In this episode of Talk Dirt To Me, we break down the latest hot-button agriculture news impacting rural America:
• U.S. suspends livestock imports from Mexico due to a dangerous screwworm outbreak—what it means for ranchers and food safety.
• U.S.-UK trade deal opens new doors for American ag exports—is this a real win or just smoke and mirrors?
• USDA layoffs hit hard, with ripple effects across ag research and conservation programs—we dig into what’s really at stake.
• Point Reyes ranchers fight back against federal land use changes—could this become a national showdown over private land rights?
• Tennessee’s Farmland Preservation Act is now law—we explain what it does, who it helps, and why it matters for family farms.
Then we lighten the mood by asking the hard-hitting question: Do real men use eye cream? We roast guys with skincare routines longer than a John Deere maintenance manual and debate the tragic rise of shaved chests in modern manhood.
Plus, we give our unfiltered take on the finale of 1923—did it live up to the hype or leave us cussing at the screen?
🇺🇸 Made in America Spotlight: We feature Tub O’ Towels, the heavy-duty, USA-made cleaning wipes that actually get the grime off your farm hands.
