The Husbands Tell All: Lies, Liars, and Late Nights (Part 1)

Grab your earplugs, because the boys have entered the chat. This week, we’re joined by our husbands, Tyler and Cody, for our very first "Men Tell All" special. What started as a nice introduction quickly turned into Tyler calling us liars and the guys trying to defend their "farming" schedules. We dive into how long they’ve actually been in the fields, the "illegal" bonding activities they refuse to quit, and the age-old question: Why can’t a farmer ever get home when they say they will? It’s Bradie and Addi vs. The Husbands, and we’re taking no bull.

Jesus.

SPEAKER_01 0:00

No kidding.

SPEAKER_00 0:02

$650 for dry land corn.

SPEAKER_01 0:04

Yeah. What's irrigated? A thousand.

SPEAKER_00 0:06

No. Why? You need to get out of farming. We can save so much money. So, Brady, I have a question for you. What's it like when the corn is high but the chaos is higher? It's a lot of things, but it's never boring.

SPEAKER_03 0:21

This is the Farm Why Files, life between the rows.

SPEAKER_05 0:27

Welcome back, listeners, to the podcast. We're uh on to a new episode today talking about mental health, and I'm glad everybody can listen.

SPEAKER_00 0:36

Are we talking about mental health?

SPEAKER_05 0:39

It's your guys' podcast. I'm just here.

SPEAKER_03 0:41

It's your episode. No, we're not talking about that. I don't know what we'll end up talking about, but as you guys can see, we have here, if you're listening and not watching, um, we have the husbands here. So we're gonna get into it. We're not sure how the episode or episodes are going to go, but we'll see. I was telling Addie long run. Yeah, we're either going to um leave here tonight with a newfound love and respect for our husbands, or it's gonna be a long, quiet ride home.

SPEAKER_00 1:11

Cody and I drive separate.

SPEAKER_03 1:13

So good for you.

SPEAKER_04 1:15

Move over the hill when I get home and I'll finish something.

SPEAKER_03 1:20

Um, okay, so this is my husband, Tyler. I'll let him take over the mic and tell you a little bit about himself.

SPEAKER_05 1:29

So, as Brady said, I'm her husband, Tyler. Introduce myself. We got my years of farming. I've been farming for about six, seven years alongside my dad. Cody helps us as well. Um, what else are we supposed to say here? Oh, we grow corn and soybeans on our operation. Have irrigation and some dry land. And how I met Brady was out at Curtis at college.

SPEAKER_03 1:54

Yep, picked me up for a party.

SPEAKER_05 1:56

Yep. Never looked back since.

SPEAKER_03 2:00

Well, maybe he wished he could look back, but he stuck with me.

SPEAKER_00 2:03

Too late now, Tyler. Yeah. And on to you guys. This is my husband, Cody. Oh my goodness. This one's gonna be a long one for us.

SPEAKER_04 2:14

So I guess I've worked for Tyler and Matt for, I don't know, since 18. I got out of college, is when I started, really.

SPEAKER_03 2:22

Yeah, we were talking about this the other day, and he's coming up on his 10 year.

SPEAKER_00 2:25

Yeah, I well, because you started in 2018, uh full-time wise. So it hasn't, it's not too close to 10 years, but helping college. Yeah, helping in college and that stuff. So definitely closer to that 10-year mark.

SPEAKER_04 2:38

I don't really know how many years you count on I've been farming. I guess I've been doing it my whole life. Um I guess real crops have been in it, what, four years now? Let's be five.

SPEAKER_00 2:48

I think so.

SPEAKER_04 2:49

I don't know. In the long last three years. First couple are kind of rough, but especially 23.

SPEAKER_02 2:57

How long you been doing cows?

SPEAKER_04 2:58

We got cattle and stuff at home. We're gonna pears and been doing that since basically college too. They bought when I was last year at college, I bought some pears from dad to get started. And then for what we grow, we grow alfalfa at home and got all falfa and beans and corn. Obviously, I farmed a little bit of Matt and Tyler's, so it's been kind of a learning curve at the row crop side, so never can out guess anything with that.

SPEAKER_05 3:28

But yeah, we're kind of on polar opposite sides. Cody's in the calves, and I'm not at all, so it's way easier on my life.

SPEAKER_03 3:37

Yeah, yeah. Well, we just talked about that on a latest episode. I was kind of talking about getting back into the busy season of spring chaos, and I'm like, well, wait, Addy, you guys never really get out of the busy season.

