One word. "McArthur." A song by Tim McGraw, Eric Church, Hardy, and Morgan Wallen. It's been topping the charts for all of 2026. We've all heard it and felt the lyrics. The song relates to everyone a little differently in the ag world. It depends on what chapter of life you're in. Are you a John, a Jones, or a Hunter McArthur? Maybe you're the matriarch behind it all, never mentioned in the song, but still feeling the pain behind every word sang.

I think the song hits so hard because it's the question behind every ag family that no one says out loud. "When you pass on, what you gonna pass down?" OK, sure. You have a will. Maybe you've got a trust lined up for the ground. But have you talked about it with those whom it will affect?
