Summer on the farm brings a whirlwind of activity as we balance baling, spraying, fair preparation, and finding moments to connect as a family amid the busy season. The weight of sustaining our agricultural legacy weighs heavily as we navigate the challenges of modern farming and explore ways to diversify and strengthen our operation.

• Feeling the rush of summer farm activities while trying to make time for family connection
• Recent health scare triggering memories of past farm accident and trauma
• Exploring adding wheat to our crop rotation with plans to follow with soybeans
• Learning to manage soybean acres with the same intensity as corn to maximize returns
• Discussing the importance of agricultural community support rather than competition
• Supporting local farmers markets and small producers as part of building agricultural resilience
• Reimagining the future of family farming by fostering positive relationships and mindsets

Speaker 1

the farmer's greatest asset podcast. We believe the farm's greatest asset is the farmer, their knowledge, knowledge, experience, mind and health. Welcome back to the podcast. I'm Jesse.

Speaker 2

And I'm Dr Leah.

Speaker 1

Well, welcome to July.

Speaker 2

Ready or not, here it is.

Speaker 1

Yeah, it's flying by. So what's going on on the farm this week, you ask?

Speaker 2

Well, before we get into that, what I would like to say is I don't know about everyone else that's listening, but it seems like spring is here. You get into the role of spring and you have all of that busy work, but then, before you know it, it's Christmas, because we are in the middle of that crazy season and getting ready for the fair and all of and hay and foliar and all of the crazy stuff. But it is amazing and crazy that it is july already. Time flies when you're having fun, babe that's what they say are we having fun?

Speaker 1

some days. So, yeah, getting ready for the fair, and then you come home and you get ready for the state fair. Hopefully in between you're working to go to one of the showdowns or something, yeah.

Speaker 2

And then school starts.

Speaker 1

Crazy.

Speaker 2

It is crazy, it just flies by, definitely flies by. So I just I'm sure that other people are feeling that way too Like, oh my goodness, summer just started, but it feels like it's like closing it down, like it just. But you get to July and it is school starting.

Speaker 1

Downhill slide now.

Speaker 2

But really summer just began. The summer solstice was just a week and a half ago. Yeah, it wasn't even two weeks ago. So summer actually just began. So, let's, let's. Maybe we should change that mindset and tell ourselves summer's just beginning.

Speaker 1

We have plenty of time to enjoy the rest of it slow down a little bit and enjoy it yeah, we have not gotten in the pool one time yet no, I told myself a couple weeks ago I was going to do that and and I never did Girls have.

Speaker 2

Yeah, the girls have been getting in the pool here and there, but we need to relax. Usually, if there's a nice evening, I'm like weeding the garden. Never ending so many weeds.

Speaker 1

Never ending.

Speaker 2

So many weeds, yeah. So many weeds, yeah. Anybody else feel that way?

Speaker 1

Yeah, everybody does. We saw Danny. She's my cousin's wife, she's a pharmacist and she even said that yesterday. She's like oh my. God, time is flying.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 1

So it's not just us or just farms.

Speaker 2

No, no, I think that it is. You just want want to enjoy it so much, you want to hold on to it a little bit longer, right?

Speaker 1

for us specifically, it seems like we have been bailing every week because because we have.

Speaker 2

We have done right so bailing, spraying and hauling grain those are.

Speaker 1

That's where we're at have so much to do and yeah, you just put your head down and work I think that that's the reason that we don't feel like we're enjoying.

Speaker 2

I don't want to say enjoying, that we are missing the enjoyment, but that's what we enjoy.

Speaker 1

We enjoy our time, but we need to remember to make family time, where a lot of times you're just out whatever you're doing in the greenhouse or the garden, and Henry's out doing his thing in the cattle show barn.

Speaker 2

We're lacking connection.

Speaker 1

Right. So we did take that time to take the whole family to get away for a couple days, and that was good.

Speaker 2

And we have a couple more days coming up at the end of the month.

Speaker 1

But still, while we're sitting at home, we need to make sure we all come in for supper or something you know and make that little connection and those little times we need to be together, even while we're at home, we need to enjoy it and enjoy our family and appreciate what we got yeah we get so busy, we just fly through it and, like I was saying, there's a lot of nights where you're out here in the greenhouse and I go in and take a shower and I plop in the chair or whatever and fall asleep or whatever you know.

