Shownotes

Today’s guest is proof that you can be both a powerhouse behind the wheel of a tractor and a force on social media.

Zoe Kent is an eighth-generation grain farmer from Crawford County, Ohio—and at just 26 years old, she took over the family operation. Since then, she’s built not only her farm, but also a wildly popular online presence as the face of “Farm With Zoe.” Zoe gives her followers an honest, family-friendly, and often hilarious look at rural life—from planting and harvest to equipment breakdowns and the occasional mishap.

In this conversation, Zoe shares how she went from college cheerleader to full-time farmer, the realities of succession planning, and how she’s using social media to educate, entertain, and connect people to agriculture. We talk about the balance between honoring her family’s long farming legacy and embracing new tools, tech, and ideas to keep things moving forward.

She’s funny, she’s down-to-earth, and she’s not afraid to show the dirt—literally. I can’t wait for you to hear this one.

Let’s get dirty with Zoe.
