  Ep. 257: Could We Actually Survive the Terminators?

  Sep 25, 20261h 42mS1

  Harvest is rolling, so we kick things off with a look at harvest progress across the country and what we're seeing in our own fields. We also get into corn and soybean prices, rising production costs, and whether today's commodity prices are actually enough to leave farmers with money in their pockets. From there, we talk about President Trump's meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, what renewed trade with China could mean for American agriculture, and somehow wander our way into government, politics, and the general state of the world. Then Top 3 sends the entire episode completely off the rails. The question: What weapons are you choosing when the Terminators show up? What follows is an increasingly ridiculous discussion about fighting robots, surviving an AI takeover, whether humanity actually stands a chance, and the slightly uncomfortable question underneath all the madness: Is an AI-driven future like this really as impossible as we'd like to think? We started with harvest and soybean prices. We ended up fighting Terminators. Just another episode of Talk Dirt To Me. Go check out Helena!

  Ep. 256: Is farming so different across the US?

  Sep 18, 202659 minS1

  We're back for round two LIVE from the Helena booth at the Farm Progress Show! This time, we're joined by Helena product managers Mark Christianson and Paul Sauer for a conversation that covers everything from new products to why farming can look completely different depending on where you call home. We dig into Testament, one of Helena's new products, including what it is, what it does, and even how products like this get their names. Because, let's be honest, "Testament" sounds less like something you spray on a crop and more like a metal band. From there, we get into the differences in farming practices across the country. What makes sense in Tennessee might look completely different in North or South Dakota. We talk tillage versus no-till, why certain practices are more prevalent in some regions than others, and how soil, climate, and growing conditions influence the decisions farmers make. It's a great conversation with two guys who know the products and the industry, and another fun episode straight from the Farm Progress Show. A huge thank you to Mark and Paul for joining us, and to Helena for hosting Talk Dirt To Me at their booth and continuing to support the show. We're proud to have them as a partner and appreciate the opportunity to bring these conversations to you live from FPS. Go check out Helena!

  Episode #255

  Ep. 255: Are Americans Entitled to Cheap Food?

  Sep 11, 20261h 24mS1

  Trump's making moves on the cattle side again, but what does it actually mean for producers? We kick this episode off breaking down the latest cattle conversation. Is this basically M-COOL under a different name? Is it something that could actually stick around, or was it an attempt to smooth things over after talk of importing more beef sent shockwaves through the cattle market? We give our take on what it could mean for American cattlemen. Then we get into a conversation that might ruffle a few feathers: has the American consumer become entitled to cheap food? Everybody wants the farmer and rancher to produce the best, safest, most abundant food supply possible, but what happens when they expect it to stay cheap no matter what it costs to produce? After that, we crack open the inbox for a big listener Q&A. We cover everything from cattle and herd bulls to when it makes more sense to custom hire versus buying your own equipment, and whether that bottle calf you raised should really grow up to become the bull running with your cows. And, naturally, it wouldn't be Talk Dirt to Me without somebody getting pissed off. One disgruntled listener took the time to let us know he had officially unclicked the Like button because we managed to trigger him once again. Our response? We're not building a soft audience. Go pound sand. Cattle markets, cheap food, farm equipment, questionable bull decisions, listener emails, and hurt feelings. Just another episode of Talk Dirt to Me. Go check out Helena!

  Ep. 254: $5 Corn & $13 Beans?! What's Driving This Market? Farm Progress Show 2026

  Sep 4, 20261h 10mS1

  We're LIVE from the Farm Progress Show 2026 with Helena Agri-Enterprises! In this episode, we're joined by Jody Lawrence and Austin Anderson for a deep dive into one of the biggest conversations in agriculture right now: what the hell is driving these markets? With $13 soybeans and $5+ corn, we break down what's behind the recent run-up, whether today's markets are more volatile than they used to be, and what farmers should be watching as we look ahead toward 2027. Are these prices sustainable? What forces are moving the market? And what could change the picture going into next season? But good prices only matter if you've got bushels to sell. We also get into the agronomic side of the equation and talk about ways farmers can get more out of every acre. We dig into Grounded, a proprietary Helena adjuvant, why it could be a game changer for an operation, and how it can deliver value without breaking the bank. This was a great episode for us not only because of the conversation, but because we got to record it LIVE from Farm Progress Show and showcase our partnership with Helena Agri-Enterprises.

  Episode #253

  Ep. 253: Did Farmers get what they voted for?

  Aug 28, 20261h 30mS1

  A listener wrote in and asked us straight up why we have our noses stuck up Trump's ass. Fair question. So instead of dodging it, we devoted nearly an entire episode to answering it. We put President Trump's record on agriculture under the microscope and ran the full ledger. Biofuels, the tax package, the death tax, DEF, direct aid, and the latest farm bill failure all went on the board. Then we looked at the other side. Agricultural exports to China, tariffs on fertilizer, chemistry, and iron, and hundreds of thousands of metric tons of foreign beef entering the country while American cattle numbers sit near historic lows. Then we graded him category by category. We also explain why we did not automatically put the trade war in the loss column. Trump told the country exactly what he intended to do about China, and we voted for him knowing it could create some short-term pain. The real question is whether that pain produces anything worthwhile for American agriculture in the long run. But agriculture was never the only reason we voted for him. We are conservatives. We voted for the conservative platform on abortion, the Second Amendment, government regulation, energy, taxes, and the direction of the country as a whole. So we also run the counterfactual nobody seems interested in discussing. What would four years of Kamala Harris have actually looked like for farmers, ranchers, and rural America? Then we finish with one of the wildest farm stories we have ever covered. A Georgia farm boy raised behind three mules went broke raising laying hens, turned his chicken feed into a thousand gallons of moonshine a week, and eventually became one of the highest-paid drug pilots in history, flying cocaine for a big name. Sixty million dollars. Twenty-six prisons across four continents. Five escapes. And through all of it, the only thing he ever truly wanted to do was farm. Go check out Helena!
