Nathan Faleide and co-host Quentin Connealy record live from the FBN Farmer to Farmer Conference in Omaha, Nebraska, catching up on what's happening in agriculture heading into the 2026 growing season. The two dig into some timely topics including the USDA's request for information on improving crop reporting, the frustrations of FSA's outdated digital systems, and how precision ag data could be better utilized if farmers had the right incentives to share it. They also get into input cost pressures, nitrogen management strategies, and the ROI math that's pushing more growers to cut rates and rethink their fertility programs.
The episode gets a bonus boost when Millennial Farmer Zach Johnson stops by for an unplanned cameo, dropping a few hints about upcoming John Deere announcements at Commodity Classic. Nathan and Quentin also share some laughs about property taxes, the chaos of government farm programs, and the creative (and questionable) ways farmers engineer solutions on the cheap. It's a candid, wide-ranging conversation straight from the conference floor — equal parts industry insight and real-talk from guys actually living it.
