Whether you use them for educational purposes or to have background noise on, podcasts are there to entertain and inform you.
We know that farmers dedicate their whole lives to their work and spend most of their time in the tractor or trying to find the “next best thing” in the agricultural world. This is where podcasts can come in. They are a great tool to have questions answered or to have a new practice implemented.
How do you choose the right one? Do you choose a funny one? Do you choose one that addresses issues impacting the ag industry? Do you choose one that you can learn new tips from?
In celebration of International Podcast Day, we decided to navigate the world of farm podcasts and pick our favorite ones, not ranked in order of importance.
