“It’s about being open to young people in your community that might be interested in agriculture and finding a way to get them on your farm. That's going to look different for everybody and finding good help is hard, and paying good help what they deserve is even harder, but if we can be proactive in trying to find good people rather than good people just falling in our lap, that's going to help us a lot as an industry.”
— Joel Reddick, Grower, Carlisle County, Ky.
