Talk Dirt to Me

In this powerhouse episode, we sit down with Bert Sorin, President of Sorinex and one of the most dynamic voices in strength, leadership, and legacy. From his early years immersed in the outdoors to competing in college athletics, Bert shares the journey that led him to take the reins of the legendary Sorinex brand.

We dive deep into the Sorinex Farm, where agritourism meets innovation—discussing the events happening there and some bold new ventures Bert is considering to take things to the next level. Along the way, we poke fun at just how terribly most farmers eat (yeah, we said it), but the real heart of this episode? Fatherhood, and the raw, honest talk about passing the torch to your sons. Done right, it builds empires. Done wrong, it can break everything.

If you're into legacy, leadership, and living with purpose—this one's for you.

You'll appreciate our Made in America segment as Bert names multiple awesome American companies!

On this episode of Talk Dirt to Me, we're joined by Dustin McArthur, a precision ag specialist for Helena Chemical who knows agronomy like the back of his hand. We take a deep dive into corn and soybean strategies for 2025, breaking down whether farmers should cut costs on their fertility plan, which inputs matter most, and how early they should plant to maximize yield. We also get into the hot debate on fungicide—does it actually pay off, or is it just another expense? Just how beneficial are cover crops and what blends work best? And of course, the big question on every soybean grower's mind: how can you hit 100-bushel beans? If you're looking to fine-tune your farm's strategy and get the most out of your acres, you don't want to miss this one.

Plus, in our American Made segment, we're spotlighting two powerhouse brands: Black Rifle Coffee Company and Lodge Cast Iron—both built on grit, quality, and American craftsmanship.

This episode of Talk Dirt To Me is packed with big agriculture news and some of the hardest laughs we've ever had. We break down when farm relief payments are coming, how much to expect, and what it means for farmers. Then, we dive into Brooke Rollins' plan for agriculture, including her approach to the ongoing avian flu crisis and what that will look like.

We also discuss the letter to Joe Rogan, calling on him to feature conventional farmers and ranchers on his podcast. Will he listen? And speaking of misinformation, we take a hard look at The Food Babe's fear-mongering, exposing her misleading claims about GMOs, pesticides, and modern farming.

But it's not all serious—we truly laughed harder than ever in this one, making some wild innuendo jokes about shotgun shells and garden hoses that took the conversation completely off the rails.

To wrap up, our Made in America segment highlights Hold Up Displays for top-quality gun racks and Mossberg Shotguns, a legendary American firearm brand.

In this episode of Talk Dirt to Me, we're tackling some burning listener questions. Which head catch is better—C&B or Priefert? We break down the pros and cons of each. Then, we dive into whether starting up in alfalfa is a viable way to make a living in today's market. Plus, we double down on a message we've preached before—run whatever equipment works best for you, no matter the age.

But the big topic of the day? Farm subsidies. This is hands down one of the most misunderstood aspects of agriculture, so we take a deep dive into how much farmers actually get, who benefits the most, and why the public perception is often way off base.

And in our Made in America segment, we're highlighting Freeze Miser, a product built to protect water lines and keep your operation running in the cold.

In this episode of Talk Dirt to Me, we tackle one of the biggest problems in agriculture today—division amongst farmers/ranchers. Whether you're running the latest high-tech machinery, running cattle, or sticking with antique equipment, every farmer/rancher plays a crucial role in keeping American agriculture alive. Yet too often, instead of working together, farmers turn against one another, losing sight of the bigger picture. We discuss why unity is more important than ever and how social media has only fueled this divide, creating a space where arguments replace real conversations. Without face-to-face interaction, it's easy to tear each other down instead of standing strong against the real threats facing the industry.

We also take on the elitism among some who run antique equipment, addressing the idea that newer technology somehow makes farmers less legitimate. On top of that, we break down a major development in the agricultural world—one of the Big 4 meat packers is making a move into the egg industry, and egg prices are already on the rise. What does this mean for independent producers, and what should farmers be watching for?

Finally, in our Made in America segment, we highlight The Zimmer Doctrine, an action-packed thriller written by C. G. Cooper and narrated by Logan, now available on Audible. Tune in for an honest conversation about the issues shaping agriculture today, and be sure to subscribe and share to support independent farming.
