Your Ag Empire

In this deeply personal conversation, ag media personality Kirbe Schnoor opens up about the hidden struggles facing farming families across America. Growing up on an almond farm in California's Central Valley and now hosting Farm Her and Ranch Her on RFD-TV, Schnoor has witnessed both the triumphs and tragedies that define rural life. From her family's own experiences with the highs and lows of agriculture to the stories she encounters while traveling the country, this episode tackles the mental health crisis in agriculture head-on. Schnoor discusses the unique pressures facing multi-generational farms, the isolation that comes with farming life, and how women often become the emotional backbone of agricultural operations while dealing with their own identity struggles. This isn't just about telling agriculture's story—it's about acknowledging the very real human cost of feeding America and the urgent need for more honest conversations about mental health in rural communities.

In this episode, we cover:

• Mental health challenges in agriculture are intensified by generational pressure and isolation. Multi-generational farms carry the unique burden of not wanting to be the generation that loses great-grandpa's farm, creating enormous psychological pressure that other industries don't face. Combined with the isolating nature of farm work, this creates a perfect storm for mental health struggles.
• Women in agriculture often bear the emotional load while maintaining their own identity. Farm and ranch wives frequently serve as the emotional support system for their spouses while simultaneously managing household responsibilities, helping with business operations, and often sacrificing their own identity in the process. This dual burden requires recognition and support.
• Communication breakdowns between farm couples compound stress and isolation. Male farmers and ranchers often try to shield their spouses from business stresses, leading to communication gaps that prevent couples from working through challenges together. Open, honest dialogue is essential for family mental health.
• Agriculture faces unique external pressures that affect mental well-being. From regulatory challenges and labor law constraints to water restrictions and land consolidation pressures, farmers deal with variables beyond weather and markets that most other industries don't face, creating additional stress layers.
• Authentic storytelling is crucial for building understanding and support. Media representation of agriculture must show both the beautiful and difficult realities of farm life. Honest stories that don't shy away from discussing struggles, failures, and mental health challenges are essential for building genuine support and understanding from both within and outside the agricultural community.

Gavin Spoor represents the new generation of agriculture—first-generation farmers who are building empires from scratch in a world where most inherit their operations. Starting with just six rented acres in Northeast Missouri, Spoor has grown to farm 2,000 acres of row crops and specialty popcorn, proving that you don't need legacy land to create something significant. In this conversation, Spoor shares how he leveraged social media to build both his farming operation and his direct-to-consumer popcorn brand, the challenges of rapid growth without generational guidance, and why he believes opportunity still exists for young farmers willing to work for it. From rebuilding old equipment to navigating the balance between ambition and sustainability, this episode explores what it really takes to build an agricultural empire in the modern era.

In this episode, we cover:

• Rapid growth requires skill development to keep pace, or it becomes dangerous. Spoor emphasizes that while he's been blessed with significant growth opportunities, the biggest challenge has been ensuring his education and skill set keep up with the expansion. Young farmers often can't say no to opportunities, but growth without proper preparation can lead to serious problems.
• Equipment strategy should prioritize function over flash for first-generation farmers. Spoor advocates for investing in a quality sprayer for timely applications while being more conservative on combines. He successfully rebuilt a 50-year-old planter with modern technology for a fraction of new equipment costs, proving that smart upgrades can deliver performance without breaking the bank.
• Social media can be a legitimate business tool, not just entertainment. Spoor built his entire operation through strategic use of social media, documenting his journey from six acres and creating invested followers before he even had product to sell. Multiple land opportunities came through social media connections, proving its value beyond just brand building.
• Specialty crops can provide higher margins but require different skill sets. Spoor's popcorn operation involves direct-to-consumer sales, food-grade processing, and careful harvest techniques that are completely different from commodity production. While more profitable, specialty crops demand additional expertise in marketing, packaging, and logistics.
• First-generation farmers have advantages that legacy operations don't. Without family expectations or inherited debt, first-generation farmers have the freedom to innovate, pivot quickly, and take calculated risks. Spoor notes that if he fails, he's only losing what he built himself, which removes some psychological pressure that can paralyze generational operations.

