In this inspiring episode of the BulkLoads Podcast, we sit down with Tork Whisler, one of the founders of the wildly successful Barn Talk podcast. Tork shares the journey of how he and his son Sawyer went from farming in Southeast Iowa to building a nationally recognized podcast that highlights agriculture, rural values, and real conversations. From their humble beginnings to hosting guests like Ron DeSantis, Tork explains how authenticity and consistency fueled their growth in the ag media space.

You’ll learn how Barn Talk’s mission started with the end in mind: to connect with the ag community and support their direct-to-consumer meat brand, Farmer Grade. Tork offers insights on growing a media brand from scratch, using social platforms to tell meaningful stories, and building a legacy through transparency and hard work. Whether you’re in farming, trucking, or entrepreneurship, this episode delivers powerful takeaways on persistence, discipline, and embracing your roots.

Tune in as we talk podcasting, pork, and the power of staying true to your values.
