Hosts Noah Young and Tyler Froberg take a look at the Agriculture industry from the ground up, breaking down all of the information you've always wanted to know about farming into bite-sized pieces that are super easy to understand and digest. Each week we'll talk with a guest agriculturalist who will describe, in great detail, an interesting aspect of farming. For example "Creating A New Apple Variety", "How to Milk a Cow", "What is FFA?" etc; and break it down in a way that even a dummy can understand.
Emma from everywhere calls no place home because wherever there is dry wheat to be harvested IS home. This week we learn about custom harvest crews and how a convoy of combines, tractors, grain carts, semi trucks and trailers travels all across the country in search of dry wheat. We also get to hear Emma's story as a first generation farmer and how she got involved in agriculture with her Farm Tours and social media. If you've ever wondered what it's like chasing golden waves of grain from Texas to Montana, this episode is for you!

We hear all the time how impossible it is to start a farm from scratch, so today we decided to squash this myth once and for all. In this weeks episode we chat with Gavin Spoor, a first generation farmer from Missouri who started out with 6 acres of popcorn in college and worked his tail off to become a full fledged farmer. We had a chance to hear his story, learn what it takes to grow the perfect popcorn kernel and how aspiring farmers can get started. Turns out the answer is pretty simple. Dreams only work if you do. So pop a big bag of Spoor Farms popcorn, sit back and enjoy this inspirational episode.
