    Mike Pearson’s name is well-known in agricultural media, but his journey to becoming one of the most recognized voices in farm broadcasting was anything but easy. In this episode of Patio Pondering, Mike opens up about the weight of legacy—stepping into his father Mark Pearson’s role at Market to Market after his sudden passing, then later taking on another iconic position at U.S. Farm Report.

    Beyond the headlines and the camera lights, Mike shares the deeply personal side of his story—his struggles with alcoholism, how it impacted his career, and the turning points that helped him rebuild. This isn’t just a conversation about farm broadcasting; it’s about resilience, redemption, and finding one’s own voice in an industry that never stops moving.

    An honest and powerful discussion about pressure, expectations, and the lessons that agriculture teaches us about perseverance.
