<p>Josh grew up on a family dairy in northeast Kansas, started milking cows in fifth grade, and eventually left home to manage thousands of cows in western Kansas.But when it came time to decide what was next, family pulled him home.We talk about why he came back to keep the family dairy going, what it takes to milk 300+ cows three times a day, raising kids on the farm, the future of dairy and why the next generation has to *want* to come back — not feel like they have to.And somehow along the way, a pheasant hunting hobby turned into raising nearly 14,000 birds a year.This one has a little bit of everything — dairy, family, hard work, plenty of laughs and a reminder of why some people choose to come home.Watch this episode and more at https://www.humblegroundag.com</p>
