Description

When most people think about a family farm, they think of a wooden house in the middle of a field with a few chickens, a couple of cows, and some corn and tomatoes growing. These days, that is more likely a  “hobby farm” since almost all commercially viable farms, including family-run operations, are high tech, sizable, and are extremely productive. They have to be to survive.  On this week’s podcast, you’ll meet a multi-generational farmer who will help us all better understand where our food comes from, the complexity of supply chains, and the challenges of survival as inflation sets in.  Learn Why growers earn just pennies per piece of product (like an onion)  How rising freight costs will affect all our food budgets soon Why it’s impossible to start a family farm from scratch today The scale, scope and future of agribusiness  Links Shay’s Tiktok Owyhee Foods ABOUT OUR GUEST Shay is the CEO of Owyhee family onion business. He’s a farmer, entrepreneur, and content creator sharing with his followers the behind-the-scenes from the USA agricultural business.  Like the Show? Leave us a Review on iTunes
