Ep 249 | Trump just invoked a wartime law to boost domestic glyphosate production — you know, that controversial pesticide the MAHA movement has been fighting against for years.

This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara explain why the glyphosate executive order is more complicated than the headlines make it sound, why farmers are caught in the middle, and how an initiative banning hunting, fishing, and livestock could actually make it to the ballot. They bring it home with some classic Americana, from viral content of Team USA's hockey gold to a nostalgic grocery store staple that's about to leave shelves forever.

Ep 248 | The White House signed an executive order to quadruple beef imports from Argentina, but not everyone is happy about it. Our question is, does this actually help (or hurt) anyone?

This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara break down the latest U.S. beef controversy, Tyson's $48 million settlement for manipulating the price of pork (who's shocked?), and Beyond Meat's newest venture into the protein craze. They also get excited about the new Farmer Wants a Wife cast and a viral reel of orange season in Valencia, Spain.
