Hay Bales and Life Tales: Dad Edition
Jesse and Leah reflect on the invaluable lessons learned from their fathers that have shaped who they are as farmers and as people. Despite being busy with hay baling during Father's Day weekend, they take time to honor the wisdom that's been passed down through generations on their family farms.
• Hard work as a foundational value that both sets of parents instilled in them
• Finding balance between dedication and burnout when it comes to farm work
• The wisdom of managing fewer acres excellently rather than many acres poorly
• Putting marriage relationships first as a "sacred union" that withstands farm stresses
• Embracing innovation and new technologies on the farm
• Encouragement to dream bigger and think beyond what's familiar
• The importance of quality over quantity in farming decisions
We'd love to hear what you've learned from your father and how it has shaped your life. Send us a note at farmersgreatestasset@gmail.com and please like and share our podcast on all social platforms.
