The Degenerative Ag Podcast

  We got a "nice" pause in our planting schedules, due to ridiculous winds blowing soil all over the dang place.  So, as we do, got a break and went over to the watering hole and put together an episode.

  We go through a few listener questions, and have a fun game of Would You Rather?

  You give us your opinion, but this "short" episode proves the weather needs to turn so we can get in the fields.  We're spending too much on auction purchases, losing money selling at auction, going on vacations, and getting bored at our desks.

  We get a few listener questions in as well, and you can feel the steam rolling from our ears through your speakers while we figure out how to math.

  Please leave reviews if you like our show, and email any questions you have for us.  Pay attention to our social media for giveaways, they happen pretty frequently.

  And, buy a shirt, it might go to the Spra-Coupe fund.

  As you all know, we're suckers for a good, or bad, auction sale.  Are there different ways to approach live auctions vs online?  Is one better than the other? Is it acceptable to stare down the fella bidding against you and sensually lick your lips in an attempt to get them to back down?

  We'll talk all sorts of theories and a bit of etiquette.  In fact, Captain Corporate gives a live demo during the show on online auction practices.  The Garlic Guardian tells a harrowing tale about being harassed by the Smokies on his most recent trip to pick up auction winnings.

  The Son of Saline Soil is gone this week, so don't worry about having to count the curse words.

  April is here, and it's time to say goodbye to winter, and hello to planting season, or so we thought, as we've gotten over an inch of moisture in the last week.  We decided we should share what we are all doing for spring preparation, trying to control the urge to hit the field far too early.  

  Christopher is back from his trip to Greenwich, England, and fills us in on his selfless journey to save Daylight Savings.  And of course, auction updates.

  It's everyone's favorite time of year, pay the tax man.  Can you avoid it? Do farmers really not pay any taxes (a common accusation)?  Where should our tax dollars be allocated?

  We've got a list of things that could potentially written off, if you word it the right way.  Is it possible in the present day to rewrite the tax system to work for the people?  Who knows, but we try and solve that issue by supporting the local barley farmers.

  Given current events, we decided it was time to revisit the topic of subsidies, from a different angle, this time more-so from "the systems" side. Have subsides stifled innovation and farmer's choice?  Can "the system" be changed in it's current form to help new and smaller farmers more, if they want help?

**********Prepare for a pretty epic Son of Saline Soil rant!!!!!!!************

  The Garlic god of Grand Forks County is back from Italy and the olympics, it's quite an update, considering he went for a garlic growers conference, and missed the dates by over a month.

  We have a very special guest this week, a long-time supporter of the podcast, an even longer friend to each of the crew, and most importantly, one heck of a human being.

  Alse joins us to talk about his farming life, what it's been like to start farming from scratch, and what kind of lessons have been learned growing up around the agriculture industry.  

 Also, we give a recap of the Ag on Ice farm show in Devil's Lake, do we think more shows should be this way? YES!  And, we got to meet a celebrity in the Ag world!

 Special guest this episode, Eric from Eric's Custom 3D Grain Setups talks us through his business of custom, one-off 3D printed grain bins and elevators.  How has the toy/collector market changed over the last decade, how much detail can be applied with current technology, and how he's built this business from the ground up.

  He also talks about how he is able to take practically any farmer's grain bin setup, just using pictures sent in by the farmers, to make a precision scale replica.

  He was also generous enough to donate one of his lighted grain bins for us to give away to our podcast listeners.  Stay tuned to find out when and how YOU can win this one-of-a-kind grain bin, either for your collection, or to make your children's dream come true.

  He's finally here in person, Brad The Cobbler!  We got a chance to kidnap him off the farm for a sit down about what it's like completely changing careers after a decade+, the differences between constant public interaction, and the sometimes more remote life on the farm, and the mental health perks of farming.
