Jack shares the story behind Featherstone Farm and gives us a fascinating look at what it actually takes to grow, harvest, package, and ship semi-trailers of fresh vegetables to grocery stores throughout the region. We discuss why so few farms are doing this type of large-scale vegetable production in the Upper Midwest, the challenges of running a farming business, and the lessons Jack has learned through more than 30 years in agriculture. We also dive into Jack’s decision to run for Minnesota Senate, what he’s hearing from people across Southeast Minnesota, and how his experiences in farming and business have shaped his approach to politics and public service. From farming and small business to Minnesota politics, this is a conversation about the experiences that have taken Jack Hedin from Featherstone Farm to a run for the Minnesota Senate.
