Welcome to episode five and six of the AFSC Podcast!

In episode five we chat with Gerard Oosterhuis and his daughter Kara Oosterhuis who farm near Bow Island, Alberta. Running a multi-generational farm brings a variety of experiences and perspectives to our conversation. In part one of our interview with Gerard and Kara we discuss how their year went- even among some unusual times due to COVID-19- and get their insights on risk management for their operation and the challenges and risks they face when making decisions for the long-term success of their farm and their family.

 

 

In part two of our interview with Gerard and Kara we discuss succession planning, the importance of mental health in agriculture, and their roles within the ag industry.
