Lucky 13: SharkFarmer Returns with a New Season Full of Feel-Good Stories from Across Rural America

Rob and Emily Sharkey discuss new episodes, finding guests and what keeps the show going.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (RFD News) — SharkFarmer continues to bring viewers a mix of farm facts and laughs every Tuesday night on RFD-TV.

Rob and Emily Sharkey joined Monday’s Market Day Report for an update before heading to downtown Nashville for another Man on the Street segment.

During their conversation with RFD News, the Sharkeys discussed what viewers can expect from Season 13 and how they find guests from across the agricultural supply chain.

“We visit people that are using horses and rural settings to help kids with autism, people that are trying to bring grocery stores to small communities, mental health to small communities. A lot of different things,” Rob Sharkey said.

Emily Sharkey said the new season features a variety of people and stories from rural America.

“We even have a gentleman on there this time that uses old farm tools and parts off of semis and tractors and welds them together to make lawn art. He was really neat and had an amazing story.”

In addition, the couple also talked about what keeps them motivated to continue producing content and what they are most looking forward to this season.
