What is your comfort zone? How do you react to events or opportunities that push you beyond it? This week, for the ag section that ran in the Neepawa Banner & Press, that question came up in a couple of the interviews I did. It wasn鈥檛 a major focus of either one, but something that stuck with me as I talked to HyLife co-founder Claude Vielfaure and Zach Johnson, a fifth generation Minnesota farmer who runs a popular YouTube channel.
