A podcast that tells the story of the farmers, ranchers, cowboys, and cowgirls that make up less than 2% of the American population! Listen to the stories of how some of America’s hardest workers got their start, persevered through the hard times, and how they got to where they are now.

Ep. 6 - Reevaluate, Readjust, Reset
After a two month posting break, it seemed only fitting that the first episode of 2025 was about reassessing, readjusting, and reseting our operations within agriculture.

This will ultimately contribute to the success and continuation of our industry.Don't forget to check out the links to our Facebook and...

Ep. 4 - Remember to be Flexible
The agricultural industry is so reliant on so many things that are outside of our control: the weather, the market, political interactions, and much more. Because of this, things aren't always going to work out exactly as we'd like for them to. So how do we overcome these issues? By being flexible. We have to be open to change, and we have to be able to find new paths when things don't go exactly to plan. As an industry, we are incredibly resourceful and resilient, but we could all ...

Ep. 3 - Finding Resilience In Trials
In the wake of the natural disasters that have hit the United States recently, I believe that it is important to remember how strong the agriculture industry is.

There is no doubt that the recent natural disasters have left our industry and our nation shaken; however, we are capable of rising from these trails and coming out strnger on the other side. We simply must remember to be strong, b...

Ep. 1 - Comparison is the Thief of Joy
This episode shares a message that I believe we all need to be reminded of regularly: Comparison is the Thief of Joy. It is so easy to fall into the trap of constantly comparing ourselves to others, whether consciously or not. This episode dives a little into the ways that our comparisons don't always make sense as well as how to combat comparison.Don't forget to check out the links to our Facebook and Instagram accounts: linktr.ee/americas2percent
