    Jun 15 2026
    This week Ryan and Charlie get a down in the weeds look at vintage power fanaticism! Rob and Kelley Meyers of the International Harvester Collectors Club Chapter 33 dropped by Red Barn Studios to talk tractors, tanks, trucks and implements...every one of them carrying the IH logo. It's a fantastic romp through the history of this brand and may give you a few trivia nuggets to tuck away. The reasons folks hang on to or collect various items are wide ranging...but they are all personal. Everyone has a story! Settle in with a nice beverage and let's walk back in time, just a bit!

    Jun 1 2026
    Weather has been nearly perfect this past week for drying out fields. Even those with the wettest and toughest ground were able to get after it last week. But, now the social media "weatherists" are crowing about Flash Drought? Oh come on! But, there are increasing voices in parts of the state saying "we could use a rain" for various reasons, including activating chemistry. Are fertilizer prices heading down? We take a walk down memory lane on tractors, and also dig in to why its becoming more difficult to navigate repairs and breakdowns.

    The Little Red Barn Podcast Ep. 139: Farmer v. Farmer
    May 18 2026
    Plenty to rehash this week as USDA served up some WASDE surprises, Trump meets Xi and area farmers made more progress than perhaps we thought they could. But the big story of the week is ASA vs NCGA...or bean guys vs corn guys on the issue of E15. But this is not a new story. Farmers are notorious for not supporting fellow farmers if issues don't pertain to them, and flat out coming against fellow farmers if its in their own best interests. We're sure to ruffle feathers this week, of farmers, trade groups, and who knows who else. But its guaranteed to start conversations.

    The Little Red Barn Podcast Ep. 137: Marshmallows!
    May 4 2026
    An otherwise normal, low intensity podcast covering cold temps, planting delays, and general goings on in agriculture gets railroaded this week when Charlie references a spectacular crop of "marshmallows" growing along roadsides and in some of his fields. For the first time in Little Red Barn Podcast history, Ryan is actually speechless and cannot move forward on any topic. Guest Dave Weisflog shares in the befuddlement. The guys also tackle farm bill, E15 and several other things - all of which Ryan deems "don't matter".

    The Little Red Barn Podcast Ep. 136: Survey Says!
    Apr 27 2026
    This week Ryan and Charlie dive into fertilizer, weather, and the slow start to the growing season. But the big issue on this weeks podcast is "spin". All sorts of people, groups, companies, and entities are trying to make a story out of high fertilizer. And all have various reasons for the spin they are working. But, while high fertilizer prices are here and we dont like them is it really as big of deal, when it comes to this current crop year, as some are making it out to be? Food for thought, spurred by the recent highly publicized Farm Bureau Fertilizer Survey.
