Episode 4 | Cari Rincker, Esq. joins episode four of the Raising the Barn podcast. We know that the vast majority of farmers wear a lot of hats, but I’m not sure many wear as many as Cari. Farmer, Ag and Family Lawyer, Professor, Podcaster, Triathlete, 4H Judge, Author, and recently, new Mother are just a few of the titles that Cari holds.
Cari is the owner of Rincker Law and Cari’s Farm in Champaign, Il. During our conversation, we talk about farm law, how she’s balancing life on and off the farm, and her advice for the next generation of farmers.
Some of the questions we chat about:
- When it comes to legally protecting an Ag business, what are some common mistakes that she sees folks making?
- What are some frequently asked legal questions that she receives from farmers?
- How does she balance life on and off the farm?
- With Cari’s Farm, she’s selling beef, goat meat, and eggs. How is she marketing her business?
- She’s been involved with the 4-H program as a member and now as a judge. What is she excited about for the next generation of farmers?
- What’s one piece of advice she’d give to someone who is younger and planning a career in Ag or even someone who is looking to make a career change and get into farming for the first time?
- What’s on her marketing plan for 2022?
