This week, Valene flies solo and brings on a familiar and special guest: her husband, John.

Together, they give listeners a behind-the-scenes look at life on their farm right now: second cutting hay, Coors barley maturing, cows on public lands, and managing pink eye in the herd. John explains the unique tools they use for treating cattle on desert range, how barley quality is measured, and why chopped hay has been a game changer for their operation.

They also dive into insights from the recent Coors field day—covering everything from Yellowstone’s impact on Coors Original demand, to barley breeding for drought tolerance, stronger stems, and maximizing barrels of beer per acre.

This is an honest, educational, and down-to-earth conversation about resilience in farming, innovation in ag, and the rewards of sticking with it through tough times.
