Original Show Notes:

KEY IDEAS:

The types of businesses that people are creating by talking about agriculture are amazing. Today, I get to profile one of those influencers. Michelle Miller goes by the name “The Farm Babe”. She has an interesting story of growing up in Wisconsin, finding herself on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, traveling the world, bartending on a beach in Florida and ultimately finding her way to a farm in Northern Iowa.

Michelle believed a lot of the marketing hype around GMO’s, pesticides, etc. for many years. However, as she was exposed to true farming practices by those in production agriculture her views started to change. She decided that she wanted to share what she was learning with all of her friends who believed the same way that she had. Soon, her efforts to educate others on social media about real farming practices blossomed into a significant following.

This created a unique opportunity for Michelle, and she became a farm “myth buster” and public speaker. Even though the demands of the public pull Michelle away from the farm more frequently these days, when we talked she was just getting ready for lambing season.

I asked Michelle about the business of being an agricultural influencer during the interview. I asked her if it has peaked or if we are still on the front end. She believes that the best is yet to come, in a big way. You will enjoy this interview with “The Farm Babe”. And if you have an agricultural message to share, this is the interview to listen to.