Speaker 1

So we need to make sure we make those nights more connecting and that goes for everybody. Yeah, you know, find those little times to enjoy your family. If it's, everybody comes to the supper table, which I think used to be a thing, and that's kind of gotten away just. And it's not just farms, it's everybody, with all of the travel ball and all of the activities and and teenagers.

Speaker 1

I you know it's harder to rein them in sure, but when you get that chance you need to take that opportunity to enjoy it and realize and appreciate what you got.

Speaker 2

Very much Well, and we did, you know, kind of have a little health scare yesterday and it ended up being just not a big deal, but it was a very much a reminder my eyeball still doesn't think it's not a very big deal.

Speaker 1

So yeah, yesterday morning I thought it would be a beautiful morning to go down to the pasture it was calm out, cool and took the four-wheeler down. I thought I'll go move the cows from one pasture to the next because the grass is. We've had good grass growing weather so I moved the cows over and just putting around on the four-wheeler, something got me in the eyeball and it burned and it scratched and it hurt. So I got home and you thought I scratched or cut my cornea.

Speaker 2

Yeah, my OBGYN brain took over. Worst case scenario even had me.

Eye Injury Scare and Past Trauma

Speaker 1

I mean, I was irritated. I had to drive home with my hand holding my eye because I just wanted to rub it. Um, and having my eye open in the sunshine hurt it. So I had to drive home it's 15, 20 miles or whatever holding my eyeball and I was like, okay, I'll just rinse it out, it'll be fine. And it started feeling better when I got home. Then you looked and you had me freaked out enough that I have a cousin who's an ophthalmologist, so I'm trying to scramble to try to get a hold of him. And what do I do? And so we ended up going to the optometrist here locally, who we know, you know personally.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 1

He got us in and just ended up being whatever got into my eye. I had a. Severe allergic reaction to Pretty severe reaction.

Speaker 2

But from a doctor the one, one key takeaway I had from medical school about the eyeball because I'm not an ophthalmologist you don't mess around with the eyeball. If there's something in there. You go see what it is and make sure it's not something bad, and the interesting thing about it was it really then brought back your accident and the trauma and all of those feelings were very real for the rest of the family. I don't know how it was for you, but Henry and Lucy definitely felt it and felt the concern.

Speaker 1

It'll be two years here in a couple weeks, in a week, since I got hurt. But yeah, it was very apparent that you called Lucy, she was downstairs, she'd come up and it was very apparent that you called Lucy, she was downstairs, she'd come up and it was very apparent it was affecting her and she gave me a hug and then just other feelings were coming out with Henry and it was very apparent. It was a trigger and even for me that so much didn't. I mean, once I got home and I saw the kids kind of reacting and triggered and even you, it kind of brought back some feelings for me.

Speaker 1

But when I was moving the cows our cows are pretty calm, easygoing and I've never been afraid of our cows and there's no bull out there right now I called the cows. I just swung the gate open and had a bucket of corn and called the cows and all of a sudden I saw up in the timber like the cows were hauling they because they haven't been called for corn for uh, almost two months now, probably month and a half, because they've been in the pasture. Well, they've been on one pasture where we can't get them up, to green them a little bit every day. So they heard that call and they come barreling down out of the timber and I was standing in the gateway and the four-wheeler was kind of in the gateway and normally I would have just kind of pushed the four-wheeler out of the way and just stood there, but I I reacted like, oh my god, I gotta, I gotta move, what if they get get me?

Speaker 1

So I've realized, um, that I am much more cautious and more aware of where I'm at, what I'm doing, around the cattle even I've been in the hoop barn sorting fat cattle and stuff. More so now. And you know, if cattle, a lot of times they'll just spin around on you and a lot of times I would just either, you know, swing a gate at them and the great gate would stop them. I don't use that gate anymore, cause that's what got me Um interesting.

Speaker 2

You've never shared that with me.

Speaker 1

Yeah. So I've been much more aware and I don't want to say scared in situations but like when those cows come, we're coming, it's like, oh my God, I gotta, I gotta move. But then I was standing there by the gateway post and the cows just kind of walked right by me and I was like, oh yeah, these cows are fine, but still, it I guess, triggered me and made me think, okay, shit, I got to move.

