Podcasts about tractors

She What?! Anne Anderson joins the podcast to talk MY27 updates for 6-series tractors, and at no point in this episode is it mentioned, even in the slightest, that she is the sister of one of the hosts of the podcast. Were we overdue for a familial episode? Absolutely. Is the 6-Series tractor lineup tap-dancing the line between utility and row-crop? Feels redundant to say 'Absolutely' again. Did Anne beat Sam up for a significant portion of their childhood? For the sake of not saying 'Absolutely" again, we'll just say 'Yes.'    Order yourself the coffee that fuels our podcast!

Since the start of Dan Miller's career in ag journalism, the pace and scale of news has only increased. His first gig in the biz, as the very first writer for the old Iowa Farmer Today paper, introduced him to current and future Presidents, to farmers from across the country, and sent him on reporting missions around the world, including to the former Soviet Union.For just a little while long, we know Dan as the Senior Machinery Editor at DTN Progressive Farmer, but as he heads off into retirement, he joins us for one last conversation about his career as an ag journalist, what he's noticed in more than four decades of watching the ag industry change, and what he thinks might lie ahead.Today, we'll reminisce about Dan's early career, how he learned to cover agriculture after starting out in small town journalism covering courts and crime, and hear what it was like to be there to witness history being made first hand.He'll then look forward to what he sees as the future of farm machinery and the future of agriculture more generally, and shares the best advice he's learned about farm reporting, and why he thinks this work will remain relevant into the uncertain future.

This episode starts with a penis fetish... and ends with me accidentally pitching a brand-new podcast.

Okay, think about the last tomato you ate. Not a good one. A regular one — grocery store, middle of winter, pale on the inside, kind of mealy. Doesn't really taste like anything. That tomato traveled further than most people go on vacation. Picked green, somewhere warm, weeks before you saw it. Put in a room and gassed with ethylene so it would turn red on schedule, because red is what we reach for. And it was bred — over decades, deliberately — not to taste good but to survive the truck. And the part that got me, when I first started paying attention to this stuff, is that nobody exactly chose that. There's no villain. It's just what you get when the whole system is built to move food cheap and far, and the person actually growing it has the least say of anyone in the chain. That's the world Tate Chamberlin wanted to spend some time in. So he sat down with four people who've each, in their own way, made food their life's work — Katie Stebbins, Tim West, Paola DealMeida, and Sanah Baig. They get into the stuff you'd expect. How you even fall into food activism in the first place — for most of them it started small, learning to cook, getting curious about where the thing on the plate actually came from. Food safety. The tomato supply chain, which is somehow more insane the closer you look. Why a small farmer basically cannot win against processing and subsidies, no matter how good they are at farming. But the part I keep thinking about came later, when the conversation turned to the Farm Bill. Because most people hear "Farm Bill" and picture, you know, corn. Tractors. It's not that. It's school lunches. It's SNAP. It's the thing quietly deciding whether a kid eats. One of them makes the case that we've been calling it the wrong name this whole time — that it's really a community bill, and we should start treating it like one. So that's today. How food got personal for these four, and what it would actually take to keep the local stuff alive. Pull up a chair.

Tractors are smarter than you think. John Deere, the nearly 200-year-old company, is combining sensors, data, and machine learning in highly advanced vehicles and software to reinvent how the world grows food. On this Pioneers of AI episode, John Deere CTO Jahmy Hindman breaks down how AI is making farms faster, smarter, and more sustainable.

I know I used to have one, but it's disappeared, along with the cause it celebrated—one of those old black-mesh American Agriculture ball caps. I thought about it this week as I was working up, for a historical journal, a little piece about the American Agriculture Movement and its Washington tractorcade of 1979. It always makes me feel a little queer when someone calls on me to treat events that I remember personally as history. Oh well, I did it.

Bring in those OUTSIDE ITEMS! Tractors, haying equipment, harvest-related items, etc.

