Discover Luke Bryan vs Glyphosate Girl, Sticker Free Supermarkets & America’s Farm Stay Boom
Manage episode 513987333 series 3340830
Ep 232 | This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara dig into viral apple-splitting techniques, controversial rodeo documentaries, farm wellness tourism, and laser fruit labeling technology --- with their usual dose of snark and sincerity.
From Apple Girl Kait's viral fruit-splitting powers (spoiler: the hosts can't replicate it) to the realities of 20-year apple farming lifecycles and GMO solutions for browning, the agriculture education is real. Then they dive into Boot Barn's "Hell on Wheels" docuseries featuring bad boy bareback rider Rocker Steiner, European-style agritourism booming in America, and whether luxury farm stays help or hinder consumer understanding of production agriculture.
The episode wraps with Australia's innovative laser fruit labeling technology that could eliminate 110 tons of plastic sticker waste annually, plus a heated debrief on Glyphosate Girl's attack on Luke Bryan's Bayer partnership. From terminology debates (herbicide vs. pesticide) to food stylists fuming over etched fruit, it's another week of agriculture meeting pop culture with plenty of contradictions along the way..