Speaker 2

Yeah, so still growing through some of that trauma that we all experienced together. And what can we learn from that?

Speaker 1

I still have feelings every time I hear a helicopter. That's an interesting feeling.

Speaker 2

Well, and the fair's coming up. Last year it was traumatic for everybody.

Speaker 1

So yeah, still some feelings coming out and I'm learning.

Speaker 2

Growing.

Speaker 1

Growing right, not as fast as I once used to be, anyway.

Speaker 2

So what's going down on the farm?

Speaker 1

Well, today we're hoping to be bailing some straw, the neighbor sort of neighbor, he's a relative.

Speaker 2

Country neighbor yeah.

Speaker 1

We say neighbors.

Speaker 2

he's three miles down the road I was talking to a friend of mine that has never been on a farm and I was talking to her about, quote unquote, what I call country neighbors. You know like, oh, they live down the road. It might be like 10 miles, but there are country neighbors she's like it's not 10 steps to the next door right she's like you, gotta coin that so they're hoping to cut their wheat.

Speaker 1

They dove in with the combine yesterday and it was 15.1%. They're going to hammer down today, combining wheat. We're going to bale the straw. The plan there is. We've always baled corn stalks for bedding in the hoop barn. Generally I wouldn't like to remove the corn stalks so much because there is a lot of nutrient value there. But wherever we bail the corn stalks we haul manure.

Speaker 1

So it's to me it's kind of a moot point, but it is a whole nother somewhat equal exchange right, but it's a whole nother step and process that's got to happen in the fall between the raking and the bailing and the picking it up and moving, and it's a process that, if we can eliminate that in the fall and just focus on fall work, we're going to try straw bedding in there. See how it goes in the cattle bar. So if that kind of works out, then we're.

Speaker 1

So we've been kicking around the idea of adding wheat to our rotation actually not just kicking it around like we have kind of delved into it the last few years, talked about it at length, I feel right because you're always wanting a couple bales of straw for your gardens or something, and so you've wanted me to plant wheat to have straw, and it's been such a long time since we have had oats or wheat to be able to bale straw. But when I was a kid, everybody who raised some oats or wheat it was more or less to get the straw.

Speaker 2

Well, we had horses growing up. My parents raised quarter horses so we grew oats to feed to the horses.

Speaker 1

But everybody, shouldn't say everybody, a lot of people, at least around here. A lot of people had hogs and the sows were outside in barns and the fat hogs were outside in barns. So you use straw for bedding in the barns and we would put up man, we had two big barns. We would fill them with straw every year. We'd do easily 5 000 bales of straw or more just us, then uncle and cousin, they do the same thing, and the other uncle and cousin they do the same thing. We put up a lot of straw.

Speaker 1

But now the outside hogs have more or less gone away, so nobody raises wheat or oats much around here anymore. So it's kind of that. We do have a river terminal that it could go to the wheat. So the end user where the wheat goes to is few and far between. I guess put it that way. But we've been wanting to add it to the mix to just be diversified and have another crop so we can. We're far enough south in iowa where we can put some wheat out and still, yes, it's a little late, it's july, but we could put some beans out there and get some bushels out of beans as well I think there has to just be maybe a change in the mindset about it, because for our lives it's all been about corn and soybeans and that's what's pushed.

Speaker 1

It's really been about corn.

Speaker 2

Right.

Speaker 1

And soybeans have just kind of been the companion crop. Well, we'll just put them out there because they do return a little nitrogen. They make their own nitrogen. So they were. The seed was cheap. You just you'd say, throw out 200 000 seeds per acre and just hope that 150 000 grow, don't worry about much fertilizer, and you just kind of don't worry about them. But when you are talking, beans are $9.80 per bushel. You've got to make the bushels to make up the revenue, right? So we're changing our….

Speaker 2

Because rent doesn't change when you're putting beans on it. Yeah, right.

