In this episode, we sit down with Kaid to talk about his journey from a small-town upbringing in Utah to building a family-run ranching operation at Gem Valley Cattle in Southeast Idaho. Alongside his father-in-law and with his kids deeply involved in livestock showing through FFA and 4-H, Kaid represents what many in agriculture are striving for—building a legacy while raising the next generation.

But Kaid’s impact doesn’t stop at the ranch gate.

With a growing social media presence and his role as a brand strategist and content creator, he’s become a relatable voice for rural families, livestock show parents, and the broader ag community. From fundraising for youth livestock projects to co-hosting the Small Town Ruckus podcast, Kaid is helping bridge the gap between agriculture and the outside world through storytelling, humor, and authenticity.

This episode dives into the realities of modern ranch life, the importance of community, and how telling your story might be one of the most powerful tools in agriculture today.

Kaid Panek shares how he’s balancing ranching, raising a livestock family, and building a voice in agriculture through social media and storytelling. Today we’re sitting down with Kaid Panek, a rancher out of Southeast Idaho who’s doing more than just raising cattle—he’s helping tell the story of agriculture in a way that’s connecting with people across the country.

In this What’s Working in Ag segment, Tanner and Corey break down the basics of the 45Z tax credit, what it actually is, and why farmers aren’t the ones receiving the check directly. Instead, this credit is designed for fuel producers—but the real question is whether that value makes its way back to the farm.

They dive into carbon intensity (CI) scores, why your current farming practices already matter, and how everything from tillage to fertilizer use could impact future payments. But the biggest issue? The rules still aren’t finalized.

With guidance from the IRS and Treasury still pending, and key decisions around the GREET model and emissions calculations yet to be locked in, farmers are left trying to make sense of a program that’s already technically in motion.

This episode also opens the door for listener input—who should we bring on to break this down further? Because one thing is clear: this could have a major impact on farm profitability, but only if we understand it.

Key Takeaways

  • 45Z is a federal tax credit for low-carbon fuel production
  • The credit goes to fuel producers—not directly to farmers
  • Farmers impact the value through their carbon intensity (CI) score
  • CI score is based on practices like tillage, fertilizer, yield, and inputs
  • Lower CI score = higher value for fuel producers
  • Rules are still not finalized by IRS and Treasury
  • GREET model will be used to calculate emissions and credit values
  • Public comment period has closed; hearing expected soon
  • Implementation details (payments, tracking, verification) still unclear
  • Potential exists—but uncertainty remains high

• The money goes to fuel producers — not farmers directly
• It’s tied to something called a CI Score (Carbon Intensity)
• Lower CI scores could mean more value tied to your grain

• What 45Z is actually trying to accomplish
• How it could impact corn, soybeans, and aviation fuel demand
• Why farmers might benefit indirectly
• The role of carbon intensity scores (CI scores)
• How practices like no-till, manure, and efficiency factor in
• Why tracking and verification could be a major hurdle
• The reality that rules are still being written while the program is live

And then we get real about the concerns:

• Will farmers actually see any of the money?
• Is this just hype… or a real opportunity?
• Could it raise land rents and input competition instead?
• What happens if it disappears after 2027?

This isn’t theory — it’s tested, measured, and proven on their farm.

The Big Shift

• Moving from conventional tillage to strict no-till
• Why they believe tillage destroys soil ecosystems
• The philosophy of “mimicking nature” in production ag

Regenerative Practices in Action

• Multi-species cover crops
• Crop rotation (corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton)
• Using chicken litter and reducing synthetic inputs
• Building soil biology below ground

On-Farm Trials That Matter

• No-till vs. cover crop systems (replicated trials)
• Nitrogen timing with heavy residue
• Interplanting soybeans into corn
• Biological products and their ROI
• MicroNoc trials showing +15 bushel gains

Real Results

• Improved water infiltration
• Reduced input costs
• Long-term soil productivity gains
• What actually worked—and what didn’t

The Hard Truths

• Mistakes made during transition
• Why adoption is still slow
• What farmers get wrong about regenerative ag

This episode isn’t about going “organic.”

It’s about building a system that works economically and agronomically.

]]> Mon, 6 Apr 2026 05:00:00 +0000 farm4profitllc@gmail.com (Matt Griggs, Kelly Griggs) https://intro-to-farm4profit.simplecast.com/episodes/from-conventional-to-regenerative-what-actually-worked-and-what-didnt-D0iaoopw And they’re not guessing…They have farm data going back to 1977

This isn’t theory — it’s tested, measured, and proven on their farm.

The Big Shift

• Moving from conventional tillage to strict no-till
• Why they believe tillage destroys soil ecosystems
• The philosophy of “mimicking nature” in production ag

Regenerative Practices in Action

• Multi-species cover crops
• Crop rotation (corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton)
• Using chicken litter and reducing synthetic inputs
• Building soil biology below ground

On-Farm Trials That Matter

• No-till vs. cover crop systems (replicated trials)
• Nitrogen timing with heavy residue
• Interplanting soybeans into corn
• Biological products and their ROI
• MicroNoc trials showing +15 bushel gains

Real Results

• Improved water infiltration
• Reduced input costs
• Long-term soil productivity gains
• What actually worked—and what didn’t

The Hard Truths

• Mistakes made during transition
• Why adoption is still slow
• What farmers get wrong about regenerative ag

This episode isn’t about going “organic.”

It’s about building a system that works economically and agronomically.

Joe — yes, that’s actually his real name (most people don’t know that) — has built one of the most entertaining ag followings on the internet.

From tractor pulls to random farm humor, he’s proving that agriculture doesn’t have to be serious all the time.

In this episode, we dive into:

• How he built a following of 300K+ on TikTok
• The story behind his John Deere "Polar Bear"
• Why he built his own tractor pull track at home
• The strategy (or lack of strategy) behind his viral content
• His relationship with TractorGal and family involvement
• Snowmobiles, sunglasses, and not taking life too seriously

This episode is a reminder that:

👉 Farming can be fun
👉 Personality matters
👉 And sometimes the best content is just being yourself

That’s exactly the spirit behind the What’s Working in Ag segment — learning what is actually working in the field right now.

In this episode, David Whitaker sits down with Jeff Moon of Corteva Agriscience, a Minnesota Market Development Specialist who has spent his entire career in agriculture.

Together they break down one of the biggest challenges growers face every season: weed pressure and how to stay ahead of it.

Jeff explains why weed management decisions today impact much more than the current crop. A single waterhemp plant can produce up to 500,000 seeds, and those seeds can remain viable in the soil for years — creating long-term weed pressure if problems aren’t addressed early.

The conversation covers several practical insights farmers should consider when building their weed control programs:

• Why weeds reduce yield by competing for sunlight, moisture, and nutrients
• How insect pressure can increase when weed patches are ignored
• The importance of using multiple modes of action to prevent resistance
• Why relying on the same chemistry year after year can create bigger problems
• The value of scouting fields instead of only checking the field entrance
• Why spraying weeds when they’re 2–4 inches tall dramatically improves success

Jeff also discusses how modern herbicide programs often combine multiple tools — including residual control and post-emerge options — to deliver more consistent results across different farming systems.

Because every farm operates differently, the best weed control strategy depends on factors like tillage practices, cropping systems, and environmental conditions.

The key takeaway: weed management is not a one-pass decision — it’s a season-long strategy.

Brown Ranch in North Texas, an operation that’s been running since 1895.

But this isn’t just a story about history — it’s about evolution.

Tucker shares how their family has successfully blended tradition, technology, and storytelling to stay relevant and profitable in today’s cattle industry.

We dive into:

• The history of R.A. Brown Ranch and how it survived tough times
• The role previous generations played in building a lasting operation
• What a successful generational transition actually looks like
• How seedstock genetics and data-driven decisions drive profitability
• The use of DNA, EPDs, IVF, and embryo transfer in modern ranching

• How Tucker is using social media and podcasting to advocate for agriculture
• Bridging the gap between consumers and ranchers through storytelling

We also talk about the importance of faith, family, and leadership in building something that lasts beyond a single generation.

Tucker’s perspective highlights a powerful truth:

The operations that survive aren’t just good at production —
they’re great at adapting, communicating, and thinking long-term.

Whether you’re running cattle, crops, or building a business, this episode is packed with insights on how to create something that stands the test of time.

In this What’s Working in Ag segment, Corey gets a chance to run the show and sits down with the team at AgX to talk about a new planter box biological seed treatment that’s creating buzz in corn production.

The conversation centers around Grow Pack CT, a corn-focused planter box treatment built to support early plant development, nutrient uptake, and season-long root protection.

If you’ve ever battled corn rootworm or worried about the cost and complexity of in-furrow insecticide systems, this segment is worth your time.

Corey talks with Gunther and Pat about:

• What makes this new treatment different from traditional planter box products
• How it builds off the success of Grow Pack AI
• Why this version is specifically designed for corn
• How biologicals can support nutrient solubilization and plant health
• What role it may play in helping repel corn rootworm
• Why it could fit especially well in conventional corn systems
• The simplicity of adding it without special equipment
• Real-world observations from on-farm use and root digs

They also cover why this matters financially.

With margins tight, input decisions matter more than ever. This product is positioned as a low-cost addition compared to many traditional insecticide systems — while still aiming to provide season-long support.

For growers looking for practical tools that are easy to use and worth trialing, this segment highlights one more thing that might be working in ag right now.

Organic farming isn’t the hard part.
The paperwork is.

Visit quickorganics.com to learn more!

In this episode of the Farm4Profit Podcast, we sit down with the team behind Quick Organics — a platform built by farmers who experienced firsthand just how complicated organic certification can be.

After developing one of the most organized farm systems inspectors had ever seen, they realized something:
the problem wasn’t the farmers — it was the system.

So they built a better one.

We dive into:

• Why organic certification feels overwhelming (even for experienced farmers)
• The real problem with Organic System Plans (OSPs)
• Why the current system is compared to “every CPA having different tax forms”
• How farmers are wasting time on unnecessary documentation
• The biggest mistakes ag software companies make (and why farmers stop using them)
• What makes technology actually stick on the farm
• How Quick Organics simplifies year-round certification tracking
• Why traceability and digital records will matter even more in the future

We also explore how simplifying certification doesn’t just save time — it creates better decision-making, stronger records, and long-term farm value.

Because at the end of the day, farmers don’t want to be data entry clerks.
They want to farm.

And the operations that win in the future will be the ones that can prove what they’re doing — without drowning in paperwork.

The paperwork is.

Visit quickorganics.com to learn more!

In this episode of the Farm4Profit Podcast, we sit down with the team behind Quick Organics — a platform built by farmers who experienced firsthand just how complicated organic certification can be.

After developing one of the most organized farm systems inspectors had ever seen, they realized something:
the problem wasn’t the farmers — it was the system.

So they built a better one.

We dive into:

• Why organic certification feels overwhelming (even for experienced farmers)
• The real problem with Organic System Plans (OSPs)
• Why the current system is compared to “every CPA having different tax forms”
• How farmers are wasting time on unnecessary documentation
• The biggest mistakes ag software companies make (and why farmers stop using them)
• What makes technology actually stick on the farm
• How Quick Organics simplifies year-round certification tracking
• Why traceability and digital records will matter even more in the future

We also explore how simplifying certification doesn’t just save time — it creates better decision-making, stronger records, and long-term farm value.

Because at the end of the day, farmers don’t want to be data entry clerks.
They want to farm.

And the operations that win in the future will be the ones that can prove what they’re doing — without drowning in paperwork.

The Pendletons are living it. - brought you to by Amrbook.  Learn more at www.ambrook.com

In this Farm4Fun episode, we sit down with Kevin and Amanda Pendleton, a father-daughter duo farming 1,200 acres of corn and soybeans in Northwest Indiana while also running a successful crop insurance and risk management business.

Kevin is a third-generation farmer with 37 years of farming experience and more than three decades in crop insurance. After his father retired in 2023, Kevin stepped fully into the role of managing and operating the family farm, focusing heavily on financials, ROI, and maximizing profitability per acre.

Amanda represents the fourth generation, graduating from Purdue University in 2025 with a degree in Agronomy. While she grew up around the farm, it was the pandemic that gave her the chance to work alongside her dad daily, ultimately leading her to pursue agriculture professionally.

Now the two are working side-by-side, balancing:

• A row crop operation
• A crop insurance agency
• Risk management consulting for other farmers

💻 Farm Financials & Ambrook

In the second half of the episode, we also talk about how tools like Ambrook are helping farmers better track their finances, organize records, and make clearer business decisions.

Because if you don’t know your numbers, it’s almost impossible to manage risk, understand profitability, or build a long-term strategy.

👑 Fun Moments

We also get into some fun conversation about Amanda’s experience being crowned Miss Tippecanoe County 4-H Queen in 2021, and how that journey helped build confidence and leadership skills that carry into agriculture today.

This episode is a great look at generational farming, family partnerships, and the financial mindset needed to succeed in modern agriculture.

But making the wrong decision on a parcel can cost years of profitability.

In this What’s Working in Ag segment, Tanner sits down with Daniel English, General Manager of FBN Financial, to talk about tools that help farmers evaluate land opportunities faster and make smarter financial decisions.

Daniel has been with Farmers Business Network (FBN) for more than eight years and oversees the company’s lending, brokerage, and risk management groups.

We discuss AcreVision, a digital tool designed to help farmers evaluate potential farmland quickly by providing insights such as:

• Cropping history
• Percent of tillable acres
• Soil types and productivity
• Field-level data to support fast decision-making

Instead of relying solely on coffee shop rumors or secondhand information, farmers can quickly verify whether a piece of land fits their operation and budget.

We also talk about how FBN Finance helps streamline the lending process with:

• Digital pre-qualification tools
• Experienced loan advisors with 15+ years in ag finance
• Faster approval timelines
• Flexible loan structures tailored to farm operations

The conversation also touches on current interest rate trends and how refinancing opportunities could help farmers reduce borrowing costs.

With tighter margins across agriculture, lowering interest costs can be one of the few financial decisions that directly improves the bottom line without adding risk.

The water in the tank.

In this episode of Farm4Profit, we sit down with AGX to discuss how water quality and adjuvants impact herbicide performance — and why many spray failures have nothing to do with resistance or product choice.

Because the reality is, You’re mostly spraying water, not chemical.

And if that water isn’t conditioned properly, your herbicide may be neutralized before it even reaches the weed.

We break down the chemistry happening inside the spray tank.

💧 Why Water Quality Matters

• Roughly 90–95% of your spray tank is water
• Many growers have never tested their spray water
• Hard water minerals like calcium and magnesium can bind with herbicides like glyphosate
• Once herbicide binds to these ions, the reaction cannot be reversed

⚗️ What Happens in the Spray Tank

• What “hard water” actually means
• How calcium and magnesium deactivate herbicides
• Why spray water pH matters
• What alkaline hydrolysis is and why it can degrade chemistry quickly
• Why herbicide effectiveness can decline while you’re driving to the field

🧪 The Correct Mixing Order

Many spray issues come from simply mixing products in the wrong order.

The correct order should be:

Water

Water conditioner / AMS / buffering agent

Herbicides

Surfactants or crop oils

Drift reduction products

If herbicide goes into bad water first, it can bind immediately and lose effectiveness.

🌱 Understanding Adjuvants

• What adjuvants actually do
• The difference between surfactants, oils, buffers, and water conditioners
• Why glyphosate specifically requires conditioning
• The role of ammonium sulfate (AMS)
• Why dry AMS sometimes fails to solve the problem

💰 The Economics of Water Conditioning

We also compare the real costs:

• The cheap cost of conditioning water
• The expense of re-spraying fields
• The yield loss from surviving weeds

And we discuss an uncomfortable truth:

Some weeds labeled as “resistant” may actually be survivors of poor spray applications caused by water chemistry.

Proper adjuvant use and water conditioning can improve herbicide performance, reduce re-sprays, and potentially lower overall chemical usage.

Sometimes the cheapest yield protection available isn’t another chemical.

What makes their story unique is that neither of them grew up directly involved in production agriculture.

Lauryn grew up riding horses with family ties to the Kentucky racehorse industry, while Colin spent time helping friends on local tobacco farms before developing a deeper interest in cattle production.

After getting married in October 2024, the couple planned to build their first farm from the ground up. But when the right opportunity appeared, they made a bold move — purchasing a farm and downsizing their home to make the operation work.

Today they’re renovating the property while growing a commercial cattle and hay business.

More farmers across the Midwest are pushing planting dates earlier in the season to capture longer growing seasons, improved yield potential, and better crop development.

In this episode of Farm4Profit, we sit down with Eric Sherder from Corteva to talk about why early soybean planting is gaining momentum and how new genetics and herbicide systems are helping farmers manage the risks.

We discuss:

🌱 Why Early Soybean Planting Works

• Longer growing seasons and higher yield potential
• How long summer days improve plant development
• The impact on pod formation and seed fill
• Avoiding late-season stress from heat and drought
• Regional considerations and soil conditions

⚠️ Managing the Risks

• Cold stress concerns when planting early
• Early-season diseases and pest pressure
• Insects and nematodes that can threaten early stands
• Strategies farmers use to protect young soybean plants

🧪 The Role of Seed Treatments

• How treatments help protect against early-season diseases
• Improving emergence and stand establishment in cool soils
• Reducing later-season pest pressure
• Saving time and reducing the need for additional crop protection passes

🌿 Enlist® Soybean Technology

• What makes the Enlist® system different from conventional soybean platforms
• Herbicide flexibility with 2,4-D choline, glyphosate, and glufosinate
• Multiple modes of action to tackle tougher weed challenges
• Extended application windows from pre-plant through post-emergence
• How Enlist soybeans fit into modern integrated weed management programs

In this episode of Farm4Profit, we sit down with Jesse and Alex — the Lampley Brothers, Middle Tennessee farmers who are building their operation the hard way.

They raise:
• Beef cattle
• Hay
• Row crops

And they do it while maintaining full-time off-farm careers.

What started in 2021 as funny, relatable farm memes quickly grew into a serious social media presence across Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube — connecting with tens of thousands of farmers who see themselves in the grind.

🐂 The Operation

• How they split responsibilities
• What their cow-calf program looks like
• How they make breeding and genetics decisions
• What crops and hay they’re growing
• Fertility strategy and soil health approach
• Equipment decisions — repair vs. replace
• What technology has actually improved efficiency
• The numbers they track most closely
• How they budget operating expenses year over year

🕔 Farming With Full-Time Jobs

• Why off-farm income has been necessary
• The reality of balancing careers, husbands, fathers, and farmers
• What happens when an off-farm job disappears
• Advice for young producers growing their farm after hours

📱 Social Media & Brand Growth

• Why they decided to hit “post” in 2021
• Why humor and relatability win
• Which platform surprised them most
• How they balance comedy with the real stress of agriculture
• Their long-term vision for Lampley Brothers Farming

This episode hits home for a lot of producers.  Because the truth is, many modern farms are built in the evenings. On weekends. With sweat equity.

The Lampley Brothers represent a new wave of agriculture — hardworking, transparent, and willing to show both the wins and the struggle.

If you’ve ever farmed after punching a time clock… this one’s for you.

Margins are tight.
Interest rates are elevated.
Commodity prices have softened.
Input costs remain stubbornly high.

So what are lenders actually seeing?

We break down:

📉 The 2026 Farm Economy

• Are we in a “pause and survive” cycle — or a full reset?
• How higher interest rates have reshaped farm finance
• Liquidity tightening despite strong equity positions
• Commodity softness vs. sticky cost structures
• Borrower uncertainty and delayed decision-making

📊 What Underwriters Are Watching Closely

• Working capital burn rate
• Carryover operating debt
• Term debt stacking
• Equipment values softening
• Land values stabilizing — and adjusting in some regions
• Inventory positioning shifts
• Early warning signs of liquidity stress

We also ask the big question:

Are farms still strong on paper — but tight on cash?

🏦 Smart Restructuring vs. Desperation

AgFi shares insight into a 3–5 year interest-only loan product designed to help producers shore up working capital without panicking.

• Who is the ideal fit?
• What problem does it actually solve?
• When does restructure make sense — and when is it too late?
• What separates proactive operators from reactive ones?

This conversation is real. It’s candid. And it’s exactly what producers need to hear in a margin-compression cycle.

Because in times like this, clarity beats comfort.

That simple idea would become the foundation of Art’s Way Manufacturing — a company that has weathered decades of ag cycles, market volatility, and industry consolidation.

Today, Art’s Way employs approximately 120–150 people across facilities in Armstrong and Monona, Iowa, producing specialized agricultural equipment designed to fill niche operational needs.

In this anniversary episode, we explore:

🏗 Company History & Evolution

• How Art’s Way grew from a farm-built grinder mixer into a publicly traded manufacturer
• Why niche markets became their strategic advantage
• How independent dealer networks have remained central to their model
• What it takes to survive nearly 70 years in agriculture

🚜 Product Lines & Innovation

• Grinder mixers and feed processing equipment
• Bale processors and hay tools (Miller Pro & Badger acquisitions)
• Sugar beet harvesters and defoliators
• Manure spreaders, land graders, land planes
• Portable grain augers
• Combine and swather reels (Universal Harvester integration)
• Modular buildings division — a key stabilizer during ag downturns
• Tools and scientific divisions

We also talk about:

• How demand softness and inventory challenges have impacted equipment manufacturers
• Why modular building growth has helped balance agricultural equipment fluctuations
• The role of dealer strategy and committed niche-focused partners

Joining the conversation is Jim Cronk, Inside Sales Representative at Art’s Way.

Jim and his wife Shelby continue to farm a row crop and cow-calf operation while he works full-time in ag equipment sales — giving him firsthand insight into what today’s producers actually need.

This episode isn’t just about celebrating an anniversary.

It’s about resilience. It’s about specialization over scale. And it’s about what it takes to manufacture ag equipment in a world of consolidation, volatility, and rapid change.

Because sometimes the companies that last the longest are the ones that stay closest to the farmer.

They’re wrong.

The Research & Development tax credit has been around since 1981 — originally built to encourage innovation. Over the decades, it has become more taxpayer-friendly and more accessible… but still incredibly underutilized in agriculture.

In this episode, we talk with Onshore, a tax technology company founded in 2020.

Joining us:
• Tim Taschner – Midwest native who grew up around ADM, now leading agricultural R&D tax credit case studies
• Dominic Vitucci – CEO with a background in accounting and computer science, blending tax expertise with automation

We break down:

• What the R&D tax credit actually is
• The history behind it and how it evolved
• What qualifies in agriculture (farming, livestock, food processing)
• Why testing new hybrids, chemistries, feed strategies, or processes may qualify
• How AI now automates roughly 80% of the documentation process
• What “audit-ready documentation” actually means
• The difference between deductions and credits
• What happens if you haven’t paid taxes yet
• How credits can carry back or forward
• Why cost segregation and 179D deductions also matter

Onshore’s mission is simple:

Turn tax incentives from a confusing compliance burden into a strategic advantage.

Instead of spending weeks building documentation manually, their software integrates with enterprise systems, processes data quickly, and delivers clean, audit-ready support — including free audit defense.

In today’s tight-margin environment, producers and agribusinesses can’t afford to overlook legitimate credits.

If you operate:
• 800+ acres
• Livestock operations
• Food processing
• Agribusiness support companies
• Or any operation testing improvements

This conversation could directly impact your bottom line.

Because the smartest operators don’t just grow crops.

]]> R&D Tax Credits for Farmers and Ranchers Onshore 01:14:28 The R&D tax credit has existed since 1981 and agriculture is finally catching up. In this episode, we sit down with the team at Onshore to break down how tax incentives are becoming a strategic advantage for ag businesses. The R&D tax credit has existed since 1981 and agriculture is finally catching up. In this episode, we sit down with the team at Onshore to break down how tax incentives are becoming a strategic advantage for ag businesses. false full 578 c513d32b-21ae-45f7-a78f-8b7f570b5325 Big Tax Move Most Farmers & Ranchers Ignore: R & D Tax Credits Most farmers think tax credits are for tech companies and laboratories.

They’re wrong.

The Research & Development tax credit has been around since 1981 — originally built to encourage innovation. Over the decades, it has become more taxpayer-friendly and more accessible… but still incredibly underutilized in agriculture.

In this episode, we talk with Onshore, a tax technology company founded in 2020.

Joining us:
• Tim Taschner – Midwest native who grew up around ADM, now leading agricultural R&D tax credit case studies
• Dominic Vitucci – CEO with a background in accounting and computer science, blending tax expertise with automation

We break down:

• What the R&D tax credit actually is
• The history behind it and how it evolved
• What qualifies in agriculture (farming, livestock, food processing)
• Why testing new hybrids, chemistries, feed strategies, or processes may qualify
• How AI now automates roughly 80% of the documentation process
• What “audit-ready documentation” actually means
• The difference between deductions and credits
• What happens if you haven’t paid taxes yet
• How credits can carry back or forward
• Why cost segregation and 179D deductions also matter

Onshore’s mission is simple:

Turn tax incentives from a confusing compliance burden into a strategic advantage.

Instead of spending weeks building documentation manually, their software integrates with enterprise systems, processes data quickly, and delivers clean, audit-ready support — including free audit defense.

In today’s tight-margin environment, producers and agribusinesses can’t afford to overlook legitimate credits.

If you operate:
• 800+ acres
• Livestock operations
• Food processing
• Agribusiness support companies
• Or any operation testing improvements

This conversation could directly impact your bottom line.

Because the smartest operators don’t just grow crops.

But here’s the twist:

Cody and Erika Archie didn’t grow up ranching.

They’re first-generation ranchers who built their life from the ground up — raising beef cattle and Dorper sheep while raising their two kids, Kylee and Clancy, right alongside them.

And then… one random TikTok changed everything.

A single video launched them into viral fame, building an audience of millions across TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. What started as documenting real ranch life turned into a full-blown social media empire for agriculture education.

In this episode, we unpack:

• How two first-generation ranchers built Bar 7 from scratch
• The viral moment that exploded their online following
• What it’s really like running a ranch while running massive social channels
• The business behind the brand — merch, direct beef sales, rental properties, spec homes, and Valet Cleaners & Laundry
• How they balance content creation with real cattle work
• Dealing with criticism, online hate, and even death threats
• Why faith plays a central role in their ranch and family life
• Their carnivore health journey and lifestyle choices
• What modern ranching looks like in a digital-first world

The Archies represent something bigger happening in agriculture:

Old industries adapting to new platforms.

Traditional ranch work meeting modern storytelling.

And producers realizing that education, transparency, and personality matter more than ever.

In this What’s Working in Ag segment, the Farm4Profit team tees up one of the most impactful conversations we’ve had all year: Research & Development tax credits for farmers.

We sit down briefly with Dom and Tim from Onshore to explain—quickly and clearly—why this long-standing tax credit now applies to modern farming practices, not just labs and patents. From testing new hybrids and fertility programs to improving efficiency and yield, many farmers are already doing qualifying activities without realizing it.

Here’s what’s at stake:

A 2,000-acre corn and soybean operation could potentially unlock $100,000 or more

Credits can offset current taxes, refund taxes paid in the last four years, or carry forward up to 20 years

Unlike deductions, tax credits are dollar-for-dollar—$100,000 is actually $100,000

We break down:

What “research and development” really means in farming

Why this credit has become more farmer-friendly over time

The difference between deductions and credits (and why it matters now)

Who should be paying attention heading into 2026

This episode is intentionally short and to the point—but it’s also a preview. The full, deep-dive conversation drops next week, and if you’re farming in today’s margin environment, it’s one you don’t want to skip.

Founded in 2015 in Ames, Iowa, acquired by Zoetis in 2020, and then returning to independence in 2023, Performance Livestock Analytics has grown into a platform trusted by over 4,000 producers, managing more than 5 million head of cattle, with an incredible 96% retention rate.

We break down:

• What a true “Producer Ecosystem” looks like
• Why relationships between producers, advisors, nutritionists, bankers, and partners matter more than ever
• How digital feed management helps track rations, delivery, and inventory in real time
• The importance of automatic cost-of-gain tracking — and why guessing can cost you thousands
• Health and treatment logging that’s mobile and simple
• Marketing tools that prepare you before buyers ever show up
• Seamless integrations with Bluetooth scales, feed trucks, and QuickBooks
• How Cattle Krush pulls real-time CBOT data to calculate live breakevens at auction

And we tackle the bigger picture:

In today’s environment, profitability isn’t just about working harder — it’s about having better information.

When your dashboard shows cost of gain, projected profit, market swings, and feed efficiency all in one place, decisions get clearer.

Tom shares the story behind the SUMBITCH Tractor Show (Some Unique Machines Brought In To Commemorate History), an annual August event hosted on his family’s farm that now draws visitors from across the U.S. — and even internationally. What began in 2018 as a small idea has grown into a show featuring 150+ tractors, tractor rides, hay rides, live music, food, and a mission much bigger than machinery.

The show raises money to support the fight against Alzheimer’s disease, a cause close to Tom’s heart after his father-in-law battled the disease. In 2024 alone, the event raised over $40,000, proving that agriculture still has the power to bring people together for something bigger than itself.

We also dive into:

Tom’s journey as a first-generation farmer, starting independently in 2010

What it’s really like farming corn, wheat, rye, black beans, and pumpkins in New York

Why old iron still matters — including shelling corn with a 3-row picker and running classic John Deere equipment

The growth of his “The Way We Farm” YouTube channel and why showing real farming still resonates

How social media helped connect a small farm to a global audience

Why preserving ag history matters just as much as adopting new technology

This episode is about more than tractors. It’s about honoring where agriculture came from, sharing real farm life, and using your platform — no matter how small it starts — to make a real impact.

In this episode of the Farm4Profit Podcast, we welcome Todd Drake, CEO of Balance4Ward — a company dedicated to helping cattle feeders break out of the “daily grind” and build intentional, profitable, and sustainable operations. Balance4Ward is built on decades of real-world cattle feeding experience and a mission to empower producers with both strategy and execution.

Todd shares:

Balance4Ward’s origin story — how hands-on cattle feeding experience led to solutions for mid-market feeders rather than generic advice.

Why traditional cattle feeding models leave producers chasing short-term wins instead of building long-term strength.

How the company developed Cattle Business Systems — a transparent, coaching-based approach where producers have access to expert guidance, custom planning, and monthly check-ins.

What practical value advisory and coaching adds — from back office clarity to production decisions that preserve margins and unlock profit potential.

Why Balance4Ward combines data, people, and experience into a system that lets feeders call the shots, rather than follow generic prescription models.

The evolution of the company into feed delivery, ration formulation, onsite consulting, blended feed, and strategic coaching designed to help operations compete with the biggest players.

Whether you’re an established feeder or a producer looking to scale smarter, Todd’s insights show why a systematic, coachable approach — not guesswork — is what it takes to thrive long-term.

We dig into:

Why agricultural crime is surging across the U.S.

What thieves are stealing most — and why farms are uniquely vulnerable

The true cost of theft beyond scrap value (downtime, crop loss, repairs, and missed irrigation)

Why traditional tools like trail cameras and motion lights often fail in remote areas

How new technology is shifting security from reactive to proactive

Bobby also shares how real-time theft detection systems like COP-R-LOCK can pinpoint theft instantly, trigger on-site alarms, and provide alerts fast enough to actually stop criminals before the damage is done.

With repair costs ranging from $20,000 to $90,000, this conversation is about more than stolen copper — it’s about protecting your farm’s productivity, infrastructure, and long-term resilience.

After earning degrees in Ag Business and Ag Economics and spending over a decade in ag finance, Lance reached a breaking point. Despite good intentions, he realized the system wasn’t built to serve farmers the way they thought it was.

We dig into:

The moment Lance said, “I can’t do this anymore as a banker”

Why loan officers don’t always have your back in loan committee meetings

Red flags in both farm financials and bank relationships

Why balance sheets, cash flow, and production knowledge must align

The danger of confusing bank renewals with actual profitability

How farmers can start thinking — and operating — like CEOs of multimillion-dollar businesses

What Legacy Farmer does differently to help producers build clarity, structure, and long-term resilience

This episode challenges farmers to take ownership of their numbers, their leadership role, and their future — because the bank will always protect its own interests, but your farm needs someone protecting yours.

Agris Academy is hosting a 2026 Winter Workshop on Merchandising and Futures Risk Management on February 19th in Baltic, South Dakota, with both in-person and online options available. What makes this workshop stand out is what it doesn’t promise.

This session focuses on:

Teaching real merchandising skills farmers can use immediately

Sharing practical “tricks of the trade” from professional risk managers

Helping producers build repeatable systems, not one-off trades

Creating skills that become a permanent asset to a farm or business

What it won’t do:

Predict market direction

Push trading strategies

React to daily headlines

In a year where volatility, tight margins, and uncertainty continue to dominate agriculture, farmers are realizing that better decisions come from better understanding — not better guesses.

This short segment explains why educational workshops like this are gaining momentum, why farmers are choosing to attend in person, and how developing merchandising discipline can change how farms manage risk long-term.

Ken brings decades of experience from both John Deere and crop insurance, helping producers understand how to build smarter protection strategies.

We break down:

The current financial environment farmers are facing

How crop insurance, FSA programs, and disaster relief work together

What’s changed under the new USDA and RMA leadership

Key updates to ARC/PLC, base acres, reference prices, and SCO flexibility

New and expanded area coverage options like ECO, SCO, and MCO

Enhancements to the Beginning Farmer/Rancher program

Disaster programs like SDRP Phase 2 and the new Farmer Bridge Assistance (FBA) program

Why precision data is becoming critical for reporting, claims, and audits

Ken also shares practical advice for navigating these decisions without getting overwhelmed — including why working closely with a trusted crop insurance agent can help producers avoid missed opportunities.

With so many changes heading into 2026, this episode helps farmers step back, understand the big picture, and make intentional decisions that protect profitability.

Growing up just miles from the Farm4Profit studio and racing across Iowa

How his dad and Iowa racing connections launched his motorsports career

Winning races before he was old enough to legally drive

The discipline required to balance school, training, and full-time racing

Handling pressure, failure, and expectations at a young age

Lessons racing teaches that apply directly to farming and business

Endurance, mindset, and why he ran a marathon in 2025

Giving back through scholarships and community involvement

What’s next in his racing career

While Sammy’s world looks different than farming, the themes are the same: discipline, consistency, risk management, preparation, and performance under pressure. This episode bridges agriculture and motorsports through mindset—and shows why success at the highest levels always comes back to fundamentals.

This short, to-the-point conversation focuses on what’s actually working right now for producers who want better control of their numbers heading into 2026.

Hannah shares:

Why most farms struggle with knowing true profitability—even when yields look good

The difference between reactive bookkeeping and proactive financial planning

Why January is the best time to reset farm records (not December)

How forward-looking cash flow projections help with banker conversations and credit renewals

Why tracking inventory, enterprises, and allocations matters more than ever

How the best operators use simple systems to buy back time and peace of mind

Why clean, real-time numbers create better decisions when margins are tight

This episode isn’t about accounting theory or tax jargon. It’s about giving farmers clarity, confidence, and a system that helps them make better decisions—before it’s too late.

In this episode of the Farm4Profit Podcast, we sit down with Nate Belcher, a crop consultant, regenerative ag specialist, and longtime advocate for alternative ag business models. Nate shares his perspective on off-patent corn genetics, non-GMO seed options, and why more farmers are questioning the traditional seed system.

