This is a major episode of Talk Dirt To Me, covering some of the biggest stories currently impacting American agriculture, rural landowners, and national farm policy.

We begin with the story of Gregory Family Farm in Sumner County, Tennessee, and their ongoing battle with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) over eminent domain. This situation raises serious questions about private property rights, government authority, and what happens when multi-generation farmland stands in the path of federal infrastructure projects. We explain what is happening, why it matters beyond Tennessee, and what this case could mean for farmers and landowners across the country.

Next, we break down President Trump's executive action protecting Glyphosate and Phosphorus and discuss why the decision is tied not only to agriculture but also to food security and national security. We examine how crop protection tools affect American production capacity, global competitiveness, and the stability of the U.S. food supply.

The conversation then turns to an in-depth look at Farm Bill 2.0. This episode serves as our first comprehensive breakdown of the new legislation and what it includes for farmers and rural communities. Topics covered include strengthened farm safety nets, conservation funding through EQIP and CRP programs, efforts to improve export competitiveness, pesticide liability protections, increased farm loan limits, and provisions aimed at limiting the nationwide impact of California's Proposition 12. We also discuss potential concerns and areas that may change as amendments continue to shape the bill. We will continue updating listeners as new developments occur.

Along the way, the episode includes classic Talk Dirt To Me conversation, including Memphis rap nostalgia, Logan's story about an interview with a legacy media outlet that will likely never air, and a recap of our experience at the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville.

This one goes everywhere. And we mean everywhere.

In this episode of Talk Dirt To Me, we break down the most talked-about Super Bowl halftime shows and whether they've completely lost the plot or actually delivered. From iconic performances to questionable moments, nothing is off limits.

Then things take a dark turn. A listener sends in an absolutely insane Facebook Marketplace story that nearly ended in murder. It is one of the wildest buyer-seller encounters we have ever heard, and it will make you think twice before meeting someone in a random parking lot.

We also dive into the story of a rock climber turned con man who was living in a house while secretly hiding a camper so it would not get repossessed. The double life, the deception, and how long he kept it going is almost unbelievable.

From there we get into why you might need a couple dangerous friends in your circle, whether modern society has gone soft, and whether so-called equine "farms" really qualify as farms or if we are redefining agriculture into something it was never meant to be.

It is culture, crime, farming, common sense, and chaos all rolled into one episode.

In this episode of Talk Dirt To Me, we discuss one of the things, for better or worse, that separates us from a lot of the voices in ag influence. We are willing to say things out loud that may not always be popular or sponsor-friendly.

We dive into frustrations many farmers have with John Deere, including right to repair and the growing disconnect between corporate ag and life on the farm. We also talk about Bobby Lee's highly applauded comment on one of Deere's Instagram posts, a moment that probably did not help our chances of landing a sponsorship but struck a nerve with farmers across the country.

From there, we shift to celebrity virtue signaling and why it rings hollow for working Americans. Billie Eilish and other celebrities come up as examples as we discuss how disconnected elite celebrity culture has become from real life, rural America, and economic pressure.

We then get into the numbers farmers are actually facing. With the USDA projecting farm income to drop again in 2026, we break down what that means on the ground, why farmers are becoming more reliant on government payments just to survive, and why understanding true equipment cost per acre is no longer optional.

We also challenge the long-held idea that running equipment too long is always a bad decision, and why in today's high-interest, high-depreciation environment, holding onto iron longer may actually be the smarter move.

We wrap the episode with our Made in USA highlight featuring Dobbins Lures, a North Carolina-based company producing American-made animal lures for trappers who still value craftsmanship, effectiveness, and products built by people who understand the outdoors.
