Episode Description:
Farming and ranching can be overwhelming at times. That’s why Minnesota, along with other states, have a Farm Advocate program to help farmers maneuver through the current farm economy. “It’s going to be okay, we’re going to figure out what we need to do,” says Steve Zenk, farm advocate. “In some situations you might not be able to do what you’re doing now, but we should be able to move you forward somehow.” Zenk encourages farmers to be proactive. “Get on top of this, don’t wait.” That may mean having a frank conversation with your lender. “If you’re going to be short, communication is important. Just go in and have a visit.” Hear more from Zenk in this edition of TransFARMation.
