Books to Dive Into: You Are Not Your Farm — for insights that help farmers separate identity from their work. (Available on Amazon)

In this episode of The Grounded Farmer Podcast, Jack and Jared dive into a challenge most farmers quietly carry: trying to do it all.

From fixing every fence to running the books, they explore why so many farmers feel the pressure to be everything to everyone — and the hidden cost of that mindset. Drawing from real-life stories and honest reflection, they unpack how this “do-it-all” culture impacts relationships, health, decision-making, and the future of the farm itself.

This episode offers not just insight but relief, reminding listeners that delegation isn’t weakness, it’s wisdom. Whether you're a solo operator or part of a larger team, this conversation invites you to rethink what’s really driving your busyness, and how to shift toward a more sustainable, successful way of working and living.
