Barn Talk

In this episode, Sawyer and Tork sit down with Travis and Torsten, the brains behind Livestock, Water, and Energy (LWE), to dive deep into a revolutionary approach to manure management on modern hog farms. If you’ve ever wondered about turning manure into profit, reducing hauling costs, recycling water, or making carbon credits actually work for farmers, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for.Over two years in the making, this conversation sheds light on the cutting-edge technology being implemented to separate manure in real time, transforming waste into dry, pathogen-free fertilizer, creating a new revenue stream with liquid nitrogen, and capturing valuable carbon credits—all without relying on government grants or tax credits. Sawyer and Tork share their own farm’s experience as the test site for LWE’s first agricultural system, revealing the nitty-gritty of what actually works, the value for everyday farmers, and why so many have failed at this before.Whether you’re a livestock producer curious about the future of manure, a skeptic of the carbon credit market, or just interested in how innovation is changing the ag industry from the inside out, this lively and honest episode has you covered. Plus, hear about the challenges, breakthroughs, and the real-life impact on family farms looking to build a more sustainable and profitable future.So pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee, and let’s get into it—because today, everything that happens in the barn is coming out into the open.Use code BARNTALK for 10% OFF your next orderhttps://farmergrade.com/ Learn More About Our New Project👇🏻https://livestockwaterandenergy.com SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST ➱ https://bit.ly/3a7r3nR  SUBSCRIBE TO THIS’LL DO FARM ➱ https://bit.ly/2X8g45c LISTEN ON:SPOTIFY ➱ https://open.spotify.com/show/3icVr4KWq4eUDl7Oy60YMY APPLE ➱ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/barn-talk/id1574395049Follow Behind The Scenes👇🏻● This’ll Do Farm Instagram ➱ https://bit.ly/30KPBNk  ● Barn Talk TikTok ➱ https://bit.ly/3qciekS  ● Sawyer’s Instagram  ➱ https://bit.ly/3BtX0n4  ● Tork’s Instagram ➱ https://bit.ly/3LGZJxS   00:00 "New Frontiers: Beyond Snake Oil"07:06 Wastewater Treatment for Pig Farmers11:20 Carbon Credits: A Controversial Market16:09 Conventional Pig Farming Explained25:30 "Solving Expanding Water Problems"31:46 Reevaluating Manure Management Systems32:47 Benefits of Efficient Manure Processing40:23 Air Filtration Challenges in Sow Units43:07 "Domestic Fertilizer Revitalization"51:03 Optimizing Manure Management Timelines56:28 LWE Contract and Fertilizer Uncertainty01:03:30 Questioning LWE's Business Model01:04:37 Farmer Revenue Share Agreement01:10:01 Net Zero Pork Opportunity01:19:29 Passion Project with Travis01:22:49 "Wife's Grounding Influence"01:26:18 Milestone Moment01:30:41 Gratitude to Key Contributors-------------------------------⚠NO FINANCIAL ADVICE / DISCLAIMER⚠ The Information discussed and shared on Barn Talk is provided for educational, informational, and entertainment purposes only, without any express or implied warranty of any kind, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, or success for any particular purpose.The Information contained in or provided from or through this podcast is not intended to be and does not constitute financial advice, investment advice, trading advice, or any other advice.The Information on this podcast and provided from or through our content is general in nature and is not specific to you, the user or anyone else.
