   Episode 39: From Tradition to Transformation - Women are Redefining Leadership in Ag

   On this episode of Dirt and Bull, we sit down with Alecia Stuaan for a candid look at what it really means to build a career in agriculture as a woman who grew up in the thick of it. Raised on a 2,500 acre row crop and livestock operation in southern Iowa, Alecia didn’t just grow up around farming, she lived every inch of it. Welding at ten, planting at twelve, running the combine at seventeen, she entered the industry with a depth of experience that most people never see.

And you can't really have the first one, the environmental impact reduction in sustainability if you don't have the others. And that's what we focus on. Yeah, go ahead and hand with that.
