With Bill and James stuck in the field, the better half of Iowa Cover Crop, Megan and Melissa take over the microphones and give their side of the ICC story.
They talk about how a business that started as a pretty informal farmer side project slowly turned into a real company with employees, offices, warehouses, systems, and a whole lot more paperwork. They share how their own roles evolved along the way, from invoicing and accounting to quality control, HR, marketing, certified seed, operations, and all the other jobs that somehow appear when a small business grows.
They also get into what Bill and James are really good at, what they are decidedly less good at, and why the business probably works because everyone brings a very different skill set to the table.
There’s also Candyland instead of cribbage, and a brief reminder that Megan and Melissa are better game players than their spouses.
If you’ve ever wondered who keeps Iowa Cover Crop running when Bill and James are busy farming, this is your episode.
