Meet the Sawyers

These fourth-generation grain farmers are no strangers to hard work, all year round. In the season two premiere of Real Farm Lives, the Sawyer family talks about racing against Mother Nature to get their crops planted and ensure a successful harvest.

Matt Sawyer teams up with an agronomist to keep the farm’s malt barley crop – a key ingredient for making beer – as healthy as possible. Meanwhile, Tara Sawyer steps up so that each day can go off without a hitch, handling everything from parts runs to moving equipment. Managers, marketers, sprayers, fixers – this family does it all.
