Do you ever have questions about the food you're eating, but don't know who to ask? Is this good for me? Were the animals treated humanely? Is eating this burger killing the planet? What product should I choose? It can be hard to make decisions, when there are so many options around you and marketing campaigns that spend billions to get you to buy their products. That's why we're here, to tell you the truth about agriculture, right from the horse's mouth-er farmer's mouth.
Jenna Hardy and Joy Nystrom are two 20-something, millennial farmers who are going to ask all the questions you may have, and answer the questions that you never knew you had about agriculture so that you can make informed decisions, based on what you learn. They plan to explain farming- hence Farmsplaining.

Vodka made from milk?
Can vodka be made from milk? Yes. This week we dive into Dairy Distillery and find out how one engineer went from being a basement moonshiner to making vodka from milk. Vodkow is made from milk permeate- a waste product that comes from dairy products. Omid McDonald heard that this waste was being dumped and that farmers had to pay for it, so he thought- why don't we use that waste and make alcohol. Find out how McDonald came up with this idea, and learn how he took something wasteful and turned it into a beautiful product.

Today I dive into the Oscars, what happened there and why it kind of matters. I give my unfiltered opinions on human rights and the comparison to animal rights, why we artificially inseminate cattle and what exactly is the natural world.

The poopcast
Do you ever wonder where your waste goes when you flush it down the toilet? Do you ever worry that farmers don't ACTUALLY care about the environment? Are you ever worried that farmers are destroying the land rather than helping it? In the poop cast, we talk all about- well poop. That is we discuss all the ways that farmers use waste to grow crops, but also how far they have come in short period of time, Joy sits down with Manure Expert- Dr. Katherine Knowlton of Virginia Tech and discusses just how research has helped farmers improve their practices and in turn, has helped improve the waterways. Dr. Knowlton has been researching the effects of animal agriculture on the environment for more than a decade and her research has helped to revolutionize how farmers feed their cows. In today's episode, we discuss all the things that people probably don't normally think about-like where their waste goes, what happens to their waste, how farmers deal with waste, why waste matter, and how antibiotics affect waste in both humans and cows.

Ep. 7 Rosie the Riveter Cows
What's an antibiotic? What is animal welfare? How do we know our cows are happy and healthy?
This week we dive into all these questions with the fun and knowledgeable Dr. Cody Creelman. I pick his brains about everything related to antibiotics and why we use them, to the history of industrialized agriculture, and how we are working together as veterinarians and farmers to make animal welfare better every day.

Annabel and her husband are 5th generation farmers and we talk about everything from how beef cattle are cared for daily, how farmers protect their land, and what it means to eat locally and seasonally.
