Three ranch and farm wives spill the unfiltered truth about marriage, motherhood, and the glorious mess of ag life. Where the Wi-Fi is weak but the opinions are strong — chaotic calving stories, marriage stress tests, epic ranch wife fails, and the real talk nobody else is having. If you’ve ever chased cows in flip-flops or wondered how you ended up married to a farmer… welcome home. New episodes weekly — come get unsupervised.
In this episode of Ranch Wives Unsupervised, we’re back for Part 2 of our supervised conversation with our resident farmer Jorim — and this one goes deep on folic acid, food labels, and why farmers keep getting blamed for things that happen long after the grain leaves the field.
We dig into how white flour is regulated in Canada, the difference between folate and folic acid, and why enrichment is a processing issue, not a farm issue. Then we get into the real economics of farming and ranching: grain contracts, elevator bidding, razor-thin margins, why beef feels so expensive at the checkout, and how direct-to-consumer meat sales actually work.
Along the way we talk cattle genetics, EPDs, first-cycle bulls, culling decisions, grass-fed vs grain-finished, and the everyday gamble of weather, markets, fertilizer, and equipment costs. Honest, practical, and a little chaotic in the best way.
Supervised… but still very much us.

Ranch Wives Supervised: Jorim Tells All on Farm Chemicals
In this episode of Ranch Wives Unsupervised… we actually got supervised.
For the first time ever, we brought on Jorim (our resident farmer) for a no-fluff conversation about farm chemicals, glyphosate, herbicides, insecticides, and what farmers are actually doing in the field. What starts as a cozy husband episode quickly turns into a real breakdown of how modern farming works — why weeds are managed differently depending on the crop, why pre-harvest burn down is not the same as desiccation, and what “Roundup Ready” actually means.
We get into the difference between pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, why crop stage and timing matter more than most people realize, and the real talk around residue, resistance, and crop rotation. Jorim also covers wheat grading, feed versus human consumption, why some fields get grazed instead of cut, and what makes a crop thrive instead of just survive.
If you’ve ever wondered whether farmers are just spraying everything willy-nilly, this one’s for you. Honest, specific, and way more eye-opening than the average internet argument about farming.
Supervised… but still very much us.

From Sock Rules to Selling Open Cows
In this episode of Ranch Wives Unsupervised, laundry, cull cows, and AI-driven ranch decisions somehow all end up in the same conversation.
It starts with a simple question about sorting clothes and turns into the full laundry rundown — air-drying, sock rules, mechanic grease, kitchen towels, and the kind of stain disasters that need serious fighting power. Then we shift into the ranching side of things: when to sell open cows, whether a young cow deserves another chance, and how much emotion should actually factor into a business decision.
We talk timing (calves, payments, feed, and marketing all colliding), how AI and spreadsheets are starting to help with cattle records and bale counts, and the ongoing tension between emotional attachment and hard business math. Because at the end of the day, ranching is both a lifestyle and an investment — and there’s rarely one right answer that fits every operation.
Unfiltered, a little practical, and very much unsupervised.
