This special Thanksgiving episode features Tork and Sawyer Whisler, the father–son duo behind BarnTalk, This’ll Do Farm, and a massive online following that continues to grow year after year. Tork is a 5th-generation Iowa farmer who returned to hog production after time in construction and sales, and Sawyer is a 6th-generation farmer who jumped straight into farming full-time after high school. Together, they run a transparent hog and row-crop operation centered around their brand promise: “Show people where their food comes from.”

We talk about the journey behind BarnTalk, how their follower count has doubled (or tripled) since we last recorded together, and what changes they’ve made in how they film, tell stories, and build community online. They share the mission behind Farmer Grade, the direct-to-consumer meat company sourcing from creators like Sonne Farms, Lightning Cattle Co., Hilbert Farms, Peterson Farm Bros, and others — bringing high-quality protein with a story straight to consumers.

Then we dive into the fun stuff:
• A Thanksgiving snake draft of must-have foods
• Their most non-traditional Thanksgiving dishes
• A holiday lightning round covering turkey vs ham, favorite sides, who’s most likely to fall asleep after dinner, favorite holiday movies, family traditions, gifts, and plenty more

We also explore deeper topics — what fame has taught them about success, what they choose not to share online, childhood stories from the farm, and how Sawyer pushed through the moments he questioned his path.

A high-energy mix of storytelling, humor, transparency, and farm-family holiday chaos — just the way Thanksgiving should be.

Today we’re joined by James (Jim) Eggleston, founding partner of Eggleston King Davis, an agricultural and commercial real estate law expert with offices in Texas and California. Jim specializes in farmland transactions, partitions, entity structuring, asset protection, private equity financing, and complex mediations — all areas that directly impact farmers, ranchers, and multigenerational family operations.

Jim shares how he got started in real estate law, what drew him into agriculture, and how his experience shaped the launch of his firm. Throughout the episode, we explore the world of agricultural real estate and what makes it dramatically different from standard real estate — from zoning and water rights to mineral rights, easements, conservation programs, and estate structures that protect family assets.

We dive into the most common mistakes farmers make in land deals, including red flags in purchase agreements, title issues, unclear access easements, handshake agreements that go bad, and how the right contract language can prevent major financial and legal problems. Jim discusses best practices in leases, seller financing, buy/sell agreements, and entity formation, along with how farmers can use LLCs or family partnerships to protect land for future generations.

This conversation also highlights the importance of having the right team of legal and financial advisors — including partners like Boa Safra — so farmers can grow smarter, reduce risk, and preserve their legacy.

We wrap up with fun questions like Jim’s favorite piece of land he’s ever seen, what law he’d change for producers, and the career he’d pursue if he weren’t an attorney.

A practical, eye-opening episode for anyone owning, renting, purchasing, or planning for the future of farmland.

Today we’re joined by Emerson King, the young Western Kentucky farmer behind the fast-growing online brand Adventures of Farmer King. Emerson operates a full-time row crop farm paired with six large broiler chicken houses, raising thousands of birds while producing corn, soybeans, wheat, and more.

What started as a simple idea to show real farm life has grown into a respected and relatable platform across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook—and now AcresTV. Emerson has become known for his authenticity, humor, and willingness to show the tough, dirty, and meaningful parts of agriculture that most people never get to see.

In this episode, Emerson shares:
• How he got started in farming and what his operation looks like today
• Why he first picked up a camera and how his content evolved
• The realities of raising broilers while filming daily work
• What he’s learned about non-farmer perceptions of agriculture
• The biggest misconceptions viewers have about poultry and row crops
• How social media became a tool for advocacy and education
• His experience joining AcresTV and reaching a bigger rural audience
• Where he hopes Adventures of Farmer King grows next

This is an honest, down-to-earth conversation with a young producer working hard, telling the truth, and helping bridge the gap between farming and the public.

In this episode, the Farm4Profit Podcast gets real about the financial and organizational realities facing today’s farms. Jace Young, CEO of Legacy Farmer, joins the hosts to share how he helps farmers move from “organized chaos” to truly structured, profitable, and sustainable businesses.

He lays out the five most common pitfalls holding family farms back — micromanaging, centralized decision-making, lack of training, absence of core values, and neglecting personal well-being — and explains how each one quietly erodes profitability, family relationships, and long-term success.

Listeners will learn how Jace’s Legacy Farmer System simplifies farm finances, empowers next-generation leaders, and builds confidence in daily decision-making. From financial tracking to leadership development, Jace emphasizes that the most successful farms today are the ones mastering their numbers and their systems, not just their yields.

The conversation wraps with practical advice for any producer wanting to protect their legacy — and a few truths about why taking care of yourself might just be the best business decision you can make.

If you’ve ever felt buried by paperwork, overwhelmed by management decisions, or unsure how to prepare your farm for the next generation — this episode is your blueprint to start fixing it.

In this episode, the Farm4Profit Podcast dives into how the Peterson Farm Bros went from small-town Kansas to global agricultural ambassadors — one parody video at a time.

Greg shares the story behind launching their first viral video in 2012, the family’s passion for using humor and music to educate the public, and how they balance content creation with the demands of a 1,000-head cattle operation and 2,500 acres of crops. The brothers open up about their family’s multi-generational legacy, their faith, and how opening their farm to the public has built a bridge between rural life and urban audiences.

Listeners will also get a behind-the-scenes look at their creative process, their latest projects like subsurface drip irrigation, and how they keep their message authentic while touring the country speaking at major ag events like Ag PhD Field Day, Farm Technology Days, and FFA conventions.

This conversation is a mix of inspiration, laughter, and lessons on using creativity to advocate for agriculture — while still making it home in time for chores.

