In this episode of Patio Pondering, host Jim Smith, Ph.D., sits down with Kaylee Keppy-McDonnell to explore the themes that have defined her journey through agriculture: communication, boundaries, and foundational values.
From her roots on an Eastern Iowa farm to her new role as Director of Retail at United Animal Health, Kaylee shares how livestock judging, strong mentors, and a passion for swine production shaped her path. The conversation ranges from navigating the early-career pressure to prove yourself, to setting healthy boundaries as a working mom, to the lessons learned through networking and community.
Kaylee and Jim also dive into:
- The reality of career pivots and blank canvases
- Organizing the “Elevate Women in Ag” event at World Pork Expo
- The nuanced differences—and overlap—between show pigs and commercial swine
- Raising strong kids through agriculture, whether in the barn or in the boardroom
Whether you're a young professional building your career, a parent balancing life and livestock, or someone reflecting on the deeper purpose of ag life, this conversation offers grounded insight with honesty and heart.
