Must listen!

As an ag teacher, growing up on a dairy farm and dating a farmer, I learn so much from these two! I have been listening for about a year now and look forward to every new episode. Not only do they cover relevant topics, but the research they find is amazing. I have definitely used some of their findings in my classes and would recommend this podcast to anyone!

Love it!

I absolutely love this podcast! I am not a farmer but have a lot of interest in agricultural and this podcast shares so much important information and it’s so fun!

Sierra.H19 ,

New Favorite Podcast!

Just started listening in the past couple months and now I have found myself waiting for the next episode to come out. While following along on other social media as well as the disco newsletter I have learned a lot! As well as, have broadened my understanding and knowledge about all different topics within agriculture and surrounding topics! Would definitely recommend to someone looking to learn more about all things agriculture and current trends.
