Ep 259 | Toyota is now farming? Add in a major Farm Bill update and a Kentucky Derby history-making win, and it's been quite the week in ag.

On this week's episode of Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara cover Toyota's surprising jump into agriculture, the amendment that's shaking up the glyphosate fight, and why country bars don't feel like country bars anymore.

Zach Lawless, CEO of Hyer Boots and the great-great-grandson of the man credited with inventing the cowboy boot in 1875, also joins the show to share the brand's incredible history and the exciting new chapter they're writing today.
