About this episode

Mike Howell and Angie Traetow discuss the importance of being more intentional with time on the farm and its long-term benefits.

If you spend just 14 minutes a day differently, what could that do for you and your farm? On this episode of The Dirt, Mike Howell sits down with Angie Traetow to talk about what it looks like to be more intentional on the farm and in everyday life. They explore how a small shift in how you use your time can add up over the course of a year, and why stepping back from the day-to-day to think about the big picture truly matters. From thinking more strategically about the markets and new technology to long-term planning like succession, taking a more intentional approach can have a lasting impact in your life and your operation. Angie shares personal examples from her own farm and challenges listeners to spend just one percent of their day more intentionally. Looking for the latest in crop nutrition research?
