Matt and Joe are twin brothers who grew up on the farm. After college they felt motivated to do things a little differently while at the same time staying true to the traditions and past generations of their family. Listen while the crew talks about their mission to "put new ideas on old dirt". These folks have their hands in everything on the farm from raising grains, to raising cattle, to distilling their own spirits. They are a true inspiration for the industry and define the American experience of the Midwest Farmer/Rancher.

Common Folk is a podcast hosted by Ben Evers that brings you straight talk from the heartland. This isn't about theory or ivory towers; it's grounded conversation from everyday, hardworking people who see the world through a practical, blue-collar lens. You'll hear a 'common sense' spin on a wide range of topics that matter to people building real lives, from the trials and triumphs of starting a business to the honest realities of raising kids. The discussions also tackle current events, filtering the noise through a perspective often left out of the mainstream. It’s a show for anyone who appreciates authenticity over pretense, where complex issues are broken down with relatable Midwestern candor. Tune into this podcast for a regular dose of down-to-earth dialogue that feels like a conversation with thoughtful neighbors.
