Reach out: fillius at iastate.edu or sarah.janesugoretz at wisc.edu In this episode, hosts Dan Fillius and Sarah Janes Ugoretz reflect on the first season of conversations with vegetable farmers about big changes.  Key themes include: Redefining success Recognizing that change requires courage (and shouldn't be seen as failure) And challenging the unhealthy cultural expectation that farmers must sacrifice their physical and mental health to be "real" farmers. The hosts emphasize how making strategic pivots can lead to more joy, better work-life balance, and opportunities to pursue other passions.
