概要
Send a text
Clint Gorden, a central Illinois farmer, joins the Patio Pondering Podcast to discuss what it means to be a skip-generation farmer—connected to farming through grandparents, but without a parent actively farming to provide day-to-day guidance. Clint shares how he built his path through farm work, the seed business, and the relationships and mentorship that helped him earn opportunities in agriculture.
Jim and Clint explore the realities of modern Midwest farming, including aging farmers, larger operations with “more zeros,” the increasing importance of strategy in farming decisions, and how technology and broader networks influence learning, efficiency, and risk management.
Topics covered:
- What “skip-generation farmer” means in today’s agriculture
- Getting started in farming without a prior generation in the cab
- Seed sales, cold-calling, and building credibility
- Aging farmers and generational transition
- Why farming has become more strategic as operations grow
- Community involvement: Farm Bureau, Corn Growers, Lions Club
Recording note: This conversation ends earlier than planned due to a technical interruption. Jim and Clint plan to reconnect and continue the discussion in a future episode.
