Farming, Marriage, and Making It Work

In this episode, Tork and Sawyer kick things off with a look at farm life, crop updates, and a hard-hitting market rundown—complete with plenty of honesty about the challenges currently facing agriculture. The guys don’t shy away from the tough stuff, diving into topics like tanking grain and meat exports, the impact of tariffs, and the shifting global economy. But it’s not all stats and politics. You’ll hear about Sawyer’s adventures hosting a Fourth of July party, Tork’s advice on lasting marriages for newlyweds, and a fiery discussion on whether success means moving to the city—or if small towns really are where it’s at. The episode also covers trending listener questions, from market moves and farm management tips to the infamous Epstein list and thoughts on the state of American democracy. As always, the guys throw in some laughs, hard-won wisdom, and an open invitation for you to join in on future Q&As. So grab your seat in the barn—this episode is packed with cornfield common sense, a healthy dose of sarcasm, and plenty of rural real talk.
