    I hear regularly from multi-generational businesses that feel a shift toward a more sustainable model after being in business for so long is an uphill task, but not this week's guest: Lynn Giacomini Stray.

Lynn is sharing the responsibility that falls on landowners and farmers, why sustainability is no longer a choice, and we're discussing the best practices that players in the farming industry need to take note of.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://sensiba.com/resources/
