag and why some practices work for some ranchers but won't work for others The struggles Natalie and Tara have personally faced on their farms They also share their thoughts on scaling regenerative agriculture The difference between having a large versus a small regenerative ag herd Tara and Natalie also discuss their farm sizes and how big their operations are Tara shares her thoughts on consuming raw dairy How cattle bring value to our food system Can a commercial model work for poultry or pork to make it more sustainable? One possible solution to mitigate the effects of climate change The weird censorship happening on social media against beef and its true impact on climate change Where Tara and Natalie find the motivation to do the work they do What we need to do and change moving forward to make an impact on a larger scale Where Tara and Natalie get most of the foods they eat Resources mentioned in this episode: Natalie Kovarik's website Natalie's Instagram Tara Vander Dussen's website Tara's Instagram Natalie and Tara's podcast Discover Ag Discover Ag's Instagram The Natural State Podcast Episode 095: Will Harris - Regenerative Agriculture and Why More Farms Should Switch to this Eco-Friendly Model The Meat Mafia Podcast Wendell Berry's book, The Pleasures of Eating The Holy Earth: The Birth of a New Land Ethic, by Liberty Hyde Bailey, Wendell Berry, and John Linstrom
