Ep 81. How to ”get into” farming with Riley Rozendaal Aug 11, 2023

Show notes

Today, to most people "getting into farming" means taking out a $10 million loan and farming corn and beans. But our guest today proved that just isn't the case.

Fellow prairie-lover, dermestid beetle owner, bison rancher, and entrepreneur Riley Rozendaal walks us through how with some hard work, out-of-the-box thinking, and humility anyone can become a farmer. No more excuses.
