Closing One Chapter to Open Another – No, Not Goodbye!
In this heartfelt solo episode, host Val Lavigne shares a major update: The Dairy Hour Podcast is getting a fresh new look, feel, and name—introducing Pull Up a Bale!
What started as a platform to amplify voices in dairy has grown into a space where all stories in agriculture are welcome. Val reflects on the evolution of the show, the power of storytelling in agriculture, and the importance of community support throughout the journey. She opens up about her own personal growth and the exciting decision to rebrand the podcast to better represent the wide range of conversations happening in ag.
This isn’t goodbye—it’s just the beginning of something even better. Pull Up a Bale will bring the same energy, laughter, and real talk that listeners love, while expanding the focus to include even more diverse voices and topics from across the ag world. The new name reflects the laid-back, come-as-you-are vibe Val wants to create: a place where you can pull up a bale, kick off your boots, and connect through stories that matter.
Whether you’re in the barn, in the cab, or taking a break between chores, you’ll feel right at home.