SPEAKER_00 3:50

No, and like honestly, what we had two calves this evening.

SPEAKER_04 3:55

Yeah, we're back to back within two minutes of each other. Yeah, five foot from each other in the pan.

SPEAKER_00 4:00

So down to what three left? Yeah. So calving feeling. Oh, so like we were talking, like there's that feeling of being done with harvest. Same as calving. Same exact feeling of like calving.

SPEAKER_05 4:12

So the flag gets drug out all the time.

SPEAKER_04 4:14

Yeah, yeah, a little bit more intense. Yeah. Kind of get one shot with it, get the calf going.

SPEAKER_03 4:21

Um, I guess we're having this episode because what I mean, we're on this is actually episode 22, so we've kind of been into it for a little while now. Um, but this whole time, well, before we even started, both of our husbands, oh yeah, you guys are gonna start a podcast just so you can talk crap on us the whole time. Which we really haven't. I mean, we've had little rants here and there, but mostly it's been all good things.

SPEAKER_00 4:45

I yeah, for sure.

SPEAKER_03 4:46

I don't think that our husbands realize that we actually think pretty highly of them. But what do you guys think? Is there any episodes that you have a truth to tell or you think is totally BS on our end, or any thoughts?

SPEAKER_00 5:00

Cough, cough, Tyler.

SPEAKER_05 5:02

I don't know about that. I don't have anything specific, but I will say if you're listening, take what their words are, take them very lightly, because not all that is rude. Okay, tell the truth.

SPEAKER_00 5:18

I will we'll fight behind the scenes.

SPEAKER_03 5:20

Yeah. Tyler said this on a FaceTime when I was FaceTiming Adie one time, and Addie literally was like, I will come with receipts. I have text messages, I have proof of everything that I say on the podcast, so let's have at it. Um, and now I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 5:36

And now Tyler and I are gonna get like the secondary divorce of because if you get to interact, Tyler and I's relationship, it is like a second married couple in a sense of like we just go at each other's throats and we feed off of each other.

SPEAKER_03 5:49

Oh yeah, we've talked about this before.

SPEAKER_00 5:50

Yeah, and I honestly love it. And I can't speak for you, but here's your chance.

SPEAKER_03 5:55

It's all right. Then poor Cody, I think he just thinks I'm mean to him half the time.

SPEAKER_00 6:02

I think Cody's just in his own little world half the time, too, but it's okay.

SPEAKER_03 6:06

Yeah, we are setting up and there's a little fire. Well, I don't know if I should say little. There's a fire south of Plymouth and Cody's just in fire land for Well, when you're that close to it, I'm on this in.

SPEAKER_00 6:17

And I'm like, nope, we're doing the podcast. They're fine. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 6:22

Yeah, I guess is there anything this is kind of your guys' episode before we get into anything else. So is there any you have any thoughts? You have anything you want to like just talk about on a tangent or you get anything, Cody?

SPEAKER_05 6:34

Not really. I got some questions. I listened to a few episodes.

SPEAKER_00 6:36

You have some questions?

SPEAKER_05 6:38

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 6:38

Why? Oh my gosh. Okay, go ahead.

SPEAKER_05 6:43

So my first question. This is a simple one.

SPEAKER_00 6:46

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 6:46

So, as farmers, we always our time. It's kind of here, there, everywhere. So, when Cody says he'll be home in a little bit, how long is that?

SPEAKER_00 6:58

Well, where is he currently located?

SPEAKER_05 7:01

We'll say he's at home doing cow stuff.

SPEAKER_00 7:04

Five hours, literally.

SPEAKER_05 7:05

Five hours is a little bit.

SPEAKER_04 7:06

Wrong and correct.

SPEAKER_03 7:08

Is it worse? Is it worse when he's at home rather than when he's up here, as far as like when he'll tell you be he'll be home?

SPEAKER_00 7:15

He is worse at home than up here. Right. Because he can talk more down there. Usually when he's up here, he's like, I gotta get down, I gotta go to Duke House, and he's like, straight. Like, even if I asked him to stop at Walmart to pick up something, he is moaning and groaning in his head.

SPEAKER_03 7:34

Ooh, I have something I have to tell you.

SPEAKER_04 7:36

But like 4 35 o'clock when I stopped through there, and it's a mad house.

