Buffalo Mentality: Facing Storms Head-On
We believe the farm's greatest asset is the farmer – their knowledge, experience, mind, and health.
• Springtime on the farm means planting crops and loading fat cattle in Southeast Iowa
• Unexpected challenges are inevitable on the farm – from equipment breakdowns to cattle escaping
• When faced with problems, most people initially react instead of respond
• Moving from "why is this happening to me?" to "what am I learning from this?" shifts your perspective
• The faster you can stop ruminating on problems and start seeking solutions, the better
• Having a supportive partner or friend who can help pull you out of negative thought patterns is crucial
• We're building a community specifically for agricultural families to provide support and growth opportunities
• Face challenges like a buffalo – head-on into the storm – rather than avoiding them
