Welcome back to Beyond the Crops, where farm life meets real life! In this special episode, Mary Pat takes the host chair and brings on her husband, Josh, for a fun and lighthearted Q&A session. They pulled questions directly from listeners on Instagram, covering everything from this season's crop updates and farm dynamics to raising kids on the farm and keeping a marriage strong.

📌 What We Cover in This Episode:

• If you want to be more involved in the farm operation, you have to voice it. Start the conversation and be flexible with the role you're given.
• Open communication is the cornerstone of balancing work and marriage on the farm. Support each other's passions and find ways to work as a team.
• It's possible to be a conventional farmer and still embrace a holistic lifestyle. The conversation is nuanced, and it's okay to question practices while still using necessary tools.
• When raising kids on the farm, your attitude is everything. Show them you love what you do, and they're more likely to find joy in it too.
• Whether it's farm meetings or family dinners, having some structure can help manage expectations and create intentional time for connection.
