Join me for this great interview with Peggy Coffeen from the Uplevel Dairy podcast. Peggy spent her career in the dairy media and publication industry, helping share stories about dairy farms nationwide. Her podcast, Uplevel Dairy, is for dairy farm owners, managers, and advisors who are committed to profitability, sustainability, and excellence.
In this episode, we discuss some challenges that face owners and managers of dairy farms, especially when their farm is growing or transitioning. We also dive into why low turnover rates are so important in production agriculture, and how you can pinpoint a good career fit for yourself within the industry.
Peggy recently launched a second podcast called Uplevel Dairy Young Leaders, for producers and professionals in the first 5 years of their dairy careers, who are driven and determined to make a difference in the industry. Be sure to check it out wherever you listen to podcasts!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
