Halstad, Minnesota farmer Rachel Arneson will take over operations on her family farm fully in 2024, but that path was not always the vision. It wasn’t until after earning a master’s degree in anthropology that Arneson returned to the farm to work with her dad. Since then, she has become involved in community, agriculture, and grower organizations while focusing on her main priority. “I value being a role model for my own daughter and showing her how she can have the same voice in whatever career she should choose. She can be empowered in those career choices as well,” said Arneson. She has also had to learn when it’s important to find balance. “The world will continue to revolve if you have to step back from the table. You know, it’s all it’s all going to work out.” Check out the full interview with Rachel Arneson here.