We discuss:

Nate’s background as a crop consultant and regenerative ag specialist

Why off-patent genetics are gaining traction with cost-conscious farmers

How non-GMO corn fits into modern cropping systems

The economics behind seed pricing once royalties and licensing fees are removed

Why many smaller seed companies are moving toward proven, off-patent traits

Advantages for farmers: lower costs, reduced financial risk, faster access to genetics

Trade-offs farmers should understand, including fewer trials and older genetics

How direct-to-farm distribution works without dealers or regional reps

Whether this model represents a niche option—or a broader shift in the seed industry

This conversation isn’t about selling seed—it’s about understanding the economics, the risks, and the opportunities farmers face as the seed industry continues to evolve.

Cody lives in Stanton, Iowa, and brings a unique mix of ag roots, technical experience, and creative talent to the Farm4Profit team. He grew up showing cattle, still helps run Vanderholm Cattle Company with his dad, and works closely with 4-H and FFA families selling Angus and Simmental breeding stock.

Before joining Farm4Profit, Cody built a diverse career across agriculture, equipment, precision ag, and marketing—including roles with Titan Machinery, HTS Ag, AlffCo, and more—while also growing his own business, Vanderholm Media.

In this episode, we cover:

Cody’s farming background and cattle operation

How showing livestock shaped his path into agriculture

His journey through ag sales, precision ag, and equipment roles

How Vanderholm Media got started and evolved

Photography, drone work, tractor pulls, air shows, and light painting

His passion for weather, travel, and capturing agriculture visually

What excites him most about joining the Farm4Profit team

This episode is part introduction, part behind-the-scenes, and part Farm4Fun—giving listeners a chance to get to know the person who’ll be helping shape the future of Farm4Profit content.

Welcome to the team, Cody—and welcome to the New Year.

Joe doesn’t sugarcoat the situation—and his perspective raises uncomfortable but necessary questions about the future of U.S. agriculture, especially pork production.

Joe explains why he believes the pork industry is on the brink of becoming “a serf to the packer,” tracing the roots back to the 1998 hog price collapse and the financial community’s push for mandatory packer contracts. The result? The negotiated cash market has collapsed from roughly 17% in 2002 to around 1% today, leaving producers without meaningful price discovery and shifting risk almost entirely onto the farm.

We also tackle the growing loss of faith in USDA reporting, including:

Corn yield overestimations that led to bad marketing decisions

The September 2024 hog supply miss that sent futures $20/head higher

Declining participation in USDA reports and what that means for accuracy

How flawed data distorts markets, hedging decisions, and producer confidence

But this episode isn’t just about problems—it’s about opportunity.

Joe outlines how producer-driven, anonymous data aggregation could flip the power dynamic back toward farmers. With enough participation, predictive analytics could unlock insights across genetics, nutrition, management, equipment, and animal health—turning farm data into a monetized advantage instead of a liability.

We also explore:

Why pork producers may actually be agriculture’s quiet sustainability success story

How efficiency gains from genetics and feed conversion are reshaping protein production

Why beef prices are likely to remain elevated—and why politics are missing the point

The hard reality behind renewable diesel, SAF, and global energy policy

What happens to independent producers if nothing changes

This is a candid, data-driven conversation about power, control, and survival in modern agriculture—and why the next decade may determine whether independence remains viable at all.

In this episode of the Farm4Profit Podcast, we’re joined by Garth Redifer, Vice President of Sales at Power Service, a third-generation, veteran-owned diesel additive manufacturer based in Weatherford, Texas. With 17 years of hands-on diesel technology experience, Garth has worked directly on innovations like diesel injector cleaning and DPF flush solutions — and has seen firsthand where engines fail and why.

We dig into:

Why modern diesel engines are more prone to injector deposits, regen issues, and power loss

What’s really happening inside your fuel system, turbo, EGR, and DPF

Why excessive DPF regens cost you fuel, time, and engine life

How a one-tank diesel treatment can clean the entire fuel system — not just injectors

What REGENEXTEND™ technology does and how it can cut regen frequency by up to 50%

The difference between “band-aid” fuel additives and science-backed solutions

Why preventive maintenance is cheaper than waiting for warning lights and downtime

Garth also shares insights from working with truckers, farmers, logging crews, and fleets across North America — and explains why diesel fuel quality and maintenance matter more now than ever.

Whether you’re running a pickup, tractor, combine, semi, or full fleet, this episode will help you understand how to protect performance, extend engine life, and keep more money in your pocket.

Tristan is a sixth-generation dairy producer in Wisconsin who believes real farming doesn’t need filters, polish, or permission. Farming on his own for more than a decade, Tristan relies heavily on 30+ year-old equipment, practices old-school animal care, and openly questions whether “modern” always means “better.”

In this episode, Tristan shares:

Growing up in a multi-species livestock operation and starting farm work at age four

Why his family exited the dairy industry in the 1990s — and why he came back

Leaving home at 17 to work on a custom wheat harvest crew and becoming a crew leader at 18

His return to Wisconsin and building a farm on his own terms

Why he leaves calves with their mothers and how it impacts herd health and behavior

Milking alternative breeds like Gyr cows and experimenting outside the mainstream

Maintaining a “retirement pasture” for cows he refuses to sell simply because production drops

Why authenticity — not perfection — is what connects people to agriculture

We also dig into the explosive growth of Doing It Wrong Dairy on social media, where Tristan’s honest, sometimes controversial content has resonated with hundreds of thousands of viewers who want to see the real side of farming — not a highlight reel.

And that shift has put agriculture squarely into the Top 10 most-targeted industries for cyberattacks.

In this episode, we sit down with Chris Sherman, founder of TechSupport.Farm, who specializes in helping farmers and ag businesses protect their operations from online threats. Chris breaks down why farms are becoming major hacker targets, the attacks he sees most often, and the simple ways producers can safeguard their data, their money, and their equipment.

We explore real farm-level risks such as:

Phishing emails disguised as invoices, USDA notices, or dealer updates

Ransomware that locks up grain software, field maps, GPS data, or entire farm servers

Extortion scams demanding bitcoin

Attempts to infiltrate connected systems like grain dryers, feed mills, and irrigation controls

Chris explains where farm data actually lives — on equipment, in cloud systems, or in software platforms — and what farmers need to understand about data ownership, platform security, and privacy.

Then we move into practical, easy-to-apply cybersecurity steps every farm can start today:

Creating strong password policies (12+ characters)

Using password managers

Turning on two-factor authentication

Upgrading email security with spam and phishing filters

Separating home WiFi from business and equipment WiFi

Tracking who has login access

Keeping offline backups of critical files

Training your family and employees to spot digital red flags

Chris also shares real-world stories from farms he’s helped — the scams that worked, the ones that were caught in time, and the mistakes he sees repeated across operations of all sizes.

Whether you run a large operation or a small family farm, cybersecurity is now part of running the business. This episode will help you protect what you’ve built, stay ahead of threats, and keep hackers out of your data, your money, and your equipment.

We explore how the farm began in 1943 as a small grist mill — and over 80 years and four generations later has grown into one of the largest private-label and specialty-egg producers on the East Coast, with a robust feed mill and diverse operations. 

Trey shares how he started working on the farm in high school — sweeping floors, unloading rail cars, maintaining mill bins — and later earned a business degree to come back with new ideas.

We talk about major milestones under his leadership: building new pullet and layer houses, launching pasture-raised organic egg production, rebranding to Braswell Family Farms (formerly Braswell Foods), and embedding a culture guided by faith and stewardship. 

But more than facilities and production, we dig into values: how he works to make employees feel like family, establishes a “Stewardship Team,” and leads with a mission rooted in integrity, humility, and service. 

Expect stories — the earliest years, the tough decisions, the vision for organic and cage-free eggs, and what it really means to manage a 4-generation farm business in 2025. All with the honesty and warmth of a conversation on the porch.

Whether you’re a young farmer, seasoned producer, or just curious where your eggs come from, this episode offers a real glimpse into values-driven agriculture, family legacy, and the hard work behind every carton.

Brad walks us through the major trends he saw at harvest: disease pressure that showed up across multiple regions, waterhemp surges creeping from edge to row, and early-season conditions that made crop protection decisions more important than ever.

We highlight the biggest “wins” of 2025, including real-world in-field results:

• Forcivo™ fungicide:
High pressure meant fungicide performance mattered. Brad shares field trial results — including one Iowa farm where combining Forcivo with Aproach® Prima delivered 49 bu/A more than untreated acres.

• Resicore® REV & Kyro™ herbicides:
Farmers leaned on flexible application windows, strong tank-mix compatibility, and long-lasting residuals. Brad shares how an Iowa grower again achieved 8 weeks of waterhemp residual with encapsulated acetochlor in Resicore REV.

• Enversa™, Sonic® Boom & Kyber® Pro soy herbicides:
Farmers needed solutions beyond dicamba. Brad highlights how Enversa and Enlist One® helped a Nebraska farm eliminate pigweed pressure — and how Sonic Boom and Kyber Pro performed with consistent, broad-spectrum activity and flexible timing up to V4/V5.

• Tolvera® herbicide for cereals:
A rare new active ingredient hit the market in 2025 — and cereal growers embraced it. Brad shares a Montana farm’s success controlling kochia, narrowleaf hawksbeard and wild buckwheat while maintaining strong rotation flexibility.

We close with actionable 2026 planning steps, including mapping problem areas, updating weed control programs, and using 2025 performance insights to maximize ROI next season.

We sit down with Tom Mangan, Sukup Manufacturing’s incoming CEO and the first non-family executive to hold the role in the company’s history. Tom’s background spans Fareway Stores, Endicott Clay Products, Deloitte Tax, and, since 2020, serving as Sukup’s CFO. Beginning in October 2025, he’ll step into the CEO role with Hank Norem transitioning back into the CFO seat to support the change.

Tom shares his journey from Iowa State accounting major and CPA to guiding one of ag’s most innovative, global, family-rooted brands. We explore the challenges and advantages of stepping into leadership in a multi-generational family company — from building trust, honoring legacy, and collaborating with family stakeholders to introducing new systems, tech, and approaches.

Listeners will gain insight into how non-family leaders can thrive in family-owned operations, how to create alignment across teams, and how to balance culture, performance, and long-term vision. Tom breaks down his collaborative leadership philosophy, the lessons he’s learned, and the strategies he believes matter for both large manufacturers and family farms alike.

We’re joined by two ag-focused CPAs: Mackenzie Sprain from LattaHarris and Hannah Mann from Pioneer Accounting LLC. One brings deep ag tax expertise, the other specializes in helping farmers build cleaner records and better financial visibility — together, they give producers a complete roadmap for winning tax season before it starts.

We open with an honest look at the 2025 tax landscape: inflation pressures, high interest rates, shifting policy environments, and the growing relevance of tools like Section 180 deductions, R&D credits, conservation program rules, CRP tax treatment, and more. Mackenzie and Hannah outline how year-round planning beats last-minute spending — and why quarterly conversations with your accountant can save thousands.

From there, we dig into the power of modern recordkeeping. Tools like Ambrook allow producers to tag expenses by enterprise, monitor breakevens in real time, organize receipts, and make equipment or land decisions with clarity instead of guesswork. The CPAs share real stories of farmers who uncovered hidden savings, improved profitability, or avoided costly mistakes simply by keeping organized, digital records.

We also cover common mistakes farmers make — outdated depreciation schedules, misclassified wages, partnership changes not reported, misunderstood conservation payments, or relying on handshake agreements without tax implications in mind. Mackenzie and Hannah walk through the opportunities available for 2025: Section 179 planning, bonus depreciation limits, energy tax credits, R&D credits for agronomy trials, and strategies to minimize interest-driven tax impacts.

We close with actionable takeaways: start early, track continuously, communicate often, and use technology to transform tax planning from compliance into strategy. If you want to reduce stress, avoid surprises, and make tax season another profit tool for your operation, this episode is packed with practical, CPA-approved guidance you can apply immediately.

Tork is a 5th-generation Iowa farmer who returned to hog production after time in construction and sales, and Sawyer is a 6th-generation farmer who jumped straight into farming full-time after high school. Together, they run a transparent hog and row-crop operation centered around their brand promise: “Show people where their food comes from.”

We talk about the journey behind BarnTalk, how their follower count has doubled (or tripled) since we last recorded together, and what changes they’ve made in how they film, tell stories, and build community online. They share the mission behind Farmer Grade, the direct-to-consumer meat company sourcing from creators like Sonne Farms, Lightning Cattle Co., Hilbert Farms, Peterson Farm Bros, and others — bringing high-quality protein with a story straight to consumers.

Then we dive into the fun stuff:
• A Thanksgiving snake draft of must-have foods
• Their most non-traditional Thanksgiving dishes
• A holiday lightning round covering turkey vs ham, favorite sides, who’s most likely to fall asleep after dinner, favorite holiday movies, family traditions, gifts, and plenty more

We also explore deeper topics — what fame has taught them about success, what they choose not to share online, childhood stories from the farm, and how Sawyer pushed through the moments he questioned his path.

A high-energy mix of storytelling, humor, transparency, and farm-family holiday chaos — just the way Thanksgiving should be.

Jim specializes in farmland transactions, partitions, entity structuring, asset protection, private equity financing, and complex mediations — all areas that directly impact farmers, ranchers, and multigenerational family operations.

Jim shares how he got started in real estate law, what drew him into agriculture, and how his experience shaped the launch of his firm. Throughout the episode, we explore the world of agricultural real estate and what makes it dramatically different from standard real estate — from zoning and water rights to mineral rights, easements, conservation programs, and estate structures that protect family assets.

We dive into the most common mistakes farmers make in land deals, including red flags in purchase agreements, title issues, unclear access easements, handshake agreements that go bad, and how the right contract language can prevent major financial and legal problems. Jim discusses best practices in leases, seller financing, buy/sell agreements, and entity formation, along with how farmers can use LLCs or family partnerships to protect land for future generations.

This conversation also highlights the importance of having the right team of legal and financial advisors — including partners like Boa Safra — so farmers can grow smarter, reduce risk, and preserve their legacy.

We wrap up with fun questions like Jim’s favorite piece of land he’s ever seen, what law he’d change for producers, and the career he’d pursue if he weren’t an attorney.

A practical, eye-opening episode for anyone owning, renting, purchasing, or planning for the future of farmland.

Today we’re joined by Emerson King, the young Western Kentucky farmer behind the fast-growing online brand Adventures of Farmer King. Emerson operates a full-time row crop farm paired with six large broiler chicken houses, raising thousands of birds while producing corn, soybeans, wheat, and more.

What started as a simple idea to show real farm life has grown into a respected and relatable platform across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook—and now AcresTV. Emerson has become known for his authenticity, humor, and willingness to show the tough, dirty, and meaningful parts of agriculture that most people never get to see.

In this episode, Emerson shares:
• How he got started in farming and what his operation looks like today
• Why he first picked up a camera and how his content evolved
• The realities of raising broilers while filming daily work
• What he’s learned about non-farmer perceptions of agriculture
• The biggest misconceptions viewers have about poultry and row crops
• How social media became a tool for advocacy and education
• His experience joining AcresTV and reaching a bigger rural audience
• Where he hopes Adventures of Farmer King grows next

This is an honest, down-to-earth conversation with a young producer working hard, telling the truth, and helping bridge the gap between farming and the public.

Jace Young, CEO of Legacy Farmer, joins the hosts to share how he helps farmers move from “organized chaos” to truly structured, profitable, and sustainable businesses.

He lays out the five most common pitfalls holding family farms back — micromanaging, centralized decision-making, lack of training, absence of core values, and neglecting personal well-being — and explains how each one quietly erodes profitability, family relationships, and long-term success.

Listeners will learn how Jace’s Legacy Farmer System simplifies farm finances, empowers next-generation leaders, and builds confidence in daily decision-making. From financial tracking to leadership development, Jace emphasizes that the most successful farms today are the ones mastering their numbers and their systems, not just their yields.

The conversation wraps with practical advice for any producer wanting to protect their legacy — and a few truths about why taking care of yourself might just be the best business decision you can make.

If you’ve ever felt buried by paperwork, overwhelmed by management decisions, or unsure how to prepare your farm for the next generation — this episode is your blueprint to start fixing it.

Greg shares the story behind launching their first viral video in 2012, the family’s passion for using humor and music to educate the public, and how they balance content creation with the demands of a 1,000-head cattle operation and 2,500 acres of crops. The brothers open up about their family’s multi-generational legacy, their faith, and how opening their farm to the public has built a bridge between rural life and urban audiences.

Listeners will also get a behind-the-scenes look at their creative process, their latest projects like subsurface drip irrigation, and how they keep their message authentic while touring the country speaking at major ag events like Ag PhD Field Day, Farm Technology Days, and FFA conventions.

This conversation is a mix of inspiration, laughter, and lessons on using creativity to advocate for agriculture — while still making it home in time for chores.

In this Farm4Profit episode, the crew sits down with Randy Marcks, Sukup Steel Buildings expert, to discuss the evolution of steel structures in modern agriculture and how smart planning leads to stronger, more efficient operations.

Steel buildings aren’t just about durability—they’re about design precision, longevity, and adaptability. Randy walks us through Sukup’s building innovations—from I-beam structural corners and Galvalume+ steel panels, to factory-welded clips and pre-punched components that make installation faster and more accurate.

But before the first bolt goes in, Randy emphasizes what farmers should consider:

Future use planning: Think beyond today—design for changing equipment or livestock needs.

Size and layout: Bigger isn’t always better; right-sized buildings drive efficiency and cost control.

Site prep and foundation: Proper grading, compaction, and soil testing save years of drainage headaches.

Budgeting beyond the kit: Include labor, electrical, insulation, and ventilation.

Building codes & permits: Stay compliant and avoid costly rework.

Listeners will learn why steel buildings outperform wood—handling higher wind loads, resisting termites and rot, and maintaining clear spans up to 200 feet for wide, open workspaces. Sukup’s IAS AC472 accreditation ensures every building meets the highest quality and safety standards.

Randy also digs into why roof and wall panel design matter more than most people realize: mechanically rolled standing seams with a 360° Pittsburgh double-lock prevent leaks, and movable clips let panels expand and contract with temperature swings—protecting your investment from the elements for decades.

🧠 Key Takeaways

Plan with purpose — A smart build starts with site prep, future needs, and full-cost budgeting.

Steel wins the long game — Stronger spans, higher durability, no rot, and recyclable value at teardown.

Details matter — Panel design, insulation, and airflow determine building lifespan and comfort.

Sukup quality = Iowa pride — Family-owned innovation, automation, and precision manufacturing deliver farm-tough reliability.

Kyle, who pilots the #27 car for Andretti Global, shares his journey from a five-year-old discovering jet cars at Moroso Motorsports Park to standing on the podium at Long Beach and Bommarito in 2025.

We dive into Kyle’s personal story—his love for deep-sea fishing, surfing, and staying fit—and then turn toward the intersection of farming, fuel, and fast cars. The conversation highlights his partnership with Sukup Manufacturing and what it means to represent a company rooted in American agriculture at the Iowa Speedway, where corn isn’t just grown—it powers the race itself.

Topics Covered:

The Making of a Champion: How Kyle’s early karting success and Road to Indy dominance prepared him for the big leagues.

Inside Andretti Global: A look at the legendary team’s legacy, innovation, and culture of excellence.

Ag Meets IndyCar: The story behind Sukup’s sponsorship and why agricultural brands are increasingly visible in motorsports.

Ethanol Power: Kyle explains how E85 ethanol-based fuel enhances car performance and efficiency, and why it’s both a renewable and high-performance solution.

Shared Values: The parallels between racing and farming—precision, data-driven decision-making, and the pursuit of efficiency.

Future of the Sport: How technology, sustainability, and partnerships like Sukup’s are driving the next chapter of racing innovation.

Listeners get a unique peek into the mindset of a professional racer who’s not just chasing checkered flags, but also celebrating the partnership between the track and the tractor. Whether you’re a farmer, gearhead, or ethanol advocate, this episode connects the roar of the engine to the roots of rural America.

]]> Thu, 6 Nov 2025 06:00:00 +0000 farm4profitllc@gmail.com (Kyle Kirkwood, Sukup) https://intro-to-farm4profit.simplecast.com/episodes/farming-in-the-fast-lane-kyle-kirkwood-ags-connection-to-indycar-mM_rp7EV In this high-octane Farm4Profit episode, the team welcomes Kyle Kirkwood, one of the brightest young stars in the NTT INDYCAR Series, to explore how agriculture fuels racing’s future—literally. Kyle, who pilots the #27 car for Andretti Global, shares his journey from a five-year-old discovering jet cars at Moroso Motorsports Park to standing on the podium at Long Beach and Bommarito in 2025.

We dive into Kyle’s personal story—his love for deep-sea fishing, surfing, and staying fit—and then turn toward the intersection of farming, fuel, and fast cars. The conversation highlights his partnership with Sukup Manufacturing and what it means to represent a company rooted in American agriculture at the Iowa Speedway, where corn isn’t just grown—it powers the race itself.

Topics Covered:

The Making of a Champion: How Kyle’s early karting success and Road to Indy dominance prepared him for the big leagues.

Inside Andretti Global: A look at the legendary team’s legacy, innovation, and culture of excellence.

Ag Meets IndyCar: The story behind Sukup’s sponsorship and why agricultural brands are increasingly visible in motorsports.

Ethanol Power: Kyle explains how E85 ethanol-based fuel enhances car performance and efficiency, and why it’s both a renewable and high-performance solution.

Shared Values: The parallels between racing and farming—precision, data-driven decision-making, and the pursuit of efficiency.

Future of the Sport: How technology, sustainability, and partnerships like Sukup’s are driving the next chapter of racing innovation.

Listeners get a unique peek into the mindset of a professional racer who’s not just chasing checkered flags, but also celebrating the partnership between the track and the tractor. Whether you’re a farmer, gearhead, or ethanol advocate, this episode connects the roar of the engine to the roots of rural America.

Luke opens with a direct comparison to this time last year — sales volume, auction activity, and market strength — then drills into the big-picture factors shaping demand: bankruptcies and liquidations, dealership consolidation, macroeconomic drivers (interest rates and finance availability), and geopolitical influences like trade with China and global instability.

Key topics covered:

• Year-over-Year Market Snapshot — Did 2025 see more or fewer sales than 2024? Luke shares DPA’s internal data, highlights where activity has increased or slowed, and explains the seasonal rhythms buyers and sellers should expect.
• Who’s Selling & Who’s Buying — From operators and custom harvesters to dealerships, auction consignors, and investors — Luke outlines the typical seller and buyer profiles this year and how those groups have shifted.
• Dealership Consolidation — Are dealers consolidating inventory and market share? We discuss trends in dealer-to-dealer buying, trade-in flows, and how consolidation changes local market dynamics.
• Macro & Policy Influences — How (and whether) Farm Bill chatter, China relations, and the war in Ukraine filter into equipment pricing and buyer confidence. Luke explains which global headlines actually move markets and which mostly create noise.
• New Equipment vs. Used Market — What’s happening with new equipment demand, lead times, and ordering? Then, how that reverberates into the used market — which models are sought-after and which are being traded in.
• Hot Items & Laggards — Specific categories Luke sees strong demand for (e.g., certain sprayer platforms, high-horsepower tractors, specific planter or tillage technology) and what’s not moving (older, high-hours, or hard-to-service models). We call out examples like quad-tracks, JD 1000-series, specialty harvest equipment, and where buyer interest is concentrated.
• Seller Best Practices — When sellers do well, it’s rarely luck. Luke shares tactics that set successful sales apart: timing, pre-sale preparation, clear maintenance records, realistic reserves, and effective marketing.
• Advice for Buyers — Luke flips the script with actionable tips: where to find best deals, when to act, and how to evaluate lots to avoid costly surprises.
• Winter 2026 Outlook & Predictions — Closing with a forward look, Luke gives his educated read on what the winter market may bring, including expected demand shifts, pricing pressure zones, and what listeners should track between now and spring.

Grant Wiese joins the Farm4Profit crew to unpack how producers can manage risk, make data-backed marketing decisions, and plan for the future—even when margins are razor thin.

Listeners will hear how knowing your true cost of production can transform decision-making. Many farmers can quote a yield goal, but few know their exact breakeven per acre. Grant explains why that’s dangerous, especially when a small swing in grain price—say, $4.25 vs. $4.75 corn—can make or break profitability.

We explore:

What separates top-performing farms from the rest: discipline, review frequency, and financial clarity.

The tools and tactics that make cost tracking doable, not daunting—like Farm 640’s break-even calculators, enterprise analysis, and scenario planning tools.

How to decide whether an input (like fungicide) is worth it—or if it’s better to pocket the margin.

Strategies for 2026 planning, especially for those facing lender pressure or uncertain financing.

Grant also addresses one of the most overlooked challenges in ag finances: family living costs. Are they still silently eating into farm cash flow? And how can farmers balance growth and survival when every acre and dollar count?

🌾 Key Takeaways

“You can’t afford not to know your numbers.”

Track cost per acre, per bushel, and per enterprise—not just yield.

Use real ROI data to guide every major decision.

Revisit numbers monthly, not just at year-end.

Balance ambition with financial stability—growth should build equity, not just acres.

Andrew shares how his family operation, rooted near a trout hatchery in Winneshiek County, has made water quality and environmental responsibility central to their mission. Knowing that their farm directly impacts local waterways, Andrew emphasizes a personal commitment to stewardship: “We have a tremendous influence on the quality of water that comes out of those springs, and I feel a responsibility to do my part.”

We also dive into Andrew’s professional journey with Corteva Agriscience, where he’s spent nearly a decade advancing through roles in crop protection, territory management, and now as a Nutrient Maximizer Strategic Account Manager. He explains how this role supports farmers in optimizing fertility efficiency, improving return on investment, and protecting soil health through science-based solutions.

Listeners will hear about:

How Andrew’s upbringing on a diverse dairy and livestock farm shaped his leadership style and work ethic.

His experience experimenting with cover crops and the lessons learned from integrating them into a working cow-calf and row-crop system.

The link between data-driven agronomy and environmental outcomes, and how Corteva’s nutrient maximizer tools are helping farms do more with less.

His perspective as an Iowa Corn Animal Agriculture and Environment Committee member—bridging farmers, science, and policy.

The episode closes with a reflection on what “profit” really means in modern agriculture: not just financial returns, but long-term resilience, cleaner water, and stronger rural communities.

Alex explains his crop rotation strategy—especially how following wheat can boost corn and soybean yields by 5–8% and grain sorghum by nearly 30 bu/acre in dry conditions—and how he balances contest-level ambition with economic reality.

Matt, another Kansas producer, joins the conversation to highlight the practical side of yield pursuit: evaluating inputs by “yield-per-dollar,” tracking field data, and using AgXplore tools to guide smarter investments.

Representing AgXplore, Jenna breaks down the agronomic science behind products like GroPak AI, Architech, Onward Max, and XR5 Sulfur, explaining how they enhance nutrient uptake, stress tolerance, and root vigor in clear, farmer-friendly terms. She also discusses how AgXplore’s reps and data platforms help farmers evaluate ROI and build customized fertility programs tailored to their operations.

Together, the group explores:

When to invest and when to hold back—and how to make that call using real data.

How contest-level practices can inform everyday farming decisions without breaking the bank.

Balancing high yields with soil and biological health, ensuring long-term sustainability.

Planning for 2026, from refining rotations to leveraging field trials and digital tools for next season’s edge.

This episode is a blueprint for farmers looking to elevate their yield game—grounded in practical experience, data-driven decisions, and the support of agronomic partners who understand that profit isn’t just about bushels, it’s about balance.

Guests Lynn Hoover, Senior Director of Agronomy and Commercial Sales, and Michael Sileck, Commercial Sales Leader for Sea-90 and Baja Gold Salt Co., join the hosts to share how the 90+ balanced minerals and trace elements found in ocean water can rebuild soil vitality, elevate livestock performance, and close the loop between soil, plant, and human health.

Listeners will discover:

The Origins – How Dr. Maynard Murray, a medical doctor and physiologist, pioneered ocean-water research, proving that sea solids could rejuvenate mineral-deficient soils and improve the health of animals and humans alike.

Modern Application – How Sea-90 brings those findings into modern agriculture with naturally balanced ocean minerals—5x more mineral content than competitors and the lowest sodium levels of any salt available.

Real-World Results – Case studies showing improved crop performance in grass, grain, and bean programs, and measurable gains in livestock health and fertility when using Sea-90 as part of feeding and pasture systems.

The Big Picture – How the Sea-90 approach supports regenerative agriculture by reconnecting soil health, plant nutrition, animal vitality, and ultimately human well-being.

The conversation also explores practical takeaways:

What sets ocean minerals apart from conventional fertility inputs.

How Sea-90 integrates into current crop and livestock operations.

Common misconceptions about mineral programs—and how science and on-farm data dispel them.

Why balanced mineralization is foundational for nutrient density, yield stability, and long-term profitability.

What began in 1882 with cotton has evolved into a nationally recognized regenerative farm rooted in conservation and faith.

Listeners will hear how:

Matt began experimenting with cover crops back in 2011 — long before it was common — and turned those early trials into measurable success: improving soil structure, reducing runoff, and boosting water infiltration by over 1,200%.

Kelly, originally from Chicago with a background in hospitality, left her corporate career to become an essential partner on the farm. She now runs equipment, manages operations, and advocates for farm wives across the country.

The couple faced immense challenges — including Matt’s traumatic combine accident in 2020 and Kelly’s battles with cancer and autoimmune illness — and used their platform to openly share their faith, perseverance, and community support through it all.

The conversation dives deep into regenerative agriculture, family legacy, and living your faith out loud, including:

How they use multi-species cover crops like cereal rye, clover, radish, and buckwheat to build resilience.

The importance of balancing modern technology (Case IH & John Deere) with stewardship principles.

What it means to lead publicly as a family through pain, healing, and gratitude.

The Griggs’ work has earned national recognition, including the 2020 Mid-South High Cotton Award and features on the History Channel’s “The American Farm.”

You’ll also hear about their community outreach — from lighting up a tractor and grain cart with Christmas lights to connecting with other farm families through events like Farmers Off the Farm Cruise (2025).

The show closes with a lighthearted “Would You Rather” segment, reminding listeners that even the most accomplished farmers still love a good laugh between long harvest days.

John Deere’s new Operations Center PRO Service may be the most significant answer yet.

Guest Kent Brown joins the Farm4Profit team to unpack what this new system offers, why it matters, and how it reshapes the balance of power in the repair world.

Listeners will learn:

What PRO Service is: A licensed, digital self-repair and diagnostic platform replacing the old Customer Service ADVISOR. It delivers PIN-specific manuals, real-time machine health data, and AI-powered search functions for faster troubleshooting.

What makes it different: Interactive electrical schematics, controller reprogramming tools, and the ability to perform diagnostic tests—all without relying solely on the dealer network.

Who it’s for: U.S. and Canadian farmers, custom operators, and independent technicians—anyone who wants more repair independence.

Kent explains how this platform empowers farmers to diagnose issues, order parts, and update software directly, while still allowing seamless collaboration with dealers when needed.

The episode also dives into the broader right-to-repair debate, exploring how PRO Service reflects Deere’s effort to address farmer concerns and regulatory scrutiny. With pricing starting at $195 per machine annually for owner-operators—or $5,995 per year for independent service providers—the investment could quickly pay for itself through reduced downtime and fewer service calls.

The Farm4Profit hosts explore critical questions, including:

How easy is it for everyday farmers to learn the system?

Does it really give farmers control—or just a better window into Deere’s data?

Could this open the door to predictive maintenance, AI-driven insights, or fully offline repair libraries in the future?

Ultimately, this episode breaks down how PRO Service moves the industry forward—providing a middle ground between self-sufficiency and expert support—and what it could mean for the next generation of farm repair culture.

Guest Kent Brown joins the Farm4Profit team to unpack what this new system offers, why it matters, and how it reshapes the balance of power in the repair world.

Listeners will learn:

What PRO Service is: A licensed, digital self-repair and diagnostic platform replacing the old Customer Service ADVISOR. It delivers PIN-specific manuals, real-time machine health data, and AI-powered search functions for faster troubleshooting.

What makes it different: Interactive electrical schematics, controller reprogramming tools, and the ability to perform diagnostic tests—all without relying solely on the dealer network.

Who it’s for: U.S. and Canadian farmers, custom operators, and independent technicians—anyone who wants more repair independence.

Kent explains how this platform empowers farmers to diagnose issues, order parts, and update software directly, while still allowing seamless collaboration with dealers when needed.

The episode also dives into the broader right-to-repair debate, exploring how PRO Service reflects Deere’s effort to address farmer concerns and regulatory scrutiny. With pricing starting at $195 per machine annually for owner-operators—or $5,995 per year for independent service providers—the investment could quickly pay for itself through reduced downtime and fewer service calls.

The Farm4Profit hosts explore critical questions, including:

How easy is it for everyday farmers to learn the system?

Does it really give farmers control—or just a better window into Deere’s data?

Could this open the door to predictive maintenance, AI-driven insights, or fully offline repair libraries in the future?

Ultimately, this episode breaks down how PRO Service moves the industry forward—providing a middle ground between self-sufficiency and expert support—and what it could mean for the next generation of farm repair culture.

]]> How PRO Service Changes the Repair Game ; The Future of Self-Repair Kent Brown 00:41:08 Farmers have always been innovators — fixing, fabricating, and finding a way to keep their machines running. But as equipment technology advanced, repairs became more complex and access to digital diagnostics was limited. That’s changing. We talk with Kent Brown about John Deere’s new PRO Service, a major leap forward for farmer autonomy and equipment diagnostics. Designed to give producers, independent techs, and dealers equal footing when it comes to machine insights, PRO Service is Deere’s next chapter in supporting the right to repair.

Our guest, Lee Klancher, is an award-winning author, photographer, and publisher of Octane Press, whose new book Snoopy and the Spy tells the story of International Harvester vs. John Deere during the height of the farm crisis.

We explore:

Lee’s Journey: How his early passions for machinery, photography, and storytelling led to a 30-year career publishing more than 30 books, teaching writing, and founding Octane Press from his garage in Austin.

Adventures Behind the Lens: From climbing the Julian Alps to photographing 30 rare John Deere tractors in a custom-built studio, Lee shares wild experiences that shape his work.

Snoopy & the Spy Storyline:

The bold espionage of Bud Youle sneaking into John Deere’s Superdome showcase in 1982.

The innovative but short-lived IH 2+2 “Snoopy” lineage and the canceled Super 70 prototypes (7288, 7488, rumored 7888).

Deere’s counterpunch: the 15-speed PowerShift transmission and factory MFWD on high-hp row crops.

How espionage fueled innovation but couldn’t save IH from its financial collapse and eventual merger into Case IH.

Wider Themes: Loyalty, desperation, and ethics during a time when the survival of whole companies—and farm livelihoods—hung in the balance.

The conversation also highlights Lee’s reflections: espionage and secret prototyping accelerated tractor innovation and shaped the machines we know today, even if IH itself didn’t survive.

We close with lighter fare: Lee’s dream tractor test drive, favorite adventures from around the globe, and what hidden book projects might be next.

This episode blends ag history, corporate drama, and personal adventure—showing how tractors and their stories are as much about people and passion as they are about horsepower.

