    Friggin’ Farm & Ranch Report – Drought, Fertilizer & Florida Cattle Drive (March 13, 2026)

    Today on the Friggin’ Farm & Ranch Report, we sort through a busy week for working cow folks. Cattle futures took a hit even as boxed beef stayed strong, fertilizer prices jumped on the Iran conflict and a choked‑off Strait of Hormuz, and neutral ENSO plus lousy Colorado snowpack keep the Plains drought picture plenty squirrelly. We walk through what that combo means for hay, feed costs, spring planting decisions, and the slow, cautious cow‑calf rebuild. Then we lighten it up with a ride along on the 2026 Great Florida Cattle Drive—a 40‑plus mile heritage push across multiple ranches that’s keeping cracker cowboy culture alive while development chews up pasture.​ Pull up a chair and pour some coffee—this one’s about tightening up risk without losing the joy of the job.

    Friggin Farm Ranch Report 3-12-26

    Beneath the stars so bright… you know the song. It’s the Friggin’ Farm & Ranch Report for March 12, 2026, and today we’re doing it a little better than yesterday. We start with the numbers off National Beef Wire – live cattle, feeders, hogs, corn, beans, and wheat – and talk about what it really means when the board’s bouncing but the cash index is soft and your inputs are stupid high. From there we dig into what’s driving the crazy: Iran and the Strait of Hormuz turning NOLA urea into a roller coaster Fertilizer up 30–40%, acres shifting out of corn, guys getting “no-bid” on nitrogen War, fuel, and the Fed setting up the next round of food inflation Farm Bill 2.0 crawling through DC while 56 farm groups use the phrase “existential threat” with a straight face New World screwworm at the southern border, Mexican cattle shut off, and what that means for feeder supply We wrap with a bittersweet Montana story: a ranch family sitting on a ~$21 million place that could’ve gone to developers or hedge‑fund money… and instead they just give it away so it stays a working ranch. What do you do when the next buyer isn’t a neighbor in a feed‑up pickup, it’s Wall Street? If you’re seeing any of this on the ground – goofy fertilizer quotes, weird local cash, border fallout, or big money buying up ranches in your country – I want to hear about it.

    The Friggin' Farm & Ranch Report 3-11-26

    The Friggin Farm & Ranch Report is back. In this episode, Matt breaks down the cattle markets, grain and fertilizer shock from the Iran conflict, the latest dicamba ruling, and the devastating wildfires in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. We talk fed cattle near $240 live, feeder indices in the mid‑$360s, corn in the mid‑$4s, beans in the upper‑$11s, and how higher nitrogen, fuel, and interest rates squeeze ranchers even with strong prices. Matt also digs into Strait of Hormuz shipping risk, global urea trade, and why fertilizer and freight costs matter just as much as futures quotes for working cowboys in flyover country. Closing out, we cover wildfire cattle losses, hay over $250/ton, disaster programs, and why fire, drought, regulations, and war all stack up on real farm and ranch families.

    12 Day War Part 2: Petroleum Boogaloo | Death of Fun

    I’ve got Aaron back in the Death of Fun studio and we’re trying to laugh our way through a twelve‑day war, Trump lighting up Iran, the U.S. literally stealing Maduro out of his own house, cartel chaos, and everyone on TV lying to our faces. The only way we can deal with it is to crack jokes and talk shit. We get into how mainstream news is completely cooked, why I don’t trust a single cable channel, and how I’m watching Al Jazeera just to dodge American propaganda. We talk mystery “super‑weapons,” casualty numbers we’re not getting, Iran’s “die for this” mindset, Israel bombing half the map, and Lindsey Graham acting like Mossad’s most enthusiastic fanboy. Then we pivot hard into the Epstein files and Bill Clinton’s testimony, roast rich‑guy “massage on every jet” culture, wonder where the pedophile line actually starts, and binge Bill’s deposition like it’s the best SNL sketch that never aired. I freely admit I’m not rich enough to know if every billionaire flight comes with a back rub, I’m definitely not suicidal, and I might actually buy a “probably on the Epstein list” shirt just to see who twitches. If dark humor, bad language, and two blue‑collar idiots stress‑laughing at the end of the empire is your thing, you’re in the right place. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Spoiler Season | Burnin’ Daylight Sports

    It’s spoiler season in MLB, and the A’s are leading the charge after knocking Boston down a peg at Fenway. In this episode, Matt dives deep into the late-season playoff picture and all the chaos across baseball, college football, and the NFL. Baseball: A’s and Angels playing spoiler — Oakland sweeps the Reds, takes a series off Boston, while the Angels quietly keep ruining contenders’ weekends. Royals’ offense goes ice cold — why Salvador Perez’s big year is being wasted. AL playoff picture: Yankees, Blue Jays, Astros, and Mariners fighting for spots, while Cleveland lurks right behind. Blue Jays’ consistency and underrated stars like Alejandro Kirk and Bo Bichette. Cal Raleigh’s historic switch-hitting season, Judge’s MVP-level tear, and Schwarber’s quiet 50+ homer year. NL playoff race: Brewers in control, Phillies cruising, Padres chasing the Dodgers, Cubs falling apart, Mets completely imploding, and why the Reds and Diamondbacks are still alive. Dodgers facing a gauntlet, Padres have an opening, and Arizona’s constant shuttle with the Reno Aces. Key series: Astros vs. Mariners, Reds vs. Cubs, Dodgers vs. Giants — all playoff-shaping. College Football: Top 25 breakdown: Ohio State and Penn State looking dominant, LSU maybe overrated, Miami making a statement against USF, Georgia proving itself in a comeback win over Tennessee. Florida State is back — Alabama comparison, Miami vs. FSU could decide the ACC. Illinois and Indiana battling to prove they belong in the playoff conversation. Oregon’s potential to finally get over the hump, USC shaky, and why Clemson is falling fast. Vanderbilt’s surprise rise behind Diego Pavia, Georgia Tech emerging as a dark horse, and why Mississippi State might be better than expected. Big games this week: Texas Tech–Utah, Auburn–Oklahoma, Ole Miss–Tulane. NFL: Broncos frustrations — Sean Payton refusing to run the ball, Bo Nix needs balance to succeed. Chiefs at 0–2 and why Matt hopes they keep losing. Chargers looking sharp but always a threat to “Charger” their season away. Raiders, Lions, and why the AFC West is still the best division in football. Injury talk: Achilles and ACL tears piling up, how turf and modern training styles are fueling the problem. Another week where baseball gets chaotic, college football heats up, and the NFL gives us plenty to yell about.
