SMITHVILLE, Mo. (RFD-TV) — Many farmers are fortunate to grow up working alongside their parents, and that is true for third-generation FarmHER + RanchHER Alex Templeton, who is now continuing her family tradition, raising children of her own in the same dirt where she learned to love the land.
Templeton is the featured guest on this week’s Dirt Diaries: The FarmHER + RanchHER Podcast, where she shares how she’s inspiring others in agriculture while keeping up with the demands of her operation.
She joined us on Thursday on Market Day Report to talk about her blog, Ag Talk with Alex, and what it’s been like to share her story with wider audiences.
In addition to her podcast appearance, Templeton is also featured on the new season of FarmHER + RanchHER. She reflected on the experience of having the crew on her farm and the importance of showcasing real stories from women in agriculture.
Alex’s Dirt Diaries episode is available today — Thursday, September 25 — on all podcast platforms and will also air weekends at 5 a.m. and 4 p.m. ET on Rural Radio SiriusXM Channel 147.
