17: Building a culture of success

This week on Ruminate This, we talk with Dr. Kevin Ziemba, Global Support Specialist at STgenetics, about the essentials of proactive farm management and its role in building a sustainable farm team. Dr. Ziemba shares how moving beyond constant crisis management to building a team-oriented culture centered around compliance and problem-solving, is critical to farm success. Of utmost importance is clear communication, where everyone on the team, not just the owners and managers, understands the "why." Tune in to hear how effective farm management encompasses not just facilities, processes, and equipment, but fundamentally starts with the people. By fostering the right culture and ensuring the right people are in the right roles, farms can unlock their genetic and nutritional potential, leading to greater success and sustainability.Kevin Ziemba is the Global Support Specialist, where he and his team provide genetic support and resources to dairy producers. Born and raised on a dairy, Kevin has spent his entire life in genetics. Kevin graduated from Cornell University where he earned a master’s degree in quantitative genetics. Kevin is a very active Cornell alumna, returning to Cornell to guest lecture the Dairy Genetics class each year and has coached the Cornell dairy judging team for the past 9 years.  In 2021 his team won the National Intercollegiate Dairy Judging Contest at Madison.If you would like to discuss this topic further, contact us.Social Links:YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@RuminateThisYouTube Page:  https://www.youtube.com/@agrariansolutions5557LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/company/agrarian-solutions/Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/AgrarianSolutionsInstagram Page:  https://www.instagram.com/agrariansolutions/Website: https://agrariansolutions.com/Got a Question or want free Mycotoxin Testing?
