  • Rebuilding Health, Food, and Family Through Homesteading

    Rebuilding Health, Food, and Family Through Homesteading
    2026/04/14
    “Convenience replaced skill, and we stopped noticing what we lost.” In this episode of Farming on Purpose, I sit down with Kody Hanner, founder of The Homestead Education, to talk about what happens when life forces you to rethink everything—your food, your health, and the way your family operates. Kody shares the story of her husband’s end-stage liver disease diagnosis at 33 and the decision that followed—to completely change how they lived in order to fight for his health. What started as a response to a crisis turned into a full shift toward homesteading, whole foods, and rebuilding lost skills. We talk about the reality of what it takes to produce your own food, why so many families feel overwhelmed trying to start, and how small, intentional changes can lead to long-term transformation. Kody also shares how bringing kids into the process builds responsibility, confidence, and a stronger family unit. This episode is a great listen for anyone who has ever felt disconnected from their food, overwhelmed by where to start, or curious about what it actually looks like to build a more self-sufficient lifestyle. Key Topics: The turning point that led to a complete lifestyle shift What it actually takes to produce your own food at home Why convenience has replaced skill in modern life How to start building homesteading skills without overwhelm The role of food in long-term health and healing Teaching kids responsibility through real-life involvement Why knowledge is more valuable than stockpiling supplies The mindset shift required to live more self-sufficiently LINKS Learn more about The Homestead Education: https://www.thehomesteadeducation.com Sign up for the 8-Hour Marketing Plan here!

  • The Safety Net That Became the Steering Wheel

    The Safety Net That Became the Steering Wheel
    2026/03/24
    “Policies built for emergencies rarely stay temporary.” In this solo episode of Farming on Purpose, I continue the conversation about resource allocation in agriculture — but this time through the lens of policy, infrastructure, and the decisions that quietly shaped modern farming. Most farmers today operate within a system that was built long before they ever planted their first crop. Grain elevators, crop insurance programs, futures markets, rail systems, and federal farm programs all grew out of a moment of crisis during the Great Depression. What started as an emergency response to collapsing farm prices eventually became the framework that now guides much of modern agricultural production. In this episode, I walk through how government involvement in agriculture began in the 1930s, how the Agricultural Adjustment Act reshaped production decisions, and how the infrastructure that followed reinforced those choices for generations. This conversation isn’t about criticizing the system — the policies created during that era helped stabilize agriculture and protect the country’s food supply. But it is worth asking how those policies continue influencing the crops we grow, the risks farmers take, and the structure of rural communities today. If you’ve ever wondered why corn and soybeans dominate so much of the agricultural landscape — or why switching crops isn’t nearly as simple as people often assume — this episode helps explain the deeper story behind it. Key Topics Why the U.S. government first intervened in agriculture during the Great Depression How the Agricultural Adjustment Act reshaped crop production and market stability Why Title I commodity crops (corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton, rice, and peanuts) became the backbone of federal policy How infrastructure — grain elevators, rail systems, ethanol plants, and futures markets — reinforced those crops over time The role crop insurance and federal programs play in reducing risk for producers Why diversification is harder today than it was historically How agricultural consolidation has changed rural communities The difference between feeding people directly and supporting global food systems through commodity production Why simply telling farmers to “grow something else” ignores the infrastructurerequiredto support new crops The tension between stability and flexibility in modern agricultural systems Reflection Questions from This Episode This episode closes with questions designed to help producers think more deeply about the systems they operate within: If the system we farm in today was built during a crisisnearly 100years ago, how might that influence the choices we see as “normal”? What risks does our current system reduce — and what kinds of flexibility might it limit? If diversification were possible in your region, what infrastructure would need to exist first? Are our current production systemsoptimizingstability, efficiency, or resilience? What role should policy play in shaping agricultural production in the future? If the goal is both global food reliability and strong rural communities, how might those priorities be balanced? What conversations should agriculture be having now about the next generation of policy and infrastructure?

  • Making Farming and Ranching Accessible for First-Time Landowners

    Making Farming and Ranching Accessible for First-Time Landowners
    2026/03/17
    “People really want the agricultural life. They want to learn how to do it right—they just need someone willing to show them.” In this episode of Farming on Purpose, I sit down with Frank Baggiolini, asset manager and content creator for Outlaw Ranch Care, to talk about a growing shift in rural America: the rise of first-time landowners and the opportunity agriculture has to welcome them. Frank grew up surrounded by agriculture in California, raising registered Polled Herefords through youth projects while his family farmed vegetables in the Salinas Valley. Over the years, his career took him across several corners of the industry—from dairy work and orchard removal to managing equipment operations for large pistachio and almond farms. Today, that experience has come full circle. Through Outlaw Ranch Care and their Country Living Academy, Frank and his partners help new rural landowners learn the practical skills needed to manage their land, care for livestock, operate equipment, and build productive properties. We talk about the reality many new landowners face when they purchase rural property with big dreams but little experience. Frank shares how simple knowledge gaps—from backing a trailer to managing pasture weeds—can quickly become overwhelming without guidance. We also discuss the bigger picture for agriculture. While the rise of small acreage properties can sometimes create tension within traditional ag communities, Frank believes helping new landowners become responsible stewards of the land ultimately strengthens agriculture as a whole. This episode is a great listen for producers, first-time landowners, homesteaders, and anyone thinking about buying rural property and learning how to care for it well. Key Topics Growing up in California agriculture raising Polled Herefords and row crops · How Frank’s career moved through multiple sectors of agriculture · The story behind starting Outlaw Ranch Care · Why many first-time landowners struggle after purchasing rural property · Teaching practical ranch skills through the Country Living Academy · Common mistakes new landowners make when buying tractors and equipment · Documenting the process of building and restoring a small ranch property · The debate around small acreage “ranchettes” and land stewardship · Why helping new landowners succeed can benefit the future of agriculture · How small producers can still contribute to the broader cattle industry LINKS Learn more about Outlaw Ranch Care and the Country Living Academy: https://outlawranchcare.com Listeners of the Farming on Purpose Podcast can also receive a 50% off for the annual membership using the special code FP50.
