#109 | From Rodeo Royalty to Hay Farming: The Story of Dakota Baretta
About this episode
Dakota Baretta shares her journey from rodeo royalty to managing a hay farm while balancing family life.
Dakota recounts buying their established hay property during COVID after a tender process for another farm, crediting the previous owners for mentorship and client transitions. She describes shifting farm routines after kids, including hiring a nanny for stability, managing judgment about childcare, and structuring pay and housing. She offers advice on keeping personal passions, adding value in family businesses, and using practical tools like UHF baby-monitor radios and baby carriers for farm life.
