Feedstuffs podcast: NCBA CEO talks COVID-19, Brazilian beef and GIPSA

Balancing the roles of being a parent and an industry professional is possible, but it can, at times, be challenging. As our guest shares, it's okay to step back and not feel guilty that nothing got scratched off that to-do list today. It’s okay to have everything delivered to your doorstep. Likewise, it’s okay to say no thanks to the negative influences of say, social media. 

Joining us on this episode of Feedstuffs in Focus to talk about how she approaches a work / life balance is Dr. Amber Stricker. Dr. Stricker is a swine veterinarian with Suidae Health & Production clinic out of Algona, Iowa. She has a demanding career as a swine veterinarian along with four children at home to care for.
