Ag's Most Okayest Farm Girls

This is the very first episode in a new series called “Farm Girls Unfiltered”! We’re kicking things off with a special guest who knows Annaliese better than just about anyone: her sister, Mikayla McGee of Jon-De Farm. From growing up on a dairy farm together to raising their own kids, the sisters share hilarious childhood stories, talk about what it's really like working in agriculture, and discus...

This week, we’re sharing the things farm girls just know that everyone else probably should. From canceled holiday plans and surprise calf deliveries to ruined shoes, chipped nails, and learning that "real quick" is never actually real quick on a farm. We break down the realities of rural life that don't always make it into the brochures. Whether you're new to agriculture, married to a farmer, or...

Father's Day is here, and we’re taking a trip down memory lane to celebrate the dads who helped shape us into who we are today. From Todd-isms to wilderness camping adventures, missing truck floorboards, candy cigarettes, and the classic "walk it off" parenting style, we share some of our favorite memories growing up with our larger-than-life dads. We also read listener-submitted dad stories, disc...

This week, we’re tackling a very important question: Is it weird? From making friends with wild animals and eating leftover pasta for breakfast to peeing in the shower, nothing is off limits. We compare quirks, habits, and questionable life choices while deciding whether they're normal, Midwest, rural, or completely feral. We also dive into farm life realities, potatoes and cannibalism, vasectomy...

This week, we’re talking about something a lot of us struggle with: being your own biggest cheerleader. Whether it’s promoting your business, asking for opportunities, pitching yourself to brands, or finally sharing that project you’ve been sitting on for years, sometimes the hardest part is believing in yourself enough to put yourself out there. We talk about why confidence is not arrogance, how...

This week, we’re talking all about raising kids on the farm and surviving the chaos that comes with it. From chore time meltdowns and snack emergencies to balancing naps, cattle work, motherhood, and the constant mental load, we’re getting honest about what this season of life actually looks like. If you’ve ever felt like you’re falling behind at being a mom, wife, farmer, or all three at once, th...

This week, we’re talking about something we tell people to do all the time, but honestly still scares us too: making your voice heard. Whether it’s showing up to a town meeting, talking to elected officials, or speaking up about issues affecting agriculture, it can feel intimidating to put yourself out there. So we brought in someone who actually knows how this stuff works. Lane Ruhland, an attorn...

This week, we’re getting a little fired up because, if we’re being honest, it can be exhausting to constantly defend farming to people who don’t actually farm. We talk about the misinformation that’s out there, why not all farms look the same, and why “old school” farming is not always the answer to feeding today’s world. At the end of the day, we just wish more people truly understood what farmer...

This week’s episode is… a little spicy. We’re diving into what it’s really like being a woman in the workplace, especially in agriculture, and sharing some stories that honestly shouldn’t still be happening in 2026. From being ignored in meetings to straight-up harassment, we’re sharing your submissions and reacting in real time. We get fired up, so hold on! But this isn’t just about venting, it’s...

Go ahead and take a drink every time we say “whimsical” during this episode! We’re leaning all the way into whimsy because, honestly, life is too hard not to. We’re talking about how to bring more fun, creativity, and childlike joy into your everyday life, whether that’s through your space, your routines, or just embracing being a little weird again. From porch geese to fancy drinkware to spontane...

Over-sharers, this one’s for you! This week, we are diving into why saying “too much” might actually be the key to deeper friendships, better conversations, and finding your people faster. From ditching surface-level small talk to embracing the slightly unhinged, we make the case that vulnerability builds connection, even if it occasionally makes things a little weird. It wouldn’t be an episode wi...

This week, we’re kicking things off with a deep (and slightly unhinged) dive into reincarnation, past lives, and whether our souls really do pick our parents. From heartfelt reflections on miscarriage and motherhood to wondering if your dog was your sibling in a past life, the conversation gets surprisingly meaningful while still having the proper feel of a good yap. Of course, it wouldn’t be an e...

