Ag & tech workplace culture with the Nightingales

I ran into the Nightingales a few years ago on Twitter. They've spent years working to make jobs more humane (and even succeeding!) It quickly became clear that we're running into a lot of the same workplace problems in our respective industries. But how? I'm in agriculture, and they're in tech! What's going on? We talk about how sucky jobs in any industry are a choice, making them not suck is a process, and what that process looks like.

Today we talk contract broiler farming! This is the type of farming famous for "giant barns full of chickens that the farmers don't own." If you've ever wondered why farmers would keep farming in a way that "everyone just knows" makes them poor, this episode digs into why!
Joining us today is @Woofpickler- farm kid, ag business owner, & former combine tech. We'll have a good time pulling some themes out of the contract broiler business and tying them into the ag sector at large.
Info sources we use for this episode:
2018 sociology thesis on broiler farming
USDA report on broiler farmer finances: the source for the finance data used in this podcast. USDA doesn't do deep dives on broiler farm finances very often; changes since the data were collected are addressed in the episode.
