Chelsey's Story: Farming + Parenting

Straight Talk with NDFB

Nov 29 2023 • 26 mins

Hosts Emmery Mehlhoff and Alisha Nord visit with Chelsey Erdmann, a 6th generation farmer and social media influencer. She also serves on NDFB's Promotion and Education Committee. Chelsey lives with her husband Kyle in Fessenden, N.D., and farms with her brother, parents and three children on the family farm.

Chelsey is a North Dakota native and has an Ag Economics degree from NDSU. She originally began her career after graduation at an equipment dealership, b​ut Chelsey wanted to come back to the farm.

Growing up, Chelsey's parents made it clear there would always be room on the farm and family business for her and her siblings. So, she took the opportunity and went back in 2018.

In this episode we talk about:

  • Returning to the family farm
  • What it’s like to farm with family
  • Why it's important to tell your story
  • And the big question… how Chelsey farms with three active children
