Logan and Bobby Lee grew up around the same family farming operation near Memphis, Tennessee, but eventually took different paths. Bobby Lee became a second-generation veterinarian and works primarily with dogs and cats while continuing to raise cattle. Logan left the farm for a couple of years to work as a machinist before returning, buying his first farm in 2015 and building a row-crop operation alongside—but separate from—his dad. That independence gave him room to experiment with practices such as cover crops while still working closely with the family operation. talk dirty to me talk dirty to me

Talk Dirt To Me officially started in October 2021 after Logan had already experimented with another podcast. The idea for the name came to him while sitting in a tractor, and after repeatedly pushing Bobby Lee to join him, they started recording episodes at 4:30 in the morning. What began with structured conversations about topics such as renting farmland and getting started in agriculture evolved into a more conversational show built around current events, farming and the chemistry between two cousins who have known each other their entire lives. talk dirty to me talk dirty to me

The guys also compare farming in western Tennessee with Iowa agriculture. They talk about smaller and more scattered fields, highly competitive rented ground, Mississippi River grain markets, cattle production, grain storage, cover crops, fragipan soils and the challenges of moving equipment from farm to farm. The conversation even gets into harvest moisture, grain bags, tillage and why Iowa's black dirt eventually makes its way downstream to Tennessee. talk dirty to me talk dirty to me talk dirty to me

Behind the laughs is a conversation about what it takes to keep creating content for years when there's no guarantee anyone will listen. Logan and Bobby Lee discuss funding much of the show themselves, producing more than 250 episodes, building relationships with partners such as AgZaga and their new partnership with Helena, and resisting the idea that working with sponsors means “selling out.” Their favorite episode remains the one featuring their dads—a reminder that some of the best podcast moments come from simply documenting the people and stories closest to agriculture. The episode closes in true Talk Dirt To Me fashion with pet peeves, slow drivers, farm equipment on public roads and plenty of friendly trash talk. talk dirty to me

Harvest isn't just about measuring what happened this year—it's an opportunity to start planning for the next crop. Dr. Sherder says changing planting dates, cover crops and tillage practices make weed-control planning increasingly important. In soybeans, his message remains consistent: start with multiple effective modes of action in the pre-emerge program, then follow with multiple post products and another residual to keep weeds from gaining a foothold.

Waterhemp is a major reason to think beyond a single season. Saving a few dollars by relying on one mode of action may look attractive today, but surviving weeds can replenish the seedbank and create a more expensive problem for years to come. In corn, Dr. Schroeder recommends the same basic philosophy: identify the primary weed pressure, start strong with multiple effective modes of action and residual activity, and layer the post-emerge program rather than relying on a single pass.

The conversation also addresses the renewed interest in conventional corn. Dr. Schroeder explains that growers still have strong herbicide options without glyphosate, but the system leaves less room for rescue treatments if the initial program fails. He also reminds conventional corn growers to pay attention to insect pressure—particularly European corn borer—because any grain premium can disappear quickly if yield suffers.

Finally, don't let the combine cab become autopilot. Use harvest to scout fields, identify why certain areas underperformed, and document weed escapes or drowned-out areas that could become major problems next season. Dr. Schroeder cautions against completely changing a program based on one unusual year; instead, evaluate whether what you learned holds true across multiple seasons. Start with a good plan, understand why you're making each decision, and be prepared to adjust when conditions throw a curveball.

Cody Holmes grew up on a fifth-generation Idaho potato operation that also raises grain, while building his own career as an entrepreneur and heavy-equipment dealer. After years of dealing with domestic and international payments—and spending more than a decade around cryptocurrency—he saw an opportunity to make stablecoin technology usable for ordinary businesses. The result is Spud Pay, a business payment platform built around Spud USD, a stablecoin designed to maintain a one-to-one relationship with the U.S. dollar. spud coin done spud coin done

The crew spends much of the episode separating stablecoins from cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and meme coins. Cody describes Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as investments whose values can fluctuate significantly, while stablecoins are intended to function more like digital dollars. That distinction becomes important when talking about Spud Pay: the goal isn't to speculate on the value of the currency, but to use blockchain technology to move money faster. Cody shares one example where he transferred $8,000 to a technician in Colombia who also had a Spud Pay account; according to Cody, the stablecoin-to-stablecoin transfer arrived in 14 seconds with no transfer fee. spud coin done spud coin done spud coin done

Spud Pay is designed to make that technology feel more like a traditional business checking and payment platform. Businesses can hold a Spud USD balance, use a Visa card, accept credit and debit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, transfer money to vendors, and connect transactions with accounting software such as QuickBooks. Cody says businesses can also pay recipients who don't have Spud Pay by sending them a link that allows the payment to move into their traditional bank account through ACH. Behind the scenes, the platform uses the Solana blockchain, creating a permanent ledger of transactions while keeping much of the complexity away from the farmer using it. spud coin done spud coin done spud coin done spud coin done

For agriculture, the potential use cases range from paying trucking and fertilizer companies to receiving grain payments and holding crop-sale proceeds until large seasonal bills come due. Cody's argument is that instead of money sitting idle in a traditional business checking account, a stablecoin balance can generate yield while remaining available for business expenses. He also discusses Spud Pay's revenue model, white-label opportunities for larger companies, future lending integrations, and why he chose agriculture as the first market. His reasoning is simple: agriculture still relies heavily on checks and traditional payment systems, and he believes farmers should have access to the same financial technology being adopted elsewhere.