Jordan Morris represents a new breed in agriculture: the first-generation farmer who's building something from nothing in an industry where most inherit their start. From playing with toy tractors as a kid in Iowa to running Midwest Feeders LLC and helping producers manage risk through innovative cattle coverage programs, Morris has carved out his place in agriculture through grit, relationships, and a willingness to embrace both opportunity and failure. In this conversation, Morris opens up about the realities of custom cattle feeding, the importance of risk management tools like LRP and LGM, and how joining Empire Ag has expanded his vision for what's possible. He also shares the personal side of farming—balancing the demands of building a business with being present for his five boys and staying grounded through the inevitable ups and downs of agricultural life.

In this episode, we cover:

• First-generation farmers face unique challenges but bring fresh perspective to agriculture. Morris started with negative $19,000 in equity in 2013 and built his operation from scratch. Unlike generational farmers who inherit land and relationships, first-gen operators must build everything—from credit to customer networks—while learning the business in real time.
• Risk management isn't optional in today's high-stakes cattle market. With feeder cattle costing $2,200-$2,400 per head compared to $700-$900 just a few years ago, producers need tools like LRP (Livestock Risk Protection) and LGM (Livestock Gross Margin) insurance to protect against market volatility. These subsidized programs allow farmers to set price floors and protect margins without limiting upside potential.
• Success in agriculture depends heavily on relationships and customer service. Morris built his custom feeding operation by personally knowing every customer and being available when they need him. In an industry where reputation travels faster than trucks, maintaining trust and delivering consistent service separates successful operators from those who struggle to fill their facilities.
• Being present for family requires intentional choices, not just good intentions. Morris learned early in his parenting journey that working longer hours doesn't necessarily create better outcomes. He now prioritizes involving his five boys in the operation when possible and making their activities as important as his business commitments.
• Having a support network and mentorship transforms both business and personal outcomes. From his early mentor Pat Hammes who trusted him with a tractor, to joining Empire Ag's community of farmers, Morris credits his growth to relationships with people willing to share knowledge, provide accountability, and offer guidance during challenging times.

Brett Hicks spent 11 years juggling three demanding lives simultaneously: running a poultry operation, building a real estate business, and serving in ministry. Then a business partnership dissolved, forcing him to make a decision most people never have the courage to make. Instead of viewing the loss as failure, Hicks saw it as divine intervention—a chance to walk away from agriculture and pursue full-time ministry. This episode explores what it means to leave something you built, how faith intersects with business decisions, and why some of agriculture's greatest lessons come not from success, but from the willingness to step into the unknown.

In this episode, we cover:

• Faith isn't waiting for permission—it's taking the first step. Hicks draws a parallel to Moses at the Red Sea: the water didn't part until after he stepped forward. Many farmers and entrepreneurs pray for doors to open while still clinging to their old ones. True faith requires closing one door behind you before God opens the next.
• Compartmentalizing work and life doesn't work in agriculture—and shouldn't. Unlike most industries, farming naturally weaves family, faith, and business together. Hicks brought his daughters to the farm, ran his business with his wife beside him, and served his church while building his real estate niche. This integration, not separation, created resilience and meaning.
• Growth happens in incremental steps, not giant leaps. Whether training for a half-marathon or building a thousand-acre operation, the lesson is the same: start small, add incrementally, and build momentum. Hicks trained by running one mile daily, then a quarter mile more each week. Quick pivots—like his impulse poultry purchase—rarely go as planned.
• The real crisis in agriculture isn't financial—it's spiritual. Successful farmers in their 50s and 60s are hitting walls not because their operations are failing, but because they've lost sight of their purpose. Hicks emphasizes that retirement without redirection leads to emptiness. The solution isn't selling out—it's finding new ways to invest time and talents that bring value.
• Your value isn't in your business; it's in how you serve others. Hicks left a lucrative real estate career to pursue ministry because helping people mattered more than accumulating wealth. For those feeling called to something beyond their operation, the answer lies in mentoring the next generation, teaching others the trade, and finding fulfillment in passing on knowledge—not in clinging to what you've built.

