Ag's Most Okayest Farm Girls

This week, we’re sharing the things farm girls just know that everyone else probably should. From canceled holiday plans and surprise calf deliveries to ruined shoes, chipped nails, and learning that "real quick" is never actually real quick on a farm. We break down the realities of rural life that don't always make it into the brochures. Whether you're new to agriculture, married to a farmer, or have spent your whole life in the industry, you'll probably find yourself nodding along to more than a few of these lessons.

The conversation also covers why farm communities are unlike any other, the value of knowing where your food comes from, and the appreciation that comes with raising livestock. As always, it's equal parts practical advice, rural wisdom, and a lot of fun!

Father's Day is here, and we’re taking a trip down memory lane to celebrate the dads who helped shape us into who we are today. From Todd-isms to wilderness camping adventures, missing truck floorboards, candy cigarettes, and the classic "walk it off" parenting style, we share some of our favorite memories growing up with our larger-than-life dads.

We also read listener-submitted dad stories, discuss the traits we've inherited from our fathers, and compare notes on the dad habits our husbands have adopted. Later, the conversation takes a turn into conspiracy theories, tick bites, burnout, moo-moos, dairy-themed pajamas, and a few things that made us say, "What the hell?" this week. As always, it's equal parts heartfelt, hilarious, and a smidge unhinged.

This week, we’re tackling a very important question: Is it weird? From making friends with wild animals and eating leftover pasta for breakfast to peeing in the shower, nothing is off limits. We compare quirks, habits, and questionable life choices while deciding whether they're normal, Midwest, rural, or completely feral.

We also dive into farm life realities, potatoes and cannibalism, vasectomy horror stories that unlocked a brand-new fear, and the challenges of dealing with difficult personalities, whether they're eight-year-olds or grown adults. Equal parts funny and relatable, this episode will have you questioning your own weird habits by the end!

This week, we’re talking about something a lot of us struggle with: being your own biggest cheerleader. Whether it’s promoting your business, asking for opportunities, pitching yourself to brands, or finally sharing that project you’ve been sitting on for years, sometimes the hardest part is believing in yourself enough to put yourself out there.

We talk about why confidence is not arrogance, how closed mouths don’t get fed, and why nobody is going to magically discover your talents if you never talk about them. Annaliese also shares behind-the-scenes stories from launching her book, reaching out to media, and throwing herself a full-on book release party complete with a balloon arch.

Of course, the conversation eventually turns into classic Farm Girls chaos with AOL screen names that absolutely should not have existed, period horror stories after getting off birth control, and moon water witchery. This episode is motivational, filled with fun, and a reminder that sometimes the best thing you can do is believe in yourself first.

This week, we’re talking all about raising kids on the farm and surviving the chaos that comes with it. From chore time meltdowns and snack emergencies to balancing naps, cattle work, motherhood, and the constant mental load, we’re getting honest about what this season of life actually looks like. If you’ve ever felt like you’re falling behind at being a mom, wife, farmer, or all three at once, this episode is for you.

We also get into parenting in the digital age, YouTube rabbit holes, overcommitting ourselves to literally everything, vasectomy updates nobody asked for, and the emotional damage of childhood Barbies losing their heads after 20 minutes of playtime. Basically, it’s therapy with farm girls again.

This week, we’re talking about something we tell people to do all the time, but honestly still scares us too: making your voice heard. Whether it’s showing up to a town meeting, talking to elected officials, or speaking up about issues affecting agriculture, it can feel intimidating to put yourself out there. So we brought in someone who actually knows how this stuff works.

Lane Ruhland, an attorney and government relations specialist, joins us to break down policy, advocacy, and why farmers absolutely need a seat at the table. Lane advises nonprofits and political committees on legislative matters, navigating complex regulations, grassroots advocacy, and compliance with campaign finance law.

In this episode, she helps navigate how getting involved doesn’t have to be scary. We also get into the reality of rising farm expenses, why sharing your story matters more than ever, and how even just showing up can make a difference.

Then, because this is still the Farm Girls, we spiral into awkward family lube conversations, work-life boundaries, honeybee feminism, and gardening hacks that might finally help your flowers survive. If you’ve ever felt like your opinion doesn’t matter, this episode is your reminder that it absolutely does.

Don’t forget Annaliese’s new book coming out May 6th, be on the lookout for it on Amazon!

This week, we’re getting a little fired up because, if we’re being honest, it can be exhausting to constantly defend farming to people who don’t actually farm. We talk about the misinformation that’s out there, why not all farms look the same, and why “old school” farming is not always the answer to feeding today’s world. At the end of the day, we just wish more people truly understood what farmers do, why we do it, and how much we care about the land, the animals, and the future.

But don’t worry! We don’t stay serious for too long. We lighten things up with all the wildly inappropriate things you can say on a farm that absolutely do not translate anywhere else, a classic Jomo confession, and a little life chaos. From health insurance headaches to starting a 90s butter mom era, this episode is real talk.

This week’s episode is… a little spicy. We’re diving into what it’s really like being a woman in the workplace, especially in agriculture, and sharing some stories that honestly shouldn’t still be happening in 2026. From being ignored in meetings to straight-up harassment, we’re sharing your submissions and reacting in real time. We get fired up, so hold on!

But this isn’t just about venting, it’s about validation and not feeling alone. We talk about knowing your worth, trusting your gut, and how to handle these situations (including a few very satisfying clapbacks). If you’ve ever felt dismissed, disrespected, or underestimated, this one’s for you.

Go ahead and take a drink every time we say “whimsical” during this episode! We’re leaning all the way into whimsy because, honestly, life is too hard not to. We’re talking about how to bring more fun, creativity, and childlike joy into your everyday life, whether that’s through your space, your routines, or just embracing being a little weird again. From porch geese to fancy drinkware to spontaneous surprises, we’re sharing simple ways to make life feel lighter and more magical.

We also get into a real-life, relatable farm-mom struggle and how to manage, plus a little “what the hell” and “what you ought to know” to wrap it up. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck in routine, or just need permission to loosen up a bit, this episode is your sign to go be more whimsical!

Over-sharers, this one’s for you! This week, we are diving into why saying “too much” might actually be the key to deeper friendships, better conversations, and finding your people faster. From ditching surface-level small talk to embracing the slightly unhinged, we make the case that vulnerability builds connection, even if it occasionally makes things a little weird.

It wouldn’t be an episode without putting that theory to the test. From different conversational scenarios to real listener confessions, we explore where the line actually is and if it even matters. We also get into the realities of sharing online, when oversharing can backfire, and why the right people will never think you’re “too much.” Moral of the story: be yourself, say the thing, and if it gets weird, you’re probably doing it right.
