Episode 152: Tara and Natalie Dropping Truth Bombs on the Agriculture Industry!

Welcome to the Plant Free MD podcast with Dr Anthony Chaffee. In this episode, I interview Natalie and Tara or the Discover Ag podcast on the misunderstandings and outright falsehoods portrayed about livestock agriculture. Natalie Kovarik and Tara Vander Dussen are the co-hosts of the Discover Ag docu-series as well as the popular podcast Discover Ag. Collectively they have been advocating for agriculture online on various social media platforms for over 10 years. Together they have fostered a community of over 220k, spoken on stages across the nation and globe, and empowered a community too reconnect to the agriculture industry and the hands that feed us. NATALIE KOAVRIK: From the heart of the Nebraska Sandhills, Natalie shares her ranching and familying story online to showcase the beauty behind the western lifestyle as well as foster a community who supports and trusts in Agricultural as much as she does. She and her husband (and their 3 boys) own and operate Kovarik Cattle Co, a cow calf operation with a growing registered herd where she spends a majority of her days collecting meaningful moments on the ranch bouncing around in a dusty old tractor or out in pasture on horseback. Natalie has created an online community of over 120K, created an apparel line that gave back to ag foundations, spoken on ag stages, hosted business retreats for the ag community and co founded Elevate Ag an online course for producers to learn to effectively use social media to share their story. Tara Vander Dussen: Tara is a New Mexico native, 5th generation dairy farmer, an environmental scientist, and mom of two girls. Daniel, her husband, manages all day-to-day on his family dairy farm while Tara has her own career as an environmental consultant, speaker, online agriculture advocate and podcaster. Tara has had the opportunity to speak at national and global conferences about dairy sustainability including at the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization Committee on World Food Security and the Forbes AgTech Summit. As well as being the co-host of Discover Ag Tara is also the co-founder of Elevate Ag, an online course to provide farmers and ranchers with the tools they need to successfully share their ag story and grow their businesses.
