Welcome to Barn Talk! In today’s episode, hosts Tork and Sawyer open up the barn doors and let it all out, tackling everything from current farm market updates to hot-button issues in agriculture and beyond. The guys dive into the realities of input costs, farmer bailouts, tariffs, and beef prices in America, giving honest—and sometimes blunt—takes on what’s really hurting farmers and the rural economy.

They share stories from the field, debate the impact of corporate consolidation everywhere from farm inputs to restaurants, and discuss the growing influence of AI on business and jobs. As always, you'll get market insights, candid opinions, and some laughter along the way—including a real-world Amazon vs. Walmart delivery saga. Whether you're a farmer, AG enthusiast, or just curious about what's shaking in rural America, this episode will spark some thought and maybe even get you fired up. So grab your coffee (or run on pure excellence, if you're like Sawyer ), and tune in as the Barn Talk crew dishes on today's hottest issues.
