Practicing Sustainable Agriculture | How To Farm & Ranch The Right Way

Farming and ranching are an integral part of American culture and food production. For generations, families have been providing crops and livestock to people across the country. So, how are they doing this successfully and sustainably? Tara Vander Dussen and Natalie Kovarik join us to explain…

Tara and Natalie are the two co-hosts of Discover Ag the docuseries and Discover Ag the podcast. For the past ten years, they have been sharing online and building a community around agriculture – which eventually blossomed into an opportunity to educate the public. 

As an environmental scientist, Tara works alongside her husband in Eastern New Mexico on their family dairy farm. In addition to her work with her family, she also helps dairy farmers navigate state and federal regulations and permits.

Living in central Nebraska, Natalie is a fourth-generation rancher who runs Kovarik Cattle Company with her husband, a cow/calf operation. Drawing from her years of experience as a cattle rancher, she is dedicated to showing people how to foster livestock correctly.
