Welcome to the Dust'er Mud Podcast--Food. Freedom. Farming. We're your hosts, Rich and Shelley McGlamory, from the breathtaking Ozarks' Air2Ground Farms. Come along as we unpack our journey from military life to raising livestock. Brace yourself for this engaging podcast packed with practical advice, captivating stories, and a community that cherishes the 'Insteader' life.
What does “Product of USA” actually mean on a package of beef?
For years, it did not mean the animal was born, raised, and processed in America. In this episode, Rich and Shelley unpack the history of mandatory country-of-origin labeling (MCOOL), why it was repealed for beef and pork, what changed under the new 2026 USDA rule, and why ranchers still say consumers are not being told the whole truth.
They walk through the WTO dispute, the repeal buried in the 2016 omnibus bill, the role of the Big Four meatpackers, and the simple consumer question at the center of all of it: if country of origin matters on so many other foods, why not on beef and pork?
This is a straight conversation about labels, lobbying, ranchers, imports, and your right to know where your food comes from.
If you see Product of USA on beef today, it finally has real meaning. But if there is no label at all, the guessing game is not over.

Trump Just Made Roundup Too Big to Fail. Here's Why!
On Tuesday, Bayer proposed a $7.25 billion settlement to make 65,000 Roundup cancer lawsuits go away — without admitting wrongdoing. On Wednesday, President Trump signed an executive order declaring glyphosate a national security asset and extending liability protections to its sole domestic manufacturer. Then RFK Jr. said the quiet part out loud: ban glyphosate, and 80% of American farmers go out of business.
Same chemical. 48 hours. No way out.
In this episode, regenerative farmers and Air Force veterans Rich and Shelley McGlamory break down what really happened — and why it matters to every American who eats food grown in this country.
We cover the Bayer settlement and what paying billions while admitting nothing actually signals, the Defense Production Act and why Bayer is now effectively too big to ban, the real military supply chain story behind glyphosate and elemental phosphorus, and RFK Jr.'s Catch-22 admission and what it reveals about how trapped the entire farming system really is.
This isn't a story about weed killer. It's a story about what happens when a food system gets so dependent on a single input that the government has no choice but to protect it — even when people are getting hurt.

The New USDA Food Pyramid: What Changed and What Didn’t?
The USDA’s 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines are out—and instead of reacting, we actually read them.
In this episode, we walk through what’s genuinely new, what stayed the same, and where the guidelines still fall short. We talk about the renewed emphasis on real food and protein, the continued fear of saturated fat, the missed opportunity around low-carb nutrition, and what these policies mean for schools, hospitals, and the military.
This is a grounded, honest conversation about food policy, chronic disease, and how we’re choosing to eat in the real world—without outrage, but without ignoring the contradictions either.
