DTN’s 2024 Virtual Ag Summit wrapped up in December, with farmers from across the country convening to discuss what to expect, and how to prepare, for a New Year, New Administration, and New Markets.
The event also gave DTN Progressive Farmer’s Senior Editor Dan Miller a chance to show off some of the stellar producers honored in the 2025 class of America’s Best Young Farmers and Ranchers, who offered their perspective on the businesses they’re growing, the challenges they’ve faced, and what they see ahead.
Today, we’ll hear from honorees Emily Mullen, a dairy farmer from Ohio, and Ben Neale, a cattleman from Tennessee, about their unique paths to farming, and how they’ve rolled with the punches of consumer demand, a global pandemic, and uncertain market conditions in recent years.
In their sit down with Dan, they’ll also discuss their outlook for growth, the skills they’ve built to farm and market products successfully, and why they stood out in a competitive class of young farmers this year.