In this powerful conversation, Tyler Dickerhoof joins Jonathon Haralson to unpack the invisible barriers that keep farmers, ranchers, and agricultural leaders from reaching their full potential. A former dairy nutritionist turned leadership expert, Dickerhoof shares how a childhood tragedy shaped 25 years of leadership patterns and why the most successful people in agriculture are the ones willing to be vulnerable. From succession planning failures to the isolation that plagues rural communities, this episode tackles the hard truths about fear, identity, and what it really takes to lead well in an industry that rewards grit but rarely teaches growth.

In this episode, we cover:

• Leadership in agriculture is rarely taught, only inherited. Most people in ag end up in leadership roles because they were next in line, not because they developed the skills to lead people well. The industry focuses on technical training while neglecting personal development, leaving producers unprepared to manage employees, navigate change, or plan succession.
• Fear and insecurity drive four destructive responses: intensity, insensitivity, isolation, and inactivity. Dickerhoof reveals how unaddressed fears cause people to either bulldoze through problems, shut down emotionally, withdraw completely, or wait for issues to resolve themselves. Recognizing which wall you default to is the first step toward leading differently.
• The refusal to be vulnerable keeps farmers stuck and alone. Agriculture rewards toughness and self-reliance, but that same mindset prevents producers from asking for help, admitting mistakes, or building the relationships that could save their operations. The most successful operators are the ones who link arms with others instead of trying to do it alone.
• Succession planning fails when the leading generation has no identity beyond the farm. Older producers resist handing over control because they don't know who they'll be without the operation. Creating a clear role and identity for retiring farmers is essential to passing the baton successfully.
• The future of agriculture belongs to those willing to innovate and think differently. First-generation farmers and young producers unafraid to challenge tradition are finding profit in roadside stands, bottling plants, and direct-to-consumer models. The industry rewards those who separate emotion from business decisions and embrace change instead of clinging to legacy for its own sake.

There is a farmer somewhere right now running on ibuprofen and willpower. He has been hurting for months. He needs to see a doctor, but the nearest clinic is an hour away, and harvest does not stop. Farley Schweighart built a business for that exact person. She is a physical therapist who operates Rural MedEx, a mobile, cash-pay practice that meets farmers, ranchers, and rodeo athletes where they work. She treats patients on tailgates, in farm shops, and beside horse trailers. In this conversation, Farley talks about why people in agriculture ignore their health, the reality of building a non-traditional business, and why champions are masters of the basics.

In this episode, we cover:

• Masking an injury with medication does not fix the root cause. It just guarantees a bigger problem down the line. Listen to what your body is telling you before it forces you to stop.
• You have to fix the rider to help the horse. Agricultural and performance professionals will spend thousands on veterinary bills while ignoring their own broken bodies. You cannot operate at a high level if your own mechanics are falling apart.
• Asking a farmer to lose four hours of a workday to sit in a beige waiting room is a losing battle. Schweighart stripped away the insurance red tape and built a transparent, cash-pay practice that respects her patients' time.
• Champions master the basics. Whether you are running a business, competing in the arena, or rehabbing a shoulder, success is rarely flashy. It comes down to doing the simple, unsexy work day after day.
• You can only fix your corner of the world. Burnout happens when you try to change a massive, broken system. You find traction when you stop trying to save the whole industry and start doing good work right where you stand.

Terren Moore signed up for an FFA elective in high school just to get an easy A. That one decision changed his life. He started Moore Peas Company from a backyard patch while still in high school, built a produce business with zero capital, and eventually launched MFI Agency, a farm and ranch insurance firm that now serves clients across 15 states. In this conversation, Terren talks about mentorship, the power of relationships, why leadership matters more than talent, and what it actually takes to build something real when you are starting from nothing. This is a story about hard work, faith, and the willingness to step through doors even when you cannot see what is on the other side.