SPEAKER_03 7:40

I got Walmart delivery the other day when the guys were home for lunch. And he's like, Yeah, it's so nice. Addie started doing that, so I don't have to stop at Walmart if I'm I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 7:51

And he does not believe me because I'm like, honestly, you pay, you know, this X amount and it's like 90 bucks a year, but I get it for practically free because of and you get free um like Paramount Plus?

SPEAKER_03 8:05

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 8:06

So how often do you watch the Paramount Plus?

SPEAKER_00 8:09

I actually watched it a lot.

SPEAKER_03 8:10

Yeah, we're watching Landman on it. That's true. Okay. I just checked. You can't complain if you're watching an episode on it, too.

SPEAKER_05 8:17

You're getting off track here. Okay, okay, sorry. Go ahead. So my next question. So in a bit was five hours.

SPEAKER_03 8:23

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 8:24

So what about it might be a while?

SPEAKER_00 8:27

Five hours and five seconds.

SPEAKER_03 8:28

Oh, when a guy says it might be a while.

SPEAKER_05 8:30

Yeah. I'll be home in a while.

SPEAKER_00 8:32

I don't think Cody knows the difference between the two.

SPEAKER_03 8:34

I don't let you say that. I'm like, I don't want to hear that. I want to if you tell me five hours, okay, it's five hours, at least I know in my mind. That's what are five hours? A while, what does that mean?

SPEAKER_04 8:44

It takes longer than you think.

SPEAKER_00 8:46

Okay, then you factor that. I would rather you tell me it's gonna take me five hours and it really only takes you two hours.

SPEAKER_05 8:52

I could say what it is say, I don't know. Yeah, because when you're out doing something, a project. What are you doing?

SPEAKER_03 8:58

That's not true. That's so not true. If you're there's projects that you're doing that you just don't know, you know how long before you're gonna run out of seed. Sometimes.

unknown 9:07

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 9:09

Okay, I am. Then it takes twice as long as you cannot be prescriptive. Okay, but you cannot be prescriptive to every single thing that happens in the world today. You can't. So as Brady and I, we understand that you can't say like something you're planning on something breaking. But what you can plan to do is that you can plan to say, no, I have a hard stop at 5 p.m. I don't care if I'm in the middle of something, it's my responsibility to plan my evening or plan my day around the hard stop at 5 p.m.

SPEAKER_03 9:40

Literally, I I have a for example from today, literally from like five hours ago. Tyler comes home for lunch. For the last two weeks, I have known that we're doing this evening. So I need to go to my appointment, so that means Tyler has to be home so that I can leave. And at lunch, he goes, Well, I might be getting product uh this afternoon. He said early afternoon, but I may have to bring Branson with me to the shop. And I'm like, he's not sitting in his car seat so that you can BS with the guy and unload the product. And it was fine, it worked out, but I'm like, you've told me this time, so don't turn around and change it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 10:22

At the last minute time.

SPEAKER_03 10:23

If we get really awkward on this podcast, someone's here, and I just don't know that I can actually talk in front of my father-in-law.

SPEAKER_00 10:28

Is it Matt?

SPEAKER_04 10:29

I don't know who it is.

SPEAKER_00 10:30

It's definitely a oh they're they're driving away.

SPEAKER_04 10:33

That's your pickup, I think.

SPEAKER_00 10:35

Okay, well.

SPEAKER_03 10:36

So anyway, yeah. I just I'm like, I guess don't I would have found other care for the children if you weren't going to say, or if you're gonna change plans on me.

SPEAKER_05 10:49

That doesn't always work.

SPEAKER_00 10:50

Yeah, well, my anxiety needs that to work.

SPEAKER_05 10:54

So he should have picked a husband a different profession.

SPEAKER_00 10:57

No, I picked my husband because I love my husband. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 11:00

You want him to change his profession.

SPEAKER_00 11:02

No, I'm saying that he just needs to be responsible. Thank you. Yes. Okay. Okay, next question, Tyler.

SPEAKER_05 11:09

You got any questions, Cody? No.

SPEAKER_03 11:11

Cody's just here. He's just here for a good time.

SPEAKER_05 11:14

So the next one, you talked about us going to meetings all the time in a podcast. Okay. So I would like to know how many meetings a year do I go to? And how many meetings a year do I not go to?

SPEAKER_00 11:27

Okay, first of all, can I clarify a question? When we say meetings, does that mean meetings with tax people, meetings with No, just the fun meetings you guys talk about?

SPEAKER_03 11:36

Oh, so they're fun meetings. Okay, so what is fun to you? Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 11:41

The ones that you don't necessarily have to be at. It's not like a tax appointment. Tax appointment you gotta be there. If you're having a grower meeting, you don't necessarily have to be able to do that.

