Customer Reviews
Just a solid podcast!
This is my favorite podcast right now! I love the banter between Tara and Natalie, y’all make me laugh out loud a lot. I love how you cover the news articles from many aspects, I feel like it always gives me a lot to think about and is very educational. As a beef cattle rancher also from Nebraska I also really appreciate the solid ag advocacy and dispelling myths around ag in an unbiased and supportive way. Thank you ladies!
My favorite podcast!
This podcast gives current ag topics in a way that is personable and digestible in a world that overcomplicates things. I’ve learned so much and share what I’ve learned all the time now. Love being a disco! 🪩
Must listen to podcast!!
I’ve now been listening to discover ag for about a year now. Tara and Natalie do an amazing job covering so many different topics and giving you all of the information. With growing up on a crop and dairy farm it’s always been important to me that we get the true reliable facts out there, and they do just that. While also being so relatable and covering personal topics as well. So if you haven’t listened yet give it a try, you won’t regret it!
