Quote from a recent podcast “heard many times ‘you don’t have to farm how your grandfather did’. But I heard recently the other half of the quote ‘but you shouldn’t forget why your grandfather did what he did’.”
This strikes a cord with me. Not because I am part of a multigenerational farm family. But because I see the lack of knowledge passed on because we miss out on generational living.
Additionally, it is well documented that farming is a tough business and the level of debts burdening farmers is truly astounding.
I wonder how much of this is a direct result of the missing generational knowledge that has been lost over the recent few generations?
