Description

Meet Zack Snider, a young farmer who raises pigs, turkeys, corn and soybeans with his family in West Michigan. He talks with us about:

• The most surprising thing about him (spoiler: it’s not far from having a seasonal werewolf running around the house)
• The difference between male and female turkeys
• A skill he has had since perhaps before he could walk
• A remodel project he’s working on
• Neat technology he and his dad work with to do the best job they can
• Barns with names…that are relevant for a very important reason!
• Sounds his son makes and other fun things Sawyer is learning
• Setting the record straight about family business in animal agriculture
• Three people he might invite to [Thanksgiving] dinner
• Family holiday traditions
• Things he’s most thankful for in this life
