The podcast had a birthday! In honor of the milestone, we are posting a revised edition of a fan-favorite from Season 1, Episode 5: Fried Eggs - Starfire GPS History. There have been some updates to the Starfire GPS line since it was posted, so we thought it was worthwhile to add another chapter to the episode. We have some big plans for Season 2 of Everything Ag & Then Some, hopefully you'll join us on the ride!

Sam, Chris & Dale sit down again with Zach Johnson, otherwise known as the Millennial Farmer, to talk about all the goings on at Commodity Classic, the John Deere model year '25 product launch, how many bag phones Chris has owned, how social media farming has changed agriculture, why Duck Duck Gray Duck is better than the goose game, and how Zach deals with hackers.
