Overview
- The McBee patriarch pleaded guilty in November 2024 and was sentenced on Oct. 16, 2025 to 24 months in prison, two years of supervised release and more than $4 million in restitution for federal crop insurance fraud.
- Cameras were rolling during the sentencing and the show’s producers and family chose to continue filming to document the courtroom arrival, emotional reactions and immediate fallout.
- The family says the legal and financial pressures pushed them away from large-scale row cropping toward ranching, meat production and other ventures as they try to keep the business viable.
- Season 3 also includes personal milestones captured on camera, including Cole McBee’s proposal to Kacie Adkison and the couple’s announced pregnancy, which the family says balance the legal coverage.
- The series premieres Monday, June 15, 2026 on Bravo with next-day streaming on Peacock, giving viewers direct access to the sentencing scenes and the family’s efforts to preserve the farm for the next generation.
