episode 12. Cranberry Bog Spiders, Soybean Tariffs, Animal vs Human Supplements, & Worm Farms cover

Beskrivelse

This week on The Rooted and the Wild, we’re wading into cranberry bogs and meeting the spiders that live there, while wishing we could meet the men from the old Ocean Spray commercials. Then, Rosa shares some news that will hopefully make some farmers happy with an update on the soybean market and China’s recent move to buy U.S. crops. Angela found a way that some are getting their supplements at a discounted price...when they're purchased from the animal supply aisle! Lastly, we discuss the benefits of having 1000's of pets, especially when they're worms! This episode is a mix of fun ag stories you didn’t know you needed.

episode 14. Harry & David Pears, Horse Herpes, Milk in Schools, and Campbell's Soup cover

14. Harry & David Pears, Horse Herpes, Milk in Schools, and Campbell's Soup

This week on The Rooted and the Wild, we kick things off with Trader Joe’s Harry & David pears—because apparently nothing says holiday luxury like fruit wrapped in gold. We do a taste test to see if they really live up to the hype. Then we dive straight into the wild world of NFR prep and the latest equine herpes scare. We discuss what this means for horses, riders, rodeo teams, and Las Vegas. We also break down the big news from the school lunch front: 2% and whole milk are finally making their comeback, and yes… we talk about why chocolate milk sometimes has that questionable slimy vibe (you’re welcome). To finish off the episode, we go talk about the recently released files from the Campbell’s Soup VP and debate the usage of bioengineered meat.

13. Turkey prices, the beef market, FFA jackets, and misleading labels

In this week’s episode, we’re carving into the real Thanksgiving mystery: why turkey prices are doing their annual roller-coaster routine, or are they? From there, we wander into cattle country and ask the question everyone’s thinking but no one’s saying, who’s actually calling the shots on beef prices? We also chat about the surprise fashion trend of the season: FFA jackets. Yep, the blue corduroy is back and apparently ready for the runway. And while we’re on the topic of things that look good on the outside, we dig into food labels...what’s real, what’s misleading, and what definitely shouldn’t be fooling anybody. This early-Thanksgiving episode has us questioning everyone, but it makes us realize we're thankful for good food, good company, and the fact that we can laugh at ourselves when we don't understand food pricing, but we pretend anyway.
