Meet Angie Setzer, who is responsible for buying and selling grain (corn, soybeans and wheat) from farmers. Listen in as she talks about:
- How a person gets started in this job…even if unconventionally
- Putting your eggs (and other foods) in more than one basket
- Working by way of “trial by fire” and managing risk
- Learning your ethical compass in less-than-ideal situations
- Transitioning from a career being her baby to...motherhood and step-grandmotherhood
- Presenting a breakout session in high heels while holding a child
- Serving sandwiches with fancy mustard
- Living life positively
- Finding comfort in solitude but being able to speak to a room full of people
- Setting the record straight about family farms and digging into the layers of agriculture
