Farming Wisdom, Life Lessons & Ag Markets

In this episode, today’s episode is a special one—it's Tork’s birthday, and Sawyer isn't letting that milestone slide quietly. They kick off the show with a candid, unscripted vibe (even tossing the usual intro aside) and jump straight into good-natured ribbing, birthday shoutouts, and Tork’s reflections on 54 years of life.Sawyer and Tork talk about everything from starting new gym routines together, attempts at healthier living (with a few hilarious cereal confessions thrown in), and what it’s really like keeping up healthy habits as you get older. The guys also dive into a thorough market update, sharing the latest on corn, soybeans, hogs, cattle, and more—plus some big news about expansions in the meat industry and what it means for rural communities.But it’s not just markets and muscles. Tork gets deep, sharing hard-earned life lessons about struggle, consistency, and the importance of discipline (with a little help from Denzel Washington’s wisdom). The conversation rolls from business tips and time management hacks to why coaching—even for tough, independent farmers—might just be a game changer.And, of course, what would a celebration be without a whiskey minute? The episode wraps up with a toast to memories made and lessons learned, both in the barn and out.Shop Farmer Grade 👇🏻 Learn More About Our New Project👇🏻 SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST ➱ SUBSCRIBE TO THIS’LL DO FARM ➱ LISTEN ON:SPOTIFY ➱ APPLE ➱ Behind The Scenes👇🏻● This’ll Do Farm Instagram ➱ ● Barn Talk TikTok ➱ ● Sawyer’s Instagram ➱ ● Tork’s Instagram ➱ 00:00 Starting Health Journey with Walking07:30 "Crispy Cereal Conspiracy"13:35 "Tesla's Future: Autonomy & Growth"16:38 Berkshire Hathaway's Expensive Shares23:03 Costly Meat Processing Machine Challenges26:20 Weather Challenges in April Planting32:53 Reflecting on Life Choices38:46 Mindset Over Details42:23 Contrasting Mindsets: Focus vs. Escape51:39 Energy Optimization Over Excess Drinking55:55 Understanding Health and Self-awareness01:01:00 F...

Casey opens up about the transitions between his high-intensity careers, his candid reflections on team building and leadership, and why helping others—especially veterans and law enforcement—drives him.

Manure to Money: LWE’s Farming Revolution

In this episode, Sawyer and Tork sit down with Travis and Torsten, the brains behind Livestock, Water, and Energy (LWE), to dive deep into a revolutionary approach to manure management on modern hog farms. If you’ve ever wondered about turning manure into profit, reducing hauling costs, recycling water, or making carbon credits actually work for farmers, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for.Over two years in the making, this conversation sheds light on the cutting-edge technology being implemented to separate manure in real time, transforming waste into dry, pathogen-free fertilizer, creating a new revenue stream with liquid nitrogen, and capturing valuable carbon credits—all without relying on government grants or tax credits. Sawyer and Tork share their own farm’s experience as the test site for LWE’s first agricultural system, revealing the nitty-gritty of what actually works, the value for everyday farmers, and why so many have failed at this before.Whether you’re a livestock producer curious about the future of manure, a skeptic of the carbon credit market, or just interested in how innovation is changing the ag industry from the inside out, this lively and honest episode has you covered. Plus, hear about the challenges, breakthroughs, and the real-life impact on family farms looking to build a more sustainable and profitable future.So pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee, and let’s get into it—because today, everything that happens in the barn is coming out into the open.Use code BARNTALK for 10% OFF your next order Learn More About Our New Project👇🏻 SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST ➱ SUBSCRIBE TO THIS’LL DO FARM ➱ LISTEN ON:SPOTIFY ➱ APPLE ➱ Behind The Scenes👇🏻● This’ll Do Farm Instagram ➱ ● Barn Talk TikTok ➱ ● Sawyer’s Instagram ➱ ● Tork’s Instagram ➱ 00:00 "New Frontiers: Beyond Snake Oil"07:06 Wastewater Treatment for Pig Farmers11:20 Carbon Credits: A Controversial Market16:09 Conventional Pig Farming Explained25:30 "Solving Expanding Water Proble...

America on the Brink: 2024 Election Awakening and Farmer Struggles

Welcome to Barn Talk! In this episode we touch on the challenges faced by American farmers, including sustainability and corporate influence on agriculture.

Additionally, we share our skepticism towards COVID-19 severity, vaccination efforts, and government overreach. The conversation extends to media consumption, trust, and the public's shift toward transparency and authenticity in brands.
