We are overcoming fears on the next episode of FarmHer!

RFD-TV’s original series FarmHer presents new episodes on Tuesday at 9PM ET. Tomorrow’s episode features turkey farmer, Erica Sawatzke, whose farm started as a homestead in 1866.

This sixth-generation FarmHer spoke with RFD-TV’s own Suzanne Alexander about her operation, getting the call from the show, and what she hopes viewers take away from her episode.
