About the Podcast

Join UW-Madison Division of Extension as they search for new crops for Wisconsin growers, processors, and consumers.  The strength of Wisconsin’s agricultural economy is its diversity…something that doesn’t just happen by chance.  It is a product of the relentless drive of researchers and farmers to innovate, explore, and experiment.  Join us for a glimpse into the exciting new research and development bringing new crops and diversity to Wisconsin.

“If you’re not living on the edge, you’re taking up too much space.”    – George Koepp

About the Podcast

Extension Farm Management is excited to introduce Pivot Points – a new podcast that explores big changes farmers have made in their business models and, often by extension, their lives.

Compared to other industries, farming is famous (or perhaps infamous) for its all-consuming focus. And once you’re in, it often feels like the only real option is to hunker down and make it work. Pivot Points takes closer look at what it means when farmers decide to shake things up.

From shifts in production and ownership models to lingering questions around sustainability and identity, join us as we explore this and so much more.