Our guest, Sherie Jones, Operations Manager at STEINBAUER USA, shares how NexOpt—founded in 2016—has already been adopted by industries like postal services, broadcasters, and leasing companies in Europe, and why now is the right time to bring it to the U.S.

Key themes from the conversation include:

What Makes NexOpt Different: Unlike traditional telematics systems tied to one carrier, NexOpt is cell-provider independent, can store data offline and upload later, and is engineered entirely in-house for reliability. Sherie also explains how the system uses a fraction of the data compared to competitors.

Why Farmers Should Care: From real-time tracking of machines to the Service History feature that logs invoices, technician notes, and repair photos, NexOpt helps farmers replace messy spreadsheets and paper records with one digital solution. For row-crop, livestock, and custom operators alike, this can reduce downtime during critical planting or harvest windows.

Features & Functionality: Farmers gain tools like breadcrumb trails, idle time tracking, fault code reporting, and customizable analytics. Sherie shares which features early adopters love most and how even non-tech-savvy users can navigate the platform with ease.

ROI and Practical Use: Sherie outlines the cost structure (setup + per-vehicle monthly fee), where farmers typically see the return on investment, and whether it’s better to pilot a few machines or roll out across an entire fleet.

The U.S. Launch: Debuting at the Farm Progress Show, NexOpt is kicking things off with T-shirt giveaways, a cooler raffle, and even a shrimp boil and gumbo dinner for attendees.

This episode highlights how smarter tracking can turn maintenance into a profit driver, giving farmers more time in the field and fewer unexpected breakdowns.

Our guest, Joe Roberts, is not only the President of the Iowa Corn Promotion Board but also a third-generation Wright County farmer, Beck’s Seed dealer, and conservation advocate.

Joe shares his journey from growing up on the family farm to leading farmer-funded checkoff initiatives that promote corn’s role in food, feed, fuel, and fiber. We explore how the Iowa Corn Promotion Board uses the Cy-Hawk Series as a platform to connect with millions of fans, building both consumer awareness and farmer pride.

Key themes from the episode include:

The Cy-Hawk Story: What the series is, which sports are included, and why it’s such an iconic rivalry in Iowa culture.

Checkoff Dollars at Work: How farmer checkoff investments make sponsorships possible and the tangible value they bring back to the farm.

Beyond the Stadium: How Iowa Corn uses the event to educate consumers on corn’s role in everyday life, from renewable fuels to livestock feed.

Conservation & Leadership: Joe’s perspective as a young farmer balancing tradition, conservation practices, and leadership roles in Iowa ag.

The conversation wraps with Joe’s message for both farmers and consumers: that checkoff programs and community partnerships help secure the future of agriculture while strengthening the connection between the farm gate and the dinner plate (or tailgate).

With 50+ years of combined grain trade experience—ranging from trading floors to farming and even pioneering Cargill’s first office in post-communist Ukraine—Jeff and Mike have seen the good, the bad, and the bizarre in global grain markets.

Rather than serving as advisors or brokers, they created Agris Academy to teach farmers how to think like merchandisers, empowering them with tools and frameworks to improve decision-making for the long term. Their flagship Master Class offers 40+ hours of interactive instruction, case studies, and open Q&A—helping farmers sharpen their skills beyond just chasing better prices.

Topics covered in this episode include:

Why Education, Not Advice: Why Jeff and Mike chose teaching over consulting, and the myths they love busting in grain marketing.

Tactical Insights: What stood out in 2023/24 among their students, how to market crops below cost of production, and why there’s no silver bullet.

Inside the Master Class: What the course structure looks like, who their typical students are, and what lessons they’ve learned since launching.

Beyond the Farm: Jeff’s wildest stories from 30 years in the grain trade, and Mike’s unique perspective from building markets in Ukraine.

Big Picture Takeaways: What every farmer should understand about grain marketing—and the first step they can take today to improve.

From tailgate lessons to global perspectives, this episode shows how mastering grain marketing is less about predicting the market and more about mastering your approach.

This Farm4Profit Podcast episode turns up the volume on innovation, entrepreneurship, and sound built for the farm. Our guest, Ryan Kanallakan, is the founder and CEO of RAK’D Audio, the company behind rugged, custom-built speakers that are redefining how farmers listen to music in the cab, shop, or out in the field.

Ryan’s story highlights how a rebrand from Cool Beats in 2022 and a focus on durability, customization, and powerful design put RAK’D Audio on the map. The speakers—often crafted from repurposed military ammo cans—feature:

30+ hour battery life

300+ foot Bluetooth range

Waterproof IP65 rating

Party Mode connection for up to 100 units

We discuss how RAK’D carved out a niche in agriculture, why farmers love their products, and how TikTok has helped Ryan build a community of more than 250,000 followers by mixing farm equipment talk with customer Q&A videos.

Ryan also gives listeners a behind-the-scenes look at building his new shop, experimenting with things like stained concrete flooring, and balancing growth while staying close to his rural roots.

Of course, we wrap up with some fun “Would You Rather” questions—from music in the cab to mind-reading superpowers—putting Ryan in the hot seat.

Whether you’re into tech, farm life, or just love a good small-business success story, this episode delivers insights (and laughs) you won’t want to miss.

This Farm4Profit Podcast episode turns up the volume on innovation, entrepreneurship, and sound built for the farm. Our guest, Ryan Kanallakan, is the founder and CEO of RAK’D Audio, the company behind rugged, custom-built speakers that are redefining how farmers listen to music in the cab, shop, or out in the field.

Ryan’s story highlights how a rebrand from Cool Beats in 2022 and a focus on durability, customization, and powerful design put RAK’D Audio on the map. The speakers—often crafted from repurposed military ammo cans—feature:

30+ hour battery life

300+ foot Bluetooth range

Waterproof IP65 rating

Party Mode connection for up to 100 units

We discuss how RAK’D carved out a niche in agriculture, why farmers love their products, and how TikTok has helped Ryan build a community of more than 250,000 followers by mixing farm equipment talk with customer Q&A videos.

Ryan also gives listeners a behind-the-scenes look at building his new shop, experimenting with things like stained concrete flooring, and balancing growth while staying close to his rural roots.

Of course, we wrap up with some fun “Would You Rather” questions—from music in the cab to mind-reading superpowers—putting Ryan in the hot seat.

Whether you’re into tech, farm life, or just love a good small-business success story, this episode delivers insights (and laughs) you won’t want to miss.

Key themes from the episode include:

Boots on the Ground Insights: Crop health and harvest takeaways from the 2025 season across diverse geographies.

Maximizing Your Local Rep: Why reps should be seen as an extension of your business—helping with hybrid and variety planning, crop protection strategies, and post-harvest evaluations.

Smart Questions to Ask: The single best question farmers should ask at harvest and the call Kylee wishes more growers made early in the season.

Beyond Sales Teams: How Corteva’s specialized nitrogen stabilizer team and market development specialists support retailers, Extension, and growers with cutting-edge field trials.

Looking Ahead to 2026: What to jot down now before the spring rush—hybrid performance notes, weed escapes, nitrogen use, and more.

The episode wraps up with Kylee’s lightning-round favorites, plus a reminder that farmers don’t need to go it alone. With knowledgeable field teams, local reps, and new technologies, planning for profit starts now.

First, we sit down with Paul Paplow, President of Paplow Harvesting & Trucking. What started in 1992 as a two-combine family operation has grown into a 10-machine fleet traveling from Texas to Montana each season. Paul shares insights on managing crews of all sizes, keeping up with new regulations, and using the J1 Visa program to staff harvest runs. With experience representing the U.S. Custom Harvesters, Inc. (USCHI) in Washington, D.C. and at Commodity Classic, Paul brings a national perspective to the challenges and opportunities in the custom harvesting industry.

Next, we talk with David from Orrson Custom Farming LTD of Apple Creek, Ohio, a third-generation family business that has been custom harvesting since 1946. Today, Orrson Custom Farming employs 16 crew members and covers ground from Georgia to Michigan, starting harvest in February and running all the way through Thanksgiving. David discusses the importance of safety protocols, crew training, and risk management, as well as the family’s ongoing crop production on 700 acres back home. With the fourth generation now involved, Orrson’s story is one of resilience, expansion, and dedication to customer service.

Together, these conversations paint a vivid picture of life on the road as a custom harvester—long days, tight schedules, family traditions, and the incredible logistics behind getting America’s crops out of the field and into the supply chain. Whether you’re a farmer, an ag enthusiast, or someone curious about how food gets from field to table, this episode shines a spotlight on an essential but often overlooked part of agriculture.

Matthias farms corn and soybeans alongside his family, works as a sales rep for Dekalb and John Deere, and runs a drone operation. His passion for technology shines through in everything he does—whether it’s testing the latest GPS-guided equipment, exploring autonomous tractors, or showing how precision agriculture tools can boost efficiency and sustainability.

On social media, where he’s built a following of nearly 80,000 across platforms, Matthias highlights the contrast between how his dad and grandpa farmed and how technology is shaping his generation’s approach. His content ranges from time-lapse planting videos to behind-the-scenes drone spraying journeys, giving his audience a unique window into modern agriculture.

We dive into how Matthias finances his farm as a young producer, what tools and strategies he uses to keep his operation organized, and how his role as both a farmer and content creator allows him to promote agriculture to a broader audience. He also shares stories from working alongside his family, why showcasing generational differences matters, and what excites him most about the next wave of farm technology.

To keep things light, we close the episode with a round of “Start, Bench, Cut” where Matthias chooses between autonomous tractors, drone spraying, and GPS-guided planters—and reveals whether he’d rather film harvest with his grandpa or rebuild old equipment in the shop.

This episode blends nostalgia and innovation, offering listeners a look at how one young farmer is carrying tradition forward while embracing the tools that will define agriculture’s future.

They explain what nitrate removal looks like in practice, why one winter alone cost more than $540,000, and how proposed new facilities could require investments of up to $183 million.

From the agricultural side, we explore the progress farmers have made in reducing erosion, improving nitrogen use efficiency (down from ~1.2 lbs per bushel in the 1990s to ~0.7 lbs or less today), and adopting conservation practices like no-till, cover crops, and prairie strips. We also look at the barriers—like cost, adoption rates, and weather extremes—that keep nitrate reductions from moving as fast as water utilities and regulators would like.

The conversation highlights the drivers of change, from climate volatility to increased corn production, and examines the broader economic context: agriculture still contributes over $53 billion to Iowa’s GDP and supports 1 in 5 jobs statewide. Any solutions must balance environmental protection with economic sustainability for farm families and rural communities.

Ultimately, this discussion is about bridging the divide. Both farmers and utilities are making major investments in infrastructure—whether that’s treatment plants or conservation practices. The question is: how do we build trust, share data, and create partnerships that deliver measurable water quality improvements while protecting Iowa’s agricultural economy and heritage?

This episode gives listeners a nuanced look at the nitrate issue beyond the headlines, showing how public health, environmental stewardship, and agricultural productivity can coexist with the right mix of science, collaboration, and leadership.

]]> Mon, 1 Sep 2025 05:00:00 +0000 farm4profitllc@gmail.com (Keegan Kult, Amy Kahler, Tami Madsen) https://intro-to-farm4profit.simplecast.com/episodes/beyond-blame-or-divide-working-together-for-iowa-waters-future-jRjfSe2B We’re joined by the CEOs of Des Moines Water Works and Central Iowa Water Works, who provide a utility perspective on what it takes to ensure clean, safe drinking water for over 600,000 residents. They explain what nitrate removal looks like in practice, why one winter alone cost more than $540,000, and how proposed new facilities could require investments of up to $183 million.

From the agricultural side, we explore the progress farmers have made in reducing erosion, improving nitrogen use efficiency (down from ~1.2 lbs per bushel in the 1990s to ~0.7 lbs or less today), and adopting conservation practices like no-till, cover crops, and prairie strips. We also look at the barriers—like cost, adoption rates, and weather extremes—that keep nitrate reductions from moving as fast as water utilities and regulators would like.

The conversation highlights the drivers of change, from climate volatility to increased corn production, and examines the broader economic context: agriculture still contributes over $53 billion to Iowa’s GDP and supports 1 in 5 jobs statewide. Any solutions must balance environmental protection with economic sustainability for farm families and rural communities.

Ultimately, this discussion is about bridging the divide. Both farmers and utilities are making major investments in infrastructure—whether that’s treatment plants or conservation practices. The question is: how do we build trust, share data, and create partnerships that deliver measurable water quality improvements while protecting Iowa’s agricultural economy and heritage?

This episode gives listeners a nuanced look at the nitrate issue beyond the headlines, showing how public health, environmental stewardship, and agricultural productivity can coexist with the right mix of science, collaboration, and leadership.

In this Farm4Profit episode, we sit down with the CEOs of Des Moines Water Works and Central Iowa Water Works and bring in the Executive Director of the Agricultural Drainage Management Coalition to talk about what’s driving rising nitrate levels, the real costs of water treatment, and how farmers, utilities, and policymakers can work together to protect both public health and agriculture’s future.

Brian is a fourth-generation farmer raising corn, soybeans, popcorn, and wheat on his family’s 2,400-acre operation. Farming alongside his father and grandfather, Brian not only manages the day-to-day work of no-till practices, cover cropping, and seed production but also shares it with the world through his blog and growing social media platforms.

We talk about the evolution of his farm—from planting soybeans before corn and experimenting with cover crops across 25% of their acres each fall, to the anticipation of earning a centennial designation for his grandpa’s farm in 2028. Brian also shares how his Purdue Ag degree and openness to new agronomic practices have helped him continually adapt and improve his operation.

Beyond the farm, Brian has built a large online community through The Farmer’s Life blog and daily content on Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. Starting in 2011, his writing evolved into video and social storytelling, where he now connects with hundreds of thousands of people globally. He shares how projects like Cruisin’ with Corteva and conversations with followers have expanded his perspective on biotech, cover cropping, and farm transparency.

Listeners will also get a peek at Brian’s journey from working in retail management after college back to farming full time, his experience growing up outside the FFA/4-H path, and how music shaped his early years. Whether it’s managing soil health, using precision ag tools, or reflecting on the role of family legacy, Brian offers an honest look at what it really means to live “The Farmer’s Life.”

While we often think of retirement in the context of W-2 workers with 401(k)s and pensions, farmers, small business owners, and self-employed professionals face very different challenges.

Guest Levi Morrissey of Financial Architects, Inc. joins us to explain why retirement planning isn’t optional—and why it looks different for those who don’t fit the “traditional” mold. We explore the looming reality that two-thirds of Iowa farmland is owned by people over the age of 65, meaning a tidal wave of transitions is already reshaping small-town economies and family farms.

Key takeaways from our conversation include:

The psychology of retirement: How financial readiness and personal identity both play roles in deciding when (and how) to step back.

Farmers vs. W-2 workers: Why relying on land equity alone may not be enough, and how tax-advantaged accounts like SEP IRAs, Solo 401(k)s, and SIMPLE IRAs can provide real security.

Phased retirement strategies: Leasing land, crop-share agreements, or custom farming as ways to transition without walking away entirely.

Tax benefits for farmers: Including Iowa exemptions on retirement income for those who’ve materially participated in farming for 10+ years, as well as incentives for cash rent to beginning farmers.

The bigger picture: Retirement planning doesn’t just protect one family’s legacy—it sustains rural communities, preserves farmland, and strengthens the next generation of producers.

We wrap up by asking listeners to consider an important question: What does life after the farm—or after the business—look like for you? Retirement doesn’t have to mean loss of identity. With intentional planning, it can be the foundation for personal freedom, family security, and thriving rural communities.

April operates her family’s century farm—1,000 acres of corn, soybeans, and pasture—while serving on an impressive list of boards and advisory councils, including the United Soybean Board, USDA Foreign Ag Service Ag Technical Advisory Council, and multiple Iowa ag organizations.

April’s story starts with a degree in Animal Science from Iowa State University and early work in banking, ag research, and policy. In 1993, she took over the family farm, transitioning from a farrow-to-finish hog and cattle operation to a highly productive, tech-driven grain farm. She’s never plowed her land, instead adopting no-till, buffer strips, wetlands, filter strips, and pollinator habitats to protect soil and water.

She also leads a women’s grain marketing group with economist Kelvin Leibold, empowering members to increase their farm incomes by $10,000 to $30,000 through smarter marketing strategies. Her leadership has earned her numerous honors, including Iowa Master Farmer, Monsanto’s Farm Mom of the Year, and induction into the FarmHer Hall of Fame.

In our conversation, April shares:

How she balances technology investments with a used machinery strategy.

Why conservation practices have been non-negotiable on her farm.

How serving in leadership roles at the state, national, and global level influences her farm decisions.

What she’s learned from 40 years of running a farm as both owner and operator.

Why building strong marketing skills is one of the best returns on investment for any farmer.

We also lighten things up with a rapid-fire “Would You Rather” segment—revealing whether April prefers harvest or planting, beef or pork, and if she’d rather talk to animals or speak every human language.

Whether you’re interested in leadership, conservation, technology, or marketing, this episode offers inspiration and practical takeaways from one of the most respected voices in agriculture.

But too often, farmers head into these conversations without a plan. On this episode of the Farm4Profit Podcast, we sit down with Attia Qureshi, an international negotiation consultant, educator, and farmer’s spouse, to learn how her Seven Elements of Effective Negotiation can transform the way you do business.

Attia begins by walking us through her framework—Interests, Options, Legitimacy, Communication, Relationship, Alternatives, and Commitment—and shows exactly how each applies to farm life. She shares why Relationship is the most overlooked element in ag negotiations, especially when working with the same buyers, suppliers, or landlords year after year.

We explore four common farm negotiation scenarios:

Private Sales & One-on-One Deals – Selling used equipment or buying livestock while using tactical empathy, anchoring, and mirroring to reach a fair price.

Value-Based Negotiation with Retailers – Moving the conversation from “lowest cost” to “best value” when working with seed and input suppliers.

Volume & Group Negotiation – Harnessing collective buying power without falling into the trap of misaligned goals.

Land Lease Agreements – Approaching tough talks in the fall, preserving relationships with absentee or long-time landlords, and handling “I’ve had a higher offer” moments without damaging trust.

Throughout the conversation, Attia blends professional insights with personal stories from life on the farm. She offers practical tips on reading non-verbal cues, understanding the power of timing, and defusing tension in high-stakes discussions.

We wrap up with Attia’s lightning-round favorites, from her go-to negotiation book to the biggest myth about negotiation. Whether you’re preparing for lease renegotiation season or just want to feel more confident in daily farm conversations, this episode delivers strategies you can put to work immediately.

Rethinking Tile’s Role in Water Quality & Nitrates In this episode of the Farm4Profit Podcast, we’re joined by Dr. Vinayak Shedekar, a research scientist at the forefront of multifunctional drainage systems in agriculture. Drain tile has long been used to remove excess water from fields, but according to Dr. Shedekar, that’s just scratching the surface.

We explore how tile systems can now support irrigation, manage seasonal water needs, improve water quality, and even contribute to conservation efforts. Dr. Shedekar explains the concept of transitioning from "drain to de-rain"—a strategy that leverages tile infrastructure to retain or redistribute water based on the time of year and crop demand.

He also unpacks the potential of drainage water management and subirrigation in increasing yields, improving efficiency, and enhancing farm profitability—especially in places like Northwest Ohio, where traditional irrigation adoption has been limited.

Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of:

How to evaluate their current tile system

Whether water management upgrades make sense

How conservation practices like bioreactors and control structures play into the big picture

What technologies are emerging to help maximize return from these buried systems

If you’ve ever wondered whether your tile could be doing more for your crops, wallet, and the environment, this episode is for you.

A former college wrestler from Nebraska, Kris took his competitive mindset straight into the ag world. He started at AgriVision Equipment, representing John Deere in some of the most equipment-savvy regions in the country, and hasn’t stopped moving since.

Kris shares how his time on the mat taught him grit, discipline, and the power of work ethic—lessons that now drive his success in multiple ag ventures. Today, he not only sells seed to area farmers but also flips used equipment and works with DPA Auctions, helping farmers across the Midwest get the most out of their iron.

We talk about spotting undervalued equipment, how online auctions are changing the game, and what buyers and sellers should really be thinking about when they make a deal. Plus, Kris dives into what farmers should be asking their seed dealers, and why adding value (not volume) is the key to standing out.

Whether you’re into wrestling, wrenching, or winning in the business of ag, Kris’s journey is packed with takeaways you can bring back to your operation today.

After earning a degree in mechanical engineering from Iowa State University, Ryan spent over 15 years refining oil and producing ethanol before circling back to his agricultural roots with a bold idea: start a distillery that pays tribute to the very ground he grew up on.

Founded in 2017, Century Farms Distillery celebrates the legacy of Iowa’s multigenerational farms. Ryan walks us through the journey—from navigating complicated distilling regulations to sourcing high-quality local grains that deliver standout flavors in every batch. We discuss the differences between producing energy and crafting spirits, how farm practices directly influence taste, and what it means to distill with purpose and pride.

Ryan also shares insights on branding, connecting with consumers through storytelling, and expanding the distillery’s reach beyond Iowa. Whether it’s whiskey, bourbon, or celebrating agricultural heritage, Ryan’s mission is clear: honor the past while innovating for the future.

After building a successful career in the tech world—working at Meta and McKinsey—Mark turned his attention to agriculture, recognizing a gap in farmer-accessible risk management tools.

Mark explains that while hedging is essential for protecting farm revenue, it’s long been confusing, expensive, and out of reach for most producers. SimpleHedge aims to fix that, providing a platform that delivers clear recommendations, personalized strategies, and confidence—without requiring a background in trading.

He walks us through how the platform works, how it pulls and analyzes market data, and how it customizes strategies based on a user’s unique operation. We also cover farmer concerns around safety and control—highlighting how SimpleHedge provides guided recommendations, not hands-off execution, and how users can get started without connecting sensitive accounts.

Throughout the episode, Mark shares real-world success stories, ROI examples, and where the future of tech-enabled farm risk management is headed. Whether you're a seasoned marketer or just getting started with options and futures, this conversation demystifies a topic that can make or break a year’s profit.

But Andrew’s path to farming is anything but traditional. From his early career as a U.S. Air Force intelligence officer to high-level roles at tech giants Amazon and Expedia, he’s built a career defined by bold pivots, community commitment, and strategic vision.

Raised in Mount Vernon, Andrew returned home after years in the corporate world to invest in his roots—literally. With a law degree, MBA, and master’s in organizational leadership, he leveraged his diverse background to launch Tulip Valley Farms, a business now recognized nationally for its experiential approach to floriculture and farm tourism.

He opens up about being colorblind and how he and his wife Holly—Tulip Valley’s self-appointed Chief Color Officer—have made it work. We also dive into the challenges of entrepreneurship, including his removal as CEO from a previous tulip venture and how that setback ignited the vision for something even greater.

Andrew shares how Tulip Valley Farms blends agriculture, innovation, and storytelling to create authentic farm experiences—from U-pick tulip fields to hands-on events. With features in national media and honors from the World Tulip Summit, his farm is not just beautiful—it’s a blueprint for how agritourism can inspire, educate, and thrive.

Founded in 2015, Vytelle has grown into a global force in genetic improvement, recently being ranked as the #392 fastest-growing tech company in North America by Deloitte.

We begin by breaking down the basics of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and why hormone-free IVF offers cattle producers a more natural, lower-stress, and scalable alternative to traditional embryo programs. Through Vytelle ADVANCE, producers can collect eggs weekly—even from pregnant cows—leading to shorter generation intervals and more rapid genetic gain.

Next, we explore Vytelle INSIGHT, a powerful AI-powered platform that turns data into genetic decisions. Combined with Vytelle SENSE—their real-time feed intake and in-pen weight tracking system—INSIGHT helps identify the top-performing animals and guides smart, targeted mating decisions.

You’ll hear real-world stories from feedlots and seedstock operations using Vytelle to identify elite cattle, boost feed efficiency, and drive profitability. Whether you raise show cattle, run a dairy, or manage a cow-calf operation, Vytelle’s tools deliver practical advantages that make a difference.

We also discuss how these technologies are shaping the future of livestock genetics—making it more predictive, efficient, and sustainable. This is an episode for anyone looking to do more with less and take the guesswork out of herd improvement.

Founded in 2015, Vytelle has grown into a global force in genetic improvement, recently being ranked as the #392 fastest-growing tech company in North America by Deloitte.

We begin by breaking down the basics of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and why hormone-free IVF offers cattle producers a more natural, lower-stress, and scalable alternative to traditional embryo programs. Through Vytelle ADVANCE, producers can collect eggs weekly—even from pregnant cows—leading to shorter generation intervals and more rapid genetic gain.

Next, we explore Vytelle INSIGHT, a powerful AI-powered platform that turns data into genetic decisions. Combined with Vytelle SENSE—their real-time feed intake and in-pen weight tracking system—INSIGHT helps identify the top-performing animals and guides smart, targeted mating decisions.

You’ll hear real-world stories from feedlots and seedstock operations using Vytelle to identify elite cattle, boost feed efficiency, and drive profitability. Whether you raise show cattle, run a dairy, or manage a cow-calf operation, Vytelle’s tools deliver practical advantages that make a difference.

We also discuss how these technologies are shaping the future of livestock genetics—making it more predictive, efficient, and sustainable. This is an episode for anyone looking to do more with less and take the guesswork out of herd improvement.

As co-host of Ag PhD TV and Radio, Brian shares what it’s like to grow up on a livestock and crop farm, learn from his father’s teachings, and eventually build one of the most respected agronomy platforms in agriculture alongside his brother Darren.

We discuss how the Hefty Seed Company has grown to 50 locations across 12 states, making it the 7th largest crop protection retailer and 11th largest seed dealer in the country. Brian shares what it means to focus on ROI—not just cost—and why pulling more soil samples may be one of the biggest untapped opportunities in ag. He explains how trying new things, experimenting on-farm, and remaining a lifelong learner are key to long-term profitability.

Brian also talks about his book, 100 an Hour Jobs: Lessons from Dad, and how early advice from his father shaped his outlook on time, value, and purpose. From his Christian faith to his family life, Brian brings authenticity to both his work and words.

We get a sneak peek into upcoming events like Ag PhD Field Day (July 31) and Cultivate 2025 in Fargo, both designed to bring growers together to learn, network, and find new solutions. Plus, we explore how Ag PhD is expanding its reach through platforms like AcresTV, social media, and podcasts—helping farmers stay informed no matter where they are.

As Partner and Director of Farmland Investments at Sower Farmland Fund and Legacy Farmland Fund, Ethan helps manage a portfolio of properties that connect farmland owners with investors—all while prioritizing legacy, flexibility, and profitability.

Ethan shares his personal path from his upbringing and education at the University of Arkansas to over a decade in ag finance and credit. He breaks down the mission behind Legacy Farmland Fund: giving landowners a new path to transition their asset without selling out their identity. Listeners will get a refresh on how Legacy enables contributors to trade farmland for ownership shares—maintaining long-term exposure to farmland returns, gaining liquidity, and relieving themselves from day-to-day operations.

We dive into today’s land investment landscape, exploring what investors are looking for, how farmland compares to other asset classes, and which U.S. regions are catching the most interest. Ethan also unpacks how technology and data are changing the way land is valued, managed, and selected for investment.

For farmers, this episode provides guidance on what makes a strong farmer-investor partnership, what Ethan looks for in operators, and how Sower supports profitability and growth from the ground up. He offers candid advice for producers considering leasing versus owning, and shares examples of farmer success stories made possible through Sower’s model.

First, we hear from Jake Terrell, Director of Vineyards at St. Francis Winery, who shares how his viticulture background and years managing vineyards like Monte Rosso have shaped his approach to sustainable farming. Jake outlines how timing, precision, and green practices drive quality grape production. He also discusses his role in revising the Code of Sustainable Winegrowing Practices, showcasing his leadership in building a more environmentally conscious wine industry.

Then, we’re joined by Glenn Proctor of Puccioni Ranch & Vineyards, whose winemaking heritage dates back to 1904. Glenn gives us a rare look at the art of letting the vineyard speak for itself, drawing on a century of family knowledge and old-vine farming. We also explore his broader experience in the wine industry — from leadership roles at Beaulieu Vineyard (BV) and Sterling, to becoming a partner at The Ciatti Company, the world’s largest grape and bulk wine brokerage.

Together, Jake and Glenn reflect on the evolution of the wine business, how sustainability and tradition are converging, and what the future holds for vineyard operations amid changing climate, consumer demand, and labor dynamics.

Listeners will walk away with an appreciation for what it means to farm for flavor, legacy, and longevity — and how lessons from the vineyard apply to agriculture across the board.

As farmers look for new ways to protect yield and stretch every input dollar, PGRs are rising to the top of the conversation — but what exactly are they, and how do they work?

Gunther kicks things off with a clear breakdown of the science behind PGRs — from naturally occurring hormones like auxins and gibberellins to advanced synthetic formulations used in modern ag. We explore how PGRs stimulate or suppress specific plant responses, helping crops manage stress, increase tillering, strengthen stalks, improve root mass, and ultimately perform better under pressure.

The conversation gets practical as Gunther shares when and how to apply PGRs, which crops respond best, and how to maximize synergy by tank-mixing with fungicides, foliar feeds, or herbicides. He also addresses timing, weather influence, and why not all PGRs are created equal — pointing out the key signs of a high-quality product versus one that might just be snake oil.

We then dive into the evolving PGR landscape, including advancements in targeted formulations, compatibility with precision ag, and what’s on the horizon — like AI-powered prescriptions and biostimulant hybrids.

Evan works in product management at Ag Leader, while Chad manages territory sales and support in Minnesota. But when they’re not helping other growers, they’re back on their own farms, using the very same Ag Leader tools they help develop and support.

Evan and Chad share their farming backgrounds, the challenges of managing dual careers, and what makes their farm operations unique. They also reveal how Ag Leader’s suite of precision ag products — from guidance systems to yield monitoring — help them be more efficient, accurate, and productive on their own acres.

You’ll hear real-world examples of how their time in the field shapes their work at Ag Leader. Whether it’s identifying a needed product update or pushing for better support tools, their dual roles allow them to bring authentic feedback to the innovation process.

The conversation also dives into Ag Leader’s core values — being Made in America, delivering reliable, high-quality tech, and offering top-tier service and support. Chad and Evan reflect on what it means to be part of a company that lives those values, both as employees and as customers.

Finally, we lighten the mood with a fun rapid fire round covering their favorite equipment, go-to cab snacks, and essential Ag Leader tools.

If you’ve ever wondered whether ag tech companies truly understand what farmers need — this episode will show you that at Ag Leader, the people building the tools are also the people using them.

Jesse’s story is one of grit, growth, and generosity. From his early days working on a grass seed farm at 16 after his parents divorced, to buying his first baler in high school, Jesse’s entrepreneurial journey is both inspiring and deeply practical.

We dive into the origin and expansion of Jesse Bounds Trucking, where every truck — including his iconic refurbished 1986 Peterbilt 259 shoot hood — is painted in classic Peterbilt orange. Jesse shares the story of restoring that first truck with a close friend who recently passed, a moment that shaped his approach to business and legacy.

His flagship venture, Bounds Hay Company, now includes massive storage barns, a hay bale press, hay squeezes, and a 110-foot scale — exporting hay daily to Korea and Japan. From farming and baling to international shipping logistics, Jesse breaks down the systems that keep the operation running 24/6.

He’s also the founder of Ten Four Coaching, a business training platform with workshops like Baler School and a Finance Workshop for entrepreneurs dealing with financial stress. Jesse provides listeners with practical, tactical strategies to identify growth opportunities, break through business plateaus, focus on revenue-driving activities, and craft a long-term vision.

As a bonus, we touch on Bounds Coffee, Jesse’s small-town coffee shop serving smoothies, espresso, and Lotus drinks in Junction City, Oregon — a reminder that passion projects and business can go hand in hand.

Whether you're a farmer, trucker, business owner, or dreamer, Jesse’s top five actionable tips and stories from the field offer a roadmap to turning hustle into success — with no excuses and no shortcuts.

As a reminder - visit DPAauctions.com and Farm4Profit listeners receive 0% listing fee for the first items sold through DPA!

We kick things off with Nick Helland from the Iowa Corn Growers Association, who walks us through a series of upcoming roundtable discussions taking place across Iowa. These conversations are designed to bring farmers and stakeholders together to talk about the issues that matter most — from conservation and carbon to trade and transportation. Nick explains how the feedback from these sessions will help shape Iowa Corn’s policy direction and strengthen the voice of agriculture at both the state and national level.

Then, we transition into a deep dive on the 2025 equipment market with Luke Stamp from DPA Auctions. We ask Luke the questions that are on every farmer's mind:

Are we seeing more or fewer sales compared to last year?

Is the market stronger or weaker?

What’s the current demand for new vs. used equipment?

Luke doesn’t hold back — he talks about who’s buying, who’s selling, and where the real opportunities are in 2025. We also uncover what makes certain sales stand out, the best advice for buyers and sellers, and how factors like interest rates, China relations, PUKs, and Farm Bill chatter could shift the landscape. If you're considering selling equipment or looking to buy in the months ahead, this is the episode you can’t afford to miss.

Orin gives us a glimpse into what life looks like on his diversified farm where he grows a variety of crops and provides fresh produce to local markets and his surrounding community.

We explore how the farm has evolved over time — including planting 10 acres of oats in fall 2022, a crop that may have been a first for the operation — and how he navigates the unpredictability of farming, like this past season’s surprise combine fire. Orin also shares how his family plays an active role on the farm: his wife, kids, and even the dog stay involved in everything from harvest to road trips to answering calls when things get busy.

Celebrating 20 years of marriage, Orin and his wife have built a life around faith, family, and farming. Their teamwork, especially during harvest and hay season, is something that truly sets Nusbaum Farms apart. We talk social media, small-town support, and why it’s so important to be present — both online and in the rows. If you love stories about families growing food, navigating challenges, and doing it all together, this episode is for you.

We interview Louie Zumbach, a farmer and former Iowa State Representative and County Supervisor, and Elliot Henderson, a farmer and ag communicator, about their new venture—the Rush Hour Ag podcast.

They explain what inspired the show, why they felt farmers needed more accessible and engaging policy discussions, and what they’ve learned from being on both sides of the ag-politics fence. We talk about how current and proposed local, state, and federal policies are shaping what farmers can grow, how they grow it, and how profitable their operations can be.

We also dig into their personal stories—how growing up in agriculture, working in public service, and staying connected to rural communities shapes their approach to advocacy. Plus, they share how they balance facts with fun and encourage more farmers to understand and participate in the political process.

Whether you’re policy-curious or a seasoned follower of farm bills and budgets, this episode will help you better understand why ag policy is ag profit—and how voices like yours matter more than ever.

We learn about their farm background, what motivated them to enter the contest, and how their winning crop compared to their usual yields.

They walk us through their hybrid selection, fertility program, and how they incorporated biologicals, foliar feeds, and plant growth regulators to unlock every ounce of potential in the field. From variable-rate planting and precision nutrient applications to scouting techniques and drone use, this grower blends old-school effort with new-school tech.

We also hear the lessons they’ve learned—the mistakes made, key takeaways, and small tweaks that can help any farmer boost their productivity. And of course, we explore the competitive edge: how intense the contest is, what it feels like to win, and what comes next in the pursuit of even bigger yields.

