Chapter 1: What milestones did the Farm4Profit community achieve in 2025?
Farming comes with trade-offs. An extra pass means dinner in the cab. An early morning becomes a late night. Unnecessary restrictions turn into headaches. But when you make Enlist Herbicides the foundation of your herbicide program, the trade-offs will be in your favor. Effective weed control that's ready to work when you are. Flexible tank mix options and neighbor-friendly applications.
All without the need to jump through hoops. See what you'll gain with America's most trusted herbicide system protecting your Enlist E3 soybean fields at Enlist.com.

the first implementation of getting over that hurdle was Rachel and now Cody. And it might take more beyond that. But like you said, I think we're really close to some pretty cool things. I don't know. I don't know what it is. Is it a different show? More shows? Something more live type stuff? I'm open to it. That's what I'm looking forward to.
Yeah, it's a lot of fun to think without limit.
There is a podcast in Iowa. Funk for profit was named by the Fakester. We'll be right back.
Hey, listeners. Merry Christmas.

Chapter 2: What were our favorite podcast moments from 2025?
I don't know how we get our road trip to Hawaii. Do you know what a write-off is? Write it off. Who writes it off? The government. So, yes, Iowa and Illinois account for 20% of our audience. You know what's surprising? Where's Alaska? Well, to keep it on your piece of paper, I stopped at 30 and jumped to 41. So Alaska's in your middle.
Oh, yeah. That's pretty good. Good job, Alaska. You know, there's a lot of agriculture going on there, too. They've got some programs to try to get people to move up there and farm. What about D.C.?
That's the 51st state. It don't count. None of those politicians want to hear what we have to say anyway. They don't want to hear what we want to say. So, yes, the bottom five states are Hawaii, Rhode Island, Maine, Vermont, and Delaware. So I guess we get no good syrup.
That tracks. Yeah. So Rhode Island, Maine, Vermont, Delaware, that tracks really. That makes sense.
So as you, as an audience, gives you an idea of where these listeners are coming from, I want to let you know from January 1st to Thanksgiving, we had 196,265 different listeners. Say that number again. 196,265. 196,265 different listeners. And some of them even came from Pakistan. They did. They did. They did. 137 different countries? We were in 137 different countries.
How many countries are there? Did we look this up? Jamie? That's a good question.
You have a computer. Well, how many is it?
That's a good question. I thought it was 180.
Didn't any of you pay attention in social studies?

Chapter 3: What unexpected wins and personal highlights occurred this year?
And I think it was YouTube.
Yeah. More people need to subscribe, though. Oh, absolutely. We need subs.
Yeah, that's slowed down. I think we're at 64, 5,000 on YouTube. It'd be really cool to have one of them plaques up on the wall at 100.
I know, right? Yeah. That should be a 2026 goal. That is, yeah.
Boy, I think we only gained like 10,000 this last year.
We could do it.
We went from one to 50 pretty fast. Yeah. Cody, what the heck?
We could do that.
YouTube.

Chapter 4: What struggles did we face in 2025 and what did they teach us?
Yeah, P2P sharing, point-to-point sharing.
Interesting. Yeah. So you, that say that you're farmers, most of you farm between 500 and 2,500 acres. 59% of you say that you have livestock, and out of the people that say you have livestock, 41% of you say you have cattle.
I was surprised by that number as I read through these last night. Yeah. The... 59% of livestock. We don't talk about livestock enough.
We are getting more of that. But yes, every one of our livestock shows do really well.
We're doing two dairy shows today.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. One before and one after this.
He's going to buy cows for next year, so.
Hmm.
Let's get back in.

Chapter 5: What are we most excited about heading into 2026?
She's a keeper. The fact that she didn't get sick of us, we didn't get sick of her, we had enough work for her to do, she gave us enough work to do.
And she created more work. Correct. Which then we had to hire another person.
Yeah. I mean, it's a lot of fun to be a part of something that's growing and growing in ways that nobody's ever done it before. Nobody does it like Farm for Profit, whether you like it or you don't. You're listening. You probably like it. Nobody does it like we do.
It is unique. Like, yeah, we are not a... Social media influencer of the sorts that just is going out there. We don't have fans that are like, oh my gosh, come give me your autograph.
I don't have to worry about people driving down my driveway.
Yeah. Yeah. But I don't know. What do you call that? We just try hard? Try hard. Try hard. Try hard.
Yeah. We do have fans. When we are seen in public, when we go to farm shows- It's so great to connect with them.
Yeah. I mean, it's great to connect with anyone in agriculture, whether they're a listener or not, just because that's the people, right? That's why we all do this.
Mm-hmm.

