While in Camrose, AB, CA for the Holistic Management Canada 2020 conference I sat down with Steve Kenyon and talked about the discipline of lifelong learning. One thing that became abundantly clear at the conference was that many of the greatest minds in Canadian Holistic Management display a commitment to lifelong learning. Steve is a primary example of this so I asked him to sit down with me and talk about the why and how of his learning.
Today we kick off our series highlighting Missouri agriculture producers and influencers. Caroline Sicht is a farm girl from Ashland, Missouri who has taken her love for telling others about life on her family farm and turned it into a business. Caroline runs TellYourFarmStory.com, a site where she is bridging the gap between producer and consumer. We talk about her journey from a college softball player to working as an advocate for the ag industry. Caroline has become a good friend of the show and we are excited for her new podcast!!
Darrell Oswald, Manager of the Menoken Farm, joined me to discuss how they are approaching improving soil health at Menoken Farm. We talk about the Five Pillars of Soil Health as well as the upcoming Farming and Ranching for the Bottom Line conference.
Cynthia Martel is an extension agent with the Virginia Cooperative Extension who is taking her recent training to the farmers she serves. We talk to her about her different roles around the country from New England to the Midwest to finally settling in Virginia. One thing that is common is we are all facing struggles everywhere. You can connect with Cynthia at cmartel@vt.edu. Stay tuned to the end of the show to find out an event where I will be speaking at the end of the month.
