In this episode of Grow Getters, a podcast showcasing agriculture’s most inventive side hustles, host Davis Michaelsen interviews Nebraska farmer Joe Knobbe. When he’s not feeding cattle or raising corn and soybeans, Joe is distilling Flyover Whiskey, a unique side business he started a few years ago. Farmers send him 20 pounds of their corn and he makes and bottles small batches of whiskey for them from the corn, even creating customized labels. He’s already sold nearly 3,500 batches!

Grow Getters takes a lively look at creative ways farmers are plugging into their passions and sometimes exploring new technologies to add revenue to their operations. In agriculture’s challenging economic climate, these resourceful “grow getters” are redefining what it means to be a farmer. Mixing fascinating stories with lots of humor and even some music from Davis, Grow Getters is truly an original in the world of Ag media.
