## Resource

We kick this one off as we build our top three songs for a late night playlist. A very special late night playlist that is... It goes exactly how you'd expect and maybe worse. From there we give a quick farm update with beans going in the ground and Bobby Lee getting fertilizer lined out for the hay. Then we break down some of the best equipment decisions we've made and a few we wish we could take back. The big conversation in this episode centers around public perception and why it's hard for the average factory worker to feel sorry for a farmer driving a Denali Duramax. It's an honest look at how things appear versus how they actually are. We also talk about the push for the new farm bill and why farmers need to be reaching out to their representatives right now. To close it out, we break down how much of the food dollar actually makes it back to the farmer and rancher. Hint, it's a lot less than you think. If you want real insight from farmers dealing with rising input costs, tight margins, and uncertainty heading into the growing season, this episode delivers it straight. Go check out Agzaga!
