Talk Dirt to Me

In this explosive episode of Talk Dirt To Me, we're pulling no punches.

We kick things off with our BIGGEST GIVEAWAY EVER, loaded with incredible gear from AgGear, Agzaga, Sorinex, Field Ethos, and Tacticalories. Plus a badass opportunity to join us in-studio as a guest and grab dinner with the crew.

Then we dive headfirst into the controversy rocking the cattle world; why is the American Angus Association under fire for taking a grant from Jeff Bezos? Is it a smart move, or did they just sell out America's ranchers?

We also break down Senator Mike Lee's OFF Act, a bold proposal to end mandatory checkoff programs. Is it the future of farming freedom, or a wolf in sheep's clothing?

And things take a dark turn as we explore a shocking act of agroterrorism. Two Chinese nationals caught smuggling a dangerous fungus into the U.S. A threat that could have devastated our entire ag infrastructure. We lay out exactly what happened and how close we came to disaster.

Finally, in our Made in America segment, we spotlight LawnChairUSA — reviving classic American backyard comfort, built with pride right here at home.

In this episode of Talk Dirt To Me, we kick things off with a recap of the movies we watched over Memorial Day weekend before diving into the relentless rain that just won't quit, and how it's slamming planting progress across the U.S.

We break down the nationwide planting report, discuss how severely behind farmers are this season, and ask the big question: why aren't the markets reacting? With major ag regions underwater or still untouched, you'd think we'd see a spike but so far, it's crickets.

We also dig into the potential end date for the Mexican beef import shutdown due to the screwworm outbreak and what it could mean moving forward.

And don't miss our Made in America spotlight, this week we're fired up about Tacticalories, makers of the bold Helldiver Hot Sauce that'll torch your taste buds in the best way possible.

In this episode of Talk Dirt to Me, we're joined by Emma of @AgWithEmma, a farm girl turned ag influencer who's done it all, from harvesting wheat across Idaho and North Dakota to working the land Down Under in Australia. Emma shares her wild ride on custom harvest crews, her transition into agronomy and crop scouting, and what drew her to the field.

We also dive into the keyboard warriors of social media, the folks who talk trash about farming without ever setting foot in a field. Emma doesn't hold back, and neither do we.

Our Made in America segment features two icons: Harley-Davidson and KitchenAid, brands that still stand for American craftsmanship.

In this episode of Talk Dirt To Me, we break down the latest hot-button agriculture news impacting rural America:

• U.S. suspends livestock imports from Mexico due to a dangerous screwworm outbreak—what it means for ranchers and food safety.

• U.S.-UK trade deal opens new doors for American ag exports—is this a real win or just smoke and mirrors?

• USDA layoffs hit hard, with ripple effects across ag research and conservation programs—we dig into what's really at stake.

• Point Reyes ranchers fight back against federal land use changes—could this become a national showdown over private land rights?

• Tennessee's Farmland Preservation Act is now law—we explain what it does, who it helps, and why it matters for family farms.

Then we lighten the mood by asking the hard-hitting question: Do real men use eye cream? We roast guys with skincare routines longer than a John Deere maintenance manual and debate the tragic rise of shaved chests in modern manhood.

Plus, we give our unfiltered take on the finale of 1923—did it live up to the hype or leave us cussing at the screen?

In this explosive episode of Talk Dirt To Me, we dive deep into the Maude Family case—a powerful example of federal overreach against American ranchers. We break down what really happened, how the Trump administration dropped all charges against the Maude family, and why this case lit a fire across rural America. If you're fed up with government interference in landowner rights, this is a must-listen.

Logan also shares a couple wild personal stories—including how a mobile home was literally dragged across his farm, and two interactions with law enforcement (one by choice, one not so much).

We close with our Made in America spotlight featuring David Protein Bars, a clean, high-protein snack made right here in the USA.

In this powerhouse episode, we sit down with former Army Ranger Patrick Montgomery, the founder of KC Cattle Company, for a raw and inspiring conversation about grit, growth, and the grind of entrepreneurship.

Patrick kicks things off by briefly reflecting on his time in the military before diving into his journey into agriculture—starting as an Animal Sciences major with a different plan before pivoting into the cattle business. He shares how he founded KC Cattle Company, why he chose to go direct-to-consumer, and the wild story behind his Wagyu hot dogs being ranked #1 in the world.

We cover the tough realities of running an ag-based business, the highs that make it worth it, and how those experiences led to the launch of his newest venture: Valor Provisions.

Plus, our Made in America spotlight shines on Macks Belts—handcrafted, American-made belts built for hardworking folks.

In this hard-hitting episode of Talk Dirt To Me, we dive into one of the most controversial topics in rural America today—should farmers ever sell their land? We tackle listener questions before getting into the gritty details of land value, the long-term cost of selling for development or solar farms, and whether "progress" is really worth the price.

Is cashing out a smart move or selling out your legacy? Is there a difference between a housing subdivision and solar panels blanketing your fields? We don't hold back as we break down the cultural, financial, and generational implications.

Plus, our Made in America Spotlight is on Liquid Death. The bold canned water brand shaking up the beverage industry with American grown grit and a marketing hammer.

In this explosive episode of Talk Dirt to Me, we break down the latest in the U.S.–China tariff war and what it means for American farmers. Will China's retaliation cripple ag exports, or is U.S. grain still a global necessity? We unpack the facts and share where we stand.

Then we tackle the bombshell news that Bayer may drop Roundup if the government doesn't grant them litigation protection. Could this shake the entire ag industry? We explore the real-world ramifications, whether Roundup truly causes cancer, and what farmers could be forced to use instead.

Plus, we take on some sharp listener questions and shine a spotlight on this week's Made in America segment: Pak Mule — the ultimate American-built cargo rack system designed for those who live hard and haul heavy.

Whether you're in the cab or the shop, this is the kind of raw, unfiltered ag conversation you won't get anywhere else.
