Carson Kahler aka the 6th Gen Farmer joins the podcast at FarmFest to talk about his post-marital bliss, how he cultivates fertilizer from a spark plug, and how to take a 40+ year-old combine kicking and screaming into harvest 2026. The conversation is occasionally informative, consistently entertaining, with just a couple tangents here and there. What else would you expect?

Shianne Reynolds from BranValt, formerly Bushel Plus, joins the podcast to talk about what’s flying out the back of your combine, and why you might want to get that back up into the hopper. We get into harvest loss, the brief discography of the band A-ha, pro-tips for starting a garden, and SmartPans, the technology BranValt is using to take the guesswork out of combine performance, and just how quickly a few kernels on the g...
Part two of our conversation with AgZen CEO and co-founder Vishnu Jayaprakash, where we get more in-depth with RealCoverage; the technology that takes the guesswork out of spraying by showing what's actually making it onto the plant and offering recommendations to improve coverage. From integrated fleet management tools to how the ROI pencils out, we get way into the weeds on RealCoverage, and naturally, a good ways off the rails a...
AgZen CEO and co-founder Vishnu Jayaprakash joins the podcast to talk RealCoverage; a technology that takes the guesswork out of spraying by showing what’s actually making it onto the plant. From taking many unfortunate showers spraying mango trees, to inventing the first closed-loop feedback system for sprayer operators: we dig into how it works, what growers are learning from it, and why better coverage can mean better resu...
She What?! Anne Anderson joins the podcast to talk MY27 updates for 6-series tractors, and at no point in this episode is it mentioned, even in the slightest, that she is the sister of one of the hosts of the podcast. Were we overdue for a familial episode? Absolutely. Is the 6-Series tractor lineup tap-dancing the line between utility and row-crop? Feels redundant to say 'Absolutely' again. Did Anne beat Sam up for a significant p...

If you've ever wondered who keeps the lights on, the equipment moving, and the restrooms... operational, Here's the...
Rod Smith joins the 50 Years & Then Some series to share stories from 38 years of keeping John Deere equipment running. Starting with Bruggeman Co. in Sleepy Eye before it became Kibble Equipment, Rod has seen the technology, the customers, and the industry evolve firsthand. From forage harvesters to 4020s, if it was green and yellow, there's a pretty good chance Rod has worked on it, and has a story to go along with it.
