  • This podcast is almost like taking a road trip across North America to visit farms and food businesses. You meet lots of interesting and innovative people who are shaping the future of agriculture. There are lots extra stops along the way, like a World War I museum and a trip to a pair of remote islands near Vancouver. It is produced by John Deere, but it is not made to feel like an advertisement. Well worth a listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Agriculture Shaped the American Identity | Neil Dahlstrom on Farming, Culture & History
Q: How has technology changed the way we view farmers, and why does it sometimes complicate the simple life narrative?
Technology has made farming seem either easier or more complicated; while advances like autonomous tractors promise convenience, the real-world complexity and diverse needs of different operations mean adoption is gradual and context-specific, which complicates the romantic image.
Jim Whitaker on Stewardship
Q: Where does the Whitaker commitment to sustainability come from?
The commitment traces back to Whitaker's family farm roots, navigating economic hardship in the 1980s, and realizing early on that sustainable practices align with long-term profitability through saved water, fertilizer, and improved soil health.
Jim Patrico: DIspatches from Farm Country
Q: How did the Peace Corps experience influence your later writing?
It broadened his understanding of cultural differences and the value of seeing people as complete human beings, not just as farmers or workers, which later informed his nuanced portrait of rural communities.
Lesley Kelly on Mental Health for Farmers
Q: How has the industry's conversation around mental health changed since then?
There has been a move from stigma to openness, with more conversations at farm events, boardrooms, and with lenders, acknowledging that vulnerability can coexist with strength.
Lesley Kelly on Mental Health for Farmers
Q: Lesley, tell us a little bit about that turning point from your live stream in 2017 and what it meant for your family and the industry.
The live stream broke the silence on farm stress and suicidality, showing there is community support and resources, which in turn prompted action and the creation of Do More Agriculture Foundation to address mental health across Canada.
