About this listen
Benjie Daniel of Charlotte, Tennessee, carries on a remarkable family tradition spanning over 150 years. As the sixth generation on a century farm, Benjie has seen the operation evolve—from its start as a row crop and dairy farm into a thriving stocker and cow-calf beef business. Today, the farm manages about 150 cow-calf pairs, a few hundred stockers, and takes care of roughly 1,800 acres of stock, hay, pasture, and crops. With the eighth generation now joining the legacy, Benjie shares a story of resilience and adaptation that has kept their heritage strong through the decades.
Deeply rooted in the Co-op system, Benjie follows in his father’s footsteps—who served as a TFC board member—and now chairs the Tennessee Farmers Cooperative board of directors. Listen now to discover how family, farming, and community leadership come together on this historic Tennessee farm.