SPEAKER_00 11:50

And is it truly a meeting, or are you calling it a meeting?

SPEAKER_03 11:55

Because it's normally like a clinic or a conference or a appreciation, dinner, lunch, or you're saying.

SPEAKER_05 12:03

Or those meetings. Yeah, those would be considered meetings. Business meetings. I would say You can do Cody, don't do me. My wife knows. I was gonna say how many Cody goes to.

SPEAKER_00 12:12

Cody gets invited to probably 20.

SPEAKER_05 12:15

So how many does he go to?

SPEAKER_00 12:17

Zero. No, not really. If he's if he can choose to go, it's with you guys. And so I would say maybe well is Husker Harvest Days.

SPEAKER_03 12:30

No, that's a field trip, I think. And then we get to go on that, so I'm not gonna complain about that.

SPEAKER_00 12:37

But then there's like the farm show up in Lincoln. Does that care? Okay, you go.

SPEAKER_03 12:42

So I don't care.

SPEAKER_05 12:44

No, no, I was just I was this is a factual one. Right, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 12:48

How many meetings a year? I don't care how many meetings a year. Go to every single one of them. But I want you home at the time you tell me you're going to be home.

SPEAKER_00 12:56

And not do unthinkable things with your friends on the way home.

SPEAKER_04 13:02

Illegal. What have we done that's illegal? Yeah, there's not illegal.

SPEAKER_00 13:05

Who was driving on the way back from Kearney?

SPEAKER_04 13:09

What? We sat and had a few beers and talked after that.

SPEAKER_03 13:13

That would be illegal.

SPEAKER_04 13:15

Why is that illegal?

SPEAKER_03 13:17

Because the law says it is. I don't know. I don't make the law.

SPEAKER_04 13:20

We had beers, not Matt.

SPEAKER_00 13:22

Who was driving?

SPEAKER_03 13:23

Matthew.

SPEAKER_04 13:24

Matthew.

SPEAKER_05 13:25

We had the beer. We didn't do nothing wrong.

SPEAKER_00 13:29

Uh-uh.

SPEAKER_03 13:30

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_05 13:30

Anyway.

SPEAKER_03 13:31

Technically, we don't live in Missouri, so it still is illegal to have an open container in the vehicle. But besides the point, back onto the question. I literally do not care. You can go to every meeting that you're meeting, quote unquote meeting. You can go to any one you want to all year long, but be home by a certain time. Um, like when I had a brand new newborn and a toddler, and you said, I'll be home at 6 30, wrong. Nine o'clock, he rolls in the door, and I did everything by myself. Did I care that you went to the meeting? No. Did I care that you didn't get home when you told me? Yes. Cody's gonna be a good one. You're the one asking the questions.

SPEAKER_04 14:05

Yeah, because we don't have any kids. Yes, the only kid we have is a dog.

SPEAKER_02 14:09

But still, you make plans because timing still matters to you.

SPEAKER_04 14:14

It does.

SPEAKER_00 14:17

Oh no, you're not leaving. Okay, next question, Tyler.

SPEAKER_03 14:21

You can't get upset. You're asking the questions. I just answered honestly.

SPEAKER_05 14:24

So for these conferences, how much do my conferences cost me compared to the one that you girls are gonna go to in August?

SPEAKER_00 14:32

How much has Brady spent? So far? Zero. Guess what? Does it matter?

SPEAKER_05 14:37

No, I just was a question. No.

SPEAKER_00 14:39

Yours cost more.

SPEAKER_05 14:42

No. You buy the seed, you get the meeting for free. Next one.

SPEAKER_00 14:49

Wait, hang on, what did you ask? How expensive?

SPEAKER_05 14:52

The cost. Like my meetings, I don't cost me anything. They're free to go to. I don't learn stuff. I think your guys' meeting, or conference, whatever it is, out in where is it, Missouri?

SPEAKER_03 15:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 15:04

That's expensive compared to my meetings.

SPEAKER_03 15:06

It is expensive, but also I think you know, you your meetings may be like a couple hours here, a couple hours there, and this is gonna be like a whole weekend for us, and yes, we do have to pay for it, but it's the one we're going, it's the one thing we're doing.

SPEAKER_00 15:22

Plus, it most meetings, most conferences you have to pay for.

SPEAKER_05 15:28

Like I didn't pay for any of mine to go to.