Next, we take a forward-looking leap with John Deere, exploring the future of autonomous tractors and the current automation technology already transforming how we harvest. From auto path steering to real-time yield monitoring, automation inside combines is quietly revolutionizing ag operations—reducing fatigue, increasing precision, and helping producers maximize every acre.

Tim Gutwein Tells All In this episode, we kick back with Tim Gutwein, CEO of AgXplore, to uncover the personal and professional journey that took him from rural roots to the helm of one of agriculture’s most innovative companies. Tim walks us through the early days of AgXplore, a company founded in 1999 with a mission to deliver smarter, more effective plant nutrition solutions.

He shares what it was like to join the company in 2006 as Director of Sales, helping scale it from just five employees and $2 million in revenue to record-breaking growth. We talk about the buyout of the founder in 2018, how he leads with passion, and why his team would “run through a wall” for him.

Beyond business, Tim opens up about the challenges he’s faced, the family values that continue to shape AgXplore, and what the future holds for the company and the ag industry. Plus, we fire off some fun questions—from field snacks to the weirdest thing he’s seen in a field.

If you’re looking for a mix of leadership inspiration, ag innovation, and some good old-fashioned fun, this one’s for you.

Farming comes with a unique set of pressures—volatile markets, unpredictable weather, isolation, long hours—and all too often, these challenges are suffered in silence. Our guests explain why mental health is as critical as physical health, especially in rural communities where stigma and limited resources can make asking for help even harder.

We discuss early warning signs, how to start conversations when you’re worried about someone, and the resources available through Purdue Extension and beyond. You’ll also hear why mental health education isn’t just important for individuals, but for the health and strength of our entire ag community.

This episode is a reminder: You are not alone. Help is available, and taking care of your mental health is a sign of strength, not weakness.

We acknowledge the complexity of the debate—it’s not just about farmers hacking software but a broader discussion about safety, ownership, relationships, and trust.

Defining Right to Repair:

Farmers’ desire to access tools, diagnostics, and manuals to repair their equipment independently.

Manufacturers’ perspective on safety, emissions compliance, cybersecurity, and intellectual property rights.

What the Debate Is Really About:

It’s not as simple as “farmers vs. manufacturers.”

Broader implications for safety, environmental sustainability, and secure operation.

What Equipment Manufacturers Support:

According to the AEM statement, manufacturers support customers’ access to:

Safety materials, Manuals, service guides, and diagnostic tools.

Training, best practices, and parts at authorized prices.

 

The Bigger Picture – People, Personalities, and Perspectives 

Farmers’ Perspective:

Frustrations with downtime during critical seasons.

Stories of how delays in repair access have impacted operations.

The pride farmers take in being self-reliant and innovative problem-solvers.

Manufacturers’ Concerns:

Safety risks associated with untrained individuals performing repairs.

Cybersecurity risks and potential violations of emissions compliance.

Concerns about providing access to embedded proprietary software.

Trust and Collaboration:

The relationship between farmers, dealerships, and manufacturers.

Challenges in balancing farmers’ needs with manufacturers’ responsibility to protect their products and technology.

 

Breaking Down Key Issues

Manufacturer concerns about ensuring proper repair and maintenance practices.

Risks of unauthorized modifications leading to unsafe or non-compliant equipment.

Cybersecurity Threats:

Potential vulnerabilities in connected equipment and broader networks.

Real-world examples of what could go wrong if sensitive systems are compromised.

Economic Impacts:

How Right to Repair regulations could disrupt current market dynamics.

Concerns from manufacturers about government-mandated repair provisions.

A Free Market vs. Regulation:

Discussing manufacturers’ objection to laws dictating the cost and manner of repair information sharing.

The balance between fostering competition and protecting innovation.

 

Where Do We Go From Here?

What Needs to Change:

Open discussion on what each side—farmers and manufacturers—needs to consider to find common ground.

Charlie shares how the trucking lifestyle can be both chaotic and rewarding, what keeps him grounded, and how he uses humor and authenticity to connect with fans across the country. Whether you’re in agriculture, transportation, or just enjoy a great story, this episode will keep you entertained from start to finish.

Winning the War on Weeds: Soybean Herbicides Exploring the importance of a program-based approach to weed control in soybeans. Drake explains how farmers can get ahead of weed pressure by integrating multiple sites of action, using cultural practices like tillage and crop rotation, and applying preemergence herbicides before weeds become established.

With planting season approaching, the discussion highlights why preemergence herbicides are crucial for preventing weeds from emerging and setting the stage for season-long control. Corteva Agriscience is introducing two new preemergence solutions—Kyber® Pro and Sonic® Boom herbicides—which provide multiple modes of action to effectively target tough-to-control weeds while ensuring crop safety and tank-mix flexibility.

We also discuss the benefits of following up with a postemergence application, including how Enversa™ herbicide offers extended residual activity, superior tank-mix compatibility, and strong control against glyphosate- and ALS-resistant weeds. Drake breaks down how these new products fit into an integrated weed management system, ensuring farmers can maintain cleaner fields, protect yields, and sustain herbicide effectiveness for the future.

Throughout the episode, we also address common misconceptions about program-based weed control, including concerns over cost and complexity. Drake emphasizes that while a comprehensive weed management approach may require planning, the cost of neglecting weed control is far greater in terms of lost yield potential and resistance development.

Fragipan soils create a dense, compacted layer beneath the topsoil, restricting root growth and limiting access to nutrients and water, leading to significant yield loss.

We discuss the groundbreaking research from the University of Kentucky, where a 10-year study has explored using annual rye grass to break through the fragipan layer. Dr. Murdock and Billy explain how organic acids from rye roots help improve water infiltration, release trapped nutrients, and enhance crop yields—leading to real-world results of 160-220 bushel yields and even 300 bushels in NCGA trials.

Tune in to learn about innovative soil management strategies, products like Upward and Octane, and how farmers can start implementing these solutions to overcome fragipan challenges and boost profitability!

These witty takes remind us why we love our audience’s sense of humor.

Shifting gears, we explore the wisdom shared in farming conversations, like one listener’s advice about getting married as a farmer: “You either marry your high school sweetheart, wait for a divorce, or hope a new teacher or nurse moves to town.” Or the hard-hitting reality of crop insurance debates: “In what world do farmers have 100% protection?”

Some comments touch on personal farming challenges, like one listener sharing a scary incident with a sweep auger, and others highlight the importance of mental breaks, such as coffee groups: “It’s a mental break and social time for farmers who usually work alone.”

We wrap things up with insights from episodes like Unlock Farm Success, where listeners appreciated practical advice like using QR codes in equipment, and a memorable roast from Farm Life and Laughs with Oh Sheep Shit, dubbed “the most unhinged episode I’ve watched.”

Join us as we celebrate the community that keeps us motivated, entertained, and grounded. Whether you're here for laughs, learning, or lively debates, this episode has something for everyone!

Rod is a pioneer in the world of feral hog control, known for inventing the M.I.N.E. Trapping System and introducing thermal shooting techniques that have transformed the industry. With a 24-year career in the U.S. Army, including time with the elite Olympic Shooting Team, Rod's unique background and expertise have positioned him as a leader in effective wild pig management.

We dive deep into the story of JAGER PRO, the first private company to adapt military-grade technology for controlling feral hog populations. Their team, comprised of 10 retired soldiers with over 220 years of combined military experience, is dedicated to providing innovative solutions to combat the severe damage caused by wild pigs. We discuss their Integrated Wild Pig Control (IWPC®) model, which aims for 100% capture or kill performance, preventing pigs from surviving, reproducing, or becoming trap-educated.

Rod also shares insights from his recent research paper, Rethinking Our Approach to Wild Pig Control Data and Field Tasks, where he tested various trapping methods and highlighted the importance of whole-sounder removal for effective population control. We explore the findings from this study, including the effectiveness of mobile corral traps and the need for improved data collection under initiatives like the 2018 Farm Bill.

This episode provides a fascinating look into the challenges and successes of modern hog control methods, the impact of military tactics on feral swine management, and the future innovations that could further improve efficiency. Whether you’re a farmer, rancher, or just curious about wildlife control, you won’t want to miss this episode.

]]> Mon, 25 Nov 2024 06:00:00 +0000 farm4profitllc@gmail.com (Rod Pinkston) https://intro-to-farm4profit.simplecast.com/episodes/whole-sounder-success-effective-wild-pig-management-with-jager-pro-_J2jVr9f In this episode of the Farm4Profit Podcast, we welcome Rod Pinkston, the CEO and innovative force behind JAGER PRO. Rod is a pioneer in the world of feral hog control, known for inventing the M.I.N.E. Trapping System and introducing thermal shooting techniques that have transformed the industry. With a 24-year career in the U.S. Army, including time with the elite Olympic Shooting Team, Rod's unique background and expertise have positioned him as a leader in effective wild pig management.

We dive deep into the story of JAGER PRO, the first private company to adapt military-grade technology for controlling feral hog populations. Their team, comprised of 10 retired soldiers with over 220 years of combined military experience, is dedicated to providing innovative solutions to combat the severe damage caused by wild pigs. We discuss their Integrated Wild Pig Control (IWPC®) model, which aims for 100% capture or kill performance, preventing pigs from surviving, reproducing, or becoming trap-educated.

Rod also shares insights from his recent research paper, Rethinking Our Approach to Wild Pig Control Data and Field Tasks, where he tested various trapping methods and highlighted the importance of whole-sounder removal for effective population control. We explore the findings from this study, including the effectiveness of mobile corral traps and the need for improved data collection under initiatives like the 2018 Farm Bill.

This episode provides a fascinating look into the challenges and successes of modern hog control methods, the impact of military tactics on feral swine management, and the future innovations that could further improve efficiency. Whether you’re a farmer, rancher, or just curious about wildlife control, you won’t want to miss this episode.

Cost Efficiency: Propane is often cheaper than traditional fuels like diesel or gasoline. This can lead to significant savings on fuel expenses, allowing farmers to boost profitability and reduce overall operational costs

Environmental Benefits: Propane burns cleaner than conventional fuels, producing fewer greenhouse gas emissions. This helps farmers meet sustainability goals and align their operations with environmentally friendly practices​

Reliability & Performance: Propane-powered equipment, such as irrigation engines, delivers consistent and reliable performance, ensuring crops get the water they need during critical growing periods. Its versatility across different farming systems also supports a wide range of agricultural needs​

Incentives & Support: Farmers can take advantage of financial incentives, rebates, and tax credits for adopting propane-powered systems. PERC, for instance, offers programs that offset the initial investment, making it easier for farmers to transition to propane​

Versatility: Propane is used in multiple farming applications, including grain drying, space heating, water heating, and flame weeding. It’s also highly reliable for power generation in remote locations​

Bulk Fill Opportunities & On-Site Storage: Farmers can benefit from bulk fill programs, allowing them to lock in better pricing by buying propane in larger quantities. On-site propane storage is crucial, especially during peak farming seasons, ensuring a reliable fuel supply without the need for frequent deliveries​

Early Season Discounts & Early Tank Fills: Discuss how early season discounts and tank fills give farmers the chance to purchase propane at lower prices before demand spikes. These early fills prepare farmers for critical operations like grain drying or irrigation during harvest

Grain Drying & the Grain Drying Calculator: Propane is widely used for grain drying, especially in unpredictable weather. The propane grain drying calculator helps farmers estimate fuel needs and costs, optimizing drying times and fuel consumption​

Building Heating with Propane: Propane is also effective for heating farm buildings like barns and greenhouses, providing efficient and consistent heat, especially in cold seasons​

Husker Harvest Days Promo & Incentives: Highlight the special promotions farmers can access during events like Husker Harvest Days, and touch on the Propane Farm Incentive Program, which offers rebates for adopting propane-powered equipment​

Irrigation Cost Calculator & Propane-Powered Irrigation: Propane-powered irrigation systems help lower operational costs and ensure consistent performance. The irrigation cost calculator can assist farmers in determining how much they could save by switching to propane

New Propane Equipment for 2025: Encourage discussions on upgrading farm equipment to propane-powered options for 2025, emphasizing long-term savings, improved efficiency, and environmental benefits​

Ben and Morgan reveal how Farm Focused began in 2015 with a mission to bring practical efficiencies to farm operations. Initially sharing their message at local fairs and events, they gradually expanded their branded merchandise line, sparking interest across the farming community. Fast-forward to today, Farm Focused has grown into a recognizable brand, offering an apparel line that's shipped across the U.S. and internationally, with each item representing their dedication to the farming lifestyle. They collaborate with some of the biggest names in ag social media, including Millennial Farmer, The Cow Guy, and Welker Farms, amplifying their reach and impact.

This episode also touches on the adventurous spirit of their family. Ben and Morgan even tell us about the Big Red Challenge, a military-inspired obstacle course that showcases their commitment to resilience.

Looking into the heart of agriculture, finance, and the inspiring stories of those building our industry from the ground up! Today, we're thrilled to have Grant Wiese joining us—a dedicated husband, father, and South Central Nebraska native with a unique blend of expertise as both an ag lender and farmer. false full 437 d36d4342-7718-4f75-ab0b-043e336d2fb4 F4F - Cale Carlson - LEAAD Farms We’ll start by getting to know a bit more about Cale’s background—growing up on his family’s century-old farm, how he ventured out on his own by renting land from a neighbor in 1998, and the incorporation of LEAAD Farms in 2012, named as an acronym for his children. Alongside his wife Magan, who he married in 1999, and their five kids, Cale grows corn, seed corn, soybeans, raises hogs and cattle, and relies on his trusty John Deere equipment.

On social media, Cale has cultivated an impressive presence, especially on YouTube, where over 33.2k subscribers tune in weekly to follow his farming journey, bringing in more than half a million views. We’ll dig into what inspired him to start sharing online, how his life has changed because of social media, and which platforms have been his favorite to connect with his audience.

But it’s not all about work—Cale and his wife recently celebrated their 25th anniversary with a two-week trip to Europe, visiting Austria, Switzerland, and Italy. We’ll get a few fun insights into that trip, what inspired it, and maybe a few highlights from their adventure.

We are proud to present U.S. Paralympic Athlete, Rancher, and Father Kevan Hueftle. In 2005 Kevan also known as “Flea” was involved in a hunting accident that led to an amputation of his left leg below the knee. Consequently, Flea struggled with alcoholism due to the tragic loss of his limb and the constant pain he suffered as an amputee. Through perseverance and grit, Flea decided to defy the odds and would eventually compete on the US Track and Field teams and medal as an elite Paralympic Athlete. Kevan is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with limb loss or addiction.

Kevan is a husband, father, rancher, and motivational speaker. He has been a member of the U.S. Paralympic track and field team. 

Works at Lazy Creek Beef Company LLC

starting when he was 20 years old. He had been hunting and while pulling the gun out of the truck, it went off, shooting him in the foot. After several surgeries his leg was amputated below the knee.

“To say my life has been easy … there have been parts that have been harder than others,” he said. “I’m still living a dream of mine.”

At the time of the accident, he was on the track and field team at the University of Nebraska at Kearney.

Hueftle talked about fitting a prosthetic. He said the first seven years were miserable and the prosthetic didn’t fit. He also talked about the depression that followed the amputation.“I knew it was going to be tough, but it was really, really hard. I was an alcoholic for seven years. I was a person that I would never look up to.”

“To say my life has been easy … there have been parts that have been harder than others,” he said. “I’m still living a dream of mine.”

At the time of the accident, he was on the track and field team at the University of Nebraska at Kearney.

Hueftle talked about fitting a prosthetic. He said the first seven years were miserable and the prosthetic didn’t fit. He also talked about the depression that followed the amputation.“I knew it was going to be tough, but it was really, really hard. I was an alcoholic for seven years. I was a person that I would never look up to.”

Welker Farms has captivated viewers with its blend of farming expertise, entertaining content, and authentic storytelling, creating an incredible connection with a global audience of agricultural enthusiasts. In this interview, Nick and Scott share the backstory of how their YouTube channel began, its evolution over the years, and their motivation for opening up their lives on the farm for the world to see.

We dive deep into the day-to-day operations at Welker Farms, exploring how the entire family contributes to the farm’s success and how that translates into the content they create for their channel. The Welkers give us a behind-the-scenes look at the joys and challenges of balancing full-time farming with video production, editing, and the occasional blooper reel. They discuss how the content they produce has shifted over time in response to their growing audience and share some hilarious moments and mishaps that didn’t make the final cut. You'll hear about their favorite pieces of equipment to operate, as well as the tasks they’d rather avoid if given the choice!

Beyond their role as YouTubers, Nick and Scott are deeply committed to their local community and agriculture at large. They talk about how their channel has positively impacted their hometown and inspired others in the farming industry to embrace technology and share their own stories. As the episode comes to a close, they share their vision for the future of Welker Farms—both on and off the screen—and the legacy they hope to leave behind for future generations.

Today, we've got a real treat for you as we introduce a guest who's as passionate about ranching as he is about cooking up a storm in the kitchen.

Our guest today is none other than River Klass, the charismatic host of "Ranch America," a show that takes you on a journey through the rugged landscapes and fascinating lives of ranchers across the country. Raised on a family ranch in Calaveras County, California, River has lived the authentic cowboy life, balancing his love for the land with his culinary talents.

River isn't just a rancher—he’s a chef, an entrepreneur, and a storyteller. He's spent his life not only working the land but also sharing the stories of those who dedicate their lives to it. From raising cattle with his wife Marci and their team at Calaveras Cowgirl Beef to running two popular restaurants in Murphys, CA, River knows what it takes to make ranching and farming a way of life, not just a job.

In today’s episode, we’ll hear some incredible stories—like how drones are replacing horses on the ranch, the tale of a $1.4 million bull, and the unforgettable experience of a Highland cow ranch visit. And of course, we'll dive into some lively discussions, touching on everything from protecting animals throughout their lives to the best cuts of meat, the importance of innovation in farming, and even what happens when wine meets cows.

So, whether you're tuning in from the cab of your tractor or listening while tending to your herd, get ready for an episode packed with laughter, inspiration, and a whole lot of ranching wisdom. Let’s welcome River Klass to the Farm4Profit Podcast!

In today’s episode, we’ll hear some incredible stories—like how drones are replacing horses on the ranch, the tale of a $1.4 million bull, and the unforgettable experience of a Highland cow ranch visit. And of course, we'll dive into some lively discussions, touching on everything from protecting animals throughout their lives to the best cuts of meat, the importance of innovation in farming, and even what happens when wine meets cows.

So, whether you're tuning in from the cab of your tractor or listening while tending to your herd, get ready for an episode packed with laughter, inspiration, and a whole lot of ranching wisdom. Let’s welcome River Klass to the Farm4Profit Podcast!

Wine Growers Bios

 

Steve Sangiacomo is a third-generation partner at Sangiacomo Family Vineyards, located in Sonoma, California

where his family has farmed since 1927. He grew up on the ranch and began learning the ropes from his father and

extended family at a young age. As far back as he can remember, he clamored to tag along with his father and

uncles during early morning frost protection after which he enjoyed a special treat — doughnuts. He took to the

fields early and recalls jumping off a tractor to race to seventh-grade orientation. In his early 20s, he began

learning the family business from the ground up and in his 30s he and his brother Mike took over the reins.

Mike Sangiacomo is a third-generation partner at Sangiacomo Family Vineyards, located in Sonoma, California,

where his family has farmed since 1927. He has lived and breathed agriculture from the day he was born. His

grandfather taught him how to prune fruit trees from the ground up when he was eight years old and was too

short to climb the ladder. Later he was thrilled when, at age 12, his uncle Buck let him drive the fork lift during

harvest. Shortly thereafter he began assisting at the inspection station for pears as they were sorted for the

canneries. When the family business transitioned from orchards to vineyards he began learning the intricacies of

grapegrowing and has never looked back.

About Sangiacomo Wines:

Farming is in our blood. As third-generation farmers in Sonoma, we’ve upheld our family’s tradition of growing

premium grapes since planting our first vines in 1969. Our Sangiacomo wines reflect our passion for the region,

focusing on complexity, freshness, and terroir. We farm over 1600 acres of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay across 15

vineyards in four AVAs: Carneros, Sonoma Coast, Petaluma Gap, and Sonoma Valley, with additional Cabernet

Sauvignon in Oakville, Napa Valley. Each vineyard block is farmed with an artisanal approach, highlighting the

unique microclimates and soil diversity of our land.

Today, we're diving into a unique and powerful educational resource that's transforming how farmers approach merchandising and risk management—Agris Academy. Joining us are the dynamic founders, Jeff Kazin and Mike Rohlfsen, who bring decades of experience in the grain trade and agricultural start-ups.

In today's episode, we'll learn what sets Agris Academy apart from traditional broker advisory services and explore the journey that led to its creation. From building their master class to becoming "professors" of their trade, Jeff and Mike have plenty of insights to share. We'll discuss the common myths in the industry, the challenges, and rewards of teaching, and what farmers can gain from a deeper understanding of merchandising.

We'll also get tactical—who stood out among Agris Academy's students in 2023, what it takes to market a crop when you're below the cost of production, and how to improve skills in an industry that's constantly evolving. Plus, we'll hear about Jeff's experience in hiring a CIA analyst for intelligence operations—yes, you heard that right!

Jeff and Mike will also provide a glimpse into what Agris Academy offers, who the typical students are, and what changes are coming to their classes. Whether you're a farmer looking to sharpen your skills or an industry partner wanting to connect, this episode has something for everyone.

So, let's jump in and discover how Agris Academy is helping farmers succeed in today's challenging agricultural landscape!

This review is coming from a guy who has grown up in the inner city, Chicago specifically. Ironically, living in the city most of my life has fueled my desire for a more rural life and that’s led me to AG, and AG related podcasts. I love everything about the life and the information you gentlemen give us weekly. My eyes have really been opened. Keep up the excellent work.

Can you tell us a bit about your background 

Agritourism Benefits:

  1. Let's start with the basics: What exactly is agritourism, why is it becoming a growing revenue stream for farmers?
  2. How does agritourism help farmers become less dependent on market conditions, politics, and weather?

Monetizing Non-Ag Acres:

  1. Farms have non-agricultural land like woods or marginal land. How can this help farmers monetize these areas?
  2. Can you share some examples of successful agritourism activities that utilize these non-ag acres?

Stacking Enterprises:

  1. Agritourism can also be a way to stack enterprises on the same agricultural land. How can farmers integrate agritourism with their existing farming operations?
  2. What are some creative ways farmers have used marginal crops to attract visitors and generate revenue?

Full-Time Salary Potential:

  1. Does this have enough earning potential to support a full-time salary for another family member?
  2. What are some steps farmers can take to reach this level of success in agritourism?

LandTrust Services:

  1. LandTrust provides a range of services like liability coverage, booking, and marketing. Can you explain how these services benefit farmers and simplify their involvement in agritourism?
  2. How does LandTrust ensure that landowners maintain complete control over their property while participating in agritourism activities?
  3. What are the key responsibilities of LandTrust in this partnership, and what can farmers expect from your team?

Real-World Impact:

  1. Can you share some success stories of farmers who have partnered with LandTrust and seen significant benefits?
  2. What feedback have you received from farmers about the impact of agritourism on their overall business and community?

Future of Agritourism:

  1. How do you see the future of agritourism evolving, especially in terms of technology and consumer interest?
  2. What advice would you give to farmers who are considering venturing into agritourism but are unsure where to start?

Closing:

  1. Where can listeners learn more about LandTrust and how to get started with agritourism on their own farms?

    • HISTORY OF IOWA CORN & THE SPEEDWAY (WHY NASCAR)

    25,000+ seats sold out for the race and 1000 farmers and their families present to watch their product in action on the fastest short-track in the nation surrounded by corn fields.

    A large, national audience excited about the power and performance of ethanol with 4.1 million unique viewers.

    Driving online traffic and increasing brand exposure with 7.6 million digital page views.

    If you divide Iowa’s 2023 corn crop by the race’s 350 laps, each time around the track would equate to 7 million bushels. Corn is a major economic engine for the state.

    Pure Enjoyment:

    12/21/23 – Thur – F4F – E251 (E344) “Just a Jackson Thing” plus cousins Brad and Becca (Jackson)

                Watching tractors rolling in the field with smoke, filling up with seeds all the way through corn and bean harvest. 

                Blowing smoke, gettin’ er done.  Let ’er eat!

     

    11/16/23 – Thur – F4F – E246 (E334) One Legged Mommy – Josie Wendel

    Love of the game!  It doesn’t matter to a farmer if they’re winning or losing in a year, they’ll go right back out to plant again next spring. It’s in their blood…the Love of the ‘farming’ game!

    How do you think we can draw upon the enjoyment we all have in farming to entice or educate those that are outside of agriculture?

    Top Tier People:

    11/23/23 – Thur – F4F – E247 (E336) John Kowalshuk, Alberta, Canada

                It’s the people.  There are so many awesome people to talk with and learn from.  I’m proud to be a farmer.

                We are quality people.

     

    9/28/23 – Thur – F4F – E240 (E320)  Tim Marks -Tractor Time with Tim – Super charged compact tractors FPS23

                The quality of the people in the ag industry is incredible.

    What is it that makes the people of agriculture such stand up people?  Where did this originate?

    Quality of Life – Pride in Life Style:

    10/23/23 – Mon – F4P – E149 (E327) Digital Agriculture: Sowing the Seeds of Online Income – FPS23

    Natalie – It’s the lifestyle it provides.  Farming/ranching is so integrated into our lifestyle.  The pros outweigh the cons, for sure.  The best people are in the farming industry.

     

    9/21/23 – Thur – F4F – E240 (E318) The Modern Day Farm Chick – Annaliese Wegner FPS23

    It’s the Lifestyle.  It’s more than just a job.  I get to work with family, be outside and have the kids grow up on the farm.

    Does this type of lifestyle make it better than other types?  What are the benefits of the lifestyle? Detriments?

    Connection to Family:

    10/12/23 – Thur – F4F – E241 (E324) Tony Reed & Nick McCormick – Illinois icons

                Tony – It’s one big family.  You can relate in so many areas/topics.  It’s easy to talk to each other.

     

    10/9/23 – Mon – F4P – E147 (E323) Zach Johnson, Millennial Farmer FPS23 Reflection/summary show

    What do you enjoy most about farming or working with farmers?I love raising my kids on the farm.It’s the most rewarding of anything I do.  Having them watch the cycle of life through crops and livestock and working hard.

    Do you think the connection to family is still as strong today as it was a generation or two ago?

    Always driving forward:

    9/11/23  – Mon – F4P – E143 (E315) Thinking ahead: The Key to Farm Success – Sukup, 3rd generation Emily Schmitt FPS23

    They are natural innovators and problem solvers.  Farmers are the epitome of an innovator.  They figure out how to make things work.  When you meet them and get to know them, you have a natural common bond in farming.  It’s easy to get to know them.

     

    11/2/23 – Thur – F4F – E244 (E330) Deeply Rooted in Technology - Brandon Hunnicutt Husker Harvest Days 

    They have the same goals in mind, but everyone does it differently.  You can see they do something differently.  But different doesn’t mean it’s wrong.  Learn from it.  There is always something to learn.

    Is it innovation by necessity or innovation by nature?  Can or does this show up in other types of professions?

    1. What defines a utility-scale renewable energy project and how it works (quick definition of wind/solar projects and how they work)

    2. What it’s like for a farmer to lease land to a renewable energy project (speaking with developers, signing a lease, etc)

    3. How renewable energy projects can (and should) coexist with agriculture: (i.e. how wind turbines take very little space from farming land so farmers can continue to work the land. Not the same for solar projects, but farmers can grow crops next to solar sites, herd sheep within solar sites, and how the land will be fertile for agriculture once the solar site is decommissioned).

    4. Pros and cons of leasing land to a renewable energy project

     

    ✅Pros of leasing land to a renewable energy project:

    • Steady Income Stream (how much on average can a farmer earn from leasing land to a renewable energy project?)
    • Minimal Impact on Land (especially wind)
    • Local Economic Benefits (local tax revenue that can go to schools, infrastructure, emergency services, etc)
    • Energy Security and Grid Resilience (enhancing national energy security)
    • Contribution to Renewable Energy (reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels and increase energy independence)
    • Save American family farms (additional income has been a lifesaver and helped keep family farms from being sold to developers and maintain that agricultural profile of a county)

    ❎Cons of leasing land to a renewable energy project:

    • Long-term Commitment (leases typically lasting 20 to 30 years)
    • Land Use Restrictions (specifically for solar farms, usable farmland is often taken out of production)
    • Need to provide access to company staff ( i.e. tech to service the turbines or panels)
    • Potential Environmental Impact (how the installation and decommissioning processes can have environmental impacts)
    • Sale of leased land can be complicated (if the land is already generating revenue from the lease then selling is easier. The lease can be transferred as long as it is covered in the lease agreement. Consult a lawyer for that)

     

    5. How generating solar/wind energy is a form of harvesting in itself

    6. Things to consider if you’re a farmer considering leasing land to a renewable energy project.

    • Discuss potential impacts during construction
    • Decommissioning process and responsibilities at the end of 20-30 years (so people remember grandpa/ grandma fondly :)
    • Supporting  your local community with many benefits that pay for essential public services for your county

    7. Opportunity to answer commonly asked questions/misconceptions of renewable energy projects: 

    • Whether renewable energy projects affect property value
    • Whether solar panels render land infertile
    • Whether wind turbines are loud (in general wind turbines generate about 30- 45 decibels at 300 ft while the limit is 55 decibel. With proper setback in places where wind turbines are built, people are more likely to hear traffic from a distant highway than the turbine itself)
    • Do wind turbines kill birds? (yes about 300K in the US but that is nothing compared to cats, buildings, pesticides, and cars that kill millions of birds per year)
    • Whether renewable energy projects are funded by taxpayer money or by private investments (private investments. In fact a lot of fossil fuel companies are now making investments in renewable energy because the margins are better than generating power from gas or coal. Additionally like most energy projects clean energy companies make annual payment to the county tax revenues and support  community benefits)
    • Whether wind and solar energy are more expensive than coal or gas (see Lazard’s levelized cost of energy 2023 report)
    • Supposedly 7-10% of the electricity generated is lost so where does that go?  Ground water? Livestock, family?

    8. Advice to farm landowners considering leasing land to a solar or wind project.

     

    *It goes without saying but it’s important for landowners considering leasing land to a clean energy project to consult with relevant legal and financial experts for their unique situation before finalizing any agreements. There are resources like the Center for Rural Opportunity and Power (CROP) that provide good, unbiased information on how to get access to these resources as a landowner. CROP’s mission is to educate audiences about the benefits of energy independence.You can visit their website cropamerica.com or drop them an email contact@cropamerica.com for more info.

    ]]>     Mon, 8 Jul 2024 05:00:00 +0000 farm4profitllc@gmail.com (Laurie Mazer) https://intro-to-farm4profit.simplecast.com/episodes/the-real-roi-of-renewable-energy-and-agriculture-coexistence-aHLS_J_k How do “Large Scale” Solar and Wind projects get started?

    1. What defines a utility-scale renewable energy project and how it works (quick definition of wind/solar projects and how they work)

    2. What it’s like for a farmer to lease land to a renewable energy project (speaking with developers, signing a lease, etc)

    3. How renewable energy projects can (and should) coexist with agriculture: (i.e. how wind turbines take very little space from farming land so farmers can continue to work the land. Not the same for solar projects, but farmers can grow crops next to solar sites, herd sheep within solar sites, and how the land will be fertile for agriculture once the solar site is decommissioned).

    4. Pros and cons of leasing land to a renewable energy project

     

    ✅Pros of leasing land to a renewable energy project:

    • Steady Income Stream (how much on average can a farmer earn from leasing land to a renewable energy project?)
    • Minimal Impact on Land (especially wind)
    • Local Economic Benefits (local tax revenue that can go to schools, infrastructure, emergency services, etc)
    • Energy Security and Grid Resilience (enhancing national energy security)
    • Contribution to Renewable Energy (reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels and increase energy independence)
    • Save American family farms (additional income has been a lifesaver and helped keep family farms from being sold to developers and maintain that agricultural profile of a county)

    ❎Cons of leasing land to a renewable energy project:

    • Long-term Commitment (leases typically lasting 20 to 30 years)
    • Land Use Restrictions (specifically for solar farms, usable farmland is often taken out of production)
    • Need to provide access to company staff ( i.e. tech to service the turbines or panels)
    • Potential Environmental Impact (how the installation and decommissioning processes can have environmental impacts)
    • Sale of leased land can be complicated (if the land is already generating revenue from the lease then selling is easier. The lease can be transferred as long as it is covered in the lease agreement. Consult a lawyer for that)

     

    5. How generating solar/wind energy is a form of harvesting in itself

    6. Things to consider if you’re a farmer considering leasing land to a renewable energy project.

    • Discuss potential impacts during construction
    • Decommissioning process and responsibilities at the end of 20-30 years (so people remember grandpa/ grandma fondly :)
    • Supporting  your local community with many benefits that pay for essential public services for your county

    7. Opportunity to answer commonly asked questions/misconceptions of renewable energy projects: 

    • Whether renewable energy projects affect property value
    • Whether solar panels render land infertile
    • Whether wind turbines are loud (in general wind turbines generate about 30- 45 decibels at 300 ft while the limit is 55 decibel. With proper setback in places where wind turbines are built, people are more likely to hear traffic from a distant highway than the turbine itself)
    • Do wind turbines kill birds? (yes about 300K in the US but that is nothing compared to cats, buildings, pesticides, and cars that kill millions of birds per year)
    • Whether renewable energy projects are funded by taxpayer money or by private investments (private investments. In fact a lot of fossil fuel companies are now making investments in renewable energy because the margins are better than generating power from gas or coal. Additionally like most energy projects clean energy companies make annual payment to the county tax revenues and support  community benefits)
    • Whether wind and solar energy are more expensive than coal or gas (see Lazard’s levelized cost of energy 2023 report)
    • Supposedly 7-10% of the electricity generated is lost so where does that go?  Ground water? Livestock, family?

    8. Advice to farm landowners considering leasing land to a solar or wind project.

     

    *It goes without saying but it’s important for landowners considering leasing land to a clean energy project to consult with relevant legal and financial experts for their unique situation before finalizing any agreements. There are resources like the Center for Rural Opportunity and Power (CROP) that provide good, unbiased information on how to get access to these resources as a landowner. CROP’s mission is to educate audiences about the benefits of energy independence.You can visit their website cropamerica.com or drop them an email contact@cropamerica.com for more info.

    In this episode of the Farm4Profit podcast, we welcome Carson, famously known as the 6th Gen Farmer. Carson, along with his brother Chris and father Ryan, carries on a rich family farming legacy in South Western Minnesota. Known for his engaging and humorous approach to promoting agriculture, Carson has amassed a significant following on social media with over 1,000 Facebook followers, 5,000 Instagram followers, and 23,100 YouTube subscribers.

    Carson shares insights into their farming operations, which include the use of advanced John Deere equipment, like their new combine added in 2023. The farm primarily produces organic sweet corn and peas, and Carson delves into their practices in precision agriculture. He also talks about Agra-GPS, a system he sells that integrates with Deere equipment, explaining how it works and the equipment he's mounted it to.

    Listeners will learn about Carson's background, including his time working for C&B Operations as a John Deere dealer and his experience rebuilding a JD 6000 Highboy sprayer. With over 255 videos on YouTube, Carson provides a wealth of content showcasing the daily life and innovations on their farm.

