We're joined this episode by a friend from way back! Aaron Wenger used to live in Tennessee but eventually found his way back to Iowa and now farms full-time.

Rain rain and more rain.  We discuss the challenging weather we are facing here in our area.  Planting is behind overall and not just because of the rain but also the temperature.  We both share why we're a little extra tired this episode. Then we go into a listener question about grazing cover crops.  That leads into a pretty good discussion about cover crops in general.

We explore a multitude of current events in the farming arena in this episode along with sharing that farmers may be even dirtier than people think.  Are we going to see a shortage of turkey at the stores? Hows the cattle bill going? These are just a couple of the topics we discuss before ultimately settling in on regenerative ag practices. We talk about the film "Biggest Little Farm" and how they turned a very damaged farm into a thriving eco-system.  Is this the future of agriculture? Listen in to hear us discuss all this!

This episode we explore a few various topics as typical before we settle in on the power of niche markets.  We share how you can make a good living on very few acres if you pursue some of the more speciality crops, and types of cattle.  This is the golden age for niche markets in our opinion, and we encourage you to consider this idea.  Join us in the episode as we share our thoughts on the matter.

Would you have ever thought that a dictator attacking another country would have drastically affected prices for farmers and ranchers all the way back home in Tennessee?  Well it definitely does.  We discuss the insane volatility of the commodity markets these days and how it is going to affect everyone regardless of if they're a farmer or not.  The better question is will it ever go back to normal?  Hear us share our thoughts on that in today's episode.
