Season 1 is a wrap! Help us with future seasons: - Sponsor or partner with us to support future seasons - Send us ideas for farmers or topics to feature in future episodes Contact us at fillius at iastate.edu or sarah.janesugoretz at wisc.edu What happens when a vegetable farmer decides it's time to completely reinvent their operation—or even walk away entirely? From candid exit interviews to stories of creative collaborations and dramatic business makeovers, Pivot Points explores creative solutions that turn farming challenges into new possibilities. Whether farmers are scaling up, scaling down, or finding entirely new ways forward, Pivot Points asks the big question: when your farm stops working for your life, what's your next move? Hosted by Sarah Janes Ugoretz, farm labor educator with UW Extension and Fair Share CSA Coalition, and Dan Fillius, Iowa State University Extension field specialist for commercial vegetables.