In this Farm4Profit episode, the crew sits down with Randy Marcks, Sukup Steel Buildings expert, to discuss the evolution of steel structures in modern agriculture and how smart planning leads to stronger, more efficient operations.

Steel buildings aren’t just about durability—they’re about design precision, longevity, and adaptability. Randy walks us through Sukup’s building innovations—from I-beam structural corners and Galvalume+ steel panels, to factory-welded clips and pre-punched components that make installation faster and more accurate.

But before the first bolt goes in, Randy emphasizes what farmers should consider:

Future use planning: Think beyond today—design for changing equipment or livestock needs.

Size and layout: Bigger isn’t always better; right-sized buildings drive efficiency and cost control.

Site prep and foundation: Proper grading, compaction, and soil testing save years of drainage headaches.

Budgeting beyond the kit: Include labor, electrical, insulation, and ventilation.

Building codes & permits: Stay compliant and avoid costly rework.

Listeners will learn why steel buildings outperform wood—handling higher wind loads, resisting termites and rot, and maintaining clear spans up to 200 feet for wide, open workspaces. Sukup’s IAS AC472 accreditation ensures every building meets the highest quality and safety standards.

Randy also digs into why roof and wall panel design matter more than most people realize: mechanically rolled standing seams with a 360° Pittsburgh double-lock prevent leaks, and movable clips let panels expand and contract with temperature swings—protecting your investment from the elements for decades.

Plan with purpose — A smart build starts with site prep, future needs, and full-cost budgeting.

Steel wins the long game — Stronger spans, higher durability, no rot, and recyclable value at teardown.

Details matter — Panel design, insulation, and airflow determine building lifespan and comfort.

Sukup quality = Iowa pride — Family-owned innovation, automation, and precision manufacturing deliver farm-tough reliability.

In this high-octane Farm4Profit episode, the team welcomes Kyle Kirkwood, one of the brightest young stars in the NTT INDYCAR Series, to explore how agriculture fuels racing’s future—literally. Kyle, who pilots the #27 car for Andretti Global, shares his journey from a five-year-old discovering jet cars at Moroso Motorsports Park to standing on the podium at Long Beach and Bommarito in 2025.

We dive into Kyle’s personal story—his love for deep-sea fishing, surfing, and staying fit—and then turn toward the intersection of farming, fuel, and fast cars. The conversation highlights his partnership with Sukup Manufacturing and what it means to represent a company rooted in American agriculture at the Iowa Speedway, where corn isn’t just grown—it powers the race itself.

Topics Covered:

The Making of a Champion: How Kyle’s early karting success and Road to Indy dominance prepared him for the big leagues.

Inside Andretti Global: A look at the legendary team’s legacy, innovation, and culture of excellence.

Ag Meets IndyCar: The story behind Sukup’s sponsorship and why agricultural brands are increasingly visible in motorsports.

Ethanol Power: Kyle explains how E85 ethanol-based fuel enhances car performance and efficiency, and why it’s both a renewable and high-performance solution.

Shared Values: The parallels between racing and farming—precision, data-driven decision-making, and the pursuit of efficiency.

Future of the Sport: How technology, sustainability, and partnerships like Sukup’s are driving the next chapter of racing innovation.

Listeners get a unique peek into the mindset of a professional racer who’s not just chasing checkered flags, but also celebrating the partnership between the track and the tractor. Whether you’re a farmer, gearhead, or ethanol advocate, this episode connects the roar of the engine to the roots of rural America.

In this timely market update, DPA’s Luke Stamp joins Farm4Profit to break down the state of the farm equipment marketplace as we move through Fall 2025. Luke opens with a direct comparison to this time last year — sales volume, auction activity, and market strength — then drills into the big-picture factors shaping demand: bankruptcies and liquidations, dealership consolidation, macroeconomic drivers (interest rates and finance availability), and geopolitical influences like trade with China and global instability.

Key topics covered:

• Year-over-Year Market Snapshot — Did 2025 see more or fewer sales than 2024? Luke shares DPA’s internal data, highlights where activity has increased or slowed, and explains the seasonal rhythms buyers and sellers should expect.
• Who’s Selling & Who’s Buying — From operators and custom harvesters to dealerships, auction consignors, and investors — Luke outlines the typical seller and buyer profiles this year and how those groups have shifted.
• Dealership Consolidation — Are dealers consolidating inventory and market share? We discuss trends in dealer-to-dealer buying, trade-in flows, and how consolidation changes local market dynamics.
• Macro & Policy Influences — How (and whether) Farm Bill chatter, China relations, and the war in Ukraine filter into equipment pricing and buyer confidence. Luke explains which global headlines actually move markets and which mostly create noise.
• New Equipment vs. Used Market — What’s happening with new equipment demand, lead times, and ordering? Then, how that reverberates into the used market — which models are sought-after and which are being traded in.
• Hot Items & Laggards — Specific categories Luke sees strong demand for (e.g., certain sprayer platforms, high-horsepower tractors, specific planter or tillage technology) and what’s not moving (older, high-hours, or hard-to-service models). We call out examples like quad-tracks, JD 1000-series, specialty harvest equipment, and where buyer interest is concentrated.
• Seller Best Practices — When sellers do well, it’s rarely luck. Luke shares tactics that set successful sales apart: timing, pre-sale preparation, clear maintenance records, realistic reserves, and effective marketing.
• Advice for Buyers — Luke flips the script with actionable tips: where to find best deals, when to act, and how to evaluate lots to avoid costly surprises.
• Winter 2026 Outlook & Predictions — Closing with a forward look, Luke gives his educated read on what the winter market may bring, including expected demand shifts, pricing pressure zones, and what listeners should track between now and spring.
