DAIRY FARMER CO-OP TO RELEASE SERIES ON DIVING DEEP INTO FARM HISTORY, CHALLENGES AND AGRICULTURAL ADVANCEMENTS
Source: Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative news release

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Dairy Stream, an agricultural-focused podcast co-hosted by Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative and the Dairy Business Association, proudly presents the "How We Got Here" podcast series. This three-part series, sponsored by BMO, features dairy farmers sharing the history of their farms and the steps they've taken to get to where they are today.

Podcast host Joanna Guza explores the stories of innovative farmers, highlighting their challenges, improvements, financial preparations and the future of farming and the industry. Each episode features a dairy farmer and a representative from BMO who has experience in agricultural banking.

"This series is unique as each farm reflected or focused on a different area, whether that was milk price challenges or put an emphasis on employee training," Guza said. "It's fascinating to learn about the influences and steps that have shaped these farmers into who they are today and how their farm operates."

Episodes in the How We Got Here series include:
Norm E Lane in Chili, Wisconsin: The first episode in this series features Josh Meissner, owner of Norm E Lane. Meissner's farm milks 4,000 cows and manages 5,000 acres. He's accompanied by Brad Guse of BMO who has 29 years of experience in agricultural banking. Listen to the episode Here.
