Field Work

584

Hosted by two commercial row-crop farmers and a dairy farmer, Field Work is a podcast that provides space for frank, realistic discussions about the benefits and challenges of sustainable agriculture. Hosts Zach Johnson, Mitchell Hora, and Tara Vander Dussen (who joined the team in season four) explore the successes and challenges farmers experience as they adopt new practices, while still getting into the weeds on the difficulties.

    This is podcast is amazing.
    When I discovered this podcast, it was so interesting to me. I wasn’t raised on a farm, but the out there on farms. Really got me into lot of good things, and less bad things. We have been having farmers since, the world was created. Without them we’ll never be, here on this planet. For this time I appreciate the farmers, out there for making. Food, clothes, and other goods. That’s what I like about farms, including the equipment as well. I’m a Case IH guy 🤣😂

    Democrats.
    You ignorant democrats believe anything.
  • Cattle.00
    Thank You!!
    Love the conversations and subject matter that make farmers better!! FYI true regenerations of soil and biodiversity of farms receiving $15.- $25 per acre for carbon credit??? That’s an insult….don’t let huge corporations spout “carbon neutral” by buying these?? AUFKM??? It costs way more in cover crops, livestock, management practices, land taxes, and to get into then local county fair or state fair!!!
  • CurtisDoug
    Episode 10.
    Found the show last year and binged up to current when the season started this year. Mitchell I was also thinking AGR when the guest mentioned talking to a Fraternity! Austin Peay 1984 #009. I worked on a dairy in TN through HS and College then 30 years with SCS/NRCS and 10 years in as an Ag Lender with a Community Bank. Really enjoyed the early days of conservation tillage you featured. I like the regenerative ag features too. Just finished Gabe Brown’s book thanks to you and liked the regenerative dairy episode too. Today’s topic is very relevant with where the cost of inputs have gone and interest rates are heading. I have lost farm friends from both suicide and stress related heart attack/strokes. Keep up the good work and keep showing us new pages in the ever changing world of AG!!

    I just listened to Season 4 Episode 1, and I can already tell that Tara will improve the show. Just kidding. This is A very informative and entertaining podcast, and will be in my queue.
  • Clebman64

    Great information on topics with fantastic guests!
  • AL from SD
    Highly Recommend
    Great content that is both economical and logical.
  • Will from MI
    Love it, Keep it up
    Few thoughts wanted to share. Would love to hear more about integrating livestock into cover crops to generate cash flow to offset or completely pay for the cost of the cover. Also do you think the reason so many operations focus on top line revenue is the broad use of cash accounting in farming instead of accrual accounting that gives you a true profit or loss? Food for thought, MI Banker/Farmer

    Fun and Important
    Zac and Mitchell are entertaining, knowledgeable farmers that address important issues. Having grown up in Iowa, lived in Minnesota the last forty-nine years, and never involved in farming I really appreciate what you two are doing.
  • MT KAPS
    Best source of industry reality
    Excellent show! I appreciate how you weave together trends and hot topics in ag with on the ground reality. So informative, engaging and hugely valuable.

    Mitchell and Zach, Been listening since season 1 episode 1… Been very informative. I am not converting my 250 year old conventional tillage farm in Eastern Arkansas to regen practices and it is fun listing to Mitchell try and convert Zach’s dad….lol Thanks to folks like Rick and Liz Haney, Darrin Unruh, Tom Cannon and Adam Chappell, which I would love to hear some of them on your podcast, and the content of the podcast I have learned so much… Keep up the great work

  • A Series of Reprise
    Change it to seasons and news episodes on top
    The way it’s formatted on Apple Podcasts has it with the newest episodes at the bottom of the scroll and no distinction between seasons. Better organized layout makes it easier to see which newer episodes I haven’t heard yet.
  • coriddle
    Great podcast
    Really like this show I’m hoping it becomes regular! Haven’t had a new episode since I found it unfortunately
  • mn trucker
    Enjoy listening about what goes in to farming
    I’m not a farmer but I do enjoy listening to the pod cast and watch Zack videos and learn something that a farmer does and goes thru
  • Matthewd269
    A question
    What is strip tilling? I 13 and I love tractors and anything else farming.
  • low creek farms
    It is my one dream to be a farmer
    I’ve liked mn millennial farmer since when he came out. I am only twelve and it’s my dream to be a farmer when I grow up. Just know there are young ones watching I have some experience with tractors and things. I have a small farm that I started called low creek farms. Thanks
  • Fancierplanz6969
    LOVE IT
    My Papaw owns a farm thats been in the family for over 150+ years, and I have always been interested in agriculture as well, when I found this podcast, it was one of the first ones I’ve ever listened too and I am loving it! Great work guys!
  • Mason Musch
    Question
    Hi I’m a young farmer 15 I hope to be the 4th generation. And I was wondering what is strip tilling.
  • LisaD10
    Great show!
    I learn something every episode! Keep it up!
  • Grandma Jill in Minnesota
    Learning a lot!
    I am so proud of you two farmers. Not only are you interested in trying new things to make your farms economically viable and conservation oriented, but you are sharing it with us the EATING public. I am learning so much. It is an exciting new "field". Farming is essential to our lives and farmers are doing God's work for all of us. Thank you so much. Young people like you and your staff are making such an essential contribution to all of us in the world. Bless you both! I can't wait to hear more. A grateful Grandmother in Minnesota
  • Katiapriceless
    Yikes.
    I heard your intro episode on NPR ONE, which means based on other things I’d been interested in this was recommended. And I was, in fact, interested in the content. However, I quickly caught on to the fact that you are farming in a way that isn’t carbon sequestration first but yet you claim to be conservation minded, which I have no time for with climate change breathing down the neck of humanity. Secondly, one of you claimed boldly that your daughters weren’t into that sports and then immediately said they are into gymnastics- which is indeed a sport. A very challenging sport, at that, and the fact that you would insinuate otherwise forces me to believe that you hold sexist views about other things as well. Based on this I am forced to spend my pod time elsewhere. And there are plenty of other ag pods out there, about and by people actually doing the regenerative work our planet needs.
  • me in the flesh
    Can’t wait
    Love me some good MN
  • Osucka
