Down on the farm with Jason Duck Barber

–––––––––––––– Podcast Description My name is Jason Barber, but most people know me as Duck. I am a legally blind cattle farmer in southern Middle Tennessee. I own and operate a 100 plus acre family farm that turns 160 years old this year. I am an eighth generation farmer. Farming has always been part of my life. But in midlife, everything changed. I was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a progressive condition that took away much of my sight. Many people would have walked away. I chose to adapt. With the help of assistive technologies and sheer determination, I continue to operate this historic farm largely on my own. But this podcast is about more than farming. It is about growing up on this land. It is about serving as a career firefighter and 911 dispatcher. It is about facing sudden and tragic loss with the passing of my parents. And it is about learning how to move forward when life forces you to see the world differently. In this podcast, I share my journey of resilience, faith, adaptation, and purpose. You will hear how I learned to keep doing what I love, even when the path ahead was uncertain. If my story speaks to you, I invite you to learn more. You can find real life examples of how I live and farm with vision loss on my YouTube channel and Facebook page, both called Farming Blind with Duck. ––––––––––––––https://www.patreon.com/aarons...Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/aaron-s-opinion--5920599/support.
