## Resource

Marcus Holtkötter, a 12th-generation farmer from Germany, joins AgWarriors to share what it’s like to raise pigs and grow crops in Europe amid increasing government regulations. He discusses the education required to farm in Europe, lessons learned through experience, and the power of building strong networks with fellow farmers. Holtkötter also offers his perspective on the growing role of data in agriculture, the impacts of the war in Russia and Ukraine and the future of small farms in a conversation with host Jeremy Matuszewski.
