Ag Innovations panel at #WIAS24 question: Why are there so few women involved in ag start-ups? Panelist answer: I think most girls were encouraged to seek safer careers with less risk. She encourages women in start-ups to be mentors.
I loved chatting with the Burkhart family at Commodity Classic and learning about their nonprofit helping families dealing with the extended illness or injury recovery of a loved one.
Very empowering panel of women producers from diverse backgrounds at #WIAS24. Love this quote from a panelist on women supporting women in this industry: "We lift as we climb." YES!!
Excellent breakout session at #WIAS24 moderated by @SuccessfulFarm's Cassidy Walter: Fostering a symbiotic relationship between journalistic and agribusiness firms. She said, "When you learn more, you can ask more interesting questions and write more interesting stories."
Listen to my chat with Cheryl Walsh, president of the Illinois Pork Producers. We talk #prop12, hog ownership, working with visa employees, and estate planning.

Listen to my conversation with Nebraska rancher Rosemary Anderson on this week's 15 Minutes With a Farmer podcast from @SuccessfulFarm. We talk family, industry associations, and artificial insemination. Yep, that's what I said! ๐ฎ ๐โโ๏ธ

It was a real thrill for me to interview @AstroPeggy this morning! More to come on her farm background and amazing career, but our meeting was perfect timing for National 4-H Week, so I had to ask her about her 4-H days! #National4HWeek
I loved getting to know James Butler and the history of his family's century farm, which was founded by emancipated slaves. They have such a rich and interesting story, and I'm honored they trusted me to tell it in @SuccessfulFarm.
