weathering the challenges of ranching
THIS WEEK, LEAH PETERSON, ALSO KNOWN AS THE CLEAR CREEK RANCH MOM, SHARES HER JOURNEY BACK TO HER FAMILY’S AGRICULTURAL ROOTS IN NEBRASKA. SHE TALKS ABOUT FAMILY LEGACY, THE REALITIES OF RANCHING, AND THE CHALLENGES FARMERS FACE, INCLUDING EXTREME WEATHER. LEAH HIGHLIGHTS THE IMPORTANCE OF STORYTELLING, COMMUNITY SUPPORT, MENTAL HEALTH, AND HER DREAMS OF WRITING CHILDREN’S BOOKS AND ADVOCATING FOR WELLNESS IN AGRICULTURE.
Leah Peterson is a fifth-generation rancher working alongside her multi-generational family in Northeast Custer County, Nebraska. In the aftermath of the 2019 Nebraska Bomb Cyclone, she launched Clear Creek Ranch Mom, initially to share helpful resources, which quickly grew into a supportive community offering encouragement, connection, and a touch of humor.
Leah is wife to Matt and mother to Maggie and Lucy. She is passionate about supporting new and beginning farmers and ranchers, helping families transition operations to the next generation, and advocating for self-care among busy moms. A faith-driven leader, Leah champions all aspects of agriculture and the people who make it thrive.
