The Little Red Barn Podcast Ep. 143: Red Power!

This week Ryan and Charlie get a down in the weeds look at vintage power fanaticism! Rob and Kelley Meyers of the International Harvester Collectors Club Chapter 33 dropped by Red Barn Studios to talk tractors, tanks, trucks and implements...every one of them carrying the IH logo. It's a fantastic romp through the history of this brand and may give you a few trivia nuggets to tuck away. The reasons folks hang on to or collect various items are wide ranging...but they are all personal. Everyone has a story! Settle in with a nice beverage and let's walk back in time, just a bit!

The Little Red Barn Podcast Ep. 142: Roller Coasters and History

Did you see Big Boy steam through the corn belt this week? Ryan and Charlie talk about that, the wild ride the market took us on this week and the astounding amount of local agriculture history that is increasingly lost as time goes by. Plus, go back to school with a bit of a Trade Primer on different tariffs and trade law.

The Little Red Barn Podcast Ep. 141: We Could Use A Rain?

Weather has been nearly perfect this past week for drying out fields. Even those with the wettest and toughest ground were able to get after it last week. But, now the social media "weatherists" are crowing about Flash Drought?  Oh come on!  But, there are increasing voices in parts of the state saying "we could use a rain" for various reasons, including activating chemistry. Are fertilizer prices heading down? We take a walk down memory lane on tractors, and also dig in to why its becoming more difficult to navigate repairs and breakdowns.

The Little Red Barn Podcast Ep. 140: It's Always Something

Adventures with Charlie returns this week, as he wrestles with breakdowns on the corn planter. Its graduation season, along with and end of Track season as planting season rolls on.

The Little Red Barn Podcast Ep. 139: Farmer v. Farmer

Plenty to rehash this week as USDA served up some WASDE surprises, Trump meets Xi and area farmers made more progress than perhaps we thought they could. But the big story of the week is ASA vs NCGA...or bean guys vs corn guys on the issue of E15. But this is not a new story. Farmers are notorious for not supporting fellow farmers if issues don't pertain to them, and flat out coming against fellow farmers if its in their own best interests. We're sure to ruffle feathers this week, of farmers, trade groups, and who knows who else. But its guaranteed to start conversations.
