    The Grand Drive Meets The Showmom Code

    This week on The Grand Drive Podcast, we teamed up with The Showmom Code for a conversation rooted in the show pig world and the people who make it what it is.

From management styles to seasonal challenges, this episode highlights what’s unique and what’s universal across state lines. We also pull back the curtain on how both podcasts got started, the passion behind sharing agriculture stories, and why community matters so much in the livestock industry.
