Show Notes
Welcome to Barn Talk. From the ins and outs of this year’s harvest – including dryer breakdowns and yield surprises – to the realities of market updates, carbon credits, and the ever-evolving pressures on modern farmers, nothing’s off limits. The guys also weigh in on the changing landscape of agriculture, the future of beef prices, and even the controversy swirling around Jimmy Kimmel’s firing. Throw in some candid thoughts on the NFL, a Friday whiskey review, and shoutouts to friends of the show, and you’ve got a down-to-earth, no-BS conversation you won’t want to miss. Grab your favorite drink, settle in, and join Sawyer and Tork as they share insights, laughs, and a whole lot of heart about the world of farming, food, and life in rural America.

Neil Koch walked away from a good job 4 miles from his house at almost 50 to go full time on YouTube. His channel, Dig Drive DIY, sits at 348,000 subscribers, and it started with videos of a backhoe he was trying to sell on Craigslist. He drove 6 hours from northeast Indiana to tell us the whole story.
Corn is over $5 and beans are near $13, and a lot of farmers still won't make any more money than they did at $4.50 corn. Every time the grain price goes up, something takes it back, and the front half of this Hot Topics episode is about what's doing the taking.
You can't out-yield your way to profit anymore, so Will Cannon is chasing margin with 2 or 3 bucks an acre of homemade compost instead of $40 an acre of bugs in a jug. Two Iowa corn farmers came to the barn this week: Will, an Iowa Corn Growers director from near Prairie City, and Paul Gieselman, president of the Iowa Corn Promotion Board, from near Morning Sun.
Tork's dad lived to 99, flew fighters, practiced law, and paid for a farm. In July 2018 he fell down the basement stairs, and Tork brought him home to die in the same house he was born in. No guest this week. Sawyer and Tork each picked three days that changed their lives, and this is all six.
He grew up with kiddie pools in the attic catching roof leaks and frost forming on the inside of his bedroom wall, and today 1.33 million people watch him drag dead cars out of Iowa fence rows. Kevin Brown runs Junkyard Digs out of Ames, two hours up the road from the barn, and this one is mostly about what being broke actually builds.
