Achieving a balance between work and life is something many people are trying to achieve.

In fact, Google search results show that search queries for this topic has increased steadily since the end of 2021 and has remained a fairly consistent search term ever since.

But between farming, family and other factors, finding this balance may seem unattainable.

Farms.com recently connected with Katy Schultz, a cash crop and dairy farmer, business owner, and mother from Fox Lake, Wis., to discuss this topic.

Schultz believes the term “work life balance” may be a little misleading and sees it as juggling.

Watch the video below to hear her definition of work life balance, or juggling, and how she manages to stay organized.

Before trade and tariffs dominated the conversation, taxation was one of the biggest issues on farmers’ minds last year. From the carbon tax to capital gains, OFA worked with the Canadian Federation of Agriculture and provincial partners to push for fair, practical solutions. We saw progress on carbon tax relief and capital gains, and we continue to advocate for modernized farm tax programs at both the provincial and federal levels.

OFA works to represent the interests of Ontario farmers to all levels of government. Renew your Farm Business Registration (FBR) by March 1/26 and choose OFA so we can continue to support Ontario farmers and their businesses.
