Tune in as we talk about the crappy side of agriculture, literally. Matt took the time to talk to me right from the tractor while he was working, so if you hear the equipment running in the background, that is what it is!

Thanks for all your support!!

Come over to eastern Washington to learn all about this 19 year old rancher and his passion for what he does. This guy is basically an old timer and you’d be GOOFY to not give this a listen.
We got to interview Braden and Mellissa’s oldest boy, Briggs. This is the future of farming and we love to hear and learn from these kids!
In part two of professional gamblers we get to sit down in Braden Carlquist's living room to discuss some different crops/aspects of farming in Southern Idaho. Braden grows certified wheat seed, beets, hay, and beans. The Carlquist's also work no-till into their operation which is mostly unheard of here in this area. Tune into this episode to learn about more challenges of farming, hear from Braden's wife Melissa on what it's like to be a farm wife, and new things they are planning on trying out.