Speaker 1

So we're changing our perspective a little bit, in that you've got to manage the soybean acre as much as you do the corn acre. So when the genetics in the soybean seed has come along so much and that price per unit of soybeans is pretty high it used to be you could throw a bushel of beans out there and it'd cost you little to nothing. Now you spend quite a bit on a bushel of beans to put out there and your cost per acre on seed is still less than corn, but it's still pretty close to the price of corn per acre. So you better manage it and give it fertility that it needs. So we're thinking the same thing with wheat manage wheat pretty hard, get a good wheat yield, get it off early and get some beans planted and manage the beans, give it some fertility and and they'll pop up faster when the soil is warmer.

Speaker 2

It won't take all of that time. That's what I'm hoping.

Speaker 1

Right.

Speaker 2

It can't take, you know, two to four weeks, Right when it's July. It's going to really run out of time to grow.

Speaker 1

So we're going to probably try some wheat and then put some beans in for this next year just to see how it goes.

Speaker 2

How many acres do you think we're going to try babe?

Speaker 1

Really don't know. Got to decide where to put it.

Shifting Farm Management Strategies

Speaker 2

So this is a conversation that we have been having, about the beans actually, initially, and then it continued to the wheat and Jesse his capacity to teach me more about farming. He talked with me about how you increase the population. Count on the poorer ground.

Speaker 1

In soybeans.

Speaker 2

In soybeans and you don't do that in corn. But it doesn't make sense to me at all. You don't do that in corn, but it doesn't make sense to me at all. Because why would you? From a logical standpoint, why would you put more plants on an area that isn't going to produce as well? My thought would be you would want to put less plants there, so each plant improves itself as much as it possibly can. Like to me. You want to to put less plants there, so each plant improves itself as much as it possibly can. Like to me. You want to have so few plants there to just cover the ground, like to get the canopy to decrease the population.

Speaker 1

The theory of corn is essentially that your lower productive acres or areas, you decrease population because the ground can't support that much grain production.

Speaker 2

So that was the question that I had for him as well. Like then, why? Why is it different in beans?

Speaker 1

And I don't have a great explanation other than that it's less productive.

Speaker 2

If any of you out there have a, have an explanation for it.

Speaker 1

I would love to hear that well, the idea is that that area is not as productive, so you put more bean plants out there to try to make up the difference. And then then it is about canopy and weed control. It's worth a try to treat it kind of like corn on some acres and see how it goes, if we can manage the beans like we do corn. And that's kind of where I've been circling back to is that we have never in the past managed soybean acres like we manage corn acres Because corn is king, never in the past managed soybean acres like we manage corn acres because corn is King. And we're trying to make, you know, 300 bushel corn, 400 bushel corn. Why aren't we trying to push our beans as well? They're not the redheaded stepchild anymore. They cost too much to put out there. You better start managing those bean acres and To push the bushels on those as well, because they're not cheap to put in and at $9.80, you're not going to make any money raising soybeans and not trying to push the limits.

Speaker 2

So when we were talking about putting wheat in the rotation, Jesse said, well, maybe we'll try it on some of our farms that are of not as high fertility.

Speaker 1

Not necessarily fertility, just low productivity. So we've got some timber-type soil ground where it's not as good a dirt right here where we live.

Speaker 2

What I said was I think that we need to do the complete opposite. I think that we need to try it on our most productive ground, because we want to try to push it as much as we can and see what we can do on our productive, productive ground, because we want to try to push it as much as we can and see what we can do on our productive ground yeah that's where I would like to try. Well, funny enough.

Speaker 1

So pat, who we're going to do his straw. He lives down the road and it's pretty good dirt where he's where he's got it. And uh, jason was out the other day. He's salesman and actually a relation between all three of us. We're all related in southeast Iowa.

Speaker 2

Jesse and I are not related.

Speaker 1

He made the comment like yeah, I don't know why Pat put wheat right there in that good ground Because it's pretty good ground. So I don't know why Pat put wheat right there in that good ground Because it's pretty good ground. So I mean the experiment's already started right there, so we'll see how Pat's beans do. He's going to put beans out there after we get the straw off. We'll see how his beans do. And his comment was kind of the same in that his are seed wheat so he'll get a premium as long as his quality is good. But if he can raise 90 bushel or better wheat, especially with a little premium, he could make some money there and then raise some soybeans, make some money there and your entire revenue per acre between the two crops in one year could be just as good as raising corn or whatever.

