In this episode of Mind Your Farm Business, host Shaun Haney speaks with three women from unique backgrounds and stages of their careers,  to talk about their perspective on the challenges and opportunities that have led to their success. Hear from Sandi Brock, sheep and grain farmer at Staffa, Ont., Fiona Jochum, grain farmer from St. Francis Xavier, Man., and Anne Wasko, beef market analyst and rancher at East End, Sask.