SPEAKER_00 15:31

Because you bought forty-five thousand dollars worth of seed.

SPEAKER_05 15:34

Yeah, that's just added back.

SPEAKER_00 15:35

That's like saying that you bought a $45,000 hat and a free tractor came with it, Tyler.

SPEAKER_05 15:40

Sometimes that happens.

SPEAKER_00 15:41

Oh my goodness. That's like girl math. Like you guys get mad at us for girl math.

SPEAKER_03 15:45

This is No, and I'm not even gonna say, like, it's definitely a like fun time. I'm excited to go. I know I'm paying for it. Like I'm I'm not trying to like sugarcoat it or be like, I need to go this reason or XYZ. But it is one time of year compared to your you've gone to what three meetings in the last two weeks. Week?

SPEAKER_05 16:06

Something like that.

SPEAKER_03 16:07

So you see what I mean? No, I'm not.

SPEAKER_05 16:10

I was just asking a question. Okay, on to the next one. Okay, so now that I got you riled up, we'll bring you back down to Earth.

SPEAKER_03 16:16

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 16:16

What's your favorite meal to make to bring out?

SPEAKER_03 16:20

Sliders. They're easy and you guys always seem to like them, unless you lie to me.

SPEAKER_06 16:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 16:26

Wait, I'm not complaining after a day eating a sandwich and sitting in a cab all day.

SPEAKER_03 16:30

Which is funny, because it's still a sandwich, but at least it's warm.

SPEAKER_00 16:33

Yeah, it's different if it's hot.

SPEAKER_05 16:37

Addie, do you have any flying?

SPEAKER_00 16:39

I don't usually bring out meals just because of where I live, but if I would have to make a favorite meal, like if I was making it at home, it would be if it's quickened eat well, yeah, pasta.

SPEAKER_03 16:51

Oh no. We opened a can of worms.

SPEAKER_00 16:54

I was gonna say we made pasta last night.

SPEAKER_05 16:56

Yeah, we have to buy lunch at least, yeah. Cody eats pasta for like a week straight at lunch.

SPEAKER_00 17:02

It's because there's only two of us at home. I don't have to feed anyone else, but just us two. No, it's literally a box of spaghetti and a pound of ground beef. Actually, it's a pound and a half because that's what we get it packaged as, but it's really not that much. Anywho, if I would have to make something quick, and I know Cody would want to eat it, it's barbecue meatballs and cheesy potatoes. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 17:28

It's pretty good. I have that for a week too.

SPEAKER_00 17:31

Again, we only have two frickin' feet mouths to feed.

SPEAKER_03 17:36

Yeah, that does suck. I because like growing up in such a big family, I you know, I would cook meals here and there. But then when Tyler and I got married, he's like, stop making so much food. It's like you don't need two pounds of burger for a spaghetti.

SPEAKER_00 17:52

I if we're having people over, I definitely go overboard for sure.

SPEAKER_03 17:56

I do too. I don't know. That's a it's a bad thing to run out of food. Yeah, I would rather have too much food. Yeah, but okay, on to the next.

SPEAKER_05 18:06

That's a good one. Okay, so my other question I got is what's the best purchase that I've made for our farm?

SPEAKER_03 18:14

Oh, that's a really good question.

SPEAKER_05 18:16

And vice versa, you can start thinking what best purchase codies made for you.

SPEAKER_00 18:19

Or side by side. It's probably my favorite purchase so far.

SPEAKER_04 18:23

I would agree with that one. That one. I didn't really want to do it, but you talked me into it. I wasn't fighting you on it because I've been waiting for a while.

SPEAKER_03 18:30

Oh, I didn't realize you talked him into it.

SPEAKER_00 18:33

I mean, we've definitely thought about it. Like we were talking about it and how we said, like, if we were gonna buy a side-by-side, it's going to be enclosed, it's going to have AC, it's gonna have heat. Like, I'm not buying anything less than that. And so finally there was some at Husker Harvest Days that we looked at and everything, and then I finally you bought it from them, didn't you? Yeah, just after. Right. Um, because we just didn't want to hold it back. And so I ended up saying, like, all right, let's go. Load it up.

SPEAKER_05 18:58

Some of these meetings we go to are actually good things. They've benefited you.

SPEAKER_00 19:01

But we just said that Husker Harvest Days was not a meeting. It's a field trip. Oh, okay, different.

SPEAKER_03 19:05

Sorry. And we did buy, I don't know if you saw our side by side. You guys influenced us to buy the Tyler, to buy the fender flares. Well, we bought a fender. Oh, yeah, there you go.

