In this episode, we’re joined by Casey Maxted—a man whose resume reads like an adventure novel. From his roots growing up on an Iowa farm to serving as a Green Beret in the U.S. Special Forces and later as an FBI agent tackling violent crime and counterterrorism, Casey has seen it all. But his story doesn’t stop there. He’s now channeling his experience and passion into entrepreneurship, running multiple businesses including Cold Zero Whiskey and Pillars of Valor Coffee, and, most notably, serving as Director of Operations at Warrior Rising, a nonprofit helping veterans find purpose through business ownership.

Sawyer and Tork dig deep with Casey about his journey—exploring the sacrifices, camaraderie, and lessons learned along the way. Casey opens up about the transitions between his high-intensity careers, his candid reflections on team building and leadership, and why helping others—especially veterans and law enforcement—drives him. They also get into his family life, how growing up on a farm shaped his work ethic, and how he balances multiple projects with being an engaged dad.

Of course, there’s plenty of talk about whiskey (including some live tasting!), entrepreneurship, and the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people. Whether you’re a veteran, a business owner, or just someone looking for a bit of inspiration and wisdom, Casey’s story is packed with insights and heart. So pull up a chair in the barn—this episode is one you won’t want to miss!

In this episode, Sawyer and Tork sit down with Travis and Torsten, the brains behind Livestock, Water, and Energy (LWE), to dive deep into a revolutionary approach to manure management on modern hog farms. If you’ve ever wondered about turning manure into profit, reducing hauling costs, recycling water, or making carbon credits actually work for farmers, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for.

Over two years in the making, this conversation sheds light on the cutting-edge technology being implemented to separate manure in real time, transforming waste into dry, pathogen-free fertilizer, creating a new revenue stream with liquid nitrogen, and capturing valuable carbon credits—all without relying on government grants or tax credits. Sawyer and Tork share their own farm’s experience as the test site for LWE’s first agricultural system, revealing the nitty-gritty of what actually works, the value for everyday farmers, and why so many have failed at this before.

Whether you’re a livestock producer curious about the future of manure, a skeptic of the carbon credit market, or just interested in how innovation is changing the ag industry from the inside out, this lively and honest episode has you covered. Plus, hear about the challenges, breakthroughs, and the real-life impact on family farms looking to build a more sustainable and profitable future.

So pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee, and let’s get into it—because today, everything that happens in the barn is coming out into the open.

Welcome to Barn Talk! Today, we're thrilled to welcome Jason Mauck to the barn for a conversation that's sure to inspire and inform. Jason is a well-known figure on Ag Twitter, or Ag X, and is recognized for his innovative and outside-the-box thinking when it comes to farming practices. Early on, Jason didn't lean on the phrase "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Instead, he developed a reputation for experimenting and testing new ideas, from relay cropping to unique row widths, always pushing the boundaries of traditional farm operations. Jason's background in landscape management and entrepreneurial spirit led him back to the family farm, where he's embraced unconventional methods to achieve remarkable results. In this episode, he shares his journey, offering insights into his experiments with crops, his thoughts on agriculture's future, and the critical role of being adaptable in the ever-changing farming landscape. Whether you're here for the stories or the insights, this episode with Jason Mauck is one you don't want to miss.
