The Southeastern Land Show

Meet the woman behind the scenes of The Southeastern Land Show, our own Jenn Bacon! Recorded live from Lake Guntersville State Park, Jenn opens up about growing up on her grandfather's farm in Georgia, the life lessons that shaped her, and her nine-year mission to raise monarch butterflies and grow milkweed gardens, one garden box at a time.

It's family, faith, and a whole lot of butterflies… you don't want to miss this one.

15-time Grammy winner and Alison Krauss & Union Station bassist Barry Bales joins Brian and Cary this week! They talk bluegrass, songwriting with Chris Stapleton, and running his family's sixth-generation farm in Northeast Tennessee. From Red Rocks to regenerative agriculture, it's a conversation about music, land, and the legacy that ties them together.

It's the #1 question in the land business, and on this episode of the Southeastern Land Show, Brian and Cary explain why starting with a per-acre number is often the wrong approach. They dig into how location, tract size, highest and best use, comparable land sales, zoning, and conservation use value assessment all factor into land value. They'll give you a real look at how land appraisal works across Alabama, Georgia, and the Southeast. Have a question about your own property's value?

Brian and Cary sit down with Firefighter turned blind builder Joey Bruce (Sad Daddy Blinds). He returns to break down the #1 mistake hunters make with blind placement, his go-to food plot seed mix, and the faith behind his fast-growing company. Bonus: you'll get fall land-selling tips to kick off deer season.

Recorded live at the Alabama Forestry Association Annual Conference in Orange Beach, Brian and Cary sat down with Katherine Robertson, Chief Counsel in the Alabama Attorney General's office (Nominee for Alabama Attorney General). Katherine's family has been on their Dallas County land since 1818! She talks about protecting Alabama's farming families, balancing growth with the state's forestry and agriculture industries, and what the AG's office actually does. Southeastern Land Group's George Mann also returns to talk about where the timber industry is headed and to share stories from his recent safari in Mozambique with his son.

This week on the Southeastern Land Show, Brian and Cary sat down with Dave Milton (President of Southeastern Land Group & owner of Pinhoti Ridge Retreat) and Kimm Wright (Executive Director of the Pinhoti Experience Foundation). Learn what the Pinhoti Trail has to offer: from its surprising ties to the Appalachian Trail, to what it takes to hike a 12-month "Triple Crown," and how one 40-acre property along Talladega Creek turned into a five-cabin retreat. 350 miles. Two states. One incredible trail.

Retired game warden Jeff Brown is back with some of his funniest stories yet, including his own childhood memory of night-hunting rabbits with his dad (and getting thrown off the truck). He's also sharing real tips for dove and deer season and lessons from nearly two decades in the field. Funny and useful, this is a can't-miss!!

Brian and Cary talk with Pete Folmar (Southeastern Land Group) and Dan Glenn of Deep Grass Grazers to uncover the secret to a thriving cattle herd… and it starts closer to home than you'd think. From choosing the right genetics to why Dan lets weeds fertilize his pasture, this one's packed with real advice for anyone dreaming of buying land and raising cattle.

Meet Amanda Patterson, our office manager here at Southeastern Land Group! She's the glue that keeps our whole team running smoothly, and is a true land-living enthusiast with a soft spot for her pet turkeys and horses. Plus, land agent Chip Williams calls in from North Georgia to talk poultry farms, growing his business through social media, and teaching his kids to water ski on Lake Martin. A fun, laid-back episode getting to know the people behind the land!
