Like a Farmer

Miami Dolphins defensive tackle and team captain Zach Sieler returns to the Like A Farmer Podcast for a conversation that perfectly blends football, farming, fatherhood, hunting and the great outdoors. A lot has changed since Zach's first appearance. He's now a father of two, has signed a major extension with the Miami Dolphins, learned how to fly (and bought his own plane), and is building something special away from football on his family's 250-acre property in Missouri.
Zach opens up about why becoming a father changed the way he approaches the NFL and what it means knowing his son and daughter will one day watch how their dad carried himself on the field. He also explains why he wants to be a Miami Dolphin for life, how he's approaching a new era of Dolphins football as a team captain, and why the little details can decide games in today's NFL. Zach details his family's plans to begin raising cattle in Missouri and use their property to give kids hands-on experiences with agriculture, conservation and the outdoors. He shares the philosophy behind the mission "not all classrooms have walls" and why exposing the next generation to farming, fishing, hunting and nature means so much to him.

During Give 'Em the Boot presented by TECOVAS, Zach tackles (see what we did there?) some great questions, including his dream hunt, which NFL quarterback he enjoys sacking the most, which Dolphins teammate he'd trust to babysit his kids, and his Mount Rushmore of NFL defensive linemen. And yes, our guy Josh Allen comes up.

Football. Fatherhood. Flying. Farming. Hunting. And a whole lot of Miami Dolphins stories. This is Zach Sieler on Like A Farmer.

The 2026 Farmin’ & Football Tour makes its final stop in Columbia, Missouri 🐯🏈

The Like A Farmer crew go all-access with Mizzou Football for a behind-the-scenes look at a program entering the season with something to prove.
Head coach Eliah Drinkwitz is mic’d up at practice before sitting down with Pat to talk about Mizzou’s expectations, adapting to the constantly changing landscape of college football, building around a new quarterback and offensive coordinator, and why the connection between farming and football runs so deep throughout Missouri.

New Mizzou quarterback Austin Simmons joins the show to discuss transferring from Ole Miss, overcoming adversity, his baseball background, and why he believes Columbia is the right place for his next chapter.

Missouri native Langden Kitchen takes us back to his small-town and farming roots, from mowing yards at 11 years old and stacking hay to making the jump from Division II football to the SEC and playing for the program he grew up watching.

Plus, Ol’ Bart fires up the Mill Scale and feeds the Tigers as we wrap up our first Farmin’ & Football Tour.

Tough. Physical. Something to prove. This is Farmin’ & Football: Mizzou.

The 2026 Farmin’ & Football Tour kicks off in Lincoln, Nebraska!

Pat Spinosa and the Like A Farmer crew go behind the scenes with Matt Rhule and the Nebraska Cornhuskers for an all-access look at one of college football’s most storied programs. Coach Rhule sits down with Pat to talk about why farming represents the hard work America was built on, building genuine connection in today’s college football, adapting to NIL and the transfer portal, and why Year 4 at Nebraska is about taking the next step: “Now it’s time to go win.”

Pat also catches up with Nebraska defensive linemen Cameron Lenhardt and Riley Van Poppel to talk about their journeys to Lincoln, overcoming adversity, the culture surrounding Husker football, and what they’ve learned from the hardworking people of Nebraska. And it wouldn’t be Farmin’ & Football without feeding the boys.

Levrack’s Ol’ Bart fires up the Mill Scale smoker right on the Nebraska practice field before serving the Huskers a post-practice feast. From the farm to the football field, this is what Farmin’ & Football is all about: hard work, grit, community, and the people who keep showing up every day.

Welcome to Nebraska 🌽🏈

On a new episode of Ag to Asphalt Presented by FRESH FROM FLORIDA, NASCAR Cup Series driver Ross Chastain is back on the farm to break down a busy stretch of racing and look ahead to the regular-season finale at Daytona. Ross starts with Richmond, diving into tire falloff, race strategy and how he leaned on fellow Chevrolet driver Austin Dillon for advice heading into the weekend. Then, it’s on to a frustrating New Hampshire Motor Speedway, where an early engine failure ended Ross’ day much sooner than expected. He explains what went wrong, what he felt inside the car and even how he managed to fall asleep during the rain delay! Then, in an exclusive segment Presented by GEORGIA BOOT, Ross sits down with Ken Pozega, the rear tire changer on the No. 1 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet. Ken takes fans behind the scenes of NASCAR’s pit crew world, his role on race day and what it takes to perform under pressure when every fraction of a second counts. Finally, Ross looks ahead to Daytona and NASCAR’s new rules package for the Cup cars. With a major reduction in rear downforce and plenty of unknowns heading into the weekend, Ross explains why teams may be making some serious adjustments once the green flag drops.
