The podcast had a birthday! In honor of the milestone, we are posting a revised edition of a fan-favorite from Season 1, Episode 5: Fried Eggs - Starfire GPS History. There have been some updates to the Starfire GPS line since it was posted, so we thought it was worthwhile to add another chapter to the episode. We have some big plans for Season 2 of Everything Ag & Then Some, hopefully you'll join us on the ride!

Sam, Chris & Dale sit down again with Zach Johnson, otherwise known as the Millennial Farmer, to talk about all the goings on at Commodity Classic, the John Deere model year '25 product launch, how many bag phones Chris has owned, how social media farming has changed agriculture, why Duck Duck Gray Duck is better than the goose game, and how Zach deals with hackers.

Sam, Chris & Margo are joined at Commodity Classic by Bryan Earwood, Large Tractor Marketing Manager for John Deere, to talk about the biggest addition to the Deere tractor lineup, the 9RX 830, including how it meets emissions standards without DEF, how to troll the internet into thinking it did, and how a chrome stack would add even more horses.

Sam, Chris, & Margo are joined at Commodity Classic by Nathan Kramer, Product Line Marketing Manager at John Deere Harvester Works, to talk about the new S7 combine models that were introduced for 2025, as well as new harvest automation technology, updates for headers, and how to properly pull off a bright green jumpsuit. 

Sam, Sam, & Chris are joined by Margo Suiter, Product Support Specialist for Kibble Equipment, to talk about what you need to do to get your equipment, data, & technology ready for the incoming spring season. We cover topics ranging from AutoPath setup & mobile row-unit runoffs to Tupperware parties & how to smuggle lunch out of your spring clinics. 

The crew is joined by Kevin Poppel, first-generation farmer, and owner of Poppel Custom Ag Services, who shares the path that brought him to farming, and how innovation has been key to his success. We also talk through the future of our RTK base station network, and why Des Moines is lovely this time of year.

Sam & Chris take the show on the road to Kansas City for the John Deere Precision Ag Business Meeting, and are joined by Jon Ebert and Dan Paschke from John Deere to talk about what’s new in the world of Precision Upgrade Kits, as well as the newest path to Deere precision ag technology, Solutions as a Service. What does this new business model mean for Deere customers, and why is it not going to be called a SaaScription? There’s an easy answer to that second question. 

Sam, Sam, & Chris are joined by Dwain Lammey, Kibble Product Specialist, to talk all the details around the new G5 Essentials Kit, and how this new business model is disrupting the current precision ag market, and what that might mean for the future of John Deere technology.
