Virginia's Young Farmers Podcast
Join two Virginia Young "ag"vocates, Ashley & Dustin, as they discuss agriculture and farming from their perspective. We believe Thomas Jefferson said it best when he said, "Agriculture is our wisest pursuit because it will, in the end, contribute most to real wealth, good morals, and happiness". So join us - a generational farmer and a farming hopeful - as we share our passion for all things agriculture and hopefully educate, inform, and entertain you along the way.

Sharks Don't Swim Backwards: Featuring The Shark Farmer
Cue the "Jaws" themesong. We interviewed the Shark Farmer!
On this episode, we had the change to chat with Rob Sharkey while we were at the Virginia Farm Bureau Young Farmers Winter Expo in Halifax, VA. Rob was the keynote speaker for the event, but before he took the stage, we chatted about what led him to creating a wildly successful multimedia platform where farmers can share their stories.
It was an honor to talk with Rob about finding faith in failure, thinking outside the box, and never letting your past hold you back from your future - with some laughs along the way.
Don't forget, sharks don't swim backwards!
