Description

Beef farmer (and former dairy farmer) Trampus Harmon joins dietitian Jessica Wilson to talk about raw milk. We’ve seen the rise of raw milk influencer-culture and Jessica wanted to talk with someone who knows the ins and outs of dairy cow farming. The two chat about the safety of raw milk and how influencers are impacting the farming landscape. Trampus introduces Jessica to the dairy buyback program which she will explore in future episodes. Trampus answers some listener questions and helps Jessica interpret a viral video about grass fed beef. 

Bonus voice memo from Dr. Jeff Sherman-Duncan!
