Ep. 229: Grain Marketing, Crop Diversification & A Scarface Negotiation Strategy
Talk Dirt to Me
This week we’re diving into a round of listener Q&A, and the topics cover a lot of ground across modern farming. One listener writes in with a thought that farmers should diversify crops more instead of relying on the same commodities. Logan and Bobby Lee break down why that idea sounds good on paper, but in reality farmers can only grow what there’s a market to actually sell. If there’s no buyer, diversification isn’t always the solution people think it is. We also get into a listener question about grain marketing and go down the rabbit hole of contracts, timing the market, and...

Talk Dirt to Me
In this episode of Talk Dirt To Me, Logan and Bobby Lee dive into some of the biggest and most controversial topics in America right now before bringing it back home to farming, budgeting, and cattle strategy in a down ag economy.

On one side, the libertarian mindset says we should stay out of foreign wars. On the other side, we acknowledge that we do not know what military intelligence knows behind closed doors. It is a real internal...

Ep. 225: Near Murder on Facebook Marketplace, A Rock Climber Con Man & Farm Identity Wars
Talk Dirt to Me
This one goes everywhere. And we mean everywhere. In this episode of Talk Dirt To Me, we break down the most talked-about Super Bowl halftime shows and whether they’ve completely lost the plot or actually delivered. From iconic performances to questionable moments, nothing is off limits. Then things take a dark turn. A listener sends in an absolutely insane Facebook Marketplace story that nearly ended in murder. It is one of the wildest buyer-seller encounters we have ever heard, and it will make you think twice before meeting someone in a random parking lot. We also dive into the story of a...

Ep. 224: Why Farmers Are Fed Up- John Deere, Celebrity Elites, and the Real Cost of Survival
Talk Dirt to Me
In this episode of Talk Dirt To Me, we discuss one of the things, for better or worse, that separates us from a lot of the voices in ag influence. We are willing to say things out loud that may not always be popular or sponsor-friendly. We dive into frustrations many farmers have with John Deere, including right to repair and the growing disconnect between corporate ag and life on the farm. We also talk about Bobby Lee’s highly applauded comment on one of Deere’s Instagram posts, a moment that probably did not help our chances of landing a sponsorship but struck a nerve with farmers across...

Ep. 223: Big Meat, Big Fertilizer, Big Problems in American Ag
Talk Dirt to Me
In this episode of Talk Dirt To Me, we kick things off with a rant every rural American can relate to, idiots driving on icy roads, avoidable wrecks, and Bobby Lee’s road rage when common sense disappears in bad weather. From there, we dig into Rep. Tim Burchett’s warnings about the Big 4 meat packers, why consolidation in the beef industry should concern every cattle producer, and our honest thoughts on the NCBA including how heavily they cater to the interests of the Big 4 and what that means for independent ranchers and cow-calf operators. We also break down Deputy USDA...

Ep. 222: HB 0809 Explained: Pesticides, Farming Reality, and the Truth Behind the Fear
Talk Dirt to Me
In this episode of Talk Dirt To Me, we break down Tennessee House Bill 0809 (HB 0809) the controversial legislation surrounding pesticide liability, chemical manufacturers, and modern agriculture that has sparked heated debate online and across farm country. We cut through the noise and explain what HB 0809 actually does, what it doesn’t do, and why, contrary to viral claims, this bill does not open the door to more chemicals in your food or water. We walk through the realities of farming today, including how little crop protection products are actually used, when chemicals are...

Ep. 221: Farm Bureau Convention Live: Can Farmers Survive 2026? feat. Joby Young
Talk Dirt to Me
This week we went LIVE from the American Farm Bureau Federation Convention in Anaheim, California with our first-ever live show in front of a crowd. Logan and Bobby Lee kick things off with a no-BS conversation about the farm economy, the row crop squeeze, and why the barrier to entry for young farmers has gotten flat-out insane. Midway through, we’re joined by Joby Young, Executive Vice President of the American Farm Bureau Federation, to break down what Farm Bureau really is (hint: it’s way more than insurance), how their grassroots policy process works, and what they’re fighting...
info_outlineIn this week’s episode of Talk Dirt to Me, Logan and Bobby Lee dive into a totally new world as they sit down with Tim McGreevy, CEO of USA Pulses. If you’ve ever wondered what pulses actually are, or why farmers across the country are adding them into their rotations. This conversation is a game changer.
Tim breaks down everything from what pulses are (lentils, chickpeas, dry peas, and more) to how they’re grown, harvested, and marketed. Logan and Bobby Lee ask the hard-hitting farmer questions:
-
What does it cost per acre?
-
What kind of return can you expect?
-
How do pulses perform on sub-par or marginal soils?
-
Could they strengthen your crop rotation and fix nitrogen?
The answers might surprise you. Pulses could be a secret weapon for profitability, soil health, and flexibility, especially when corn and soy margins get tight.
If you’re looking for real-world insight, fresh opportunities, and a deep dive into a crop most row-croppers rarely talk about, this episode covers a LOT of ground. You’ll walk away with a new perspective on your operation and maybe even a new crop to try.
Tune in and get ready to rethink what your acres can do.
