Ep 18: Q&A, the Degen Ag Way!

Saturday Oct 11, 2025

Saturday Oct 11, 2025

  We're in the heat of harvest! While the Son of Saline Soil is eating corn the long way, Larson's Plate Trevor Beets Off, Andrew is choking chickens, and Captain Corporate cops a feel off of spuds, we answer questions sent in by you!
  We will return back to our normal format once it starts raining, or the harvest is over.  Never fear, we'll have something in 2 weeks guaranteed!

Ep 17: Theoreticals of Produce

Saturday Sep 27, 2025

Saturday Sep 27, 2025

  It's a rainy-day mid-harvest break.  Vague updates from the big-time farmers on how their crops are yielding, garlic is done curing and ready for sale, and the most important question: When will the potatoes be ready for sale?
  Also, we debate which produce should be classified as fruits, vegetables, and "other".

EP 16 Weather: Who Do You Trust

Saturday Sep 13, 2025

Saturday Sep 13, 2025

  We dive into the hot debate on weather prediction, inaccuracies in modern forecasting, which apps are the most reliable, and, the reliable old farmer's ways of predicting the weather.  Do their methods still prove effective today?
  We wrap it up with discussing rain gauges, and why we should all move to the 1/8" measurement system instead of the current tens base we use now.

Tires: A Grain Cart Odyssey

Saturday Aug 30, 2025

Saturday Aug 30, 2025

  We were fortunate enough to have Captain Corporate back from paternity leave this week. (Un)fortunately, he must be a big fan of Homer, this is a long one folks.
  We give early season harvest updates, auction/private purchases, and eventually even get around to talking about the topic of the day: Tires.

  A bit of a changeup, Captain Corporate is on paternity leave, so we're bringing in the first of a few guest Degenerates, starting with the proprietor of You Son Of A Mitch Rock Supply, Mitch.
  He fills us in on life west of Interstate, current markets, and his one of a kind breeding program.  We also get an impromptu update from Captain Corporate, continue to ignore the metric system of measurement, and toss around knowledge on the best way to remove a stuck bolt.

  We gathered to discuss the possibility of designing ONE tractor that can encompass the entire workload of a "typical" U.S. farm. A very healthy debate was had, and included a special guest appearance by a pair of Patreon members.
  Also, is ChatGPT run by Germans? Listen in to find out why this conspiracy has come to light.

Cover Crops and Passive Income

Saturday Jul 19, 2025

Saturday Jul 19, 2025

The farmer's dictionary states the definition of passive income as:
    "Unlike monetary income, passive income involves buying unnecessary equipment for a single use, or "future ideas", but ends up being parked in a heap with the rest of your junk.  Passive refers to the opportunity that has passed you buy.  Income refers to the ever-growing collection of unneeded "cool" things."   
  There's a bit of a lull in the growing season, so we're talking about recent auction purchases, Annual Tractor rides  honey bees, business ideas for down time, cab over semi's, cover crops, and crop rotation.

  We were supposed to talk about workwear, and we get to it eventually, but prepare for a roller coaster ride of topics, including a non-agricultural subject of karaoke.

  With planting season in the books, we decided you guys deserved an update on what's going on with the future of the podcast.  The Son of Saline Soil was on an agriculture mission, hence the update instead of a new episode.  We are almost through our store of episodes, more current and up to date content soon!!!!!

  Today, our main topic is about Melroe Manufacturing: How big of an impact did they have on the agriculture industry, and beyond? How far ahead of their time were they?  Why did they decide to sell the company?  
  Also, spring planting updates, rock pickers, and hemorrhoids?
