In this episode of Talk Dirt to Me, we kick things off with the biggest headline of the week: the clash between McDonald’s and U.S. meat packers. With fast-food giant McDonald’s pressuring meat producers to be held responsible, tensions are rising as the future of American beef production hangs in the balance.
Next, we dive into Georgia's crackdown on drug trafficking, where a major bust exposed $3 million worth of meth hidden in produce at an Atlanta farmers market. Agriculture is being used as a new front for drug smuggling.
Then, we head to Montana, where an 81-year-old rancher was sentenced for breeding giant sheep hybrids using endangered species DNA. His scheme threatened the state's native wildlife and exposed the risks of illegal wildlife trafficking.
Finally, we close with an inspiring story of resilience from California, where Air Force veteran-turned-winemaker Jason Mergenov is using his vineyard to advocate for veterans struggling with PTSD. Through his brand Rockets Red Wine, he’s raising awareness for mental health and supporting fellow veterans on their journey to recovery.
As always, we feature an American-made brand, and this week we're highlighting Tom Taylor Belt, makers of premium, handcrafted leather goods. Tune in for a packed episode covering the meat industry, drug smuggling in agriculture, illegal wildlife breeding, and veteran advocacy, along with a spotlight on American craftsmanship.
