Throughout life we all learn valuable lessons from our successes and mistakes, and the best way to help others is to share those lessons we have learned.
The mentorship program at GreenStone establishes a way for industry leaders to share their lifetime of these lessons and knowledge with young, beginning, and small farmers. The current 2020-2022 mentorship class is wrapping up, but the relationship built during the 18-month program will last a lifetime.
Nick Pasch joined the program as a mentee in hopes of gaining a new perspective on his dairy operation from his mentor. Nick was raised in the dairy industry, but still felt like there was more he could learn to better his farm.
He was paired with mentor Jack Jeppesen, a dairy farmer with decades of experience. Jack and his wife believe giving back to the community is very important, and he was humbled to be asked to serve as a mentor for the program.
The next class of mentees and mentors will kick off this fall. Applicants are now being accepted – don’t wait to benefit from this partnership!