    We also explore Carson's motivations for sharing his farming journey on social media, the cool experiences and people he's met along the way, and his advice for others looking to make their mark in agriculture. Plus, don't miss Carson's take on the best food he's ever had and where he got it.

    Tune in for an entertaining and educational conversation with Carson, the 6th Gen Farmer, as he shares his story and passion for agriculture.

    Carson shares insights into their farming operations, which include the use of advanced John Deere equipment, like their new combine added in 2023. The farm primarily produces organic sweet corn and peas, and Carson delves into their practices in precision agriculture. He also talks about Agra-GPS, a system he sells that integrates with Deere equipment, explaining how it works and the equipment he's mounted it to.

    Listeners will learn about Carson's background, including his time working for C&B Operations as a John Deere dealer and his experience rebuilding a JD 6000 Highboy sprayer. With over 255 videos on YouTube, Carson provides a wealth of content showcasing the daily life and innovations on their farm.

    We also explore Carson's motivations for sharing his farming journey on social media, the cool experiences and people he's met along the way, and his advice for others looking to make their mark in agriculture. Plus, don't miss Carson's take on the best food he's ever had and where he got it.

Combining his passion for cattle and construction, Chad founded TenCorp, Inc. in 2007 and remains deeply involved in the cattle industry. He has partnered with local producers to build two state-of-the-art turn-key cattle operations.

    Chad is here to introduce Legacy Beef Co-op, a revolutionary cattle producer co-op that bases cattle pricing on the Boxed Beef Cutout, reflecting true consumer demand. We'll explore how this co-op aims to provide higher revenue potential, economies of scale, and favorable processing obligations, ensuring cattle producers are not forced to sell in markets influenced by external forces.

    We'll discuss Legacy Beef Co-op's new packing plant investment opportunity for Midwest family farm beef producers, offering them a share of retail beef profits and participation in the Cattlemen’s Heritage Beef Company. Chad will share insights on the project's timing, structure, and how it benefits producers, including ideal membership and the future of meat production.

    Join us for an enlightening episode as we delve into the innovative world of Legacy Beef Co-op with Chad Tentinger. Stay tuned!

    • Introducing Legacy Beef Co-op.
    • A cattle producer co-op that will base the selling of cattle on the Boxed Beef Cutout. A pricing system reflective of consumer demand. In addition to ownership in Cattlemen’s Heritage Beef Company, the co-op will provide these benefits:
    • Cattle Producers should not be forced to sell their cattle in a market influenced by outside forces, that is not reflective of true consumer driven demand and values.
    • How is Legacy Beef Coop going to help with this?
    • Higher revenue potential
    • Economy of Scale
    • Processing Obligations
    • Legacy Beef Co-op today announced a new packing plant investment opportunity that would give family farm beef producers in throughout the Midwest in, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and South Dakota access to a larger portion of the retail beef dollar. 
    • How does this work with ownership?
    • Through ownership in Legacy Beef Co-op, beef producers would become investors in the Cattlemen’s Heritage Beef Company facility in Mills County, Iowa, and participate in its profitability. They would also become suppliers to the facility and enjoy economies of scale typically available only to large corporate feedlots, including pricing based on retail beef value (Boxed Beef Cutout) rather than the CME model, as well as more favorable delivery alternatives.https://legacybeefcoop.com/

    Introduction:

    Today, we're excited to have Mary Jo Irmen, founder of WithoutTheBank.com, joining us to discuss how she helps farmers achieve financial independence.

    Mary Jo, could you start by giving us a brief overview of your background and how you got involved in helping farmers with their finances?

    • It was never my intent to teach the world about the Infinite Baking Concept much less write two books. However, sometimes in life things find you and in the 2008 the stock market crash lead me to the Infinite Banking Concept.
    • That was all I needed, FiscalBridge, LLC was born then and there. I quickly found people were not comfortable with handling their own finances because the industry leads us to believe we are not smart enough. 
    • This was a truth no one told me about, it is my mission to share it with all and make sure it’s done so in a way you understand and succeed.

     

    Understanding the Concept of Financial Independence

    • Mary Jo, many farmers may not be familiar with the idea of financial independence. Can you explain what it means in the context of farming?
    • How does achieving financial independence differ from simply turning a profit in farming?
    • What if I am skeptical?
    • What is Human Life Value? How much insurance can I have?
    • What if you are not insurable?
    • How old is this concept?
    • Can I use policies I already have?
    • Where do I find my money to start?

    The Role of Banking and Finance in Farming

    • How does your approach differ from conventional banking?
    • What are some common financial challenges that farmers face, and how do you help them overcome these challenges?
    • With your program where do traditional banks fit now?

    Building Wealth and Stability

    • What are some key strategies you recommend for farmers looking to secure their financial future?
    • Can you share any success stories or examples of farmers who have significantly improved their financial situation through your guidance?

    Addressing Common Misconceptions

    • What are some of these misconceptions, and how do you debunk them?
    • What advice do you have for farmers who may be hesitant to explore alternative financial strategies?
    • Can you mix and match?

    Looking Ahead

    • As the agricultural industry continues to evolve, what trends do you see emerging in terms of financial management for farmers?

      Sue Brakhane, Chief Agronomist

      Travis Biggs, Imaging Services Director

    INTERVIEW FLOW AND TOPICS (OR GOALS)

    -  Circle back to who we are as a company, reference founding partners Danny Assman and Ryan Schroeder and their original Farm4Profit interview.

    -  Emphasize the differences of Terraplex as a drone sales company (our emphasis on service) REALLY deep dive into services. More than just servicing and repairing drones when they crash, but the after-sale service aspect too. Our customers learn SO MUCH more by spending time with our team at drone delivery. We’re so much more than just a “drone-in-a-box” company. (Expand on how *some* companies sell a drone, then ship ‘em...and you’re done).

    -  Our customers will learn more about they’re buying from us, working with our team members – than they will going it alone, watching YouTube videos.

    -  Additional Terraplex services expanding into imaging and crop analysis. (Enter importance of having Sue and Travis on our team – what other drone sales company is doing that - ? )

      What can farmers learn about their operations with our imaging drones? Gonna learn more about what you’re buying from us - with our team members – than you will go alone, watching YouTube videos.

      Touch on agronomic insights of crop analysis. How understanding MORE about crops can lead to better decision making with fungicide or foliar application. Ability to go back of WHERE we need to spray, WHAT we need to spray (and how often)

    -  Agronomic update. What is the incredibly wet start to this planting season doing right now?

      Touch on agronomic insights of crop analysis. How understanding MORE about crops can lead to better decision making with fungicide or foliar application. Ability to go back of WHERE we need to spray, WHAT we need to spray (and how often)

    -  Agronomic update. What is the incredibly wet start to this planting season doing right now?

    1. Cattle feeding company based out of SW Iowa, focused on helping and creating more opportunities for the mid-market cattlemen
    2. Level the playing field for them so they can compete in the industry
    3. We primarily do two things as a company – We Feed Cattle. Provide Additional Services to Cattle Feeders to help them make more money
    4. One of those services being our Cattle Business Systems
    5. Addressing Challenges in Cattle Ranching: 
    6. Could you elaborate on the various challenges cattlemen face on a daily basis? 
    7. In what ways were these challenges impacting your profitability and competitiveness in the industry?
    8. As we record in Spring of 2024 what type of a market are we coming out of and what type of market are we currently sitting in?
    9. Cattle Business Systems
    10. What is it? 
    11. Well, we recognize that cattlemen wear multiple hats every day and deal with lots of different people : Examples (scrap the pens, processing cattle, oh and your order buyer is calling you saying he’s got a good deal on cattle, while your broker is wanting you to trade the crush and hedge cattle…etc..)
    12. We faced the same thing in our operation, and therefore we weren’t competing in the industry. 
    13. So we spent time and focused on who was winning in the industry and concluded that we needed to develop a team of people to help us align all of our decisions in our operation and keep us accountable
    14. Why does CBS work?
    15. The Concept Behind Cattle Business Systems: 
    16. What inspired you to develop a team-based approach to tackling these challenges? 
    17. How does Cattle Business Systems aim to align decisions within a cattle operation and ensure accountability?
    18. Empowering Cattlemen:
    19. What are ways we can empower cattlemen to make informed decisions?
    20. What advantages do some producers have over others?
    21. What is the vision of Balance4Ward for the future of the cattle market?
    22. What indicators have your crew/team been paying attention to?
    23. The Sale
    24. So, Cattle Business Systems, is a monthly membership, that includes a monthly meeting and gives them full access to our team along with full transparency of what we are doing in our own operation to help give them confidence to make decisions and get more of an equal advantage in the industry
    25. Our job is to meet with our clients every month, identify opportunities, help them prioritize those, and execute if needed. 
    26. And if guys need help executing on those decisions, we have additional services through our platform that we can help them do that – B4W Advantage, B4W Feeders, New Balance Commodities, B4W Operations

     

    1. Why Balance4Ward?
    2. We do it, we have skin in the game
    3. Totally transparent on what we are doing in our own operation at B4W
    4. Everything from risk management, feed, operations, buying/selling of cattle, corn
    5. There is no conflict of interest – not trying to margin you into something else
    6. Example: How does this decision affect all the other ones I have to make in my operation
    7. Proactive in everything we do (18 months) – we try to maximize/ be the best at profit per head – not about to volume to us
    8. Separate the farmer vs. The feeder 
    9. Contact us for more information. What are the next steps in learning more about us and what we have to offer?
    10. What is the best food you have ever eaten and where did you get it from?

Welcome to the Farm4Profit Podcast! In this episode, we're joined by Karl Armstrong, a farmer from Southwestern Ontario. Karl shares insights into his farming operation, which focuses on corn, wheat, and soybeans, and winter barley.

    Beyond the fields, Karl enjoys camping year-round, even in the snow, with a favorite spot being Pinery Provincial Park. He adds a humorous touch to his social media presence, incorporating puns with pictures of Travis Kelce and Andy Reid during games.

    As a self-proclaimed semi-amateur professional drone crasher, Karl also discusses his experience with John Deere equipment, including the DB60 planter and the 8400R tractor. During harvest season in 2018, he managed a fleet of 5-7 S670 combines.

    We delve into Karl's perspective on social media and how it has impacted his life. He shares his reasons for being active on social platforms, advice for starting over, favorite platforms, and strategies for getting his message across effectively.

With a rich background in agriculture spanning four continents, Justin brings a wealth of experience to the discussion.

    Justin's journey in agriculture began on his family's farm in Iowa, where he cultivated a deep appreciation for the land and its potential. After earning his bachelor's degree in Agronomy from Iowa State University in 2000, Justin embarked on a remarkable career that has taken him across North America, South America, Europe, and Africa. Along the way, he has gained invaluable insights into different agricultural practices, market dynamics, and investment opportunities.

    As the Co-Founder and Chairman of AgFunder.com, Justin has played a pivotal role in revolutionizing agriculture crowdfunding. With a 100% focus on funding agriculture projects, AgFunder.com has become one of the largest platforms of its kind in the world, empowering farmers and entrepreneurs to bring their ideas to life.

    In our conversation with Justin, we explore the intriguing topic of land investment and its significance in securing the farming future. We delve into the reasons why people invest in land, examining its long-term benefits and potential for growth. Justin shares his insights on alternative methods for land acquisition beyond traditional means, such as inheritance, cash purchases, or bank financing.

    Furthermore, we discuss the economics of purchasing land in the current environment, addressing common concerns about cash flow and record-breaking land prices. Justin sheds light on how implementing organic practices can affect access to land, highlighting the challenges and considerations involved in transitioning to organic farming.

    One particularly fascinating aspect we explore is the role of land investment in the carbon market. Justin explains how investing in land can contribute to carbon sequestration and water conservation, aligning with sustainable farming practices and environmental stewardship.

    Throughout our conversation, Justin emphasizes the enduring appeal of land investment, despite potentially lower returns compared to other market options. We examine the non-monetary benefits of land ownership, including lifestyle factors, legacy considerations, and the satisfaction of preserving the environment.

    As we look to the future, Justin shares his predictions for emerging trends in land investment and sustainable practices. He discusses potential challenges and opportunities on the horizon, offering valuable insights for farmers and investors alike.

With her wealth of experience in agriculture and her dynamic personality, Bridgette promises to deliver valuable insights and engaging discussions. Stay tuned for an enlightening episode! women in ag, am radio, bison, wday, north dakota false full 382     edb4342c-a46c-4218-a332-ee383c09a187 Unveiling the Power of Micro-Captive Insurance - The 831(b) Advantage In this insightful episode of the Farm4Profit Podcast, we explore the fascinating world of Micro-Captive Insurance with none other than Van Carlson, the esteemed Founder & CEO of SRA. With over twenty-five years of experience in the risk management industry, Van brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table, sharing valuable insights on how small to mid-market businesses can leverage 831(b) Plans to effectively manage their property and casualty risks while enjoying significant tax benefits.

    Van's journey in the industry began with Farmers Insurance Group, where he started as an agent and swiftly rose to prominence, growing his book of business to become one of the largest in his home state of Idaho. Today, his primary goal is to continue the upward trajectory of SRA, constantly innovating and developing new products to meet the evolving needs of the market.

    The heart of this episode lies in understanding the intricacies of 831(b) Plans and how they offer a unique opportunity for business owners to retain up to 50% of their risk and premiums. By placing funds in a tax-deferred 831(b) Plan, businesses can build a funded reserve for potential losses, thus gaining greater control over claims and even participating in underwriting profits within their plan. It's an ideal strategy for savvy business owners willing to take calculated risks for greater rewards.

    Van also draws parallels between 401(k) and 831(b) accounts, shedding light on their similarities in terms of tax benefits, contribution limits, and compliance requirements. However, the real magic of 831(b) Plans lies in their ability to mitigate various business risks that may not be covered by traditional insurance, such as supply chain interruptions, cybersecurity attacks, and even brand damage.

    Delving deeper into the history of 831(b) Microcaptives, Van discusses the legislative milestones and regulatory framework that have shaped their evolution over the years. From the Tax Reform Act of 1986 to the more recent PATH Act of 2015, which increased premium amounts and introduced inflation riders, these legislative developments have made 831(b) Plans an increasingly attractive option for businesses seeking comprehensive risk management solutions.

    Join us as we unravel the complexities of Micro-Captive Insurance and discover how it can be a game-changer for your business's risk management strategy. Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or just starting out, this episode offers invaluable insights into safeguarding your assets and maximizing rewards in today's dynamic business landscape. Tune in now to learn from the best in the industry and take your risk management strategy to the next level.

    SUMMARY OF EPISODE

    Josh opens up about his roots, having moved to Idaho in the 70s after years of dairy farming in Utah. Now, with two separate dairy facilities under his belt, Josh oversees the milking of around 2400 head of cattle. His commitment to innovation is evident in the integration of technology, with 18 robots streamlining operations in one facility. Each cow receives individualized care, from nutrition to milking schedules, optimizing both production and animal welfare.

    But Josh's farming portfolio doesn't stop at dairy. From Raft River Sod to Heglar Creek Electric, Josh and his partners have diversified their ventures. They've ventured into feedlot operations, custom calf raising, sod farming, and electrical contracting, showcasing their adaptability and business acumen.

    What sets Josh apart is his forward-thinking approach. Embracing change, he's transitioned management practices to accommodate technological advancements, hiring individuals skilled in working with computers and robots. This high-management style has propelled their operations forward, ensuring efficiency and sustainability.

    Moreover, the succession plan is in motion, with Josh and his brothers, along with Nathan Garner, poised to take over the reins from the previous generation. Josh's background in banking, with seven years in ag lending, brings a unique perspective to the table, further strengthening their business strategy.

    As we wrap up, we engage in a word association game, connecting everyday words to agriculture, revealing the diverse and interconnected nature of farming. From coffee to robots, disease to corn, Josh Webb's journey exemplifies the spirit of innovation and resilience that defines modern agriculture.

You can see the big differences in '23 and '24 - it is not pretty.

    - Any good crop insurance agent's first job is to find a level of coverage that can cover input costs.  That was easy in '21-'23.  In 2024, it will be impossible for a majority of farmers - especially if they are not willing to buy higher coverages. So we might be stuck just trying to come close to covering inputs. Farmer instinct's may be to back off of crop insurance in order to save a few bucks, but they really should be looking at more ways to keep losses to a minimum.

    - So we might need to buy higher coverages.  What are our options?  85%, SCO (86% county based), ECO (95% county based), and private (unsubsidized) add-on coverages.  Folks who bought ECO on Corn in 2023 should be pretty happy.  Prices fell enough that even counties with above average yields will be getting ECO payments.   SCO and ECO have both grown in popularity over their short history and I think we will continue to see them grow in the coming years.

    FMH also has a couple of add-on coverages that work in tandem with SCO or ECO that are pretty good values.  They are called SCO+ and ECO+.  I can really nerd out on these, but we may not want to get this deep.

    - SCO is an economical way to buy up, but you can only have it when you have elected the PLC program at FSA. Both ARC and PLC programs are more relevant now than they were in the past several years.  They are far from a crop insurance replacement, but they may come into play in 2024.

    - High level MPCI products are not always needed for good risk management, but they are always a good value because of the subsidy.  History proves farmers will get back more than they put in if they remain in the same programs long enough.  This is true for all subsidized crop insurance plans.

    - Private Products like Hail and Wind have not changed much and I don't know of any significant rate changes across the country.

    - The use of precision data to report acres, production, and complete claims continues to grow.  The typical farmer will reduce premium (FSA acres tend to be overstated) and grow APHs (Dividing the same production by fewer acres). Claims are also completed significantly faster. 

    - FMH itself has a unique story.  We were founded as a mutual insurance company by a group of farmers in the late 1800s in Early, IA.  They were frustrated with losing crops due to hail so they pooled together financial resources to be paid out to those who had the largest hail losses.  The majority of board members and president at that time were from the same family - the Rutledge family.   The Rutledge's still run the company today and have for the entire 130+ years.

    This last bit seems odd given crop insurance is unique to the American Farmer, but a high majority of crop insurance companies (I think 11 out of the current 14) are run by larger reinsurers that are foreign entities.  On the other hand FMH is a mutual owned by our private policyholders.  So for this reason - we call ourselves "America's Crop Insurance Company."

    I also thought of another good story from the playgrounds of Aurelia if you will allow me to indulge.

    My name is Andy Caygeon Junkin.  Originally from Bobcaygeon Ontario and most of my friends call me Bobcaygeon or Caygeon.  Married American farmgirl and live in Mt. Vernon Iowa.  

    Company name is www.Stubborn.Farm  and I just wrote my 7th book "Stubborn".  My nice:  I help stubborn farmers work better together

     

    • 1/  What is the one thing that is the difference of perspective between generations about succession planning.   
    • the analogy to a girl being in a long term relationship and yet no ring.  The need for commitment.  
    • 2/  What is the one thing that successors don't get, that causes their parents to be hesitant?  
    • (Three points on Page 1 of attached).  
    • What do you suggest that is different than what normal farm succession planners suggest?  
    • (9,000 hour rule -I'll take 4 minutes to explain it)
    • 4/  Over that two year period, what are you trying to do?  Why not just do succession planning in two meetings:  
    • (need for humility vs. pride.  The need to get rid of arrogance and create a culture whereby everyone is humble and listening to each other FIRST, prior to the conversation).  
    • Get a performance review starting with successor for 6 months, then 360 degrees for two years.  
    • 5/  Why take the extra time?  Why not just have someone come out and sell you a life insurance policy in an afternoon?  
    • 6/  Why did you write this book? 
    • No money in writing books for farmers.  Completely different perspective change how farming is done.  
    • 7/  When is the right time to start doing succession planning? 
    • 8/  What is the benefit nobody really thinks about before starting your process?  
    • 5/  How does a successor get the process started, do you pull an ultimatum or what?  

     

    • In your experience, what is the common misunderstanding or oversight by successors that causes hesitation from their parents, as outlined in the three points on Page 1 of the attached?
    • Initiating the process as a successor can be challenging. How do you recommend successors approach this, emphasizing humility and the need to create a culture of humble listening within the family?
    • Can you share a benefit of the succession planning process that people might overlook or not consider before starting it, especially in terms of improving family decision-making and its impact on farm profitability?
    • Conclusion:  
    • How do you learn something new the best?
    • They can access a free copy of the audiobook (listen to it like a podcast) at www.stubborn.farm 

    Avoiding succession planning in a family business can have significant adverse effects on mental health for all involved parties. Here are some potential impacts:

    1. Stress and Anxiety: The uncertainty about the future and the lack of a clear succession plan can lead to heightened stress and anxiety levels among family members. Concerns about the business's continuity and the financial well-being of each member can be overwhelming.
    2. Interpersonal Strain: Without a structured succession plan, family members may experience increased tension and conflicts. Ambiguity about roles, responsibilities, and future leadership can strain relationships, leading to resentment and misunderstandings.
    3. Feelings of Uncertainty: Individuals involved in the family business may feel a sense of insecurity when succession planning is neglected. Not knowing who will take over the business or how it will be managed can create a constant undercurrent of uncertainty.
    4. Impact on Leadership: For the current business leaders, the lack of a clear succession plan may hinder their ability to confidently step back or retire. The pressure to continue leading the business without a defined transition plan can lead to burnout and a decline in mental well-being.
    5. Family Dynamics: Succession planning involves open communication and collaboration. Without it, family members may experience a breakdown in communication, leading to isolation and strained family dynamics. This can affect both personal relationships and business interactions.
    6. Loss of Identity and Purpose: Family businesses often carry a sense of identity and purpose for the individuals involved. The absence of a succession plan may leave family members feeling adrift, questioning their roles and contributions to the business.
    7. Impact on Future Generations: In situations where succession planning is neglected, the next generation may experience frustration and a lack of motivation to engage in the family business. This can result in a loss of legacy and continuity.
    8. Financial Concerns: The financial implications of a poorly planned succession can contribute to mental health challenges. Concerns about the business's financial stability, inheritance issues, and equitable distribution of assets can create significant stress.
    9. Regret and Resentment: Individuals who postpone or avoid succession planning may later regret not taking timely action. This sense of regret can lead to feelings of self-blame and, in some cases, resentment towards other family members.
    10. Health Consequences: Prolonged stress and anxiety associated with the absence of succession planning can have physical health consequences. Chronic stress is linked to various health issues, including cardiovascular problems and weakened immune function.

    In conclusion, avoiding succession planning in a family business can have far-reaching implications on mental health, affecting individuals' emotional well-being, relationships, and overall quality of life. Addressing succession planning proactively can help mitigate these negative effects and contribute to a healthier family and business environment.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Here are the three common problems that are rarely openly said, but often felt by parents:

     

    1. The parents love their kids, but don’t feel that they can take over full management of the

    farm. At this stage Dad feels he can’t walk away from the business without it collapsing.

    He feels that once his kids get the reins, they’ll run the farm into the ground.

     

    2. Although he pretends to be humble, the patriarch is arrogant and thinks he’s smarter.

    He (or she) doesn’t recognize the contribution of his kids over the past 20+ years to the

    growth of the business and feels that any non-relative would have been a better

    employee than the successor’s performance. The patriarch (or matriarch) looks at the

    farm as his, not ours.

     

    3. Parents fear being pushed off the farm. The different generations have been fighting for

    control for years and don’t have a great working relationship. Dad fears that once he

    surrenders majority control of the farm’s shares, he won’t be welcome in the shop and

    die with his slippers instead of work boots on. Thus, he clinches power to his grave.

     

    In some cases, these beliefs are true, and many times these believes are false. Sometimes it is

    somewhere in between. These fears aren’t often stated but believe me…they are subtly there.

     

    The legendary tale of Alexander the Great and the Gordian Knot dates back to ancient times.

    According to the story, when Alexander encountered an intricate, seemingly impossible-to-untie

    knot in the city of Gordium, he decided to tackle it in an unconventional manner. Faced with the

    challenge, he drew his sword and sliced through the knot, rather than attempting to untangle it

    as others had failed to do. This bold and decisive action was interpreted as a sign of his destiny

    as a great conqueror and ruler. The "cutting of the Gordian Knot" has since become a symbol

    for solving complex problems or overcoming challenges through innovative and forceful means,

    emphasizing the importance of thinking outside the box and taking bold actions when

    necessary.

    My name is Andy Caygeon Junkin.  Originally from Bobcaygeon Ontario and most of my friends call me Bobcaygeon or Caygeon.  Married American farmgirl and live in Mt. Vernon Iowa.  

    Company name is www.Stubborn.Farm  and I just wrote my 7th book "Stubborn".  My nice:  I help stubborn farmers work better together

     

    • 1/  What is the one thing that is the difference of perspective between generations about succession planning.   
    • the analogy to a girl being in a long term relationship and yet no ring.  The need for commitment.  
    • 2/  What is the one thing that successors don't get, that causes their parents to be hesitant?  
    • (Three points on Page 1 of attached).  
    • What do you suggest that is different than what normal farm succession planners suggest?  
    • (9,000 hour rule -I'll take 4 minutes to explain it)
    • 4/  Over that two year period, what are you trying to do?  Why not just do succession planning in two meetings:  
    • (need for humility vs. pride.  The need to get rid of arrogance and create a culture whereby everyone is humble and listening to each other FIRST, prior to the conversation).  
    • Get a performance review starting with successor for 6 months, then 360 degrees for two years.  
    • 5/  Why take the extra time?  Why not just have someone come out and sell you a life insurance policy in an afternoon?  
    • 6/  Why did you write this book? 
    • No money in writing books for farmers.  Completely different perspective change how farming is done.  
    • 7/  When is the right time to start doing succession planning? 
    • 8/  What is the benefit nobody really thinks about before starting your process?  
    • 5/  How does a successor get the process started, do you pull an ultimatum or what?  

     

    • In your experience, what is the common misunderstanding or oversight by successors that causes hesitation from their parents, as outlined in the three points on Page 1 of the attached?
    • Initiating the process as a successor can be challenging. How do you recommend successors approach this, emphasizing humility and the need to create a culture of humble listening within the family?
    • Can you share a benefit of the succession planning process that people might overlook or not consider before starting it, especially in terms of improving family decision-making and its impact on farm profitability?
    • Conclusion:  
    • How do you learn something new the best?
    • They can access a free copy of the audiobook (listen to it like a podcast) at www.stubborn.farm

    How does solar work?

    Solar panels generate DC energy that is sent to an inverter that converts it to AC energy that you

    can use for your home or business. The system is integrated with your operation and utility

    making everything seamless. No need for any crazy upgrades to integrate solar. Any excess

    energy that you are not using at the time will be sent back to the grid and you will build credits.

    When the sun sets you will use the credits that you build up.

    ○ Let's clarify what we do. We are not involved in “solar farms utility grade” WE DO NOT

    TAKE UP HUNDREDS OF ACRES OF FARMLAND

    ○ We help offset the cost of electricity of operations by installing solar that is connected to

    the grid. Depending on the interconnection agreement the solar system can offset

    50-100%.

    ○ You will still get a power bill but reduced. Saving thousands of dollars every month.

     

    Why should farmers invest in solar?

    The biggest motivation to go solar is the money the farmers can save by reducing monthly power bills and

    freeing up capital that can be diverted elsewhere or added to the bottom line.

    Solar Incentives

    USDA REAP GRANT

    50% Total Project up to 1 Million dollars

    Investment Tax Credit

    30% Tax Credit - This goes against your tax liability. It can carry back 3 years or carry forward up to 22

    years.New law has passed that you can sell the tax credits as well.

    Depreciation- A solar energy system is classified as farm equipment.

    There are also bonus credits depending on location.

    How much does a solar energy system cost?

    There isn’t a one-size-fits-all option for solar. Every system is unique. There are many factors to consider.

    This would include whether it will be roof mounted or ground mounted. How much trenching,

    wiring,conduit, panel count,inverter count and specific engineering. The great news is that panel prices

    have dropped in price and will remain flat for a long time. When you add up all the incentives and they

    can be applied, the incentives pay for the entire project.

    What is an interconnection agreement?

    The agreement establishes all the terms and conditions associated with operating the customer's solar

    system in parallel with the utility's electric power system.

     

    Every electricity company is different.

    Especially in rural areas. A lot of these terms and conditions haven’t been updated since the 1980s.

     

    What size solar energy system will my farm need?

    Accuracy is absolutely imperative in order to set realistic expectations. We use the most recent 12

    months worth of utility data and analyze everything. This ranges from energy pattern, rate structure,

    demand charges, on and off peak. We use sophisticated technology to analyze ROI, IRR, payback

    period and 25 year savings. Also a financial model is presented along with any type of loan option if one

    is requested. We even take a look at the last 30 years of historical weather data in the exact location of

    the project. Attention to every detail is important for someone to have the best experience possible.

    Why go solar now? Won't the technology be cheaper down the road?

    There has never been a better time to pursue a solar project. The panel technology is so efficient that

    future technology will be incremental. The alignment of incentives and grants has made this investment a

    no brainer. There is no other piece of farm equipment that has a 30% tax credit and a grant that can

    cover up to 50% of the cost. The reality of the grant is we don't know the future of the grant in 2025. It is

    possible that it can be reduced or stay the same. The fact is it would be a gamble to wait.

    What is the process for going solar?

    Evaluation of Project

    Contract Execution

    Engineering Design

    Permitting & Interconnection

    Approval

    Equipment Procurement

    Installation & Commission

    Long-Term O&M and

    Monitoring

    Will solar panels power my building when the grid is down?

    These systems are interconnected with the grid. If the grid goes down the solar shuts down. This is a

    safety measure with the utility company. There cannot be any live power while the lineman are working to

    fix any grid issues. This is where a battery backup can be introduced. Battery technology is still very new

    and the prices will come down over the years. This should be the last resort considering all farms have

    generators.

    is requested. We even take a look at the last 30 years of historical weather data in the exact location of

    the project. Attention to every detail is important for someone to have the best experience possible.

    Why go solar now? Won't the technology be cheaper down the road?

    There has never been a better time to pursue a solar project. The panel technology is so efficient that

    future technology will be incremental. The alignment of incentives and grants has made this investment a

    no brainer. There is no other piece of farm equipment that has a 30% tax credit and a grant that can

    cover up to 50% of the cost. The reality of the grant is we don't know the future of the grant in 2025. It is

    possible that it can be reduced or stay the same. The fact is it would be a gamble to wait.

    What is the process for going solar?

    Evaluation of Project

    Contract Execution

    Engineering Design

    Permitting & Interconnection

    Approval

    Equipment Procurement

    Installation & Commission

    Long-Term O&M and

    Monitoring

    Will solar panels power my building when the grid is down?

    These systems are interconnected with the grid. If the grid goes down the solar shuts down. This is a

    safety measure with the utility company. There cannot be any live power while the lineman are working to

    fix any grid issues. This is where a battery backup can be introduced. Battery technology is still very new

    and the prices will come down over the years. This should be the last resort considering all farms have

    generators.

    The Rock-Denzel Washington, Rocky, Steve Harvey, 

    One day or  day one, it's time to get back to work. Who cares? You're tired.  Nobody cared. It's on you. Cut out all the fucking noise. Get back to the fucking mental lab. You got to go for it. I will never quit. I'm going to win. Seize this very minute. What you can do or even dream you can do and begin it. Now, if you know what you're worth, go out and get what you're worth.

    But you've got to be willing to take the hits. That's where winning is. There are no crappy jams in the. It's just you and your shadow. Say to yourself, it's not over until I win!

     

    Clip2

    What would happen if for the next 365 days,  you gave it your all? What if for the next 365 days, not 366, not 364. What if for the next 365 days, you didn't self sabotage? Who would you be  if for the next  365 days, you didn't quit? Who would you become? What type of person would be bred from that trial, that tribulation?

    I want to find out. And I think that you're doing a disservice to you, to your family, to your lineage, to your future generations, if you don't try to achieve your fullest potential. So, strive for greatness. Because, on the other side of this pain, this bullshit, this trial, this struggle, is greatness. And you can unlock it.

    But you gotta put in the fucking hours. You gotta put in the work. Yeah. And you gotta put in the 365 motherfucking days.

     

    Clip3

    Warren Buffet Quote

    As you set your New Year's resolutions this year, I want you to remember my favorite Warren Buffett quote. Take the top 25 things you want to get done this year, and write them all down. And then take number 5 through 25 on that list, and this year, avoid doing these at all costs. If you want to be exceptional this year, then you need to ruthlessly prioritize.

     

    Clip4

    Mel Robbins

    I believe that the reason why you want to be happier is because you miss being happier and you can only miss things that you know. I'll give you a simple exercise that you can do that I did with one of our daughters. She dealt with the depression and the grief by drinking herself into the ground and had a complete breakdown.

    I said, okay, well, here's what, let's start here. First of all, I want you to have this breakthrough where you realize you do know what you need to do. So take out a piece of paper and I want you to draw a line down the center. When was a time that you felt happier than you feel right now? Now on the left hand side of the paper, I want you to write down all the things that were happening in your life then.

    Like what did your day to day life look like? So you start to write. I left the house at 7 a. m. I was at school all day with my friends. I went to lacrosse practice. I exercised every day. And I'm like, great, now write down what your life looks like now. I sleep till noon. I drink every day. I don't leave the house.

    I don't exercise. Like, compare. Mm hmm. And change accordingly. Your whole life is about those little things that you do every day. And if you're not happy, get out a piece of paper, draw a line down the center, and write down the things that you were doing when you were a happier or healthier person. And change accordingly

     

    Clip5

    Steve Harvey

    What can I do to be happy? Number one, you have to own your own happiness. Your kids are not going to make you happy. Your spouse is not going to make you happy. A big house is not going to make you happy. Own your own happiness and be responsible for doing those things that bring joy into your own heart, independently of life and people and money and all of that.

    That it doesn't necessarily give you a happiness. You have to take responsibility of that peace and that joy that lives inside of your heart and not inside of your stuff. The second thing that I think people need to do is challenge their own story because people torment themselves by how they see their life.

    Challenge your own story. Change the way you talk to yourself about who you are and what happened to you and what you're going to do in your life. You, you wrote the script, changed the story. The third thing that, that, that I think is very important is to enjoy the journey. Not the destination.  A lot of us delay our happiness.

    When I get to this level, when I get my degree, when I get the kids, when I get married, I'm going to be happy. Enjoy the journey, enjoy the whole step, the whole process. Every day that you get up to strive for whatever it is you're after, you know, I'm a goal oriented guy, but you don't celebrate when you get to the finish line, celebrate all along the way.

    Celebrate all along the way

     

    Clip6

    Surfer

    If you want to be happier, you need to use something that I call the surfer's mentality. See, because there's something a surfer understands better about life than most other people. See, a surfer wants to get up on the wave, but they don't make the mistake of believing that once they're up, that they're going to stay there forever.

    When they get up there, they enjoy it and they ride it as far as they can. But at every moment, they realize that that wave is going to crash. and that they're going to fall. And maybe another wave is going to crash on top of them. But they don't let that get them down. Because a surfer understands that there's always more waves coming.

    And that is the experience of surfing.  Trying to get up on the wave, waiting to get up on the next wave, getting ready and being prepared for the waves. that crash over you. And if you can enjoy the entire experience of being alive, the moments that are challenging as much as the highs, and understand that they are two parts of the same experience, then my friend, you will have won the game

    Doing what you don’t want to do

    When that alarm clock goes off at four or five in the morning, your mind says, no, you just say, this is what we do  is what we do now, because to get to where you want to go, the amount of pain involved, the amount of mental pain of how many times you're going to have to do something that you don't want to do to get to where you want to go, there's gonna be more times you do stuff that you don't want to do, then you are going to want to do it. 