The Farm Safety Partnership Advisory Committee (FSPAC) of the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) is urging farmers across the country to prioritise tractor safety during Tractor Safety Week, which takes place from Monday 25 May. Tractors remain central to farm work but continue to be associated with serious and fatal incidents. In the last 10 years, 38 fatalities involving tractors on farms were recorded, while vehicle-related incidents remain the leading cause of work-related fatalities in the agriculture sector. The campaign will focus on practical steps farmers can take to reduce risks and improve safety when using tractors. For more on this, Derrick Lynch was joined by Andrew Naughton, a suckler farmer in West Clare. Photo (c) Canva.com

The Coffee Club from Wednesday February 25th, 2026.  Guests include Mary Aldrich, Bridgette Readel, Jen Picket and Isaiah Nelson.

The February 20 edition of the AgNet News Hour focused squarely on agricultural automation, return on investment, and whether California is ready to truly support innovation in the field. Hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill broadcast on a drying Friday morning following recent storms, but the real spotlight was on cutting-edge technology unveiled at the 2026 World Ag Expo. The featured guest was Paul Mikesell, founder and CEO of Carbon Robotics, the company behind the LaserWeeder and the newly announced Autonomous Tractor Kit (ATK). Mikesell shared how he built the first version of the laser weeding system in his backyard after years of working with artificial intelligence in Silicon Valley. His goal was simple: apply advanced AI to solve real-world farming problems — specifically herbicide resistance, rising labor costs, and environmental concerns. The LaserWeeder uses AI-powered cameras and high-precision lasers to identify and eliminate weeds without chemicals. According to Mikesell, growers are seeing up to 80 percent savings on weed control while improving crop health and market timing. The key, he emphasized, is ROI. Farmers want automation to pay for itself in one to three years — not five or ten. That financial reality has shaped Carbon Robotics' business model and rapid global expansion into 15 countries. Beyond weed control, the company introduced Carbon ATK, an autonomous tractor kit that can convert existing tractors into self-driving units. Unlike other autonomous systems that shut down when encountering unexpected obstacles, Carbon's system allows remote operators to take control instantly, ensuring full workdays in the field. The technology is designed to handle tillage, spraying, and other field operations with real-time AI oversight. But the conversation also highlighted regulatory challenges in California. While self-driving vehicles operate on public streets in San Francisco, autonomous tractors face gray areas under state labor and safety regulations. Mikesell called for clearer policies that allow farmers to adopt the best tools available without unnecessary roadblocks. Papagni and McGill underscored the broader takeaway: automation must make financial sense for growers. With labor costs high and margins tight, farmers cannot afford technology that doesn't deliver quick, measurable returns. As AI continues to evolve rapidly, adaptability and affordability will determine which companies succeed. The episode closed with a call for common-sense leadership and stronger support for agriculture in California. As automation advances, the question remains — will policy keep pace with innovation?

In this episode of the Farm4Profit Podcast, we sit down with Tom Corcoran, better known online as Farming Sumbitch, a first-generation farmer from rural western New York who has built something truly special — both online and in real life.Tom shares the story behind the SUMBITCH Tractor Show (Some Unique Machines Brought In To Commemorate History), an annual August event hosted on his family's farm that now draws visitors from across the U.S. — and even internationally. What began in 2018 as a small idea has grown into a show featuring 150+ tractors, tractor rides, hay rides, live music, food, and a mission much bigger than machinery.The show raises money to support the fight against Alzheimer's disease, a cause close to Tom's heart after his father-in-law battled the disease. In 2024 alone, the event raised over $40,000, proving that agriculture still has the power to bring people together for something bigger than itself.We also dive into:Tom's journey as a first-generation farmer, starting independently in 2010What it's really like farming corn, wheat, rye, black beans, and pumpkins in New YorkWhy old iron still matters — including shelling corn with a 3-row picker and running classic John Deere equipmentThe growth of his “The Way We Farm” YouTube channel and why showing real farming still resonatesHow social media helped connect a small farm to a global audienceWhy preserving ag history matters just as much as adopting new technologyThis episode is about more than tractors.
