Stop managing your farm by your bank account balance and confront the dangerous financial lies holding your operation back. Host Jon Paul Driver breaks down a no-nonsense roadmap for turning your record-keeping into a powerful tool for your family, your spouse, and your lender.

Jon Paul Driver sits down with Scott Courtright of Courtright Enterprises for a brutally honest assessment of the hay export crisis. They move past the surface-level talk to provide the intellectual honesty required to navigate an industry that has effectively wiped out $600 million in equity through inventory write-downs and a historic demand collapse.

From Reckoning to Renewal in Hay Exports, this episode digs into the structural reset underway in global forage markets and what it means for growers, exporters, and rural communities.

Jesse Bounds joins Jon Paul Driver to talk about HayCon 2025 in Las Vegas, the state of the hay export market, and why connection and adaptability matter more than ever.

In this episode of the Hay Kings Podcast, host Jon Paul Driver is joined by logistics veteran Eric Wright of Portland Container. Together, they unpack the rhythm of global container flow, the hidden costs of just-in-time supply chains, and why parts availability matters more than ever for agriculture. From tariff shocks to warehouse trends, this episode gives hay and forage producers a strategic lens for navigating supply volatility.
