What does the future of agriculture look like? It might look a lot like this episode.

We’re bringing together two of the most recognizable voices in ag content—Just A Jackson Thing and Millennial Farmer—for a conversation that spans generations, experiences, and perspectives on modern farming.

Jackson is coming off a massive 2025—named Chief Tractor Kid, partnering with John Deere, raising his first independent crop (213 bpa on his first try), and building his operation from the ground up with everything from a 3020 to a 6620 combine.

On the other side, Zach Johnson—better known as Millennial Farmer—has helped define what ag storytelling looks like online, building one of the largest audiences in agriculture while documenting the realities of farming.

Together, this episode dives into:

What it takes to get started in farming today

Lessons learned from running your own crop

The reality behind social media in agriculture

The pressure and responsibility of being a voice for the industry

And how the next generation is shaping what comes next

From tractor restoration to content creation, this episode blends humor, real-world experience, and insight into where agriculture is headed.

Margins are tight, volatility is high, and every decision matters more than ever.

In this episode, we bring together two critical sides of the farm operation—grain marketing and agricultural finance—to help you build a smarter, more resilient plan for 2026.

We’re joined by Brett Strache from CGB Grain and Mike Eubanks from CGB AgriFinancial to break down what the market is telling us right now, how farmer behavior is shifting, and where the biggest risks—and opportunities—exist.

From commodity volatility and emotional marketing decisions to shrinking working capital and rising interest costs, this conversation focuses on the tools and strategies producers should be using to stay ahead.

We also dive into practical decision-making tools like loan calculators, ROI analysis for grain bins, and lease vs. finance vs. cash scenarios—helping you think through capital allocation in today’s environment.

This isn’t just a finance episode. It’s about putting your entire farm plan together—marketing, capital, and strategy—to make better decisions in both good times and tough ones.

Kaid Panek didn’t grow up in Idaho—but today, he’s helping shape the voice of modern ranching from the ground up.

In this episode, we sit down with Kaid to talk about his journey from a small-town upbringing in Utah to building a family-run ranching operation at Gem Valley Cattle in Southeast Idaho. Alongside his father-in-law and with his kids deeply involved in livestock showing through FFA and 4-H, Kaid represents what many in agriculture are striving for—building a legacy while raising the next generation.

But Kaid’s impact doesn’t stop at the ranch gate.

With a growing social media presence and his role as a brand strategist and content creator, he’s become a relatable voice for rural families, livestock show parents, and the broader ag community. From fundraising for youth livestock projects to co-hosting the Small Town Ruckus podcast, Kaid is helping bridge the gap between agriculture and the outside world through storytelling, humor, and authenticity.

This episode dives into the realities of modern ranch life, the importance of community, and how telling your story might be one of the most powerful tools in agriculture today.
