Episode Description:
The Red River Farm Network is partnering with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture on a new radio and podcast series called TransFARMation. In the inaugural episode, Little Falls, Minnesota dairy farmer Brenda Rudolph shares her story about transitioning the family business. “Every farm transition is different, but the biggest thing is the struggle of being open and communication on the plan.” As a couple, Brenda and her husband, Nathan, have a quarterly business meeting. “We treat it very professional. We need to communicate and so we created a set time for a meeting and it is not just by the bulk tank talking, this is business time.” In addition to this podcast, Brenda’s thoughts can be found on her blog, Twitter and Facebook.
