‘Sharing my love of agriculture & rural life in hopes that others will fall in love with it just as much as I have over the years’
—
I’m pretty sure I fell in love with my first bottle calf before I knew the words ‘mom’ or ‘dad.’ Agriculture was the life I was blessed to grow up in, but also the life I decided to stay in. Less than 2% of the U.S. population are farmers and ranchers in today’s world, but I am beyond proud to say I am part of that 2%.
I don’t know how it happened, but the typical consumer nowadays is multiple generations removed from agriculture. There’s a huge disconnect between farmers/ranchers and consumers. I’ve made it my mission to share my story in agriculture to bridge the gap — and become a resource for other farmers + ranchers.
In addition to sharing my love of agriculture, I farm with my husband and my family. We grow corn, soybeans and a little alfalfa + have a commercial cow/calf herd and feedlot in the southwest corner of Minnesota. I’m passionate about sharing the ‘real and raw’ on social media + open about my mental health journey with a love of lifting heavy weights to hard rock in my basement. I’m a CPT who creates functional fitness plans for those in agriculture wanting to increase strength, endurance and mobility to make day-to-day life easier!
