Description

“Some years you're going to make more money than other years and I think as long as you don't outpace your budget, then you'll end up being just fine.” Meet Brenna Beard, a beginning farmer who's building her operation while working full-time in ag sales. Starting with just 35 acres of her dad's land, she's doubled her acres and even bought her first piece of ground - all while living 50 minutes from the farm. Her story shows how the next generation is finding creative ways to keep family farms alive, proving you don't need hundreds of acres or fancy equipment to get started in farming. Key Topics: Starting small in farming (35 acres to 75 acres) Managing a full-time career while farming Family farm transition challenges Working with custom operators for equipment needs Trying new farming practices vs traditional methods Purchasing first piece of farmland Balancing time between work and farm Marketing challenges for beginning farmers Future plans for expansion Working with family and clear communication Using vacation time for planting and harvest Preserving 200-year family farming legacy Want to follow Brenna's farming journey?
