Deep in the heart of America's farm country, Big Iron stands as the nation's largest agricultural show, sprawling across 300 acres of the Red River Valley Fairgrounds. On this special episode of America's Land Auctioneer, host Steve Link takes us through the final day of the 45th annual event, capturing conversations with the innovators shaping modern agriculture.The spotlight first falls on Chris Paulson and his groundbreaking QA Farmer app. Born from frustration with existing digital tools, this purpose-built application consolidates weather forecasts, grain market data, and inventory management into one intuitive interface. "I used to log into four or five websites," shares one farmer, "now I literally just have to go into one app." Developed in just three months after consulting with dozens of producers, the app represents agriculture's ongoing digital transformation.We then journey into the sugar beet harvest with Harrison Weber of the Red River Valley Sugarbeet Growers Association. Weber explains the unique dual-harvest system and the delicate balance between sugar content and tonnage. With prices down 30-40% year-over-year, producers face significant challenges, yet remain optimistic about crop quality. "A good crop can mitigate some of those things," Weber notes, highlighting how weather, factory efficiencies, and storage conditions will ultimately determine the season's success.Ross Johnson of Agassi Drain Tile shares insights from his company's 20-year journey and their expansion into precision planting technology. "Getting everything placed, both spaced out evenly and at depth, with the same compaction over it" dramatically affects yield, Johnson explains. His comments reinforce a recurring theme throughout the episode: even in challenging economic times, strategic investment in the right technology delivers substantial returns.The episode concludes with Fair Director Cody Cashman revealing record vendor participation and exciting plans for next year's show, including the potential addition of a combine demolition derby. His passion for agricultural education shines through as he describes the fairground's year-round educational center and livestock enrichment program.Ready to experience more insights from America's agricultural heartland?

Justin was out last week, so we've pulled this from deep in the archives buried in the back of the TCBCast salt mines: Gurdip and Justin's 2022 review of Pat Boone's landmark 1963 Elvis tribute record "Pat Boone Sings Guess Who?" No, we're not joking!  This may be the most we're ever gonna talk about Pat Boone at one time so we crammed in a few of his other hits into the discussion on top of this... album? Experience? Prank? It's the project that got Boone inducted into Colonel Parker's Snowmen's League of America and features arrangements by credible jazz pianist Paul Smith. Part spoof, part homage... if you can only say one thing, well you can't say that Pat Boone was never in on the joke! Then, from the July 2022 edition of TCBCast Now, Justin heads west for our "Song of the Month" segment, selecting Marty Robbins' iconic 1959 showdown ballad "Big Iron," while Gurdip was inspired to pick Englebert Humperdinck's sweeping 1968 recording "A Man Without Love" by a recent movie viewing. Both songs Elvis was likely to have been familiar with, released during his lifetime from contemporaries! Next week on TCBCast, we'll be bringing our first impressions of the "Memphis" box set which releases THIS FRIDAY, August 9 - plus EAP Society co-host John Michael Heath will be joining in for a special episode about the history of Memphis' music industry.  If you like this kind of content, you can hear more bonus content just like this that we do for our supporters over at Patreon.com/TCBCast.
