Welcome to Barn Talk! In today’s guest episode, we’re joined by Nicole Glenn an agronomist, content creator, and founder of the Farm Company, who’s earned a dedicated following by speaking honestly about agriculture, soil health, and her experiences as a young woman in the industry. Nicole grew up on her family's Kentucky farm, traveled all the way to Australia to farm and explore new perspectives, and has since transitioned from working with big ag companies to independent consulting focused on building soil health and farm resiliency.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Nicole opens up about her journey from tobacco fields to driving brand-new combines Down Under, why soil biology should matter to every farmer, and the practical steps toward more profitable and sustainable farming. We dig deep into the future of American agriculture, the role of women in the field, the rise of content creation in ag, and Nicole’s entrepreneurial vision for rural workwear and community.

Get ready for a real, optimistic, and sometimes disruptive discussion about the challenges and opportunities facing agriculture today full of firsthand perspective, practical advice, and a passion for keeping small farms healthy and thriving. Let’s get into it!
