In this episode of Herd it Here First, Blythe sits down with her friend Jeannette — a loving, driven, and resilient woman who knows firsthand what it’s like when the farm plan changes.

Jeannette grew up as a farmer kid, working alongside her family with every intention of taking over the farm one day. But while away at ag college, life took an unexpected turn — her dad decided to step back, and suddenly the future she had pictured for herself wasn’t there anymore.

What followed was a journey of redefining identity, rediscovering passion, and realizing that even when we’re not farming the way we thought we would, we still belong in agriculture.

This conversation is for every woman who’s ever felt like she had to pivot, start fresh, or find her place all over again. Grab your coffee, tune in, and join us for an honest talk about purpose, change, and the heart of being a “girl farmer.”

In this solo episode of Herd it Here First, I’m slowing things down to talk about gratitude — the simple practice of noticing the good in our everyday lives. In agriculture, it’s easy to get caught up in long days, challenges, and the unexpected. But when we pause to look around, there are always moments worth appreciating: the smell of fresh feed, a sunrise over the fields, or the people who walk alongside us in this wild world of farming.

Join me as I share why gratitude matters, how it has shaped my own journey, and a few ways you can bring it into your daily routine. Whether you’re listening from the barn, the tractor, or your kitchen table, this episode is a reminder that small moments of gratitude can bring connection, perspective, and joy.

In this episode of Herd it Here First, I sit down with the women behind Tails from Westport, a dairy farm family who has built a vibrant online community by sharing the everyday moments of life on the farm. From morning chores to big-picture dreams, their social media presence has become a place of connection, inspiration, and real talk about agriculture.

We dive into what inspired them to start their page, the challenges and joys of farming as a family, and how sharing their story has opened doors and motivated them in new ways. As women in agriculture, their journey shines a light on resilience, creativity, and the importance of community—both online and off the farm.

Whether you’re a fellow farmer, a social media enthusiast, or simply love hearing stories of women carving their path in agriculture, this conversation is filled with heart, laughter, and inspiration.
