Description
Welcome to a new episode of Barn Talk! On this “Hot Topics” episode, Sawyer and Tork are back in the barn, diving headfirst into the biggest stories and challenges shaping agriculture and rural life today. You’ll get the latest market update, talk of spiking fertilizer prices, and a frank analysis of how global politics, tariffs, and industry dynamics are impacting real farmers.
But it's not just Ag news: Sawyer and Tork get into the booming trades, the realities of AI and automation, and the need for rural youth to rethink what success looks like. From debates about universal basic income and the future of work, to personal takes on masculinity, influencer culture, and building a life that matters, this episode covers it all with humor, honesty, and plenty of barn wisdom.
