In this episode, we focus on the support system that surrounds the farm and look to the in-laws; those who married into farm families. What’s it like for the partners who opt in to the 24/7, 365 duties that come with life on the farm? Florence Witherspoon and Chris Spaleta join us to answer that question. Where do they fit into important decisions with the family business? This episode investigates the joys, the obligations, and the dedication it takes to support your partner, your family, and the farm.
