But between farming, family and other factors, finding this balance may seem unattainable.

Farms.com recently connected with Katy Schultz, a cash crop and dairy farmer, business owner, and mother from Fox Lake, Wis., to discuss this topic.

Schultz believes the term “work life balance” may be a little misleading and sees it as juggling.
