Rebecca Sip shares about the challenges she’s faced navigating a gradual generational transition of their family farm, the importance of continual learning and the role of humility each and every day.
In 2022, Dalton Dilldine bought a shuttered commercial grain facility and outfitted it with monitoring and automation technologies. This past year, he's been taking a hard look at spray drones and how they can fit across his acres.
Since Lance Dobson's return to the family farm, he's added cattle, cereal rye for forage and a seed dealership. "Whether it’s exercising or farming, hopefully diversification in our day will yield results that improve our longevity," he says.
In addition to traditional row crops and cattle, Lindsay Baneck operates a direct-to-consumer produce business. These days, her goals are geared toward success and sustainability.
After years of letting negativity and discouragement hold him back from full-time farming, Matt Adams, a first-generation farmer, decided to take a leap of faith.
