I'm writing this from rural Minnesota, where shuttered elevators cast long shadows, and Main Streets feel more like ghost towns every day.

Out here, we're losing more than businesses—we're losing our people to depression, to suicide, to a system that feels designed to grind us down.

But here's the thing: I've been through bankruptcy, depression, and enough therapy to know that stories can save us. Not the polished, Pinterest-perfect kind, but the raw, honest tales that smell like diesel and taste like dirt.

Here, we're tackling everything from mental health to modern agriculture, bankruptcy to breakthrough moments, all while trying to keep our small farms and communities alive.

Farming Full-Time is where I share the unfiltered truth about:

• The human side of agriculture (spoiler: it's messier than spring planting)

• How we're revolutionizing farming (while the Silicon Valley boys are still figuring out what a tractor is)

• Mental health in agriculture (because crying in the tractor cab is more common than anyone admits)

• The future of farming (hint: it's not all robots and vertical gardens)

Buckle up, folks — here’s your cheat sheet for navigating this glorious mess:

Featured Writing: Big digs, deep dives, and Operation Ground Truth — where we unearth the buried truths of agriculture’s shadowy corners. Think of it as the kitchen sink of investigative journalism but with more dirt.

Field Notes: Quick hits from the tractor cab. Observations, rants, and random epiphanies that hit somewhere between fieldwork and the bottom of my coffee cup.

The Revolution: The battle cry for modern agriculture. Fighting for change, spotlighting what’s broken, and occasionally throwing verbal haymakers at the status quo.

From the Cab: Where it gets personal. Essays on life, mental health, and finding humor in the chaos. It’s less therapy and more storytelling with a shot of Casamigos.

Consider this your field map — no GPS required.

Fair warning: I swear like a sailor, joke like a freshman, and occasionally make Sound Agriculture's board members apologize for my language. But I also write from the heart about soil health, community survival, and finding purpose beyond the profit margins.