Speaker 1

He's kind of got the experiment started for us. I don't know if he'll push it hard on the fertilizer like I would try to push it, because even on soybeans now we're uh foliar feeding multiple times. We're putting extra sugar out there. We're putting extra. I call it special k, it's's extra K. You know we're trying to push those soybeans. And what if we could have 90 to 100 bushel beans across 100% of our acres, then we're starting to get better ROI.

Speaker 2

One of the things that we haven't really talked about in the past is, as we in agriculture continue to push yield and continue to produce more, we are kind of pushing ourselves into a situation that there's so much demand.

Speaker 1

So much supply.

Speaker 2

Excuse me, so much supply that pricing goes down. Then we just have to push ourselves more. So really we are working ourselves out of money technically.

Speaker 1

We are getting so good at production.

Speaker 2

Then it becomes more about diversification, and what other things can we do to sustain the farm and the legacy that has been passed down to us by the generations who worked so hard and tirelessly? And how do you continue to put that forward? It's a big weight on the shoulders. I know we feel it every day, every day Sustaining. That sometimes gets very exhausting.

Speaker 1

It is a weight to bear.

Speaker 2

And I think, too, that that is a mental health dilemma in agriculture and it's the thing that nobody really wants to talk about because, well, all the generations ahead of us did it.

Supporting the Agricultural Community

Speaker 2

We just need to put our heads down and work and, like we've talked about in the past, that model does not work in modern agriculture. You can't just work hard and support your family and sustain your farming legacy. It needs to be something different. How do we move forward as an agricultural community to help each other, move all of our family farms forward? Because, when it comes down to it, every family farm has that pride in their land, and the land means more than just owning a farm. It's the blood, sweat and tears of all the generations that came before us and the weight of what we are trying to sustain to be able to continue that legacy. So it isn't just about the farm, it's about legacy, it's about what all of those people did and what they gave us, and it's really been the backbone of America and it's starting to disappear. So how can we as an agricultural community really help each other out? Instead of seeing each other as competitors, how do we see each other as a community?

Speaker 1

And be happy for your neighbor that they're succeeding a community.

Speaker 2

And be happy for your neighbor that they're succeeding Well, because we need all of the farmers to succeed Right. When we lose our agricultural freedom, our society loses because we lose food freedom. How are we supporting each other in the agricultural community and how are we reaching out when we do need help?

Speaker 1

We need to. We need to support each other, and if you could be happy for your neighbor to succeed and they're happy for you to succeed, that's when everybody thrives.

Speaker 2

It's definitely a shift in mindset, though.

Speaker 1

Right and we need to find that again.

Speaker 2

In our ag community.

Speaker 1

The whole ag community.

Speaker 2

I mean really in our society in general. But we can start with our agricultural community.

Speaker 1

We are focused on our agriculture community.

Speaker 2

Yeah, but the one thing is mindset, realizing that the farm's greatest asset is the farmer, the farming family. I guess we maybe should recoin that to the farm's greatest asset is the farming family. How do we keep that health? Because when it is strong and has good mindset and is working together, then it is able to spread that. You know, when you have a lot of positivity in a room, it spreads.

Speaker 1

Well, that's probably some of what attributes to some of the kids not wanting to come back to the farm. I mean, I get it, it's a hard lifestyle. I shouldn't say a hard lifestyle. It is a lifestyle and it's hard work and a lot of kids choose not to come back to the farm, but is it because of the stress that they see the parents go through or whatever. But if we can create a positive mindset and attitude and thriving agriculture community, I think more kids are going to stick around because this area we have a fair amount of young farmers. But you hear about across the country it's the average age of the American farmer is 65 plus and kids are not coming back to the farm 65 plus and kids are not coming back to the farm.

Speaker 2

Well, I think too that what I've heard in us going to conferences and such, and why a lot of people our age but a lot in the 20 30 year old range, um, I think it has more to do with relationships with their fathers. Sure, that they are choosing. I think it used to be like for my age group and older, it wasn't even a question of what they're going to do. They were going to come back to the farm and people, a lot of people, didn't feel like they had a choice, like that was just what was expected of them and you do what you're. Just what was expected of them and you do what is expected of you.

