Today's show is a BEST OF episode where we replay a favorite episode from the past.

We all know that running a business is hard.

We all know that running a farm business is hard.

But think everyone knows how hard it actually is.  How much it can push you to the limits and test you to your core?  

It's during those tests, when the world seems darkest, that most entrepreneurs throw in the towel.  The pressure, the stress, the money, it's all too much.

Nonetheless more and more people flock to farming without any experience, not totally knowing what they are getting themselves into.

One of those people was Ray Tyler...

Ray started out like a lot of people who get into farming, he was inspired by to get into farming by Joel Salatin's You Can farm...

He started raising livestock, and then life got real...

Imagine yourself as a new farmer running a full-time livestock operation raising 50 pigs and a few thousand chickens a year.  

And then imagine running a two-acre market garden on top of that...

And along the way the, your 5-year-old daughter gets cancer...

It was a moment that put Ray's farm and life on the ropes... it's the story of Ray Tyler or Rosecreek Farms...