SPEAKER_05 19:15

We added fender flares because we already had it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 19:17

Yeah, they're nice. Um, my answer is probably your planter.

unknown 19:23

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 19:24

But that's just because I'm on to this new like um farming venture, and I think it's beneficial to have closer rows. So that's probably my answer. Okay. What do you think it should be?

SPEAKER_05 19:34

No, I was just generally curious.

SPEAKER_03 19:36

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 19:37

So then the last one. We'll see how well you actually know what goes on in the farm dollar-wise.

SPEAKER_06 19:45

Oh. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 19:47

So for a typical acre that you're going to plant corn, how much money do you think you put in per acre? For an irrigated or dry land, I don't care.

SPEAKER_00 19:57

Didn't you just say that you were gonna save like eight dollars an acre? For what? Because you we were talking about oh, switching over switching to soybean. We were having a conversation or something.

SPEAKER_04 20:10

I thought about it, but after today and last night's rally, and then kind of back in the hole.

SPEAKER_05 20:15

But oh, instead of doing corn? Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 20:18

It was like literally just a lot of acres that should have done.

SPEAKER_03 20:20

Like the price of seed per acre? Or like you're you're planting corn and like how much input goes into each acre.

SPEAKER_05 20:27

So total input per acre.

SPEAKER_04 20:29

So like you guys are talking about switching. So I was talking about that the other day.

SPEAKER_05 20:32

So like seed expense, fertilizer, you got equipment expenses, chemicals. Like if you're gonna budget to plant an acre. If Cody and I die, you guys gotta know this. She don't know anything about the city.

SPEAKER_00 20:45

Oh, I and that's gonna say I don't need to know that.

SPEAKER_03 20:49

I'm calling, I'm calling our pioneer dealer, our decal dealer, or maybe they just jack the rates up on you and tell you how to do that. Oh, they do not know their family.

SPEAKER_00 20:58

They're not going to. I was gonna say, and that's what um books are useful for. You go back and you look. No, honestly. I mean, I probably sound like an idiot, but I'm gonna guess maybe this will be good for all the farmers listening. I was gonna say maybe 35 bucks an acre.

SPEAKER_04 21:22

I wish it was.

SPEAKER_05 21:23

Seriously? I really like I I really I mean, I'm thinking down in our neck of the woods where we don't have to do for fertilizer, seed, chemical, everything per acre. No way. I know what the getting to spend $35 on the case.

SPEAKER_03 21:35

I know what some of the big checks are because I write them, but I can't break that down like that.

SPEAKER_00 21:40

Like, I don't know where all those like how much like I know that we spend X amount of money in seed and fertilizer, but with me, like I get so confused because it's like Cody will go buy seed and he'll say that it's for seed, and then it's like, okay, but I don't know if it's alfalfa seed or corn or soybeans. I also don't know what you're spraying. I'm gonna call nutrient. And I'm gonna go have them spray. Okay, great. But I don't know if you're spraying alfalfa. If you're just spraying our pasture, are you spraying like well? Okay, you're spraying.

SPEAKER_03 22:08

I even am on my 30-acre farm venture and literally just had some product come in today. My kelp came in today. I can't tell you how couldn't tell you how much it costs.

SPEAKER_05 22:23

You don't even want to take a guess? Take a guess. 35 bucks you came and plant us anyway.

SPEAKER_00 22:27

Okay, then $350 there, Tyler, add a zero. I don't know. $650?

SPEAKER_05 22:34

Maybe for dry land.

SPEAKER_00 22:36

Jesus.

SPEAKER_01 22:37

No kidding.

SPEAKER_00 22:38

$650 for dry land corn.

SPEAKER_01 22:41

Yeah. What's irrigated? A thousand.

SPEAKER_00 22:43

No. What? You need to get out of farming.

SPEAKER_05 22:48

Save so much money. So much a line of credit, that's why. How about we just get more cows? Yeah, so that was my second question. So how much do you put into a cow a year?

SPEAKER_00 22:58

We actually broke that out.

SPEAKER_03 23:00

We did on um that what episode was that?

SPEAKER_00 23:03

It was an episode we talked about how the difference of like 1920s to like today.

SPEAKER_03 23:08

With farming and with cows.

SPEAKER_00 23:09

Mm-hmm. But we didn't necessarily break it out per did we do per pound? Well, we did it, we did it per head, but we did it like different. Like there was a difference between the two of like 1920s. Like you make X amount. Is that a free calf that we birthed?

