Ranch Updates and the Factory Farm Ban Ballot: What It Is and How It Affects Us All

Lauren P

In this episode, I share what's happening at the ranch, the emotions that come with life's changes, and the experience of moving to a new state and making friends. If you're feeling stuck in life or in a place of uncertainty, I cover that too, discussing how to trust in God's plans and reminding myself and you that whatever God takes away, He always restores with something better. 

I also delve into a significant topic: factory farming and the upcoming ballot in November about banning factory farms and exploring what this could mean for farmers, ranchers, agriculture in general and for consumers alike. Thanks for listening!
