Episode Details

I sat down with Jaclyn Wilson, a fifth-generation cattle rancher from the Sand Hills of Western Nebraska. 

Jaclyn helps run Flying Diamond Beef, a ranch homesteaded back in 1888, and she broke down why the "simple country life" people romanticize is actually one of the most dangerous and misunderstood professions out there. 

We talked about the wild misconceptions people have about American agriculture versus what she's seen traveling the world, the terrifying reality of working with animals that can weigh up to two thousand pounds. 

Did you know where your food actually came from growing up, or were you today years old when you found out how much work goes into it?