    And then once you do this over and over and over again, it becomes like breathing. I don't want to live this lifestyle, but to get to the other side of this, I have to.

    Stop procrastinating

    One of the absolute best ways to get motivation to stop procrastinating and actually start working towards your goals is this. Grab a pen and paper and write down what your ideal life looks like  five years from now and what you have to do in order to achieve that life. Then, right next to it, write down what your life will look like five years from now if you continue to live by the  Have.

    Put them next to each other and look at them. Look at them and ask yourself which one of these two lives do I truly want and fully realize that you have the option to choose between either one of them. The habits that you are going to live by from this point on will determine which one of these two lives you will end up getting.

    Clip1

    The Rock-Denzel Washington, Rocky, Steve Harvey, 

    One day or  day one, it's time to get back to work. Who cares? You're tired.  Nobody cared. It's on you. Cut out all the fucking noise. Get back to the fucking mental lab. You got to go for it. I will never quit. I'm going to win. Seize this very minute. What you can do or even dream you can do and begin it. Now, if you know what you're worth, go out and get what you're worth.

    But you've got to be willing to take the hits. That's where winning is. There are no crappy jams in the. It's just you and your shadow. Say to yourself, it's not over until I win!

     

    Clip2

    What would happen if for the next 365 days,  you gave it your all? What if for the next 365 days, not 366, not 364. What if for the next 365 days, you didn't self sabotage? Who would you be  if for the next  365 days, you didn't quit? Who would you become? What type of person would be bred from that trial, that tribulation?

    I want to find out. And I think that you're doing a disservice to you, to your family, to your lineage, to your future generations, if you don't try to achieve your fullest potential. So, strive for greatness. Because, on the other side of this pain, this bullshit, this trial, this struggle, is greatness. And you can unlock it.

    But you gotta put in the fucking hours. You gotta put in the work. Yeah. And you gotta put in the 365 motherfucking days.

     

    Clip3

    Warren Buffet Quote

    As you set your New Year's resolutions this year, I want you to remember my favorite Warren Buffett quote. Take the top 25 things you want to get done this year, and write them all down. And then take number 5 through 25 on that list, and this year, avoid doing these at all costs. If you want to be exceptional this year, then you need to ruthlessly prioritize.

     

    Clip4

    Mel Robbins

    I believe that the reason why you want to be happier is because you miss being happier and you can only miss things that you know. I'll give you a simple exercise that you can do that I did with one of our daughters. She dealt with the depression and the grief by drinking herself into the ground and had a complete breakdown.

    I said, okay, well, here's what, let's start here. First of all, I want you to have this breakthrough where you realize you do know what you need to do. So take out a piece of paper and I want you to draw a line down the center. When was a time that you felt happier than you feel right now? Now on the left hand side of the paper, I want you to write down all the things that were happening in your life then.

    Like what did your day to day life look like? So you start to write. I left the house at 7 a. m. I was at school all day with my friends. I went to lacrosse practice. I exercised every day. And I'm like, great, now write down what your life looks like now. I sleep till noon. I drink every day. I don't leave the house.

    I don't exercise. Like, compare. Mm hmm. And change accordingly. Your whole life is about those little things that you do every day. And if you're not happy, get out a piece of paper, draw a line down the center, and write down the things that you were doing when you were a happier or healthier person. And change accordingly

     

    Clip5

    Steve Harvey

    What can I do to be happy? Number one, you have to own your own happiness. Your kids are not going to make you happy. Your spouse is not going to make you happy. A big house is not going to make you happy. Own your own happiness and be responsible for doing those things that bring joy into your own heart, independently of life and people and money and all of that.

    That it doesn't necessarily give you a happiness. You have to take responsibility of that peace and that joy that lives inside of your heart and not inside of your stuff. The second thing that I think people need to do is challenge their own story because people torment themselves by how they see their life.

    Challenge your own story. Change the way you talk to yourself about who you are and what happened to you and what you're going to do in your life. You, you wrote the script, changed the story. The third thing that, that, that I think is very important is to enjoy the journey. Not the destination.  A lot of us delay our happiness.

    When I get to this level, when I get my degree, when I get the kids, when I get married, I'm going to be happy. Enjoy the journey, enjoy the whole step, the whole process. Every day that you get up to strive for whatever it is you're after, you know, I'm a goal oriented guy, but you don't celebrate when you get to the finish line, celebrate all along the way.

    Celebrate all along the way

     

    Clip6

    Surfer

    If you want to be happier, you need to use something that I call the surfer's mentality. See, because there's something a surfer understands better about life than most other people. See, a surfer wants to get up on the wave, but they don't make the mistake of believing that once they're up, that they're going to stay there forever.

    When they get up there, they enjoy it and they ride it as far as they can. But at every moment, they realize that that wave is going to crash. and that they're going to fall. And maybe another wave is going to crash on top of them. But they don't let that get them down. Because a surfer understands that there's always more waves coming.

    And that is the experience of surfing.  Trying to get up on the wave, waiting to get up on the next wave, getting ready and being prepared for the waves. that crash over you. And if you can enjoy the entire experience of being alive, the moments that are challenging as much as the highs, and understand that they are two parts of the same experience, then my friend, you will have won the game

Acknowledging the challenges of dealing with bankers and CPAs, the hosts draw parallels between modern tax planning and the historical grievances expressed in the Declaration of Independence.

    They are joined by Bill Glazner, an experienced CPA and ag industry leader from Adams and Brown, to shed light on the latest tax developments.

The conversation delves into various aspects of tax planning, including meeting frequency with top-tier clients, the role of fractional CFO services, and the impact of rising interest rates on farmers' financial decisions.

    Bill also provides insights into disaster aid related to extreme weather conditions and shares lesser-known nuggets of information about tax codes for farmers, such as the ability to write off existing soil fertility. The discussion expands to considerations for farmers approaching retirement, where Bill advises planning well in advance to maximize benefits and minimize complications.

    Overall, the episode offers practical advice and expert insights to help farmers navigate the complex landscape of tax planning, financial management, and strategic decision-making for long-term success.

As a 5th generation Nebraska farmer, his days are packed with farm responsibilities, yet he finds time to serve on the National Corn Growers Association and Nebraska Checkoff boards, act as chair of Field to Market, and chase around his seven kids. He’s also learning as much as he can about carbon and sustainability. ​“And when I’m really bored, I start learning about blockchain, because why not?” he laughs.

    Today, Brandon’s farm grows corn, popcorn, soybeans, and seed corn. Giltner, Nebraska, where Hunnicutt Farms is located, is a good area for corn. In fact, Nebraska is the Cornhusker State for a reason — the state ranks third in the nation for corn production overall, and first in popcorn. 

    Although the farm has been operating for over a century, the challenges Brandon and his family face today are very different from past decades. Not too long ago, cross-pollination and herbicide drift weren’t understood as serious issues, and many growers didn’t think about an insecticides’ ability to kill everything in a field — harmful or not — from an environmental perspective. Today, concerns about the environment and climate change play a much larger role in farm operations and Brandon has seen the focus shift to the broader environmental impact of these practices.“ These are nuances that growers weren’t thinking about even 25 years ago,” he says.

    Justin started working on building Clear Frontier in 2018 and officially launched the business in 2019 after spending 4.5 years as the Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at Canterra Capital.

    Jason Cope - Understanding that perseverance is a very important factor. Stay focused on things you know you can achieve and accomplish.You can ‘minimize the background noise’ and continue to focus on that goal.  Do it in a way that’s good for yourself, but also good for others.The growth you’ll experience through that type of perseverance, is life changing.        

     

    Royce Johns - Don’t trust everything they say.Consider what they say and listen, but make your own decisions.

     

    Tony Latcham – Don’t stress/worry so much.  Enjoy that time.  Life’s too short.  It passes by in a blink of an eye. 

     

    Joy VanWyngarden – Pick friends that are “where” you want to go.Hang out with like-minded people.

     

    Jackie Wilson Flying Diamond Beef - Life will have challenges – keep a positive attitude, think about the big picture and do things for others. 

     

    Jacquelyn Leffler - No matter how you grew up in life, no one can take away your education.  But I would now change the word “education” to “experience”.  If you can figure out that the sky’s the limit, you’re gonna go far.There’s no limit to success.  If you have that mentality, success is yours already. 

     

    Viren Dsouza - Keep taking chances.  Don’t worry about others’ perception of you.  Do your own thing and go for it.

     

    Nick Tsiolis, Farmer’s Keeper - Be a sponge!Absorb and learn and ask as many questions as you can.  You have energy, time, less commitments and can really throw yourself into learning your craft.  Totally immerse yourself in the learning.  WHO do I want to be, not WHAT do I want to be.  Look at people further along in life, and more successful and have more experiences than yourself. 

     

    Tom Stanton Red Star– Don’t be afraid to move.  Don’t be afraid to try something new.

     

    Elaine Froese - Be aware of what your strengths are.  Know what you’re good at and what you should be valued at.  Have family meetings because you can’t assume everyone wants and feels the same as you.

     

    Corey – Buy Land, however you can.

    Dave – Why are you in such a hurry to grow up?Travel NOW (when you’re young).(Huey & Annie also)

    Tanner – Go do “it”.You’ll never be fully ready, just go do it.

    Mike Newland

     

    • Mike Newland and I’m the director of agriculture business development for the Propane Education & Research Council, or PERC as you might know us.
    • PERC is an organization that is funded by the propane industry to provide training and education on the safe use of propane in a variety of markets, including agriculture. We also work with partners to develop new propane technologies and initiatives. One of those partnerships is with Sukup Manufacturing. 

    Explore Mike’s career and hobbies….

    • What is Propane?
    • How is Propane formed?
    • What is propane made of?
    • Why is it called LP?
    • What’s the difference between propane and natural gas?
    • How long has propane been around?
    • How long will it be around – will we run out?
    • Where does propane come into play for agriculture?
    • Reliability: Not only does your equipment have to be reliable, but the energy used to power it must be too. There are many reasons our customers choose propane to power their equipment but the reliability of the energy source itself is certainly a key reason too. 
    • Environmental Benefits: There is a lot of talk about clean energy and “electrifying everything” to curb emissions. While we at PERC are all about propane, we know that it will take a variety of energy sources working together to achieve sustainability and decarbonization goals.

     

    • Versatility: So many uses for propane, but Let’s talk about some of those lesser-known applications or the other ways propane can be used.
    • Agriculture(organic), Transportation, Home Use, others?
    • Cost savings: (True Farm4Profit Value) Producers face very high costs for all farm inputs including energy. 
    • How has LP varied in cost compared to alternative energy sources?
    • What are ways listeners can save by using propane?
    • The Grain Drying Calculator allows users to simply input their average expected yield to determine the propane gallons needed to dry their crops by a specific moisture percentage. By planning and filling tanks before the hustle of harvest and winter seasons, you can make sure you have the energy you need—when you need it. And even save more in the process with those early tank fill programs
    • Address any potential concerns or misconceptions related to propane use in farming
    • Are there safety measures and regulations associated with using propane in agricultural settings?
    • Do you have any insights into how farmers and agribusinesses can make informed decisions about integrating propane into their operations.
    • Talk about the potential for innovation and advancements in propane-related technologies for agriculture.
    • Discuss ongoing research, development, and partnerships that PERC is involved in to further promote sustainable propane use. 
    • What about for PERC—what’s big in 2024? 
    • Soil Steaming, Power Generation, Irrigation 
    • What is the role of education and outreach in raising awareness about the benefits of propane in agriculture?
    • What did we miss – anything extra to cover?
    • Summary

    • Gregg Allard, Truterra: Can provide overview of Truterra’s work with downstream customers
    • Laura Kowalski, Global Sustainability Manager, Primient: Can provide sustainability specifics across enterprise and on work with Truterra

    Laura’s Bio:

    Laura leads sustainability at Primient. She has over 10 years of experience working in corporate sustainability. Laura has a Master’s degree in sustainable management from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Laura lives in Naperville, Illinois with her husband and 2 young boys. 

    Gregg Allard
    Gregg Allard leads the Commercial and Strategic Partnerships team at Truterra where he is responsible for building and implementing regenerative agriculture programs with food, fuel, feed and fiber companies.  These projects include both supply chain insetting and carbon offsetting projects to support the Truterra network of growers across the US. 

    About Primient

    Primient is a leading producer of food and industrial ingredients made from plant-based, renewable sources. We deliver value through deep technical, commercial, and operational excellence that is backed by our long-standing corn wet milling heritage. Wherever we are in the process, from field to customer, our priorities are focused on ensuring we produce the safest, highest quality products through practices that uphold both our responsibility and commitments to our people and our planet.


    About Truterra
    Truterra is a leading agricultural sustainability business that offers consultation, tools and solutions for ag, food and CPG industries. Truterra works to advance and connect sustainability efforts throughout the food system at scale – from farmers to ag retailers to value chain collaborators including food and fiber companies. Truterra positions farmers for success by providing them tools and resources to establish a stewardship baseline, track progress on every field they farm, access conservation resources, and prepare for ecosystem services market opportunities.  Truterra was launched in 2016 by Land O'Lakes, Inc.

     

     

     

     

    Primient + Truterra Working Together

    The goal:

    • advance sustainable agricultural practices on acres equivalent to the global annual corn procurement volume (1.2 million acres). 
    • Soil Carbon, Wind Erosion, and Soil Conservation metrics; as well as, Nitrogen Use Efficiency, Conservation Practices 
    • How are these items monitored?
    • Deployed and Truterra insights score through the Truterra sustainability tool. Blog post on Primient/Truterra work for reference: https://primient.com/news/article/2023/02/leading-the-way-in-sustainable-agriculture

     

    Sustainable Supply Chain Details

    • carbon markets/credits, which companies can purchase to offset their emissions, 
    • Then there’s what we call Sustainable Supply Chain,
    • which refers to the act of monitoring and evaluating a company’s supply shed to understand the sustainability qualities for something like corn, in Primient’s case. 
    • Truterra helps them track and monitor to eventually be able to report for scope 3 purposes. 
    • It may oftentimes be the same practices farmers are doing (reducing tillage, cover crops etc) that result in carbon credits, but a company is able to then take credit for this quality within their supply chain.
    • Truterra’s role is to bridge the gap between farmers and companies with sustainability goals who choose agriculture to be a part of their toolkit of solutions.

    Questions

    • What is a sustainable supply shed?
    • Why are companies interested in it? 
    • Why Primient is choosing to invest so heavily in this space? 
    • What crops or products are involved?
    • How did Primient get started in this space?
    • How does Truterra work as an integral part of the solution? 
    • How is the sustainability of the supply shed measured?
    • Is this different than how carbon credits are measured?
    • If I’m a farmer, what attributes are you specifically looking for in the corn that you procure? 
    • How do you determine the bushel of corn that is different from regular?
    • We saw regenerative ag in action today, and it's clear that it's both an art and a science and no one size fits all.
    • Are you looking to tell the farmer how to raise the crop?
    • can you speak to the importance of a partner that understands farmers' different growing environments?
    • We are Farm4Profit – and it’s our understanding that Truterra thinks profitability and sustainability can go hand in hand – how do you see this coming to life for a farmer like (Corey)? 
    • When does the juice become worth the squeeze?
    • What else is important to cover today?
    • Summary
    • Challenge
    • What would you go back and tell yourself at age 18?

    Primient + Truterra Working Together

    The goal:

    • advance sustainable agricultural practices on acres equivalent to the global annual corn procurement volume (1.2 million acres). 
    • Soil Carbon, Wind Erosion, and Soil Conservation metrics; as well as, Nitrogen Use Efficiency, Conservation Practices 
    • How are these items monitored?
    • Deployed and Truterra insights score through the Truterra sustainability tool. Blog post on Primient/Truterra work for reference: https://primient.com/news/article/2023/02/leading-the-way-in-sustainable-agriculture

     

    Sustainable Supply Chain Details

    • carbon markets/credits, which companies can purchase to offset their emissions, 
    • Then there’s what we call Sustainable Supply Chain,
    • which refers to the act of monitoring and evaluating a company’s supply shed to understand the sustainability qualities for something like corn, in Primient’s case. 
    • Truterra helps them track and monitor to eventually be able to report for scope 3 purposes. 
    • It may oftentimes be the same practices farmers are doing (reducing tillage, cover crops etc) that result in carbon credits, but a company is able to then take credit for this quality within their supply chain.
    • Truterra’s role is to bridge the gap between farmers and companies with sustainability goals who choose agriculture to be a part of their toolkit of solutions.

    Questions

    • What is a sustainable supply shed?
    • Why are companies interested in it? 
    • Why Primient is choosing to invest so heavily in this space? 
    • What crops or products are involved?
    • How did Primient get started in this space?
    • How does Truterra work as an integral part of the solution? 
    • How is the sustainability of the supply shed measured?
    • Is this different than how carbon credits are measured?
    • If I’m a farmer, what attributes are you specifically looking for in the corn that you procure? 
    • How do you determine the bushel of corn that is different from regular?
    • We saw regenerative ag in action today, and it's clear that it's both an art and a science and no one size fits all.
    • Are you looking to tell the farmer how to raise the crop?
    • can you speak to the importance of a partner that understands farmers' different growing environments?
    • We are Farm4Profit – and it’s our understanding that Truterra thinks profitability and sustainability can go hand in hand – how do you see this coming to life for a farmer like (Corey)? 
    • When does the juice become worth the squeeze?
    • What else is important to cover today?
    • Summary
    • Challenge
    • What would you go back and tell yourself at age 18?

    ·         The DeLong Company launched the new brand, Grown Climate Smart, which is dedicated to incentivizing and supporting the development of sustainable practices on farms. This brand is developed and managed by The DeLong Company Which was awarded a $40 million Climate-Smart Commodities USDA grant to develop and market a new brand that aims to track greenhouse gas reductions and  resulting from growers implementing climate-smart practices.

    o   The DeLong Company is a 6th generation family owned business with 38 grain, seed, agronomy and export logistics locations around the country. The DeLong Company is the largest U.S. exporter of containerized agricultural products.

    ·         We have over 200,000 sustainably farmed acres producing grain enrolled in the program for 2023.

    o   - corn, soybeans, wheat, rye, sorghum, alfalfa

    ·         The four practices we are encouraging farmers to do are

    o   Cover Crops

    o   Reduced or No Till

    o   Nutrient Management Plans

    o   Windbreak Establishments or Renovations

     

    Other Talking points about sustainable farming

    ·         A key issue that the program seeks to address is the lack of a standardized definition of a Climate Smart Commodity. Grown Climate Smart hopes to not only establish a definition but provide clear examples and practices that meet climate-smart requirements.

    o   A CSC will be defined as a commodity produced on an acre of ground that employs a minimum of one high benefit NRCS practice, follows the general guidelines of the program, and is marketed and labeled as a CSC.

    o   The adoption of the practice should have a measurable impact on carbon reduction, and the commodity should be traceable in the supply chain. The implementation of this program will better define what a CSC is by identifying and communicating specific practices to be enrolled in a climate smart program, educating producers on CSC implementation practices, communicating and educating producers on how these CSC practices reduce GHG emissions and improve carbon sequestration, and marketing and labeling products as CSCs. Establishing a clear definition will enable CSCs to be effectively marketed to consumers.

    ·         Importance of Soil Health: The significance of soil health in sustainable and regenerative farming practices. Healthy soil supports plant growth, sequesters carbon, improves water retention, and promotes biodiversity.

    ·         Sustainable farming integrates three things: environmental health, economic profitability, and social and economic equity.

    ·         Sustainable practices are becoming more the norm, and less niche but we still have considerable work to do.

    o   I have some statistics I can provide from the USDA regarding the 4 practice trends over time.

    2) When it’s all said and done, leave something in better shape than when you found/got it…while also getting what you needed from it.  Successful farmers don’t just make a living off the land, they leave it for the next generation to get value from it as well.

    1/30/23 – Mon – F4P – E112 (E251) The Business of Fatherhood with Ben Killoy

    When is a veteran forgotten? When does your name no longer mean anything? A 100 years from now will your family say “Gpa used to always say/do that, and it’s still true today.”  Is there something you left behind that’s not just wealth?  Success is how well my kids know me. They know enough that what I did lives with them and through them in a way that keeps getting passed on.  How I lived, treated people, wisdom I left behind, and who you are are ‘anchor’ memories for your kids.

    1/9/23 – Mon – F4P – E109 (E245) - Top Advice for Farmers with Mike Burkhart "Father of FarmTok"

                Small wins to all add up to success.  Successful is being able to continue the family farm.

    work hard so that you can make the family more money than you cost; living broke until you can get your own farm; the ultimate goal is to get your own piece of the family farm.

     

    Make the most of the gifts God’s given you.Make your blessings/opportunities have an impact

     

    2/23/23 – Thur – F4F – E209 (E258) FarmerDan97

                The Lord called us to be stewards of the land, and if we take care of it, He’ll take care of us.  Live life to His glory.

    Summary:

    Have faith and share the great news, passing along a legacy for the next generations to come, leaving things better than you found them, being of high character and being able to sleep at night, being a useful member of a team, being a person people want to be around, build a community around you and ultimately finding and doing what you love.

     Some real shit that you all need to understand. If you want to be the best in whatever you do, you gotta start acting differently than everybody else. If you want the nicest car, the nicest lifestyle, and the nicest partner, the best of everything comes with a price. It comes from grinding through those late nights. It comes from grinding through those early mornings and those exhausting days where your body is telling you to give up. Every day, you are presented with two paths. One path leads to your true potential, it leads to your dreams and goals. And the other path is you staying. The same. Most of you are stuck on the path of staying the same. Stop blaming everyone else and take responsibility.

    One of my favorite parts of the meetings and conferences I attend is the motivational speakers with great stories.  In celebration of 4 years of this podcast we wanted to provide you with an episode to reflect on if you ever need a little extra motivation.  We are taking 25-30 clips from tiktok from some of the leading motivational speakers to share with you today.  Listen in, take something to work on, and come back again to grab some more.  Ready to go?!?!

    001-Opening Clip

     If you Stay in bed. If you stay on the couch, if you stay in your comfort zone. If you only do what is easy, your life will be hard. But if you do, what is hard, if you get up, if you grind, if you are relentless, if you work as hard as possible when other people are slacking off, your life will be easy.

    01-Ed Mylett – Small margin of difference

     The difference between winning and losing in life and everything, and being a great mother and not a great father, and not a great leader, and not wealthy, and not a big business and not making a difference and not is so small, it's almost too scary to talk about. And that small thing. All my life I've been trying to figure out what's the thing, what's the separator? They read one book a month. They read one more. They do 30 minutes on the treadmill. No, they do 30 plus one more. They do 10 reps on the bench. Press no, 10 reps, one more. When you set that standard your entire life, Life begins to shift and change.

    01-Setting bigger goals than you imagine helps you hit your true desires/goals

     Raise your standards. One of the most damaging things that any human can do is set low standards and then achieve those standards. I would rather you set your sights, not on the moon, but on the stars, because in the process of shooting for the stars, you will hit the moon guaranteed. But in the process of shooting for the moon, you might completely miss it and hit nothing.

    01-Ed Mylett - The road to success will feel painful, but will be worth it in the end

     Let me tell you what comes on the road to success. If recently, at any point in the last 12 months, you've experienced doubt. If you have a lot of fear or anxiety on the road you're on, or if you've experienced those emotions recently about what you're doing, you feeling like an imposter, a give imposter syndrome, like nobody knows. I don't really know what I'm doing. You're on the road that I think you should be on the right road. The road less traveled.

    02-Be more than average

     Just want you to remember that average is the enemy. Success is your responsibility, and change can take place in an instant if you are willing to flip the switch.

    03-Aggressively working towards a goal you know will take time

     Aggressive patience is a concept where, where you, you work every single day. As hard as you can towards your goal, but you also understand at the same time that it's going to take time. All right? And this is a concept that people get very confused about because you hear people, other people out there say, patience. You gotta be patient, you gotta be patient. And people misinterpret that and think that like that means that they can just chill. Yeah, and their goals will eventually happen, and that's just not the way it works. It's aggressive patients. It's executing day in, it's executing day out. It's executing for weeks, months, years.

     

     

    03-Something that will help you be patient is developing a love for the journey

     The man who loves walking will walk further than the man who loves the destination. And when you love the journey, the goals just happen. You hit milestones as a side effect, cuz it doesn't matter at that point. I don't care if I can lift this much weight or run this fast. I mean that's cool, but I don't love it as much as I love the journey, I love the journey.  What does the journey consist of? Sucking at something, failing, getting better, learning. Start it over, do it again. When you fall in love with the journey, everything else takes care of itself.

    04-Ed Mylett – watch out for those who want to squash your dreams

     Dream big. And protect those dreams. Not everybody wants to see you win. And the reality is, the bigger your dream, the more they want to shit on it. They're gonna be so intimidated because you're gonna have to change and become your higher self. You're gonna have to become different. You're gonna have to have more commitment.  You're gonna have to dedicate more time, and that means more time away from them. And that's why most people are like the crabs in a bucket. They want to pull you down. And they wanna hold you down because they don't want to see you thrive because you are now going to have to disassociate from them. You better set big dreams. You better set big goals, and you better work like a fucking monster to chase those big dreams down and achieve them. Otherwise, you'll have a lifetime of regret.

    04-What are the costs of not changing?

     You should be afraid of taking risks and pursuing something meaningful, but you should be more afraid of staying where you are. If it's making you miserable, the clock is ticking, and if you're miserable now and you change nothing in five years, you'll be much more miserable and you'll be a lot older.

    07-You control your story and how it gets told after you’ve made it.

     Your hardships, your challenges, your situation will either be the reason you don't make it, or it will be the story you tell when you do make it, and you get to make that choice.

    08-MidShow Hype video about getting back to work – wake them back up

     You've made no progress, none. Get back to fucking work. It's time to get back to work. I don't care what you're gonna do, but go out there and make something of yourself for God's sake. Don't make excuses. Don't blame any other person or any other thing. So with your fucking excuse life, one big fucking head game you're losing.

    08.1-Matthew McConahey – put in full effort

     Don't half ass it, don't half ass it. Boy, that never goes outta style, does it? I mean, think about it. If you're gonna do something, you've chosen to do something, whatever, it's easy, hard. If you give it your all and you don't half ass it, win, lose, draw. Get what you want, don't get what you want, whatever the outcome is. If you don't half ass it, at least you're not gonna have to wonder, ooh, would the outcome been different? What if I did give it my all?

    09-Ed Mylett – Make a difference for your name

     You could be the one in your family to change the trajectory of your bloodline. I'm the one in my family. I'm the one. And it is important for you to take that pen back that people have written in your, your book of life, and realize as many other pages that are blank, that you could start rewriting how the story goes. But you have to give yourself permission first, permission to heal, permission to realize that you're not broken, that you are lovable, you are worthy, that you are capable, you have everything you need. Do. There's not a goddamn thing that someone else has that you don't have.

     

     

     

     

    09-Matt Damon – acceptance and motivation

     One of the most profound things that anybody's ever said to me when he was 20 years old, we started writing goodwill hunting and he said, Hey, judge me for how good my good ideas are, not how bad my bad ideas are. Mm-hmm. And that to me is the most important thing when you embark on a collaborative process with somebody. It's like you gotta get the, the window open to throw every idea in there and, and not be afraid to have ideas. Cuz we all have ideas and sometimes you need to idea and then you iterate on that and they iterate on that and then it. Builds into a good idea, but you have to feel free to express it. That's right. Safe. Exactly. Mm-hmm. 

    10-Three traits of successful people

    Surperiority complex, feeling they deserve better and massive insecurity, 3rd they had control over their impulses

    11-You can ask for help, others can support you

     You gotta change that shit, man. Yeah, but you don't understand my life, David. Yeah, I do. I get that mentality. I once had that mentality that no one understands what the fuck I'm going through. And if you keep that mentality, you're gonna stay in the same exact spot that you're in. You're never alone. Everybody's going through shit. So when people get this mentality of like, you understand me, you can throw a fucking rock to someone that can understand you if they're willing to break themselves down and stop hiding. A lot of people understand you. That's why I tell people a lot of people are going through shit. They just hide. Hide better than you did.

    13-You have to be honest with yourself

     If you wanna be the best of the best, if you wanna survive, no matter what happens, if you wanna thrive, no matter what happens, you can't second guess yourself. I can't gamble on you if you're not willing to gamble on yourself. I can't trust you unless you trust yourself. You're asking me to be honest with you, when's the last time you were honest with yourself? There's always a reason. If your business is not thriving, there's a reason. If your relationship is not thriving, there's a reason. And you know what the crazy thing is? Everybody in this room knows exactly what that reason is, but you won't have that honest conversation. You win yourself, but you tell everybody else. Be honest with me. Everybody wants somebody to be honest with 'em until it's time to be honest.

    16-Mel Robbins – Retraining your brain – fix your filter 

    When you tell your mind what's important to you, there is extraordinary science that proves that your mind has a live and ever-changing filter. A, a live network that changes how it views the world, what it lets in, what it blocks out. And if you program your mind correctly, and if you're clear about what you wanna create, your mind will help you get what you want.

    18-We have to get out of the victim mentality

     The easiest thing in the world to do is to complain, blame and quit and settle. That's the easiest thing in the world to do, but it takes real work to deconstruct and to reconstruct the thought process and the mindset of an individual when they're trying to change something. That's why I always say to people, what's more important, what we acquire or who we become?

    19-Joe Rogan – Can’t compare yourself to others or to time and age

     Is a really important one cuz people have this idea that somehow I'm 30 years old, I shouldn't be doing this anymore. I'm 50 years old. I should have learned by now. That's all bullshit. Throw that away, toss that aside. You like these ideas of numbers that people have in their head that by a certain age you should br stop. You are alive. And if you are alive, and if you are thinking all those numbers that you keep attaching, will, you know when Einstein was 30 heater? Shut the fuck up. Stop doing that, that that is a waste of your time. And stop saying to yourself, I should be better by now. I'm such a total non helping thought. What you need to think of is life. You're living, you're alive right now. And if you've made a mistake and you're still continuing to learn and grow, that's, that's all. Just data. 

     

     

    20-Stop Comparing

    You can’t compare yourself to someone until you have all the information.  You don’t know what they are going through or where they have been.

    22-Gary Vee – surround yourself with good people

     If you start hanging out with people that want you to win, you will have more self-confidence. If someone's telling you you're awesome, instead of you suck, you're a different person.

    23-Mel Robbins – Making decisions by how we feel is a dangerous action

     95% of our decisions are made by how you feel in the moment, and that is the problem. Do I feel like getting up? No. You don't? No. Do you feel like making that cold call? No. You don't. Do you feel like doing that third set of reps? No, you don't. We make decisions based on our feelings, and that is robbing you of joy and opportunity. If you accept the fact that you may never feel ready and you may never feel motivated, and you may never feel. Confident. You may never feel courageous, and that's okay, but you can still push yourself forward. As you start to see yourself becoming the person that takes action, guess what happens? You build the skill of confidence and courage. 

    26- Average people talk solutions

    Don’t dwell on the problem, switch your thinking to be focused on the solutions to be successful

    27-Be brave in your ability to speak

     I have something to say that you're not saying. If, if you do, then it's your fault. This is your fault, it's your problem. And you might say, well, I'm too afraid to talk. It's like, fair enough. How afraid are you not to talk? You know, people say to me frequently, they compliment me on my bravery, and I think you don't understand. I'm not brave. I don't, I don't like conflict. I'm way more afraid of losing control of my tongue than I am of the consequences of saying what I have to say. Because I know what happens when we allow other people to control our tongues. It's not good.

    28- Theo Von – Proud of you statement

     I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. Cause I know how hard it is to take care of ourselves. That's why I think I was so hard on myself a lot of times. I think because then at least it, it puts it on me, which was the only thing that I felt I could try and rely on anyway.

    29- Joe Rogan – Tell someone else what they mean to you – make their day

     Be the person who steps forward, starts it off, makes an action, tell someone how much you care and appreciate them. You can do that. We can all do that, and we've all had it done to us and it feels amazing when someone comes up to you outta nowhere and goes, Hey man, I just wanna tell you, I really appreciate you. I know, I know. Yeah. Sometimes we don't talk to each other that much, but when I do, I really enjoy it.

    30- How do we work to change the world?

     I would challenge you guys to realize that the way that we're going to fix the world is not because of a president. It's not because of a media company. It's not because of your social media account. It's gonna be because of you deciding to live a higher standard in all areas of your life. If we want a better world, we have to create a better world for ourselves.  Other people will follow suit, and that's how the world changes. So when you look around the world and you say, my life doesn't matter, I don't matter, actually realize that it's the opposite. Your actions matter the most because your actions are gonna dictate the reality for another human being, and that human being is going to inspire another human being, and that ripple effect cannot be quantified. And we all have a responsibility to contribute to it. So that's my challenge. Be fucking better.

    01-Setting bigger goals than you imagine helps you hit your true desires/goals

     Raise your standards. One of the most damaging things that any human can do is set low standards and then achieve those standards. I would rather you set your sights, not on the moon, but on the stars, because in the process of shooting for the stars, you will hit the moon guaranteed. But in the process of shooting for the moon, you might completely miss it and hit nothing.

    01-Ed Mylett - The road to success will feel painful, but will be worth it in the end

     Let me tell you what comes on the road to success. If recently, at any point in the last 12 months, you've experienced doubt. If you have a lot of fear or anxiety on the road you're on, or if you've experienced those emotions recently about what you're doing, you feeling like an imposter, a give imposter syndrome, like nobody knows. I don't really know what I'm doing. You're on the road that I think you should be on the right road. The road less traveled.

    02-Be more than average

     Just want you to remember that average is the enemy. Success is your responsibility, and change can take place in an instant if you are willing to flip the switch.

    03-Aggressively working towards a goal you know will take time

     Aggressive patience is a concept where, where you, you work every single day. As hard as you can towards your goal, but you also understand at the same time that it's going to take time. All right? And this is a concept that people get very confused about because you hear people, other people out there say, patience. You gotta be patient, you gotta be patient. And people misinterpret that and think that like that means that they can just chill. Yeah, and their goals will eventually happen, and that's just not the way it works. It's aggressive patients. It's executing day in, it's executing day out. It's executing for weeks, months, years.

     

     

    03-Something that will help you be patient is developing a love for the journey

     The man who loves walking will walk further than the man who loves the destination. And when you love the journey, the goals just happen. You hit milestones as a side effect, cuz it doesn't matter at that point. I don't care if I can lift this much weight or run this fast. I mean that's cool, but I don't love it as much as I love the journey, I love the journey.  What does the journey consist of? Sucking at something, failing, getting better, learning. Start it over, do it again. When you fall in love with the journey, everything else takes care of itself.

    04-Ed Mylett – watch out for those who want to squash your dreams

     Dream big. And protect those dreams. Not everybody wants to see you win. And the reality is, the bigger your dream, the more they want to shit on it. They're gonna be so intimidated because you're gonna have to change and become your higher self. You're gonna have to become different. You're gonna have to have more commitment.  You're gonna have to dedicate more time, and that means more time away from them. And that's why most people are like the crabs in a bucket. They want to pull you down. And they wanna hold you down because they don't want to see you thrive because you are now going to have to disassociate from them. You better set big dreams. You better set big goals, and you better work like a fucking monster to chase those big dreams down and achieve them. Otherwise, you'll have a lifetime of regret.

