Episode Description: After a few tough years farming in the 1980s, Randy Koenen found a new career in farm radio. “I do miss farming at some points, but there are a lot of things I don’t miss; I don’t miss the stress,” said Randy. “I was under immense pressure. I couldn’t sleep at night, and I wasn’t eating. Once I made the decision to step away, a big weight was lifted off my shoulders.” For farmers that are struggling, Randy encourages them to consider the many options. “As farmers, we’re builders, we’re electricians, we’re mechanics, we’re truck drivers. As farmers, we have a skill set where we can do just about anything.” Randy shares his story in this edition of TransFARMation.