Chapter 6: What new ideas and experiments do we want to implement for the community?
I don't know that it worked. It was just kind of fun. Sorry, Rachel. Have a little one. Everything we did was with love. That's just how guys are. Guys do show admiration by giving each other shit and playing pranks on each other.
If they're not making fun of you, you're probably not in the club.
I tell you what, speaking of shows, we, for the first time, got to go to Ag PhD days. And that is a that's a field day. It is literally a one day field day. And if you're within driving distance, that's something I would say should be on most farmers bucket list because I didn't know what to expect. And I've never been to a show that I guess it's not a show. It's a field day.
I've never been to an event like that.
Not very educational forward. I mean, if you the best and the worst part of that field day is that it's a day. That is one you truly could probably benefit from two days of, or go sit through classes one day, then go see the trade show portion of the field day, and then go see all the field demos that they had running and all that stuff. They had some cool stuff.
We got to record a podcast in a different podcast studio that wasn't ours. Yeah, it was a professional one. That was pretty cool. Yeah, pretty high tech.
Little Rob. Bob Sharkey. And see, I was thinking, even that, when you brought that up, was our trip down to be on the Barn Talk podcast. Oh, yeah.
We had to record it in the barn. I guess we recorded there, too. Yeah.
I think my two of two favorite podcast-related memories, not necessarily podcasts, was when Rick and I got our perms out at Husker Harvest. And then Dave and I got to go to the NASCAR experience at the race down there in Newton. John Deere took us there, and we got to go down to, what was it, RCR Racing and sit up in their pit box.

Chapter 7: Who makes up the Farm4Profit audience based on listener demographics?
More emails and more.
No. I mean, I do keep myself out of that somewhat. That's why we have Rachel and Cody to keep me. Because if I try to engulf myself in everything, my brain just gets fried.
If there's something that I'm looking forward to in 2026 is doing more with less partners. Partners? Yep. I want to keep it as simple and as clean. Obviously, you as the listeners have been asking for that. You understand there has to be ads on the show, right, to make this financially move forward.
But there are strategic ways that I think we can do less invasive and more content-driven partnerships.
Mm-hmm. I would agree. I mean, obviously, larger partners, it's easier to plan for, right? Because you can go down the road to some of the smaller ones. Like, we just want an ad out, and it's like, we don't do that. Like, it's just, A, it's a bunch of administrative type stuff, and B, we know it's not the greatest spend of your dollar.
And we truly want to be with people that believe in us and that we believe in. Like, we say no more than we say yes. I will tell you that right now. Yeah.
What are you looking forward to, Dave?
John Deere's next update. So I geek out on the tech, and I love being at the John Deere booth because I want to go and see what new technology they got. I can't afford it. They don't give it to me for free. I wish they did. But every year we've got to see the newest, latest, greatest, coolest tech that just makes me envious. So that's kind of what I'm looking forward to.
I can't wait to see what your next tractor is.

Chapter 8: How can listeners engage with the Farm4Profit community moving forward?
And great. It's just another trade show. No, I think it'll be a whole new experience for us. I think that's going to feel like when we went to World Ag Expo. That show, we'd never been to one that felt like that at all. I bet you CattleCon will be a lot of fun. Yeah.
It's in Nashville. Yeah. It's hard not to have fun in Nashville. Yeah. Maybe we get Corey to ride a bull. A real one.
Let's do it. I'm in.
I'm looking forward to... I'm going to combine the new ideas segment and most looking forward to together. I think more collabs with our friends like we did with Barn Talk over their show and our show. I think that's kind of cool. I'm looking forward to...
We've had a lot of ideas the last several years that just never get implemented because we just do not have the means or the capacity or the knowledge to do it. And the first implementation of getting over that hurdle was Rachel and now Cody. And it might take more beyond that. But like you said, I think we're really close to some pretty cool things. I don't know. I don't know what it is. Is it?
Different show, more shows, something more live type stuff. I'm open to it. So that's what I'm looking forward to.
It's a lot of fun to think without limit. We don't have a predecessor. We don't have somebody that's done it one way before we've done it. You can look outside of this industry, right? Look into sports. You can look into news. You can look into on the feminine side, bath and beauty and all that kind of stuff.
And sure, people are doing different things, but nobody's ever done it like this in agriculture. That's what's cool about it.
You blaze your trail.
