Talk Dirt to Me

In this explosive new episode of Talk Dirt To Me, we go all in on the Trump–Argentina beef import debacle that's got every American cattle producer fired up. Is this move to import beef from Argentina really about lowering domestic prices, or is it a slap in the face to U.S. ranchers? We break down what's really going on behind the scenes and why this decision could hit the American beef industry hard.

Logan and Bobby Lee dig into why beef prices are high, whether Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling (MCOOL) needs to make a comeback, and if the NCBA (National Cattlemen's Beef Association) might've played a bigger role in this than anyone's admitting. Did they tick Trump off? Are they even fighting for ranchers?

We also ask the million-dollar question: would we still vote for Trump after this? It's a raw, unfiltered discussion that every cattleman, farmer, and red-blooded American needs to hear.

Plus, we light up some good old pipe tobacco in the studio and talk beef, politics, and patriotism the way it ought to be done! Real, uncut, and unapologetic.

In this week's episode of Talk Dirt To Me, we sit down with Jorge Azevedo, CEO of Fermented Food Holdings, the powerhouse behind iconic fermented brands like Wildbrine, Bubbies, Flanagan Farm, Hawthorne Foods, Saverne, and Silver Floss. Jorge pulls back the curtain on the booming fermented food industry, sharing how they source thousands of acres of fresh cabbage from local American farmers to create premium sauerkraut and naturally fermented pickles all without vinegar.

We dig into:

• Why salt is the most critical ingredient in true fermentation

• How Fermented Food Holdings partners with U.S. farmers to grow massive volumes of cabbage and produce

• The difference between real fermentation and vinegar-based pickles

• How diversification into fermented foods could open new doors for farmers looking to expand their operations

From the farm field to your refrigerator, Jorge explains how they keep quality high, freshness real, and flavor unbeatable. Whether you're a farmer, food entrepreneur, or fermentation fan, this is a fascinating look at one of America's fastest-growing food sectors.

This week on Talk Dirt To Me, Logan shares the surprising story of how he ended up running a set of Estes Concaves in his combine, and why this change could be a game-changer for corn and soybean harvest performance. We also dive into the latest news on the cattle subsidy getting shot down indefinitely, but was it really just a political ploy? From there, we zoom out to talk about life's bigger picture (why we're just blips on the radar and shouldn't stress so much), plus a segment about why Creed should headline the Super Bowl halftime show.

In this hard-hitting episode of Talk Dirt to Me, we dive deep into some of the most controversial issues shaking American agriculture right now. The U.S. government is considering subsidizing the cattle industry, and cattlemen across the country are calling it a terrible idea. We break down why this move could backfire, distort the beef market, and hurt ranchers long-term.

We also discuss how the United States is preparing to bail out Argentina, one of our biggest competitors in the global soybean market. What does it mean for row crop farmers, U.S. soybean prices, and the already struggling American ag economy? Are we essentially cutting our own throats by funding a competitor?

On top of that, we answer a wide range of listener Q&As from cattle production to row crop farming. If you are a farmer, rancher, or ag entrepreneur looking for real talk about what is happening in agriculture right now, this episode is for you.

In this somber and hard-hitting episode of Talk Dirt To Me, we confront the tragic state of America today where hatred, violence, and division are spreading like wildfire. We discuss the heinous murder of Charlie Kirk and the horrific subway killing of a young Ukrainian girl, two heartbreaking examples of how far our culture has fallen.

We reflect on how our nation has become consumed by anger, where life is devalued, truth is attacked, and evil is growing louder. In the face of this darkness, we urge our listeners to be vigilant and prepared, to train and protect their families, to have courage, and to speak boldly and fearlessly share the truth in a world that punishes honesty.

Later in the episode, we answer a listener's question about farming: How many cattle would it take to offset the losses of a devastating year on a typical row crop operation? We break it down with honest, real-world insight from the ag trenches.

"Live so boldly that your enemies celebrate your death."

This episode is a rallying cry to farmers, patriots, and protectors everywhere: America needs courageous men and women willing to stand in the gap.

In this explosive episode of Talk Dirt to Me, we go off on the growing hatred toward American farmers, and we don't hold back. From the endless attacks over subsidies to the ignorant comments about "too many farmers," we set the record straight and unleash the truth.

We break down what the U.S. would look like if a massive percentage of farmers went broke. What happens if 20% of farmers disappear? What about 60%? The scenarios are nothing short of chaos, skyrocketing food prices, restaurant closures, fuel spikes, clothing shortages, and an unraveling of America's food security.

This episode dives into:

• The devastating ripple effects of farmer loss on food, fuel, clothing, manufacturing, and more

• How inflation, shortages, and foreign dependence would crush the U.S.

• Why ignorance fuels anti-farmer rhetoric, and why we're saying "f*$k you" to the haters

If you care about where your food, fuel, and everyday goods come from, this episode is a wake-up call. Farmers aren't the problem, they're the reason you can afford to eat.

This week on Talk Dirt to Me, we're diving head-first into your burning questions, and things get wild. Ever wondered how farmers collect semen from bulls, horses, and even pigs? We break it down with some gritty, no-BS farm talk.

We also tackle the big question in ag economics: what's the best way to learn it? Should you invest in a college degree, or can you gain just as much (maybe more) from hands-on ag extension courses?

Then, we shift gears into one of the hottest topics in agriculture today: farm payments. This is a subject we've been outspoken about in the past, but with the extreme situation farmers are facing in today's ag world, we actually find ourselves rethinking our stance. You'll hear us debate it, wrestle with the realities, and share how our perspective has evolved.

Whether you're a farmer, rancher, ag student, or just curious about the gritty truth of modern farming, this episode brings the heat with honest conversation, wild stories, and unfiltered opinions.
