Inspiring The Next Generation with Melissa Nelson on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher | Google Podcasts

Today on the show, we sat down with rancher and entrepreneur Melissa Nelson. She tells us about her work with college students and the impact on-farm externships have on students' future careers in agriculture. Melissa discusses why it's important for the next generation to gain experiences away from the family farm and learn how to add value to the family operation. Melissa also discusses her journey as an entrepreneur and the value of having a creative mind in agriculture. It takes new perspectives, ideas, and creativity to inspire the next generation in agriculture, and Melissa is doing just that through her externship program and side-hustle businesses. 

In this episode we cover: 

• How Melissa prioritizes “glass plates versus plastic plates” when juggling multiple businesses, cattle, and kids