Speaker 2

Then, kind of there was a shift in our generation, maybe like in the 50 to 60 year olds range, that, oh, you need a town job and then you can farm. So there's a lot of in that age group. There's a lot of farmers that are just kind of doing it on the side so they can sustain the family farm to pass it to the next generation. But their mindset too has been passed down to the next generation. So they have a lot of town jobs, to be able to sustain the farm and pass down that legacy. It's becoming fewer and fewer people that want to take the risk and the gamble, because it is such a huge risk and gamble and what used to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars is now in the millions of dollars, and those profits are hard to make every year, especially with commodity prices how they are. But how do we shift the mindset that that is a possibility and how do we change that generational?

Speaker 2

You are expected to do it like I did it, because that's where I think agriculture needs to go. I think agriculture needs to go. It needs to go where, in the challenges, we need to see how we're going to support each other in the community to continue family farms, because I think that the trend is that people are going to larger and larger farms and that is what in talking with other bankers. That is what is seeming to be more sustainable than 1,000, 2,000 acre farms and less. So how do we change that? That's the big question. How do we support each other to continue to build these small family farms, because it's the backbone of our agricultural community?

Speaker 1

Right, so is it like farm partnerships, where farmers share equipment?

Speaker 2

who knows?

Speaker 1

it is. The smaller farmer is getting hard to compete with the larger farmers because of equipment costs, because of input cost, all of the cost.

Speaker 2

It's so expensive to do these are fun and exciting things. It it's a it's a new horizon and I think, supporting each other and moving forward in it and is the way that we all need to go getting pretty deep, went a whole direction.

Speaker 1

We didn't know we were even going to go today right, I yeah, I didn't see this coming.

Speaker 2

Sorry if it got a little out there.

Speaker 1

No, I mean, it's the things we need to talk about. Agriculture needs to talk about.

Speaker 2

Well, the other thing that just kind of popped in my head is last Sunday we went to a local farmer's market. I mean, we like to go to farmer's markets, but our little town of West Point, iowa, started a farmer's market. Iowa started a farmer's market and it was so awesome to see some young families out there supporting local farmers.

Speaker 1

They're doing a lot of cool little things at a kid's thing going on.

Local Farmers Markets and Community Connection

Speaker 2

Yeah, it was awesome. I thought this is truly amazing. I didn't really ever see this happening in West Point and it made me so excited. So, anyway, you know we are farmers but sometimes we forget to support other farmers. Like, for a long time, I would go and buy my chicken at the store but I found a farmer that raises chickens. He got a grant and butchers chickens and it is.

Speaker 2

It is more inconvenient in the fact that it's a whole bird, right? So you aren't just getting the breast when you want it. How are we, as farmers, supporting other farmers? And I think in the Midwest especially, we think farmers are row crop farmers or farmers are cattle farmers. We don't think about the small farmers that are growing vegetables and we don't think about the small farmers that are raising eggs, and we don't. We need to support them as much as we need to be supported by them, Right? So go to your local farmers markets and it may be a little more expensive, but support those farmers because they are trying to make it on their farm as much as you are on yours.

Speaker 1

Right. Support your community. Those farmers are part of your community and when your community thrives, everybody thrives. It was really neat to see it was the community coming together and the little grocery store was there cooking hot dogs or something and the fire department was there. It was pretty neat. So I saw their schedule. They have little events for every sunday farmer's market. It was a beautiful morning out there last sunday.

Speaker 2

It was so yay west point farmer's market yeah, good you guys are doing an amazing job and it is like I'm a I'm a proud surrounding community member. I mean, we don't live in town, but we are in the surrounding area and it was truly amazing to go there. It was fun so if you live in southeast iowa, sundays are their farmers market day. Stop over after church, or I think it's early afternoon. They're grilling that morning and stop and get something to eat and support, you know.

Speaker 2

Just buy some tomatoes or flowers or oh, yeah, whatever yes yeah, wendland flower farm just down the road from us. Like it was awesome to just go get a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers and I mean they're still living and thriving on our counter and it's amazing to support that farm and they're getting started and Jim's was there and all kinds of awesome people Check them out on Sunday.
