Summary

Welcome to Barn Talk! In this episode, We're covering everything from the smartest investment platform to the broader impact of a local Tyson plant shutting down in Perry, Iowa. We've got a lot on our plate, discussing how this affects the community, the not-so-secret use of labor, and what it means for the ethics in business and government involvement. We also get into the nitty-gritty of grain farming economics versus renting out land. And because we all need a little downtime, Tork shares his secret recipe for the perfect freezer old-fashioned —trust me, it’s a game-changer.