SPEAKER_05 23:29

I don't know, sure. Free.

SPEAKER_00 23:32

I mean it's free. It reproduced on our farm.

SPEAKER_05 23:36

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 23:37

I mean, it's not essentially free, but I don't have a clue.

SPEAKER_05 23:41

I don't know anything about cows.

SPEAKER_04 23:42

I just thought I'd say around $300 or $400 ahead a year to run a cow. Probably. I guess I really sat down and really knit that I mean it's just kind of gonna be like with the feet.

SPEAKER_00 23:56

If anyone can hear the feet rubbing against the table, Addie's OCD is on the car right now with all the with everybody.

SPEAKER_03 24:02

I made Cody Red Bull and she looked at me like she was gonna kill me.

SPEAKER_00 24:07

I made Cody change his chair because he was squeaking in it. Three chairs.

SPEAKER_04 24:12

I had three chairs. I had that one I want to sit in. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 24:15

No, that's wild though. I mean, I'm really glad that you asked that question. It's really eye-opening. Because I do. I write the checks for seed and for chemical, and I see those big numbers, and I know what the line of credit was and is now. And so I've seen those big numbers, but like to break it down per acre, that's interesting to me. I mean, I could a little bit um anxiety inducing, but I could totally spin it.

SPEAKER_00 24:38

I know with Cody specifically, he wouldn't know, but maybe Tyler would know. But like, how much do we spend on groceries? How much do we spend on Tyler for our utilities?

SPEAKER_03 24:47

Tyler thought a gallon of milk was a dollar fifty.

SPEAKER_00 24:49

Are you kidding me?

SPEAKER_03 24:52

You went six months ago to a year ago, you thought that a gallon of milk was a dollar fifty.

SPEAKER_05 24:57

That's pretty true. I could probably spend a thousand bucks a month in groceries pretty easy.

SPEAKER_03 25:01

I mean, I'm on a budget now, so I gotta be on a budget for my crops.

SPEAKER_05 25:07

You gotta be a budget for the house. It's only fair.

SPEAKER_00 25:09

Yeah. It looks like you're not getting fed.

SPEAKER_03 25:12

No saying, but like I just think I mean, we talk about this a lot in a lot of our episodes about the difference between our husbands' roles and our roles. Um but that kind of do you have any more questions before I get into it? The last one. Okay, perfect.

SPEAKER_05 25:26

That's all I got. Yeah, thanks.

SPEAKER_03 25:30

That's great. Welcome to a day in my life, guys. Um, so Addy and I talk a lot about having farmer husbands, and we can relate in a lot of ways because obviously, yeah, Cody has the cows, so that's different, but rocrop farming is the same. They're, I mean, you know, so we get to have that um relatability. But with our husbands, uh us as wives are very, very different with you having a full-time job and me staying at home. I guess what are your like for each of you? Like my question to you is what are your like pros and cons? Like, are there times you wish I was a full-time, like had a full-time 40-hour week job, or do you like that I'm staying at home, or like what are your thoughts on that?

SPEAKER_05 26:15

I think I like that you stay at home because it can be helpful, like when you go to be actress for whatever with the kids. Hey, pick up this part at John Deere or vice versa. If we really need something, you just gotta pack the kids up and then you can help, which is nice.

SPEAKER_03 26:29

I will say it would be nice to have an interview.

SPEAKER_05 26:32

I think you complain about that. I wouldn't have to work as hard then. You still would work as hard, let's be honest.

SPEAKER_03 26:37

So, what about you, Cody?

SPEAKER_04 26:39

I don't know. How do you really just stay at home anyways? I work. I mean, not like I mean you're home now, you're not going to the Beatrice for work.

SPEAKER_03 26:47

Right, right. Oh my goodness. Oh my gosh. Yes, yes. That's a better way to word it.

SPEAKER_00 26:54

Everyone will think I'm being lying. If you just could I work.

SPEAKER_05 27:00

But she don't wake up at 5 30 every morning either.

SPEAKER_00 27:03

What time did my alarm go off this morning?

SPEAKER_04 27:06

About the time I got up, but I got up early today to go to the atrium's court. Right.

SPEAKER_00 27:10

But my alarm goes off at what time every morning?

SPEAKER_04 27:12

5 30. I can sleep in the mind slapped and hit my home.