In this episode, we cover:

• You are one decision away from changing your life. Terren signed up for an FFA class just to get an easy A. That one choice led him to farming, mentorship, business ownership, and the career he has today. Every decision matters.
• Mentorship is the difference between thriving and surviving. Terren did not know how to drive a tractor or plant seeds at the right depth. An older farmer from his church taught him. Without mentorship, he never would have gotten the farm off the ground.
• Leadership is more important than sales skills. You can be the best salesperson in the world, but if you cannot lead a team, calm down a frustrated client, or handle conflict, your business will crumble. Leadership is the skill that scales.
• You never really start from scratch. Even when Terren left Farm Bureau to start his own agency, he was not starting from zero. He had relationships, experience, and skills he had built over years. You bring everything you have learned with you.
• Take care of yourself first. If you are not mentally, physically, and spiritually healthy, you cannot take care of your team, your family, or your business. Read, exercise, pray, and make sure you are in a position to give when the world demands your attention.

Most people know Kent Rollins as the cowboy cook from YouTube. But long before the views and the cookbooks, he was feeding cowboys on the trail with little more than a chuck wagon and a well-seasoned iron skillet. Today, he has a hit show called Cast Iron Cowboy on the Outdoor Channel, a loyal following of millions, and a mission that has not changed: feeding hearty meals to hungry cowboys with food that incorporates the flavors of each ranch's region. Kent's story is proof that honoring where you came from does not mean you cannot do something new. In this conversation, Kent talks about growing up along the Red River in southwest Oklahoma, the lessons he learned from old-timers who stood tall as giant oak trees, and why he walked away from a stable job with benefits to buy a chuck wagon and bet his entire life on faith and hard work.

In this episode, we cover:

• Kent's father told him to find something he loved and do it better than anyone else. He quit a full-time job with benefits to buy a chuck wagon and cook for ranches. He has been on vacation ever since.
• Kent walked away from security to pursue a passion. He did not have a backup plan. He trusted God, worked harder than everyone around him, and built a legacy that reaches millions of people.
• Kent's cookbooks are not just recipes. They are full of stories because that is how people communicate, preserve history, and leave a mark on the world. He wants people to remember what he did while he was alive, not what is written on a headstone.
• YouTube and faith built something traditional media could not. Kent and his wife Shannon spent years filming videos on an iPhone and editing on a laptop. They turned down network deals that wanted to change who they were. They built their own platform where they could say "God bless America" and pray for people without anyone telling them to stop.
• The American rancher is not a dying breed. Kent uses his platform to showcase ranches across the country that are still raising cattle the way it was done over a century ago. Technology has improved the process, but the core mission remains the same: be a steward of the land, raise the best beef in the world, and pass it down to the next generation.

Tyler Dickerhoof grew up on an Ohio dairy farm and spent 25 years building a massive business career. He also spent most of that time operating like a bulldozer. When things got hard, he simply put his head down and pushed. That works in the dirt, but it destroys relationships. In this episode, Tyler sits down with “Your Ag Empire” podcast host Jonathon Haralson to talk about the things leaders bury. They cover the emotional toll of agriculture, why farmers isolate themselves, and what it actually takes to pass the family operation to the next generation without burning it to the ground.

In this episode, we cover:

• When things get tough, the default reaction in agriculture is to put your head down and push harder. That brute force might get the daily job done, but it isolates you and wrecks the relationships you need to survive.
• Elite military units do not look for the guy who can do everything alone. They look for the guy who links arms with the person next to him. Farming is no different. You have to drop the pride and ask for help.
• The older generation holds onto the checkbook and the daily decisions because they do not know who they are without the farm. Passing the baton only works when the exiting leader has a real, productive role to step into.
• The previous generation plowed with horses. You drive a tractor. The next generation might use robotics or artificial intelligence to run the dairy. Adapting to the market and using new tools is exactly how the operation stays alive.

There is a farmer right now running on ibuprofen and sheer willpower. He has not seen a doctor because the nearest clinic is an hour away, and harvest does not stop. Farley Schweighart built a business for that exact person.
