Dig in with Ag’s Most Okayest Farm Girls on the next episode of Dirt Diaries

FarmHER Annaliese Wegner joined us to dish about her episode of Dirt Diaries, talk about her own podcast, and other exciting moments ahead for Ag’s Most Okayest Farm Girls.

ETTRICK, Wisc. (RFD-TV) — Life on the farm can sometimes feel isolating, but a new podcast is helping rural women find laughter and connection amid the challenges of agricultural life. Ag’s Most Okayest Farm Girls is a show created by Annaliese Wegner and Courtney Feigl, two farm women who wanted to bring humor and honesty to conversations about the realities of rural living.

Wegner and Feigl are featured in this episode of Dirt Diaries, out today, where they open up about their personal journeys and the inspiration behind their podcast.

Annaliese joined us on Thursday’s Market Day Report to talk about their podcast, the experience working with Kirbe on Dirt Diaries, and other exciting things they have planned.

Wegner, who has spent years working in the dairy industry (and was featured on FarmHER Season 6!) and as an ag advocate on social media, says the idea for their podcast came from a desire to build community among women who often feel alone in their day-to-day struggles.

In her interview with RFD-TV News, Wegner explained that their mission is simple: to remind rural women that they’re not alone and that finding joy and friendship in farm life is more than okay — it’s essential.

Since launching, the podcast has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from listeners who appreciate its mix of humor, authenticity, and shared experiences. The duo is also planning a special event in January designed to connect like-minded women in agriculture through networking, workshops, and storytelling.
