Ep 253 | 800,000 acres burned, 40,000 cattle displaced, and entire communities evacuated — the fallout from the Nebraska wildfires has just begun.

This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara share how the ag community is coming together to support them as they recover from the largest wildfire in state history. You'll also hear stories from their recent travels, starting with the largest gathering of farmers and ranchers in White House history all the way to Dutch dairy farms that will make you rethink everything you think you know about European agriculture. Plus, find out which Grammy-award winning singer has been farming for 20+ years (and where you've probably eaten some of their produce).
