Jason Medows is a pharmacist, farmer, father, and host of the Ag State of Mind podcast, which is focused on rural mental health care.

Today we're talking with Lesley Kelly of High Heels and Canola Fields about her work with the Do More Ag Foundation and the What the Farm Podcast.

Our guest today is Elaine Froese, a Canadian farmer, author, and farm coach. Elaine talks to us about succession planning, what to do if nobody wants your farm, what to do if everybody wants your farm, and what to do if you're dodging all your family members.

We connected with Shaun on Twitter, after seeing his post about his grandfather losing his share of the family farm while a POW during WW2. Shaun tells us about going back to the farm after two generations away, more about his family history, and how their family is making it work to farm with three kids and two off farm jobs.

Today we're talking to two farmers and mothers, who also both happen to be mechanical engineers.
