The McBee Dynasty's Steven "Steve" McBee Sr. took a step back from the Bravo series during season 2, later revealing his FBI investigation was to blame. As a result, his sons, Steven McBee Jr., Jesse McBee, Cole McBee and Brayden McBee, took over his responsibilities on their family farm in Missouri and also helmed their reality show. Prior to the season 2 premiere in June, Steve pleaded guilty to one count of federal crop insurance fraud in November 2024. He admitted to falsifying reports about his crop yields in 2018.