    04-What are the costs of not changing?

     You should be afraid of taking risks and pursuing something meaningful, but you should be more afraid of staying where you are. If it's making you miserable, the clock is ticking, and if you're miserable now and you change nothing in five years, you'll be much more miserable and you'll be a lot older.

    07-You control your story and how it gets told after you’ve made it.

     Your hardships, your challenges, your situation will either be the reason you don't make it, or it will be the story you tell when you do make it, and you get to make that choice.

    08-MidShow Hype video about getting back to work – wake them back up

     You've made no progress, none. Get back to fucking work. It's time to get back to work. I don't care what you're gonna do, but go out there and make something of yourself for God's sake. Don't make excuses. Don't blame any other person or any other thing. So with your fucking excuse life, one big fucking head game you're losing.

    08.1-Matthew McConahey – put in full effort

     Don't half ass it, don't half ass it. Boy, that never goes outta style, does it? I mean, think about it. If you're gonna do something, you've chosen to do something, whatever, it's easy, hard. If you give it your all and you don't half ass it, win, lose, draw. Get what you want, don't get what you want, whatever the outcome is. If you don't half ass it, at least you're not gonna have to wonder, ooh, would the outcome been different? What if I did give it my all?

    09-Ed Mylett – Make a difference for your name

     You could be the one in your family to change the trajectory of your bloodline. I'm the one in my family. I'm the one. And it is important for you to take that pen back that people have written in your, your book of life, and realize as many other pages that are blank, that you could start rewriting how the story goes. But you have to give yourself permission first, permission to heal, permission to realize that you're not broken, that you are lovable, you are worthy, that you are capable, you have everything you need. Do. There's not a goddamn thing that someone else has that you don't have.

     

     

     

     

    09-Matt Damon – acceptance and motivation

     One of the most profound things that anybody's ever said to me when he was 20 years old, we started writing goodwill hunting and he said, Hey, judge me for how good my good ideas are, not how bad my bad ideas are. Mm-hmm. And that to me is the most important thing when you embark on a collaborative process with somebody. It's like you gotta get the, the window open to throw every idea in there and, and not be afraid to have ideas. Cuz we all have ideas and sometimes you need to idea and then you iterate on that and they iterate on that and then it. Builds into a good idea, but you have to feel free to express it. That's right. Safe. Exactly. Mm-hmm. 

    10-Three traits of successful people

    Surperiority complex, feeling they deserve better and massive insecurity, 3rd they had control over their impulses

    11-You can ask for help, others can support you

     You gotta change that shit, man. Yeah, but you don't understand my life, David. Yeah, I do. I get that mentality. I once had that mentality that no one understands what the fuck I'm going through. And if you keep that mentality, you're gonna stay in the same exact spot that you're in. You're never alone. Everybody's going through shit. So when people get this mentality of like, you understand me, you can throw a fucking rock to someone that can understand you if they're willing to break themselves down and stop hiding. A lot of people understand you. That's why I tell people a lot of people are going through shit. They just hide. Hide better than you did.

    13-You have to be honest with yourself

     If you wanna be the best of the best, if you wanna survive, no matter what happens, if you wanna thrive, no matter what happens, you can't second guess yourself. I can't gamble on you if you're not willing to gamble on yourself. I can't trust you unless you trust yourself. You're asking me to be honest with you, when's the last time you were honest with yourself? There's always a reason. If your business is not thriving, there's a reason. If your relationship is not thriving, there's a reason. And you know what the crazy thing is? Everybody in this room knows exactly what that reason is, but you won't have that honest conversation. You win yourself, but you tell everybody else. Be honest with me. Everybody wants somebody to be honest with 'em until it's time to be honest.

    16-Mel Robbins – Retraining your brain – fix your filter 

    When you tell your mind what's important to you, there is extraordinary science that proves that your mind has a live and ever-changing filter. A, a live network that changes how it views the world, what it lets in, what it blocks out. And if you program your mind correctly, and if you're clear about what you wanna create, your mind will help you get what you want.

    18-We have to get out of the victim mentality

     The easiest thing in the world to do is to complain, blame and quit and settle. That's the easiest thing in the world to do, but it takes real work to deconstruct and to reconstruct the thought process and the mindset of an individual when they're trying to change something. That's why I always say to people, what's more important, what we acquire or who we become?

    19-Joe Rogan – Can’t compare yourself to others or to time and age

     Is a really important one cuz people have this idea that somehow I'm 30 years old, I shouldn't be doing this anymore. I'm 50 years old. I should have learned by now. That's all bullshit. Throw that away, toss that aside. You like these ideas of numbers that people have in their head that by a certain age you should br stop. You are alive. And if you are alive, and if you are thinking all those numbers that you keep attaching, will, you know when Einstein was 30 heater? Shut the fuck up. Stop doing that, that that is a waste of your time. And stop saying to yourself, I should be better by now. I'm such a total non helping thought. What you need to think of is life. You're living, you're alive right now. And if you've made a mistake and you're still continuing to learn and grow, that's, that's all. Just data. 

     

     

    20-Stop Comparing

    You can’t compare yourself to someone until you have all the information.  You don’t know what they are going through or where they have been.

    22-Gary Vee – surround yourself with good people

     If you start hanging out with people that want you to win, you will have more self-confidence. If someone's telling you you're awesome, instead of you suck, you're a different person.

    23-Mel Robbins – Making decisions by how we feel is a dangerous action

     95% of our decisions are made by how you feel in the moment, and that is the problem. Do I feel like getting up? No. You don't? No. Do you feel like making that cold call? No. You don't. Do you feel like doing that third set of reps? No, you don't. We make decisions based on our feelings, and that is robbing you of joy and opportunity. If you accept the fact that you may never feel ready and you may never feel motivated, and you may never feel. Confident. You may never feel courageous, and that's okay, but you can still push yourself forward. As you start to see yourself becoming the person that takes action, guess what happens? You build the skill of confidence and courage. 

    26- Average people talk solutions

    Don’t dwell on the problem, switch your thinking to be focused on the solutions to be successful

    27-Be brave in your ability to speak

     I have something to say that you're not saying. If, if you do, then it's your fault. This is your fault, it's your problem. And you might say, well, I'm too afraid to talk. It's like, fair enough. How afraid are you not to talk? You know, people say to me frequently, they compliment me on my bravery, and I think you don't understand. I'm not brave. I don't, I don't like conflict. I'm way more afraid of losing control of my tongue than I am of the consequences of saying what I have to say. Because I know what happens when we allow other people to control our tongues. It's not good.

    28- Theo Von – Proud of you statement

     I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. Cause I know how hard it is to take care of ourselves. That's why I think I was so hard on myself a lot of times. I think because then at least it, it puts it on me, which was the only thing that I felt I could try and rely on anyway.

    29- Joe Rogan – Tell someone else what they mean to you – make their day

     Be the person who steps forward, starts it off, makes an action, tell someone how much you care and appreciate them. You can do that. We can all do that, and we've all had it done to us and it feels amazing when someone comes up to you outta nowhere and goes, Hey man, I just wanna tell you, I really appreciate you. I know, I know. Yeah. Sometimes we don't talk to each other that much, but when I do, I really enjoy it.

    30- How do we work to change the world?

     I would challenge you guys to realize that the way that we're going to fix the world is not because of a president. It's not because of a media company. It's not because of your social media account. It's gonna be because of you deciding to live a higher standard in all areas of your life. If we want a better world, we have to create a better world for ourselves.  Other people will follow suit, and that's how the world changes. So when you look around the world and you say, my life doesn't matter, I don't matter, actually realize that it's the opposite. Your actions matter the most because your actions are gonna dictate the reality for another human being, and that human being is going to inspire another human being, and that ripple effect cannot be quantified. And we all have a responsibility to contribute to it. So that's my challenge. Be fucking better.

    3. How do you identify a unique selling point for your agritourism business, and why is it important to have one?
    4. What are some important considerations to keep in mind when starting an agritourism business, such as zoning laws, liability insurance, and permits?
    5. What are some common mistakes that people make when starting an agritourism business, and how can you avoid them?
    6. How can you promote your agritourism business effectively, both online and offline?

    9. What are some trends and changes that are affecting the agritourism industry, and how can you adapt to them?
    10. How can you build strong relationships with local businesses and organizations to support your agritourism business?

    12. What are some resources and networks that you can tap into as an agritourism business owner, such as industry associations or mentorship programs?

    Agritourism businesses can be costly to start and operate, and there are some expenses that are often overlooked. Here are some examples:

    1. Permits and Licensing: Depending on the type of agritourism business you're starting, you may need to obtain permits and licenses from local and state governments. These can be expensive and time-consuming to acquire.
    2. Liability Insurance: Agritourism businesses often involve visitors interacting with livestock, equipment, and other potential hazards. It's important to have liability insurance in case of accidents or injuries.
    3. Infrastructure: Agritourism businesses often require infrastructure like parking lots, restrooms, and picnic areas. These can be expensive to build and maintain, but they're necessary to provide a safe and comfortable experience for visitors.
    4. Marketing and Advertising: It's important to promote your agritourism business to potential customers, but marketing and advertising can be expensive. It's important to develop a comprehensive marketing plan that targets your ideal customers and fits within your budget.
    5. Employee Training: If you have employees working on your farm or ranch, it's important to provide them with proper training and safety protocols. This can be time-consuming and expensive, but it's necessary to ensure the safety of your employees and visitors.
    6. Maintenance and Upkeep: Agritourism businesses require ongoing maintenance and upkeep, from repairing equipment to mowing fields to cleaning up after visitors. These costs can add up over time and should be factored into your budget.
    7. Taxes: Agritourism businesses are subject to a variety of taxes, including property taxes, sales taxes, and income taxes. It's important to understand your tax obligations and to set aside funds to pay them.
    8. Legal Fees: Agritourism businesses may require legal assistance for issues like liability waivers, zoning laws, and contract disputes. Legal fees can be expensive, so it's important to have a plan in place to cover these costs.
    9. Accessibility: Making your agritourism business accessible to visitors with disabilities can be expensive, requiring the installation of ramps, handrails, and other accommodations. It's important to factor these costs into your budget and to comply with accessibility regulations.
    10. Emergency Planning: Agritourism businesses need to have emergency plans in place for situations like severe weather, medical emergencies, and power outages. Developing and implementing these plans can be time-consuming and expensive, but they're essential for the safety of your visitors and employees.

    9. Agritourism and Glamping: Some farmers are now offering glamping (glamorous camping) experiences on their farms, with luxury tents, comfortable bedding, and on-site amenities.
    10. Agritourism and Art: Some farmers are now collaborating with local artists to create art installations and exhibits on their farms, creating a unique and creative agritourism experience.

    • Who is Common Ground IO?
    • What are their offerings?
    • Who is Hudson Crop?
    • History, Mission, Vision
    • Hudson is a market-leading specialty insurer that offers a wide range of property and casualty insurance products to corporations, professional firms, and individuals through retailers, wholesalers and program administrators
    • How did this partnership come about?
    • Flex lease insurance 
    • How it works:
    • If…
    • Commodity prices rally after you have contracted grain, or
    • Commodity prices fall after your Flex Lease Agreement is negotiated based on current market rates and you didn’t contract your grian hoping for a price increase later in the season
    • And…
    • Your Flex Lease Agreement has a bonus clause that you must pay more to your landlord in rent due to higher revenues
    • Then…
    • Flex Lease Insurance covers the difference from the agreed upon rental rates in your agreement and the new rental rate whether due to a bonus or a commodity price fluctuation
    • How has progress come?
    • What impact will this project have on ethanol production in the midwest
    • Why is it such a focus now?
    • How will this help farmers?
    • Advantages of flex leases
    • The actual rent paid adjusts automatically as yields or prices fluctuate
    • The avoidance of committing to a fixed rent amount at a time when many production and market variables remain unknown 
    • Risks are shared between the owner and the tenant, as are profit opportunities
    • Operator - some level of risk protection should costs rise or revenue disappoint
    • Landowners are paid in cash - they do not have to be involved in decisions about crop inputs or grain marketing 
    • Landowner - an opportunity to benefit financially from higher yields and favorable commodity prices
    • How are the producers getting paid? 
    • How are flex leases more beneficial/different than other leases? 
    • Disadvantages
    • Landowner - a flex lease can increase their exposure to risk (compared to a fixed cash lease agreement)
    • Operator - higher revenue from increased yields and/or prices is shared with owner
    • Both parties - flex leasing greatly increases the contract’s complexity
    • Other Questions
    • How are you marketing this to producers to bring them in? 
    • Is there more risk doing a flex lease?
    • What other means are suggested in adopting to reduce the risk? 
    • With a flexible lease, how is the payment for rent in advance determined? Does it change the final payment that depends on the actual prices and yields?
    • Determining Price
    • Expected revenue trigger = expected county yield * projected price * trigger election 
    • To establish a trigger, the producer may elect the following deductible options: 110%, 115%, 120%, and 125%
    • Final revenue = Final county yield * harvest price 
    • What date is used when the crop may be sold later
    • Are forward contract prices included? 
    • What are you most excited for in the future?
    • Flex Lease
    • What challenges may the flex lease face ahead?
    • What can we and our listeners do to help?
    • What did we miss?

She has successfully worked with team members along the way to build a strong reputation for leadership.

Farming was not something he ever thought of doing for a career, but growing up in central Nebraska, it’s tough to not be impacted by agriculture in some way. He grew up helping farmers and seeing how food was produced and the impact agriculture had on his community. From a young age he was intrigued by the fact that his neighbors were feeding the world but the majority of Americans knew nothing about it. The average farmer in the U.S. feeds over 155 people while making up less than 2% of the population.

    So after receiving his degree in Agribusiness, Young began his journey into the unknown world of farming. When he started “Shiloh Farm” in April of 2020 his goal was to pursue a simpler life for his family. With no experience raising livestock, gardening, or raising chickens, he decided to start a homestead from the ground up. His mission was to learn as much as he could about agriculture while sharing his journey and experience with others. He wanted to give people the chance to see what farming was like up close. His opportunity to share his journey with others came much sooner than expected.

    In July 2020, his goal of educating people came to fruition when he started using TikTok. With daily facts about chickens, ducks, vegetables, sheep, and anything agriculture related, he finally found the perfect platform to educate others about the joys of farming. This blossomed into a wonderful opportunity to share agriculture with over 125,000 followers. Whether it’s telling people that all chicken eggs start out white or that you’ve been opening pineapples wrong your whole life, these videos have been making people laugh and learn.

    If there’s a bright spot to this Pandemic it’s that millions of people began growing gardens, buying chickens, and looking for ways to be more self reliant. If they did not have the opportunity to do that, they most certainly began supporting local farmers and ranchers. Looking for ways to support small family businesses as much as possible. That meant a lot of people were in his exact position. Wanting to be self sustainable but having no clue how to start! By sharing his experience with others he hopes to make a positive difference in the homestead community.

    Future plans involve expanding the farm in hopes that they can have a greater impact on the community and produce food for their neighbors. Young is hoping to add a greenhouse, raised beds, and over 500 chickens in 2021. As well as the addition of sheep, goats, turkeys, and whatever rescue animals they can find!

    While he is certainly excited to expand the homestead, his ultimate goal is to continue educating people on where their food comes from. There is such a big difference between farm fresh local produce and something you buy at the grocery store. Did you know the apple you buy at a supermarket is on average over 14 months old? His hope is that by sharing these facts he can grow a following so that more people can see that there is so much more to farming than what people see on T.V. At the end of the day if he can get 1 person to get chickens or to start a garden, it will all be worth it.

    Noah Young is one of those people who believes sharing knowledge is not about giving people something, or getting something from them. Sharing knowledge occurs when people are genuinely interested in helping one another develop new capacities for action; it is about creating a learning process.

    Bill Rubis – Vice President at TenCorp, INC In 2010, they designed and built our first deep-pit cattle barn.

    Exploring the profitability of feeding cattle in confinement settings.

    As the cattle production industry has evolved over the years, there has been a significant shift to feeding cattle indoors.Just like no two cattle operations are the same, confinement buildings come in all shapes and sizes.  Typically, they can be divided into a few broad categories.  

    One major difference is the manure handling style: 

    • deep-pit 
    • In deep-pit buildings the cattle are on concrete slats (usually covered with rubber mats) and manure is stored underneath the building and pumped annually
    • bed-pack. 
    • With bed-pack buildings there is usually a concrete or earthen floor that is covered with bedding (most commonly shredded cornstalk bales).  

    The other key feature is the roof shape.  Cattle buildings usually have one of three roof types: 

    • Hoop (a curved roof usually covered by a canvas fabric)
    • Mono-slope (where one eave is higher than the other)
    • Gable (a traditional peaked roof).  
    • Mono-slope and gable roofed buildings can be made out of both wood and steel.

    Why should our listeners look into confinement feeding for cattle?

    • Weather
    • Feed Conversion
    • Why better?
    • Consistent feed intake
    • Space or Sq Ft
    • More valuable manure

    What are some draw backs from confinement feeding?

    • Large capital investment
    • Anything else?

    Let’s now look more indepth to the types of barns you build the most of – the deep-pit barn. What are some benefits over others?      

    The benefits of this type of deep-pit cattle barn include:

    • Reduction in labor expenses: 0.14 hours vs. 0.38 hours in a bed-pack confinement (per head-space/year)
    • Elimination of bedding expenses
    • Reduction of building size: stocking density of 22 sf (in a slatted barn), vs. 40 sf (in bed pack)
    • Reduction in manure management expenses – only requires 1 pump/year
    • Is this true?
    • Increased manure nutrient levels
    • Why?
    • Increased cattle comfort
    • How

    What are the features of TenCorp, Inc. Standard Barns:

    • Gable Roof Structure
    • With properly designed ridge openings and sidewall height, the gable roof structure provides the ideal ventilation for cattle in every season. Fresh air is drawn in from both sides of the building, and is pulled through the open ridge due to the “stack effect”.
    • Wood-Framed Structure
    • The wood-framed structure provides superior strength for the cattle barn. The roof system includes 1/2″ plywood and felt paper above the purlins. This eliminates condensation issues that are common with metal building systems.

    Pen Configurations

    • The pen sizes are designed to ensure that the cattle are housed as efficiently as possible, while still maintaining adequate bunk space for access to feed.
    • Why does pen size matter?
    • How do we determine pen and barn size?
    • How do we determine bunk space?
    • How do we determine the amount of water access?

    Now cattle feeders don’t just need a good confinement to maximize their efficiency.We also need to be able to provide top quality feed to the cattle.  Why is this important?

    Every cattle production site needs to be able to properly store commodities for use in their operation. 

    • TenCorp, Inc. provides storage solutions for every size of operation — from silage pads, to commodity sheds.
    • Pads-A simple, yet effective solution allows producers to stockpile grain for future use.
    • Bunkers allow more grain to be stored in a smaller area.
    • TenCorp, Inc. works with our customers to determine:
    • Storage capacity needs
    • Ideal width, based on daily usage
    • Length of bunker required
    • Bunker options included poured-in-place walls, or pre-cast panels.
    • Commodity sheds provide storage capacity for the feed stock needed for mixing in the daily feed rations.
    • Our commodity sheds are overbuilt, in order to withstand the day-to-day use required for feeding cattle.
    • Shed features 8-foot concrete base walls, with 10-foot framed walls above. This provides ample head-height for loading equipment.
    • The number of storage bays and sizes are modified in order to meet our customers’ needs.

    What else are we missing for our listeners to learn or know about feeding cattle in confinements?

    What’s the useful life of the buildings?

    How do we work around regulations locally getting permits to build these?

    What does the future of EPA regulations or methane emissions look like for farmers?

    • Does this include the use of aerobic digesters?

    Anything else?

    • Are we working to help the processing end of the cattle industry?
    • Any new plants going up or planned to go up?

    Contact information

    What does being successful mean to you?

    • Consistent feed intake
    • Space or Sq Ft
    • More valuable manure

    What are some draw backs from confinement feeding?

    • Large capital investment
    • Anything else?

    Let’s now look more indepth to the types of barns you build the most of – the deep-pit barn. What are some benefits over others?      

    The benefits of this type of deep-pit cattle barn include:

    • Reduction in labor expenses: 0.14 hours vs. 0.38 hours in a bed-pack confinement (per head-space/year)
    • Elimination of bedding expenses
    • Reduction of building size: stocking density of 22 sf (in a slatted barn), vs. 40 sf (in bed pack)
    • Reduction in manure management expenses – only requires 1 pump/year
    • Is this true?
    • Increased manure nutrient levels
    • Why?
    • Increased cattle comfort
    • How

    What are the features of TenCorp, Inc. Standard Barns:

    • Gable Roof Structure
    • With properly designed ridge openings and sidewall height, the gable roof structure provides the ideal ventilation for cattle in every season. Fresh air is drawn in from both sides of the building, and is pulled through the open ridge due to the “stack effect”.
    • Wood-Framed Structure
    • The wood-framed structure provides superior strength for the cattle barn. The roof system includes 1/2″ plywood and felt paper above the purlins. This eliminates condensation issues that are common with metal building systems.

    Pen Configurations

    • The pen sizes are designed to ensure that the cattle are housed as efficiently as possible, while still maintaining adequate bunk space for access to feed.
    • Why does pen size matter?
    • How do we determine pen and barn size?
    • How do we determine bunk space?
    • How do we determine the amount of water access?

    Now cattle feeders don’t just need a good confinement to maximize their efficiency.We also need to be able to provide top quality feed to the cattle.  Why is this important?

    Every cattle production site needs to be able to properly store commodities for use in their operation. 

    • TenCorp, Inc. provides storage solutions for every size of operation — from silage pads, to commodity sheds.
    • Pads-A simple, yet effective solution allows producers to stockpile grain for future use.
    • Bunkers allow more grain to be stored in a smaller area.
    • TenCorp, Inc. works with our customers to determine:
    • Storage capacity needs
    • Ideal width, based on daily usage
    • Length of bunker required
    • Bunker options included poured-in-place walls, or pre-cast panels.
    • Commodity sheds provide storage capacity for the feed stock needed for mixing in the daily feed rations.
    • Our commodity sheds are overbuilt, in order to withstand the day-to-day use required for feeding cattle.
    • Shed features 8-foot concrete base walls, with 10-foot framed walls above. This provides ample head-height for loading equipment.
    • The number of storage bays and sizes are modified in order to meet our customers’ needs.

    What else are we missing for our listeners to learn or know about feeding cattle in confinements?

    What’s the useful life of the buildings?

    How do we work around regulations locally getting permits to build these?

    What does the future of EPA regulations or methane emissions look like for farmers?

    • Does this include the use of aerobic digesters?

    Anything else?

    • Are we working to help the processing end of the cattle industry?
    • Any new plants going up or planned to go up?

    What does being successful mean to you?

    Agriculture & Turf Division.

    Matt has been the go-to-market manager since January 2017 and has 16

    years of Precision Ag experience with John Deere. In addition to his role at

    John Deere, he actively participates in their row crop, cattle and hog

    operation in North Central Iowa. Matt joined Deere & Company in May 2002

    and has held numerous positions in finance, sales and marketing. In addition

    to his experiences within the Ag and Turf Division, he also has held several

    positions within John Deere Financial.

    Currently, Matt is responsible marketing equipment and technology solutions

    to help farmers increase yields, decrease costs and increase the efficiency of

    the work they do. Matt enjoys working on the family farm, fitness, technology,

    and travel. Matt graduated from Drake University with a B.S degree in

    Accounting and an M.B.A., also from Drake University.

    Topic: Matt would like to discuss Data; Data collection, Data

    management, Data insights, etc.

    1. Commodity prices have risen, input prices have risen, markets are going

    to change. How can John Deere help farmers prepare in advance for

    economic changes?

    2. John Deere just introduced their new G5 Universal displays. How can

    farmers use these on equipment they already own? Are they preloaded

    with software?

    a. One change with the new displays is that G5Plus includes

    AutoTrac, Documentation, and now Section Control in base,

    simplifying the purchase experience.

    b. With the G5 Advanced package, farmers can boost their in-field

    productivity and performance with automation features that

    include AutoTrac™ Turn Automation, AutoPath™, Machine

    Sync, and In-field Data Sharing.

     

    3. Farmers should be gathering as much data as possible they can make

    the best-informed decisions possible – “If you can’t measure it you can’t

    manage it”. What are some ways farmers can collect all the data that’s

    possible?

    a. Today’s machines can document more than what most farmers

    are documenting.

    b. Experts say it takes 3 to 5 years of good ag data to really make

    informed decisions about their operations.

     

    4. What are some tools John Deere offers to bring in data from a mixed

    fleet?

    5. What’s John Deere doing to make its precision-ag technology easy to

    use?

    6. Once machine or agronomic data is in the Operations Center – what can

    farmers do with it?

    7. How can tools in the Operations Center like “Work Planner” be used to

    streamline their farm?

    8. Let’s talk about the connection between data and the operation of the

    machine…

    9. What are some steps farmers can be taking right now to prepare for

    more automation or even autonomy?

    10. How does automation or autonomy lead to increased farm profitability?

    Ryan Jardon - Large Tractors & Tillage Go to Market Manager

    Ryan is responsible for growing the John Deere Large Tractor and Tillage

    equipment and technology business in North America.  Ryan develops

    tactical strategies that enable John Deere dealers to best serve their

    customers.  In his role he collaborates closely with tractor & tillage factory

    teams as well as other strategic groups like Training, Advertising, Order

    Fulfillment, and Pricing & Incentives.

    Ryan grew up on a farm in southwest Iowa and began his career with John

    Deere in 2010.  He has had varying roles of increasing responsibility during

    his time at John Deere, primarily centered around building better large ag

    products and building increasingly more capable John Deere dealers to sell

    and support those products.  Ryan is a graduate of Iowa State University

    where he earned a Bachelor’s in Agricultural Systems Technology and an

    MBA from the University of Iowa.

    Topic: Ryan would like to discuss some of the important Model Year 24

    tractor updates John Deere just announced. This includes an autonomy

    prep option and implement ethernet.

    1. What’s new for Model Year 24 John Deere row-crop tractors?

    a. John Deere is making precision ag easier to use, and more

    accurate. It also helps you get ready for the future of precision ag

    with the autonomy prep and implement ethernet.

    2. For tractors specifically, what are some ways John Deere is making

    precision ag technology easier for farmers to use?

    3. John Deere has an autonomous tractor/tillage solution on display here at

    Commodity Classic

    a. What is this autonomous solution and how does it work?

    b. How does an autonomous tractor help farmers address some of

    the economic challenges on their farm.

     

    4. In the product announcement you talk about the Autonomy Prep Option.

    Tell us more about this. What is it and why would a customer want to

    order it?

    5. What is the Implement Ethernet option?

    6. Could also discuss TruSet Active tillage technology if there is time. This

    is an example of making machines smarter and automating different

    decisions points. It’s another piece that helps get farmers ready to take

    advantage of autonomy.

    7. John Deere already has things like AutoTrac guidance, AutoTrac Turn

    Automation, and AutoPath – these are all “automation” examples. Is this

    technology that’s already on existing machines or something that can be

    easily added?

    8. John Deere autonomous technology includes a perception system that

    looks for anomalies in the field. What happens when this system finds

    something? How are farmers alerted. What actions can farmers take

    after these anomalies are found?

    JORDAN LANG - Performance Upgrade Marketing Manager

    Jordan is responsible for growing the John Deere Performance Upgrade Kit

    business. Jordan leads a team of field specialists responsible for growing

    both sales and dealer engagement, as well as go-to-market activities and

    marketing of the business.

    Jordan grew up on a farm in central Iowa and began his career with John

    Deere in 2011. He has had held roles in the John Deere Ag and Turf Division

    as well as Construction and Forestry Division. Jordan is a graduate of Luther

    College in Decorah, Iowa where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and

    Accounting.

    Topic: Jordan would like to discuss John Deere’s new See & Spray

    Premium performance upgrade kits now being offered to farmers.

    1. John Deere just introduced a See & Spray Premium performance

    upgrade kit.

    2. We will get into that in a minute, but first tell us about John Deere See &

    Spray technology. How does it work and what are some of the

    advantages it brings to the table for farmers?

    3. Ok so how can farmers who already have a newer John Deere self-

    propelled sprayer take advantage of See & Spray technology? (With a

    See & Spray Premium Performance Upgrade kit of course!)

    4. See & Spray Premium is the next addition to the See & Spray lineup. It’s

    a performance upgrade kit that can be installed on John Deere self-

    propelled sprayers.

    5. How old of John Deere sprayer can be upgraded?

    a. This is a great option for farmers who are happy with their

    current sprayers, or who maybe recently traded into a sprayer

    but it still helps them be able to take advantage of the latest

    technology that can help them reduce their chemical usage and

    lower their input costs.

    b. Does the sprayer’s boom or nozzles need to also be updated?

    6. If I retrofit my sprayer with See & Spray Premium what are some of my

    weed control options if I’m a corn, soybean or cotton producer?

    7. What kind of chemical savings might a typical corn or soybean grower be

    looking at if they used this technology?

    8. What’s the difference between See & Spray Premium and See & Spray

    Ultimate?

    9. Tell us about some of the data collection and mapping features that See

    & Spray Premium offers. What are some things farmers can do with this

    information to make their farms more profitable.

    10. Another component to See & Spray Premium is the technology that

    stabilizes the sprayer boom as it moves through the field. Tell us about

    BoomTrac Pro 2.0.

Get strategic about your habits.

    What sets apart great leaders? 

    Great leaders are fanatically consistent with a few strategic habits. Great leaders are fanatically consistent at doing the things most of us only do occasionally. 

    Habits Great Leaders Have in Common 

    The best leaders aren’t always the smartest, hardest working, or best-connected people. The best leaders intentionally commit to strategic habits that produce their desired results. 

    1. The Habit of No Snooze How do you get out of bed each morning?
    2. Do you wake up naturally (with no alarm) ready to attack the day? 
    3. Do you get up after your first alarm? 
    4. Do you wake up to your alarm, hit snooze, wake up again, hit snooze again, and so on?
    5. According to a study done by the University of Notre Dame, 57% of people fit in that third category. 
    6. When you wake up at the right time (with your first alarm or without it,) you’re telling yourself that the first part of your day matters. 
    7. Pro tip: If you want to sleep better, plan out your day the night before. Going to bed with the next day’s lunch, outfits, or meetings already planned will allow your brain to fully rest, leading to higher-quality sleep. 

     

    1. The Habit of Pre-Deciding The basic principle of the habit of pre-deciding is this: 
    2. Any time you can make a decision ahead of time, make it. 
    3. Any time you can automate a decision, automate it.
    4. Decision fatigue is a very real thing. The more decisions you make in a day, the lower the quality of your decision-making ability So, as often as possible make a decision ahead of time. 
    5. One easy way to do this is by blocking off regular time on your calendar for your most important tasks. 
    6. When you make that decision ahead of time, you’re making it easy to become the leader you need to become. 

     

    1. The Habit of Doing the Hard-Right In your leadership, you’re always going to face challenges and obstacles. When you face these challenges, you’ll often have two options. The easy-wrong or the hard-right choice. 
    2. You’ll always be tempted to take the easy way out. 
    3. Many leaders avoid the Hard-Right because it will make a difficult situation even more difficult in the short term. 
    4. You’ll never regret doing what’s right, but you’ll often regret doing what’s easy. 

     

    1. The Habit of You-First Leadership The natural trajectory of leadership is towards self.
    2. I get the credit when things are going well, and I shift the blame when things are going poorly. The habit of You-First Leadership will help you intentionally fight this inclination.
    3. Simon Sinek teaches, “The leaders who get the most out of their people are those who care most about their people.” It really matters that you actually care about people. And that care has to start in your heart before your people feel it in the office. 
    4. But what if you don’t like your team? If you don’t like your team, you’re in one of two situations: 
    5. 1. You have the wrong people. Unless you inherited your team, your team is a combination of what you’ve created and what you’ve tolerated. 
    6. 2. You have the right people, but you haven’t led them well. You might have a capable team, but you haven’t led them to fit the culture, have a strong work ethic, or have passion for the mission. 
    7. Both of these situations are on YOU. 
    8. Side note: You don’t have to like someone to care about them. You can love and respect someone without liking them. If you want to start living with the habit of You-First Leadership, start every interaction with the other person in mind.

    Anything else they’d like to add?

    What does Success look like to them?

Numerous reasons exist for a farm operation to add grain storage to its holdings — reasons that affect long-term profitability. “But just like any other strategy, it’s a tool that can help diversify your risk. I’m not suggesting that farmers store all their grain, but maybe store a certain percentage of it, so that it aligns with your bias of the market and what your cash flow needs are.”

    •  
    • advantages 
    • direct effect to the bottom line
    • allowing you to run more of your operation on your terms
    • gives you more control.

    What are ways for farmers to store grain?

    • Farmers have many options for storing their grain including on-farm storage or working with their local elevator.

    Why Store Grain? -Advantages begin right at harvest.

    • Avoid Historically Low Basis Levels
    • As a function of local supply and demand, basis levels vary across geographies and conditions.  Basis is simply the difference between the local cash price for your grain and the corresponding futures price on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT). 
    • Negative Basis
    • Positive Basis
    • Wide & Narrow Basis
    • “Having on-farm storage gives producers a way to avoid wide basis levels driven by peak harvest supply,” says Steven Aldridge, Origination Manager for Bunge. “Typically basis strengthens post-harvest, and storage allows you to participate in that.”
    • Crop Conditions/Quality
    • crops can also suffer discounting because of other factors, such as quality factors, (e.g. moisture content, damage, or foreign material)
    • One other aspect of storing grain that needs mentioning is grain quality. “You’re storing a perishable product that can be affected by temperature, moisture and pests,” he says. “Keeping the grain in storage without proper monitoring and maintenance could result in ruin. That’s why you need a plan for grain storage and know how marketing that grain aligns with your operation’s financial needs.”
    • Improve Marketing Flexibility
    • Controlling grain storage improves crop-marketing choices in several ways 
    • How far is the elevator or co-op from a processor or export terminal? That basis discount affects your crop and those of your neighbors’ equally.
    • Storage gives you many more options than that. With grain safely in storage, an operation’s delivery radius extends dramatically. It allows producers to search for the best opportunity, rather than being forced to sell as-is to the most convenient local entity.
    • The Futures Hedge
    • On-farm grain storage opens up another important marketing tool that producers can use to manage risk as well as improve their profitability: the futures contract or hedge-to-arrive (HTA)
    • Efficient Operations
    • Time is money” could not ring truer than for farmers during harvest. Delays stemming from weather, transportation time or equipment availability translate to losses in the field or added costs.
    • the local elevator may only accept grains during certain hours or force trucks to wait in queue, causing undesired down-time in the field.
    • There is nothing worse than downtime during great harvest weather
    • If you can haul to your own storage bins, they’re likely within close proximity, cutting down the number of trucks, drivers and fuel required.  This keeps your combine running, making the most of prime harvest days.
    • A delay in harvest could create opportunities for losses from frost, wildlife feeding, wind gusts, stalk deterioration, pests, and fungus all can whittle away at a standing crop.

    ROI and Recouping Investment

    Can I afford to build it? OR How can I afford not to?

