Episode 69: A New Way to Help Farm Divorce
by Elaine Froese | July 14, 2026 | Farm Family Harmony Podcast
In this episode, I sit down with Andrew DeRuyck, farmer, mediator, and farm management specialist, for a conversation about navigating divorce, conflict, and financial uncertainty in farm families.
Drawing on decades of experience in both mediation and farm business consulting, Andrew shares how communication breakdowns, financial complexity, and unmet expectations can put enormous strain on relationships.
Together, we explore the importance of finding common ground, improving financial literacy, and creating workable solutions that protect both people and the farm.
We also discuss why listening matters, how trust impacts decision-making, and the role mediation can play in helping families move forward with greater clarity and less conflict.
If you or someone you know is facing relationship challenges, separation, or difficult financial conversations on the farm, this episode is for you.
“When a marriage is struggling, the first place I go is common ground. Why did you get married in the first place, and how did you end up here?” – Andrew DeRuyck
