On this episode of Tractor Tuesday Live, we’re joined by Houlie Duque, founder of HomeschoolToGo, to explore why homeschooling can be an ideal fit for farm and agriculture families. We talk about how parents can balance running a family operation while educating their kids, how the farm itself can become a powerful classroom for blending core academics with real-world skills, and why intentionally training the next generation early is one of agriculture’s most overlooked long-term assets. This is a thoughtful conversation about legacy, succession, and raising critical thinkers and capable leaders within family-run ag businesses, without criticizing education broadly.

On this episode of Tractor Tuesday Live, we are joined by Stoney Buell of Purdue University and Marissa Porsch of Fort Hays State University to talk about what it truly means to be a farm athlete. Growing up in agriculture builds a different kind of strength, discipline, and mindset, and both Stoney and Marissa have carried those traits from the farm into their wrestling careers. We dig into their journeys on and off the mat, how farm life shaped their work ethic, and what being a farm athlete means long after the match is over.
