We tackle listener questions before getting into the gritty details of land value, the long-term cost of selling for development or solar farms, and whether “progress” is really worth the price.

We don’t hold back as we break down the cultural, financial, and generational implications. Plus, our Made in America Spotlight is on Liquid Death.

Why Farmers Must Unite, Social Media’s Divide, and Big Ag’s Next Move

Why Farmers Must Unite, Social Media’s Divide, and Big Ag’s Next Move
In this episode of Talk Dirt to Me, we tackle one of the biggest problems in agriculture today—division amongst farmers/ranchers. Whether you’re running the latest high-tech machinery, running cattle, or sticking with antique equipment, every farmer/rancher plays a crucial role in keeping American agriculture alive. Yet too often, instead of working together, farmers turn against one another, losing sight of the bigger picture. We discuss why unity is more important than ever and how social media has only fueled this divide, creating a space where arguments replace real conversations. Without face-to-face interaction, it’s easy to tear each other down instead of standing strong against the real threats facing the industry. We also take on the elitism among some who run antique equipment, addressing the idea that newer technology somehow makes farmers less legitimate. On top of that, we break down a major development in the agricultural world—one of the Big 4 meat packers is making a move into the egg industry, and egg prices are already on the rise. What does this mean for independent producers, and what should farmers be watching for? Finally, in our Made in America segment, we highlight The Zimmer Doctrine, an action-packed thriller written by C. G. Cooper and narrated by Logan, now available on Audible.

Surviving 2025: Cost-Cutting and Diversification for Farmers
As row crop farmers brace for a challenging 2025, this episode dives deep into strategies to stay afloat. We discuss the importance of analyzing every dollar spent, cutting back on unnecessary machinery costs, and finding ways to weather the financial storm. In today's rapidly changing agricultural landscape, diversifying income streams is no longer optional—sometimes, it even means looking beyond the ag sector for opportunities. We also share our thoughts on going heavy into the cattle sector in light of the poor row crop markets. We wrap things up with our signature "Made in America" segment, shining a spotlight on Elijah Craig bourbon—a budget-friendly, great-tasting American classic.
