  • Welcome to Barn Talk! In this episode, we're thrilled to have Steven McBee in the barn, sharing tales from football fields to farm fields. Steven’s not your ordinary farmer; he’s hunting big game in business and on land, saving cash and cutting through the conventional farming noise. He’s all about building empires, not just barns, and he’s ready to dish on how he’s planting the seeds for success in agribusiness and beyond. We'll get his take on wealth, work-life balance, and the tight-knit tapestry of the McBee legacy. Expect to hear raw insights on transitioning from sports to steering a farming dynasty, all without losing sight of what truly counts. Huddle up, folks-it's going to be a barn burner of a show with Steven McBee, where the wisdom is as rich as the soil. Let’s dig in!

    As a farmer my self I envy those massive farms but they are truly bringing down the smaller family farms. Every aspect of their operation is cheeper compared to smaller farms in the area. Companies will lower their prices as much as they can to sell them seed, fertilizer, chemicals and equipment but turn around and charge the smaller farms full price. These massive farms save 10-150 bucks??? (Who knows)an acre in inputs and you do the math. They have extra money to pay more for rent and gain ground from smaller farms that just don’t have the budget to pay extra in rent.
    However it’s truly impressive to keep track of 40k acres of crops! Kudos to these guys for following their dream.

      Over 90% of "corporate" farms are family run operations that are "Inc" or "LLC" for liability, taxes, and succession reasons. Even smaller scale farms use those tools for the same reasons. "Incorporated" doesn't mean a big company owns the farm, it just means the farm has shareholders that may include people that aren't actively involved in the farm. Perhaps retired parents or children that have left the operation.

    Reminds me of guy in Michigan who farmed 80k acres and had all the fancy equipment and grain setup you could only dream of. He had 20 separate businesses and after grain prices got bad and he was getting sued by the bank for $150 million and then we found out that him and his wife were cooking the books and lying to the IRS, banks, and the federal crop insurance about everything. It went on from 2012-2021

    I’m not really sure if you are aware of this, but the same reason you are feeding more corn than you produce in your county is because you produce higher quality feed, it requires less fortification to meet the nutritional needs of livestock’. That saves money! The reason you produce better feed stocks, is due to a significant portion of the fertility comes from the livestock the feed is supplying.
    Another point I’d like to make. We’re being out farmed by South America. Once they develop the infrastructure to get the product out to the open market, we’re dead.
    The key is educating consumers. Every dollar they save on food, is directly offset by other costs, like health care, medical bills, local taxes. The security of local is huge too. Short supply chains being the main focus. It’s a blended approach, because it is important to keep channels open for long distance trade that can be ramped up in times of need. At times, you are going to be exporting more than you are consuming locally to offset shortages in other areas when they experience drought, floods, etc…, but there is no need to do so when it is not needed.
    You are talking about hiring. Sir, I don’t hire people, I bring on partners who will work shoulder to shoulder with my children and yet to be born grandchildren, and who will have an equal intergenerational stake in the enterprise. I don’t bring you on as a partner. I’m inviting your kids. I’m inviting the farm families whose kids who stand in snow up to their chins waiting for the bus, who can throw around small square bales, who aren’t whinny and looking at their screens and complaining all the time.

    For everyone wanting some more backstory on the farm, found this from a press release/article related to the new show on the Progressive Farmer website:
    "McBee fell deeply in love with Calah Jackson and their love story continues in the newest reality show, "The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys," which takes viewers behind the scenes of the high-stakes world of farming and ranching in McBee's hometown of Gallatin, Missouri.
    The show centers around the patriarch of the family, Steve McBee, a first-generation farmer who founded McBee Farm and Cattle in 1998 with farming operations started in 2005. But his lifestyle may be its undoing as his four sons navigate the family business, conflict and a decision from a venture capital firm to invest $100 million in transforming the ranch into a billion-dollar business."

      I live in Illinois, I know a Guy who has a Massive Dream Farm, where EVERYTHING is Purchased New, Owns & Operates 13,000 Acres (doesn’t Rent but 5 Acres) within 40 Miles of St. Louis and he has Well Over $100+ Million Invested. He also has some Development & Real Estate Holdings.
      Also can’t forget Dowson Farms which are about 1 Hour North of me (not far from the I55 Pileup) they Farm 100,000 Acres in IL, but they are Multiple Generation Operation, not a First Generation Farm.
      There are a Few Other Farming Operations Local to me in the 20,-30,000 Acre Range and they all Start with Money from Multiple Other Business’s, such as one Family Owns Grain Elevator’s, Fertilizer Terminal, CO-OP, Propane Business, & Banks.
      I also know that if you don’t OWN Every Acre that you Farm when you are that Big, you are the Highest Land Rent Payer in a Multi County Region!
      But Hey, all we heard about was Car Wash’s, Reality TV, Diets & Getting JACKED with 220+ Gram of Protein Diets (which what they didn’t say was that the Body can only process 30 Grams of Protien per Meal/Session.
