OFI 081: The Overwhelmed Farmer | Avoiding Burnout On The Farm

SHOW NOTES

KEY IDEAS:

This week I moved into new “podcasting territory.”  I devote this episode to some coaching questions that I had received about burnout on the farm.  I spend the episode talking about the issues that came up from these questions.  How can we avoid burnout?  How can we set realistic goals?  How do we come up with action plans?

We take on all of these issues in the light of a farmer who is considering abandoning their dream because they are overwhelmed by work and debt.  We emphasize slow growth and figuring out what your perfect life looks like.

BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS:

I recommend You Can Farm: The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Start & Succeed in a Farming Enterprise by Joel Salatin this week.  Joel is outspoken and has strong beliefs about how farming should be done and how you should grow.  But, I have not found any other books that take you through the journey of the slow growth of a profitable farm quite like this one does.  This is an excellent read for anyone who is dreaming of farming.
