About this episode
Agriculture Insight takes viewers deep into the evolving world of North America’s most iconic grazer — the bison. This documentary follows the animal’s journey from open grasslands to the controlled environments of today’s high-efficiency farms. Through selective breeding programs, semi-wild herding, advanced tracking systems, and large-scale feed operations, the film reveals how modern producers manage one of the continent’s oldest species. The story moves from the sweeping prairie landscapes where herds still roam, to the processing plants where precision, safety, and sustainability guide every stage. Experts, ranchers, and food scientists break down how bison has become a premium red meat, prized by chefs and consumers seeking leaner, more ethical alternatives. The documentary keeps its focus on scale, innovation, and the real human labor behind an industry balancing tradition and modern demand.