The internet is loud these days, but that doesn’t mean your story doesn’t matter! This week, we talk about why people in agriculture still need to show up and share their everyday lives, even when social media feels crowded. We discuss how storytelling builds trust far better than statistics ever could and why simply showing the real day-to-day of farm life can help bridge the growing gap between...

Technology on the farm has come a long way, and this week we are diving into the tools helping farmers work smarter, not harder. From auto-steer tractors and robotic milkers to cow activity trackers and virtual fencing, we talk about how modern technology is making everything more efficient. You’ll also hear firsthand how a company called UpTerra is taking on efficiency and the future of ag. Later...

This week, we are back with unsolicited advice, unfiltered opinions, and a whole lot of family drama. From the best place on the farm for a quickie to navigating awkward holiday gatherings, we dive into listener-submitted confessions and questions. This episode has a lot of laughs but also leans into the tough stuff: retiring parents, messy verbal agreements, farm debt, and the emotional weight of...

As promised, we are back for part two of publicly shaming the people who deserve it. This episode was inspired by listener-submitted bad roommate stories from the last episode, and the gloves are officially off. We kick things off by calling out rude social media commenters, anti-noodle people, and weather one-uppers. If you’ve ever thought, “Why are people like this?” while scrolling, this episod...

This episode starts with cozy home design tips and quickly takes a hard left into absolute roommate chaos! We kick things off by talking about how to make your house feel like you, from adding character to builder-grade homes to lighting, wall treatments, thrifting, and why it’s okay if your space takes time to come together. If you’ve ever wanted to skip straight to the “perfect home” part, this...

This week, we’re stepping into full mastermind mode and walking you through the 7 steps to manifesting your best life. We break down what it really means to get clear on what you want, remove fear and self-doubt, and stop playing small. Using real-life examples from building the podcast, starting a business, and taking big career leaps, we share how vision, mindset, and action work together when y...

It’s the year of the horse! This week, the Farm Girls are back to talk about winter rest, what’s being left behind in 2025, and what’s to come in 2026. You’ll also hear those everyday mishaps that remind you you’re not the only one doing things you just have to laugh about later. Stick around for the parasite cleanse journey, including a story on parenting realities no one warns you about. We’re t...

We’re officially back for Season 3, and this episode is heavier than anything we’ve shared before. We’re opening up about a traumatic farm accident that left Courtney’s husband, Aaron, seriously injured after a tree fell on him while working in the woods. Courtney walks through the terrifying day, from the phone call no one ever wants to receive to the med flight, ICU stay, and long road to recove...

This week, these farm girls are getting real about love and marriage: the good, the messy, and the funny. We're looking back on our early years, how we've grown as partners, and the communication lessons we wish we'd learned sooner. From figuring out love languages to navigating life on the farm to learning not to pick fights when you're hungry, we share honest advice mixed with plenty of relatabl...

This week’s episode is all about community, the real kind that keeps small towns alive and women connected. We talk about why shopping local matters, how supporting the “little guys” keeps everyone afloat, and the simple joy of knowing your barista’s name. From small-town chambers of commerce to light-up parades and women’s giving circles, we dive into what makes rural life so special, and how to...

This one’s a ride! We’re talking true crime, tight lids, and why men might just be the problem (we said what we said). Starting the conversation about the Ed Gein series on Netflix, we dive into the wild world of male-made chaos, from frozen appendages and too-tight peanut butter lids to emotional repression and 45-minute “bathroom breaks.” Don’t worry, we balance the dark with plenty of laughter...

In this week’s episode, we dive into the messy, hilarious, sleep-deprived truth about motherhood. From trampoline regrets and constant “what are we doing tomorrow?” questions to why saying no is sometimes the most loving thing you can do, we get in the trenches in this discussion. You’ll hear advice we wish we’d known sooner: you’ll never sleep again, you don’t have to sign up for every activity,...

Ready for a genuine laugh?! This week, we’re diving into the things nobody talks about: sex, relationships, and how you manage both as a mom. From how parenthood changes sex lives to the chaos of kids walking in at the worst possible moment, we’re keeping it real about what connection looks like after years of marriage, exhaustion, and bedtime battles. Expect plenty of laughs as we overshare our w...