SPEAKER_00 27:16

Tyler does too. He sleeps through his. So that was one thing that I said I would come with receipts. Thank you. Thank you for validating it.

SPEAKER_03 27:26

Um sorry. On to that same topic. Sorry, we kind of got off there. What is uh as far as your view? Are I mean I know obviously you love your career and you're really good at it and you're really driven. Are there times where you maybe would like to stay home or look at my life and you're like, oh, that would be nice.

SPEAKER_00 27:51

Cody and I literally just had that conversation yesterday as we were coming back home. Is would I love just maybe a week off where I did not have to worry about anything work related? Absolutely. But would I get two days into that week and go to my computer and start working or go do something? Right. It's my to-do list is always work-related or home related, and so I think yes, I would love that. But what Cody and I talked about is I said, you can always be a stay-at-home dad. And he was just like, No, I would rip my hair out. He's like, I could never stay home. And I was just like, Yeah, I couldn't either. Because I couldn't take a kid and strap them to me and go do it. And I was just like, and I couldn't either. And this is a healthy conversation that we're having because you would just expect me to do it because you know there's the gender roles of the woman just has to do it, and I am point blank saying, I am not doing that. I will be sending my kid to someone else and saying hasta la vista for 10 hours, eight hours, whatever, and I'm completely okay with that. Yeah, um, I think no, there's never a time that I would envy somebody else or want to be in their role because I believe that God, you know, gave me the skills and the knowledge to do the job that I do, and I'm happy with that. But just to have a frickin' week off would be great. But I know that realistically it probably wouldn't work.

SPEAKER_03 29:17

I can definitely relate to the just bringing in income. Like there's so there's a lot of times where I just like feel that guilt of not providing, but that's probably my only I I love being able to stay at home with the kids.

SPEAKER_00 29:29

Yeah, and you've always talked about how you that was always like your calling and always your like want to stay home, where I have point blank said like I do not want to stay home. And there's times where like I actually enjoy being not necessarily the breadwinner because Cody works very, very hard, but I mean there's definitely times where I would bring in more income and Cody just gets paid big chunks at certain points in the year, so there's that difference. It's getting easier. Oh, for sure, for sure.

SPEAKER_03 29:58

So, what about you guys? This is kind of just gonna be a teaser into our next episode. But was farming always your calling? Is there anything else you would have liked to do or thought you would do? Or is this it?

SPEAKER_04 30:10

Hattie always knows. I always say this. If I was probably single, I'd probably be in a truck.

SPEAKER_00 30:15

Trucking, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 30:16

You're probably the same way.

SPEAKER_05 30:17

No, I kinda drive semi every day.

SPEAKER_03 30:19

You wouldn't?

SPEAKER_05 30:20

Well, I could drive one every day, we do, but not sleep in the thing and go over the road.

SPEAKER_03 30:24

Right.

SPEAKER_05 30:25

I'm good with my non daycaps.

SPEAKER_04 30:28

I could be wrong, I guess.

SPEAKER_00 30:30

We're not gonna do that.

SPEAKER_03 30:31

Is that what you would want to do though?

SPEAKER_04 30:34

There's some things in trucking that are good, pay good, I mean consistent. And like this farming deal, I mean it's kind of all over the board right now, but yeah. Besides the point.

SPEAKER_05 30:44

You get a few good years, you gotta make them stretch for the next crappy years. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 30:50

So what about you? Farming's it? You ever want to do anything different?

SPEAKER_05 30:54

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_02 30:55

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 30:56

Maybe be a salesman.

SPEAKER_03 30:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 30:59

You're kind of doing that already a little bit?

SPEAKER_05 31:01

No, I'm just doing that. If you need some spray tech products.

SPEAKER_02 31:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 31:05

Hit Hydman Advanced Ag up. It's a free sponsorship, guys. This is a sponsorship today. How much money are you paying us? Everything you're looking at on the camera is basically paid for by Hydeman Advanced.

SPEAKER_02 31:17

No. No.

SPEAKER_05 31:20

The storage here, the storage shed behind us, Hydman Advanced Egg storage shed. It uh basically paid for this episode to have it. I gave you the background.

SPEAKER_03 31:33

Okay, well, we'll wrap this one up. Um, we will see you in part two of the husband's, well, I guess, mental hall. But thanks for listening, guys. See you next time.

SPEAKER_00 31:43

Bye. Bye.

SPEAKER_03 31:49

They say a farmer's work is never done. Well, neither is ours. Come back next week for a new episode of Life Between the Rows.
