In case our amazing listeners haven't noticed, our ending tag line is : Every day is an opportunity to learn something new.

How do we learn new things on the farm or in our every day lives? Many, many different ways!

First of all, you need to figure out your learning style. Then don't be afraid to fail because you will.

These are just some of the areas or ways that we learn:

-podcasts

-YouTube, Rumble, Odessy

-Facebook Groups

-Books: old, new, and used (Thriftbooks is an awesome opportunity!)

-Finding a mentor whether it be in person or online

-Makerspaces

-Local Community College or your Local FFA instructor

-USDA agent

-Master Gardener Groups

-Conferences (like Back to the Land or Self Reliance)

-Coworkers or Neighbors