    • To get a good idea of the potential return on investment look at tracking the three- to five-year average on basis. That history can show you trends demonstrating basis-level changes on-farm storage can capitalize upon.
    • Use the average in your area divided into the costs of your project to predict your return on investment
    • Overall, four to five years as a typical expectation for an investment in additional storage to capture a return on your investment (ROI)
    • The U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency runs a program called the Farm Storage Facility Loan Program that typically amortizes the investment over seven years.
    • Once we build the storage should we track the actual ROI?
    • Why would knowing this be valuable?

    Investment in Quality

    • mechanical breakdowns create delays that can force harvesting in less-then-ideal conditions. 
    • Quality and reliable facilities reduce the risk for break downs and delays
    • Commercial elevators have two moisture issues to consider when buying grain 
    • safety and quality: In a confined space, grain containing too much moisture heats up, potentially damaging the stored grain and also putting the elevator itself at risk
    • To get grain to optimum conditions they may charge for shrink in addition to drying charges, and these discounts can quickly eat away at your profits.

     

    Additional Comments?

    • Without on-farm storage, this opportunity doesn’t exist for a producer
    • Dealing with the unpredictability of nature lies at the heart of any farming operation. On-farm storage provides an additional tool that can create efficiencies, lower costs and improve revenue while contributing to better risk management and greater opportunity.”

    Introduction John Deere Pre-Roll

    • Around the room solo introduction
    • Keep sending those ideas to farm4profitllc@gmail.com or find us all over social media. We greatly appreciate YOUR help in growing our audience.
    • Topic for the day – How can becoming a better dad….or parent in general affect the profitability of your farm

     

    Ask the listeners to think…..

    • What was the relationship like with your parents like?
    • What’s the first word that comes to mind to describe the relationship with your dad?
    • Is this the same word you want your kids to use?
    • Why or why not?

    Ben Killoy has been helping dads break the cycle and create a lasting feeling of change for the last 6 years.  He helps them grow through generational trauma by redefining what it means to be alive.  He is a certified dad and life coach.  Ben grew up on a farm in Southern Wisconsin, right after high school he joined the marine corps, and then fought the hardest battle of his life which we will learn about today.

    Welcome Ben…….. jump right into the battle that he fought and won!

    Agriculture is a unique profession for this conversation because a lot of our listeners currently work with, have worked with, or will be working with their parents or their kids.  Some, as we have talked about before, may not get a chance to grow up professionally until they are near retirement.  Others that are listening might be the people who aren’t letting their children grow up.  How does this effect the individual’s ability to be a great role model?

    Why are we talking today about the “Business of Fatherhood”

    • Why would we take an entire episode to discuss this topic?
    • How does this relate to the profitability of our listeners farms or businesses?
    • How does this contribute to the success of my life?

    Important Items to Consider:

    • Knowing where you want to go, what you want to be
    • But you must know where we are first
    • Call your shot, what do you want your legacy to be?
    • Knowing you don’t have to go on this journey alone

    What are some big first hurdles when considering the process of possibly becoming a better dad?

    • How can I lead a child through life if I don’t even know where I am going/doing?
    • How do I teach a child to be the things that I am not, or am not good at?
    • What do I need to do to raise a girl….treat them the same or different?

    What in the culture today has made it more of a challenge to be a great dad?

    • Most dads have been told how to make a living, but are rarely taught how to live.
    • How do we feel “ok’ about taking time off of work?
    • How do we prioritize time with family, with our kids?
    • Work life balance gets discussed a lot, is balanced really mean 50/50?
    • High performing dads are a “thing”
    • Are some people busy on purpose?
    • What does it mean to be busy?
    • People can magically find time for things they want to do….. How do we make it to where we want to be with our kids/family?
    • Can a dad be good in their career and be a good dad?

    What if our listener isn’t a dad?

    • How can dad advice translate to everyday life?
    • How could using this conversation today help make you better suited to find a mate?
    • What if I am a female listening to this?  How does this apply to me?
    • Can our listeners be a fatherly figure to someone who isn’t their blood child?

    What does it mean to come home?

    • Are we looking for home in the wrong places?
    • What is “home”? What does that mean?
    • You can’t find or build what you don’t first have for yourself……..

    How does trauma play into this process?

    • First, what is trauma?
    • Do we all have trauma?
    • Is trauma always dark?

    What else do we need to cover today?

    How do we wrap up our message today with a bow on it?

    Blog titles as examples:

    • Breaking the cycle
    • Kids don’t need us to be perfect
    • Are you home yet?
    • Stop being a spectator
    • Life Happens for us, not to us
    • What is your relationship with love?
    • Is your dad proud of you?

    What does success look like for you?

    • Keep sending those ideas to farm4profitllc@gmail.com or find us all over social media. We greatly appreciate YOUR help in growing our audience.
    • Topic for the day – Labor is getting harder to find, could using the H2A program be the solution for you?
    • John Deere Mid-Roll Commercial

     

    Introduce Guests:

    Bio #1

    Bio#2

     

    What is H2A?

    • The H-2A temporary agricultural program allows agricultural employers who anticipate a shortage of domestic workers to bring nonimmigrant foreign workers to the U.S. to perform agricultural labor or services of a temporary or seasonal nature.

    What does it take to qualify for the H-2A Program?

    • a business’s need for workers must:

    • be agricultural in nature,

    • not involve processing a commodity from its raw state into an altered state (e.g., canning), and

    • be temporary (generally less than ten months long).

    • The business must also be able to prove that it is unable to find qualified American workers for open job positions—and that hiring H-2A workers will not put American workers at a disadvantage.

    The Process

    • Pre-Filing – The government requires a lot of information from you before it will grant you a Temporary Labor Certification.
    • 2. SWA – We then submit your Application, on your behalf, to your local State Workforce Agency (SWA).
    • 3. DOL – We then submit, on your behalf, the approved Application, along with additional information and documentation, to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL).
    • 4. Advertising – The DOL then posts the details of the job on seasonaljobs.dol.gov. The process then pauses for about a week
    • 5. USCIS – We generate a Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker and submit it, on your behalf, If you are trying to hire workers who are outside of the country, the USCIS sends the visa petitions to the applicable consulate. The workers then go to the consulate and undergoan interview.

    Timeframes

    • In general, the whole process, from application to worker arrival, takes about 90 days.

    When Should You Apply?

    • H-2A regulations only allow employers to submit Applications for Temporary Labor Certification 60-75 days before the date on which they need workers to arrive.
    • During the application process, you will choose a start and end date (your Period of Need) for the workers. These dates should reflect your need for workers as accurately as possible.

    How Many Workers Should You Request?

    • As with your period of need, the number of workers you request certification to hire must accurately reflect your actual needs.
    • Employers should never request more workers than they expect they will need.
    • If You Need Workers at Different Times of the Year, you may be able to submit multiple applications and obtain certification to hire workers during each period. If the two or more periods are related but do not, together, cover more than 10 months of the year, you can usually submit multiple applications—one for each period.
    • Give an Example

    Employer Obligations

    • Provide workers (H-2A and American) with work contracts orcopies of the Approved Job Order (ETA Form 790).
    • Reimburse workers for their transportation and subsistence expenses within the first pay period, including:

    o the Consulate Fee of $190,

    o the round-trip plane tickets, and

    o subsistence costs, including food, lodging, and fuel costs

    • Help the workers get everything they need upon arrival,

    including:

    o a driver’s license/CDL (if required for the job),

    o a Social Security Card, and

    o a bank account.

    • Give the workers what they need for the job, including:

    o free housing that meets OSHA or ETA standards, depending on when it was built,

    o free transportation to and from the worksite every day and to the grocery store once a week, and

    o any required tools, safety gear, including a means of two-way communication (e.g., a cell phone).

    • Ensure all H-2A workers are covered by Worker’s Compensation at all worksites for the entire contract period.

    • Pay workers, at a minimum, the state minimum wage, the federal minimum wage, the prevailing wage, or your state’s Adverse Effect Wage Rate (as published by the Department of Labor), whichever is the highest.

    • Pay workers at least twice per month. 

    • Provide each worker with a pay slip at the end of every pay period. You can find a pay slip template with all the required fields on our database. 

    • If your state requires it, pay workers the time-and-a-half rate for overtime. In most states, H-2A workers are exempt from overtime. However, some states, like California and Minnesota, require employers to pay the overtime rate if workers work more than a set number of hours.

    • Never take deductions from a worker’s paycheck, except as required by law (e.g., taxes, if applicable) or as specified on your Application for Temporary Labor Certification.

    • If you have American workers performing the same duties as H-2A workers, pay them at least the same wage rate and offer them the same benefits.

     

    Meal Arrangements

    Employers are partially responsible for worker meals. Employers must choose and adhere to one of the following options for the duration of the work period:

    • Option 1: You provide three meals a day for each worker. In this case, you may charge each worker (or deduct from their pay) the daily rate set by the Department of Labor for the provided food. This rate changes periodically. You can find the current rate on the DOL’s website or by contacting us.

    • Option 2: You furnish free and convenient cooking and kitchen facilities for workers to prepare their own meals and provide them with free transportation once a week to purchase groceries.

     

    Three-Quarter Rule

    • The Three-Quarter rule requires you to guarantee a worker employment and payment for at least 3⁄4 of the work hours in the contract period.

    What are some best practices you have seen successful farms using?

    Can you share labor with a neighboring farmer?

    What types of penalties exist if you don’t follow the rules?

    Are the rules subject to change with upcoming legislation?  Is the program in jeopardy?

    Anything else we should cover?

    Please share contact information and any additional resources.

    Ryan Haaland is an attorney who assists clients with real estate projects, business formation and transactions, and estate planning. He works with clients of various sizes, from large national companies to smaller local entities in all aspects of business. He assists ag clients, from family farm startups to larger ag entities, both as it pertains to real estate acquisitions and sales and assisting in corporate structuring and governance

    Intro: Some believe that you need to be a big operator or land owner to justify forming an entity for their operation. Some believe that having the operation owned by a company makes them less attractive because of the corporate “look”. The truth is that structuring your farm operation using one or more business entities is an efficient tool (bang for buck) to protect farmers and their business, and that doesn’t require substantial change in manner of operation. 

     

    1. Limited liability
    2. Protects personal assets from liability related to the business
    3. Even if you own a short 40 and lease the ground out, LLC might be a good idea.  Protects the dirt from exposure to risk related to personal liability (e.g. you’re at fault for a car accident, the farm is at risk)
    4. Want to isolate value from risk using multiple entities
    5. LLC – Partnership
    6. LLC – S Corp
    7. S Corp
    8. C Corp
    9. Potentially limits partners (e.g. non-family farm entities)
    10. Same entity must buy and sell

     

    1. Imposes structure on owners

     

    1. Useful estate planning

    10/17/22 – Mon – F4P – E97 (E221) – Re-Train your brain for Success – Pastor Ashley Lentz, 

                Don’t sweat the small stuff, because it’s all small stuff really.  Don’t worry about tomorrow, tomorrow will take

               care of itself.  Be the thermostat, not the thermometer.  Remember to dream, it’s not a bad thing.

     

    6/2/22 Th – F4F – E171 (E182) – Zoe Kent 

                I wish I knew it was all going to work out. (As her dad has said)  It’s all good now.

     

    9/15/22 – Th – F4F – E186 (E215) - Larson Farms - Chet Larson, Dougo and Big Swede Farm Progress Show

                   Dougo - (Best Advice ever given?) Find something that isn't a job.  Make your career in life something you love.               Find someone who wants help and let them give you a chance.

     

    Failure is an Option

    5/9/22 – F4F  - E169– Ryan Roossinck - Beer Money Pulling Team and TractorZoom

    I wish I had known it was ok to fail.  I wasted so much of my life and my opportunities, because I was striving for the perfect, instead of the good.  Life ain’t perfect and neither are you!  So stop wasting time trying to be perfect while opportunities pass you by.

     

    8/25/22 – Th – F4F – E183 (E206) – Zach Haase –

                Disaster does not define you.  It’s a lesson. Don’t repeat your mistake twice.

     

    5/23/22 – F4F – E170 (E180) – The Famer Jon – Jon Dinsmore

    It’s ok to expect failure.  Life is happening so fast, it’s ok to fail.  Just because you fail, don’t stop.  Everyone that is successful has failed, but they didn’t stop. 

     

    8/1/22 - Mon - F4P - E86 (E199) - Jace Young - What to Avoid Doing: Legacy Farmer

                99% of success is found in learning what not to do. (author, Keith Cunningham)  It's not from people's wins that

                we learn. It's from their losses that can really save us in the long run.  Share what's NOT working, so others can

                learn from you.  Share your mistakes. "Greatness is not a destination, it's a journey that never ends."

     

    11/28/22 – Mon – F4P – E103 (E233) Improve/Rehab Livestock Facilities – Nick Stellern Integrity Builders & Supply

    Don’t be afraid to make mistakes and fail.There’s a lot to be learned from failing.  You make some of your best decisions after you’ve made mistakes.  If you make the same mistake twice, you’ll learn even quicker…I hope.

     

    Try Something New

    11/14/22 – Mon – F4P – E101 (E229) Kelly Garrett - High Yields, Plant Food and Direct Sale Beef Farm Progress Show

                You’ve got to be humble enough to realize that the yield limiting factor on your farm is probably you.

                If you don’t have 10 acres on your farm to experiment to get bigger yields, then you’re probably already broke.

     

    8/22/22 – Mon – F4P – E89 (E205) – Benefits of Microbials in Livestock – Dr. Lisa Marotz, from Native Microbials

                Always get out of your comfort zone.  If you’re feeling too comfy and bored, it’s time to move!

     

    8/18/22 – Th – F4F – E182 (E204) – Lane Gorrell

    A quote from John Wayne – “Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway.”  Live life as you want to live.  When it’s rough, keep your head up and thank the good Lord, and keep a positive mind.  Don’t let things get you down too bad.  You can have a bad day, but don’t let it ruin your life. 

     

     

     

     

    8/11/22 – Th – F4F – E181 (E202) – Dwayne Faber –

    At the end of life, when people look back on their life, they have regrets of ‘omission’ rather than of ‘commission’.Meaning – go out and live your life and take chances and do things that may be scary.  You’ll probably regret not doing things instead of doing things and possibly failing.

     

    2/14/22 – F4F – E163 – Valentine’s Day Power Couple – Steven & Melissa Pierce

                Steven – I wish I knew things could be done differently than the way dad or gpa did them.  Just because it’s

    always been done this way, doesn’t make it the best way.  Think outside the box and try different ways to 

    do things.

     

    1/3/22 - F4F - E160 - Tony Feed and friends - invited back 3 of the top 10 guests - 

    Huey – Things take time, but you have time!  Do more things in your life; you can always change courses.

     

    10/31/22 – Mon – F4P – E99 (E225) – Mitchell Hora – Contiuum Ag – Fresh on the Forbes 30 under 30 Farm Progress Show

    Get the first check! Start small, try something new to get that first check.  Possibly try a new product, or new procedure, but make sure there’s a market.  After you get that first check, others come easier.In business and farming, figure out the first one, then rinse and repeat.

     

    No One Else Defines Who You Are

    6/16/22 Th - F4F – E173 (E186) - Breanna Mueller, Ag teacher (Gabby's first commercial for Agcareers.com)

                You can't let the way you grew up define what you want to do in the future.  If you're willing to work for it, go    out and get the knowledge and put yourself in different experiences.  You can do anything you want.  Your past       doesn't define your future.  Take control of what you want to do.

     

    4/25/22 – F4F – F168 – New York Farm Girls! Evelyn (22), Claudia (19), JoJo (16)

    Evelyn – I wish I knew about this podcast.  I have a 30 minute commute to work every day, and this is going to be my new thing.

    Claudia – When you think of other people’s perception of you, and if you’re concerned about what other people are thinking about you, you’re never going to truly live your best life.  Have confidence in yourself, and it will take you to big places! Just trust to be yourself!

     

    2/14/22 – F4F – E163 – Valentine’s Day Power Couple – Steven & Melissa Pierce

    Melissa – I wish the things that you stressed out about when you were younger, I shouldn’t have worried about

    them so much.Just do your best, and don’t stress.

     

    1/3/22 - F4F - E160 - Tony Feed and friends - invited back 3 of the top 10 guests - 

                Justin – Don’t worry so much about what other people think.  I wish I wouldn’t have worried as long as I did

    about other people.Be unapologetically yourself!

     

    12/27/21 - F4P - E66 - Most Common Traits of Successful Farmers - Robert & Emily Sharkey

                2022 question-Rob - Don't criticize yourself so much; focus on what you do well; be more confident;

     

    9/12/22 – Mon – F4P – E92 (E211) - Challenges of Farming with In-laws - Lauren Lundt - Iowa Farmer's Wife and

                Lauren - Stop looking out; turn and look into your own home.  If you compare yourself to everyone else, you'll   always feel like a failure.  Focus on yourself and your spouse, that's the only way to be happy.  Not all social            media platforms are real life.   

                

    11/17/22  – Th – F4F – E195 (E230) Ag with Emma “43,560” square feet in an acre

                Best advice given – Always remember who you are, where you’re from and where you’re going.  Have fun!

    At the end of life, when people look back on their life, they have regrets of ‘omission’ rather than of ‘commission’.Meaning – go out and live your life and take chances and do things that may be scary.  You’ll probably regret not doing things instead of doing things and possibly failing.

     

    2/14/22 – F4F – E163 – Valentine’s Day Power Couple – Steven & Melissa Pierce

                Steven – I wish I knew things could be done differently than the way dad or gpa did them.  Just because it’s

    always been done this way, doesn’t make it the best way.  Think outside the box and try different ways to 

    do things.

     

    1/3/22 - F4F - E160 - Tony Feed and friends - invited back 3 of the top 10 guests - 

    Huey – Things take time, but you have time!  Do more things in your life; you can always change courses.

     

    10/31/22 – Mon – F4P – E99 (E225) – Mitchell Hora – Contiuum Ag – Fresh on the Forbes 30 under 30 Farm Progress Show

    Get the first check! Start small, try something new to get that first check.  Possibly try a new product, or new procedure, but make sure there’s a market.  After you get that first check, others come easier.In business and farming, figure out the first one, then rinse and repeat.

     

    No One Else Defines Who You Are

    6/16/22 Th - F4F – E173 (E186) - Breanna Mueller, Ag teacher (Gabby's first commercial for Agcareers.com)

                You can't let the way you grew up define what you want to do in the future.  If you're willing to work for it, go    out and get the knowledge and put yourself in different experiences.  You can do anything you want.  Your past       doesn't define your future.  Take control of what you want to do.

     

    4/25/22 – F4F – F168 – New York Farm Girls! Evelyn (22), Claudia (19), JoJo (16)

    Evelyn – I wish I knew about this podcast.  I have a 30 minute commute to work every day, and this is going to be my new thing.

    Claudia – When you think of other people’s perception of you, and if you’re concerned about what other people are thinking about you, you’re never going to truly live your best life.  Have confidence in yourself, and it will take you to big places! Just trust to be yourself!

     

    2/14/22 – F4F – E163 – Valentine’s Day Power Couple – Steven & Melissa Pierce

    Melissa – I wish the things that you stressed out about when you were younger, I shouldn’t have worried about

    them so much.Just do your best, and don’t stress.

     

    1/3/22 - F4F - E160 - Tony Feed and friends - invited back 3 of the top 10 guests - 

                Justin – Don’t worry so much about what other people think.  I wish I wouldn’t have worried as long as I did

    about other people.Be unapologetically yourself!

     

    12/27/21 - F4P - E66 - Most Common Traits of Successful Farmers - Robert & Emily Sharkey

                2022 question-Rob - Don't criticize yourself so much; focus on what you do well; be more confident;

     

    9/12/22 – Mon – F4P – E92 (E211) - Challenges of Farming with In-laws - Lauren Lundt - Iowa Farmer's Wife and

                Lauren - Stop looking out; turn and look into your own home.  If you compare yourself to everyone else, you'll   always feel like a failure.  Focus on yourself and your spouse, that's the only way to be happy.  Not all social            media platforms are real life.   

                

    11/17/22  – Th – F4F – E195 (E230) Ag with Emma “43,560” square feet in an acre

                Best advice given – Always remember who you are, where you’re from and where you’re going.  Have fun!

                Best advice “observed” – Be yourself around others so they will be themselves around you.

    What's Working in Ag Segment

    Smart Agri Labs is a privately-owned agtech company based in Des Moines, USA with a mission to increase row crop farm profitability by leveraging underutilized farm data. Their first offering, Smart Seed Selector, is an AI-powered platform that helps US corn/soybean growers and ag advisors choose seed products that reduce weather risk and increase yields by 6-8 bu/acre over traditional approaches.

    Jason Brown

     

    Tony Reed sent us a list of things that he has heard and believes to be true, but we are going to bust them all today

     

    Myths to Bust:

    • Environmental
    • Tiling leads to more soil erosion – Compared to surface runoff, tiling moves water quite slowly. The maximum capacity of tile systems is in the range of a half-inch of drainage per day. Concerns about swollen ditches and streams are legitimate, but as I look at data collected over the last century, the underground tile portion of drainage systems is a very small contributor during high flow periods. Keep in mind that streams and ditches carry both tile water and surface runoff, and that high flows generally occur over relatively short periods of time — right after larger rains that cause significant overland surface runoff. Many older tile systems also convey surface runoff that gathers in low spots with open inlets. Modern tiling practices usually result in systems with fewer open inlets.
    • Tile contributes to a higher rate of flooding or more often flooding
    • Tiling contributes to water quality problems.This is an issue of trade-offs. Tile water does contain nutrients and sediment. There is a large body of research showing that tile drainage reduces surface runoff, resulting in less sediment transport. There is a corresponding reduction in phosphorus losses, though not quite as large due to the presence of a very small amount of dissolved phosphorus contained in tile water.  Tile drainage also contains nitrates. The key to determining the net effect of tiling lies in understanding how much sediment and phosphorus are reduced relative to the increase in nitrates. In my experience, in most situations the tradeoff is positive, especially considering that people need to eat, and farmers are becoming increasingly aware of this concern and are working ever harder at improving their nitrogen application practices. Solutions beyond the field are also happening, such as denitrification in wetlands and drainage ditches.
    • Tiling is unregulated – Tiling is one of the most highly regulated activities affecting farmers. Several federal, state and local agencies have regulatory authority under various federal, state and local laws, rules and ordinances allowing review of drainage projects. Some drainage activities require permits, while others are simply reviewed and either approved or denied. It is common for as many as seven regulators to review a proposed drainage project to insure compliance with all rules.

     

     

     

     

    • Physical
    • Tiling is bad for soil health. Healthy soils contain both water and oxygen. Many of the most productive soils in the Midwest are not able to drain naturally, starving the microorganisms in the soil of oxygen. This, in turn, affects nutrient cycling in the soil and can reduce crop productivity, which is important in returning organic matter to the soil to continue the cycle. Improved drainage contributes to improved soil health.
    • Once tile is in it can’t be removed or cleaned out
    • I don’t have an outlet so I can’t install tile– What options are available if no clear outlet?
    • The tile/pipe designed and sold today is only meant to last 10 years
    • I have sandy soils so there is no benefit to tile
    • There are no conferences or educational opportunities to learn about conservation and drainage
    • Highlight all the educational opportunities

     

    • Anything else you’d like to add?
    • What’s the best advice you have ever been given?

    • Standard mileage rate. The business standard mileage rate from January 1, 2022, to June 30, 2022, is 58.5 cents per business mile. The business standard mileage rate from July 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022, is 62.5 cents per business mile.
    • Increased section 179 expense deduction dollar limits. The maximum amount you can elect to deduct for most section 179 property you placed in service in 2022 is $1,080,000.

    • Prepare your tax returns.

    For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be a farmer. When I graduated

    from high school I went to Iowa State. I wasn’t sure if there would be room for me on the farm. College lasted 3 semesters. I didn’t like being indoors tied to a book. So I worked building houses, then for a commercial insulation company until Spring of 1998, I got my chance to farm.

     

    Being invited to be part of a community like XtremeAg is an honor for me. I think the other members represent some of the best farmers from around the country, and I am truly humbled to be part of this. XtremeAg to me is real farmers sharing and collaborating their experiences with others in an honest and unbiased environment.

    • The 7th generation Iowa farmer, Mitchell founded Continuum Ag in 2015 to help farmers quantify and improve their soil health. The company's TopSoil Tool helps farmers garner agronomic insights and profit from environmental outcomes, like carbon sequestration. Since launching TopSoil in 2020, Continuum Ag has amassed a footprint of 36 states and 14 countries and one of the largest private soil health databases. The market efforts have expanded via the more than 350 TopSoil Network Consultants.

     

    What is Continuum Ag?

    • Continuum Ag was started as an agricultural consulting company, with its agronomists supporting their farmers through services such as soil sampling and fertility recommendations. 
    • Today, Continuum Ag operates by deploying its soil health-focused RightWay program on farms across the Midwest with a footprint throughout the country and as far away as South Africa. 

     

    What is Ecosystem Service Market Consulting?

    • Corporations, non-profits, farmers, and more all need an understanding of emerging ecosystem service markets. 

     

    Our listeners listen to us to be entertained but also to learn how their farms can improve profitability.  What do you guys do to help improve yield and profitability?

    • We offer an array of services to get you started on the right foot with regenerative, sustainable ag that will boost your yield and boost your profits.

     

    What are some key ways to begin improving Profitability?

    • As agronomists and farmers ourselves, our initial goal is to drive instant farm profits. 
    • With soil health data and unbiased recommendations, the TopSoil Tool helps farmers start their crop production system on the right foot. 
    • Users can create custom recommendation algorithms, factor in soil biology, and assess opportunities to improve regenerative farm management.

     

    Tell us more about the TopSoil Tool 

    • Data Management
    • Review test results, organic carbon, biological activity, and plant-available nutrients.
    • Live Tracking
    • Track your GPS location and toggle field parameters for optimal decisions.
    • Interactive Features
    • Drop pins, create scouting reports and track as-applied data while in the field.
    • Farmer-Owned Data
    • Data is owned by the farmer, we help to create ROI.

     

    How are you saving more than $112.42 per acre on fertilizer? (Amount from his website)

    • Our RightWay soil sampling helps farmers avoid overapplying (and wasting money on) environmentally-unfriendly fertilizer that is never used by the plant.

     

    What is your recommended soil sampling method?

    • Our RightWay Program replaces the current grid soil sampling system with an up-to-date detailed analysis that improves on-farm fertility management. Using data layers of soil type, slope, elevation, and crop suitability rating, we run an in-field variability analysis on your farm to form 10-acre zones. From these zones, we take a representative sample and send it to a lab where we’ve teamed up with the world’s leading soil scientists for Haney Testing.

    A lot of the talks that you give and content that you produce is focused on regenerative farming practices.  As part of your role and your company do you help others with their farming practices?

    • Step-by-step regenerative ag guidance.
    • What is the Regen Roadmap?
    • A detailed custom-made document with your prescription for how to implement regen ag to ensure best practices field by field. 
    • Do you help create customized prescriptions?
    • When regenerative practices are incorrectly implemented, this often results in lost yield and lost profits for farmers. The Regen Roadmap gives you expert agronomic advice on practice changes to give you confidence in executing regenerative ag for better yield and better profits field by field.

     

    What is the process to getting started?

    1. Fill out your farmer profile on TopSoil.
    2. Meeting with your customer success representative to understand objectives.
    3. Delivery of Regen Roadmap, detailing recommended practices.
    4. Monthly check-in from your customer success representative – continually updating profile.
    5. Annual review to highlight value and plan next season.

    Ag Technology – SMS & Cloud base computing – Data & Data Management

    • Eastern Sales Manager – Luke James
    • Luke James is a Sales Manager (North America) at Ag Leader Technology based in Ames, Iowa. Previously, Luke was an Agronomic and Business Management consultant at James Farms
    • What’s Luke’s tie to agriculture
    • Where is Luke’s family farm?
    • What do they farm?
    • How are they using their data?
    • "The agriculture industry is utilizing data more than ever before," says Brian Luck, a biological systems engineering professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. "Data is gathered on the soil within fields, the plants growing on fields, the weather occurring during growing season, and the machinery used in fields."
    • What good is all the data being collected if you don’t know how to use it or read it?
    • What types of things can farmers easily do with the technology available today?
    • Farmers can then visualize their fields on the map and pinpoint exact areas that need more fertilizer or water. 
    • By providing decision support and automation, these cloud-based solutions help solve agricultural problems and increase the efficiency and productivity of farms.
    • All this data sounds like a big job to store and organize.  How do we do this? How to collect it?
    • This plethora of information can be uploaded to the cloud, which provides enough storage, speed, and computing power to analyze the collected data and package it in a form useful to farmers. 
    • "Timely processing of data allows producers to take action within a growing season and correct problems before they become detrimental to yield,"
    • Ag Leader’s newCloud-based Platform, AgFiniti®, puts information at the growers’ fingertips by providing tools to manage, access and share their valuable field data for use in making profit-driven management decisions on the farm. 
    • Ag Leader built their software from the ground up & is one of the most versatile software’s on the market.
    • What is the cloud?
    • Why the cloud?
    • There are many benefits to cloud-based services on the farm. 
    • connectivity and accessibility of storage the cloud can provide. Having access to your farm data anytime right from your phone or connecting all of your displays across your operation so each one has all the latest maps and info are good examples. 
    • If you’re working with trusted advisors, like an agronomist, to generate custom prescriptions, it’s helpful to have it sent right to your in-cab display. 
    • What types of people do farmers share their data with?
    • Guidance lines, prescriptions, as-applied maps and more can be sent and received wirelessly from field to office and shared with trusted advisors such as dealers, co-ops or farm managers.
    • Combine to grain cart to truck driver to manager to agronomists to etc…..
    • How do you know my data is safe?
    • Read the terms of use and privacy policies. We’ve always been transparent about our data privacy policy and terms of use.
    • What if I’m not ready for the cloud?
    • If that’s you, SMS Software can help you analyze data collected from just about any brand of display on your farm. You can choose for your data to ONLY live on your desktop.
    • What does SMS mean? Or stand for?
    • If we are going to look at cloud base communications what types of limitations are there?
    • "The current limitation for the adoption of cloud computing services is rural internet speeds," says Luck. "Imagine having gigabytes of image data that takes hours — if not days — to get uploaded to the cloud due to slow internet speeds."
    • Takes me sometimes forever to load a podcast video file to the cloud
    • How do I know my information is safe?
    • Sometimes the world of “big data” gets a bad rap. Especially when it comes to data privacy. Some companies in the spotlight recently haven’t done themselves any favors by not being completely transparent.
    • In today’s climate, many farmers are concerned about companies using files stored, prescriptions created and other farm data that is in the cloud for analysis of their operation which can then be used against them when it’s time to make a purchase decision.
    • What also makes AgFiniti different from other solutions on the market is our stance on data privacy. We know growers value their privacy and that’s why with AgFiniti the data is 100% theirs,”
    • Does it take a lot of new technology to start capturing and analyzing data like we are describing?
    • Ag Leader® Integra or Versa™ display users simply need to purchase an Ag Leader USB Wi-Fi Adapter and a license to access a wireless internet network in the cab through any hotspot of their choice, including: smartphone, tablet, MiFi device or office Wi-Fi network.
    • What’s this going to cost our listeners?
    • “AgFiniti is an affordable and reliable solution for wireless connectivity in the field because it allows users the flexibility to choose the best wireless service carrier in their local area and hotspot device,” states Luke James, Software Sales Manager.
    • What are some extra benefits?
    • Additionally, AgFiniti Remote Support allows dealers or farm managers to connect to the user’s display in the field for viewing and trouble-shooting from another location to help resolve issues faster and reduce downtime.
    • What types of Ag leader products allow the farmer to collect data?
    • Year Round Functionality
    • Split Screen Capability
    • Row by Row mapping from planter
    • Yield Summaries
    • Maps & Stats
    • Does the display matter?
    • Incommand 800 benefits

    Never leave the house without saying goodbye.

    Keep your spouse’s secrets—no matter how small.

    When bringing up a complaint or criticism, start with a compliment first.

    Split the household chores evenly.

    Change things up to avoid boredom.

    Don’t ever stop going on dates.

    But make certain topics off-limits during date night.

    Don’t try to change your spouse.

    Understand that love changes over time—and embrace that change.

    Leave little love notes around the house for your spouse to find.

    And spend some quality time apart, too.

    Remember to thank your spouse, even for the little things.

Ashley is passionate about teaching others and is here today to help us understand the scarcity mindset.

    • What is a “Scarcity Mindset”?
    • A scarcity mindset is when you are so obsessed with a lack of something — usually time or money — that you can't seem to focus on anything else, no matter how hard you try.
    • Why is it important to be recording a conversation today for farmers and business owners to learn about a scarcity mindset?
    • What is the opposite of a scarcity mindset?
    • How is a culture of scarcity effecting the world right now?
    • Brene Brown Quote “ You can tell a culture is deeply in scarcity when the conversation at a cultural level revolves around what should I be afraid of right now and whose fault is it?”
    • How does the scarcity mindset work?
    • The Loop
    • Fear, Anxiety, Poor Choices
    • How does an abundance mindset work?
    • The Loop
    • Gratitude, Peace of Mind, Wise Choices, Positive Outcomes
    • Hosts Self reflection
    • What does scarcity look like to an auctioneer?
    • Banker, Farmers, Pastor, Podcast hosts
    • Flip it…..what could or should an abundant mindset look like in those situations?
    • Let’s take action….What can we do to begin shifting our mindset? From Scarcity to Abundant?
    • 1.) Focus on what you have. ...
    • 2.) Surround yourself with people that have an abundance mindset. ...

    • Why is it important to be recording a conversation today for farmers and business owners to learn about a scarcity mindset?
    • What is the opposite of a scarcity mindset?
    • How is a culture of scarcity effecting the world right now?
    • Brene Brown Quote “ You can tell a culture is deeply in scarcity when the conversation at a cultural level revolves around what should I be afraid of right now and whose fault is it?”
    • How does the scarcity mindset work?
    • The Loop
    • Fear, Anxiety, Poor Choices
    • How does an abundance mindset work?

    • What does scarcity look like to an auctioneer?
    • Banker, Farmers, Pastor, Podcast hosts
    • Flip it…..what could or should an abundant mindset look like in those situations?
    • Let’s take action….What can we do to begin shifting our mindset? From Scarcity to Abundant?
    • 1.) Focus on what you have. ...
    • 2.) Surround yourself with people that have an abundance mindset. ...
    • 3.) Create win-win situations. ...
    • 4.) Incorporate gratitude into your daily life. ...
    • 5.) Train your mind to recognize the possibilities

    o He is the Investment Manager for Row Crops; I work with a team to source, structure, and fund deals on

    acretrader.com. I see my role primarily as a translator between farmers and investors as our investment

    mandate is focused around finding opportunities that are a clear, long term win for both the farmer and

    operator. 

     What is AcreTrader?

    o platform connecting operators to investors

    o crowdsourcing structure we give retail investors access to the asset class at a fractional cost

     Who can invest through AcreTrader?

    o a minimum investment may be between $5 - 50k rather than the millions it takes to buy a whole farm.

    o At present we have over 100,000 registered users on the site and about $350m in AUM across row crop

    operations, permanent crop operations, and timber, most of which has been funded in the past 18

    months.

     

     Why has this concept been so popular?

    o The vast majority of the deals funded on our platform are brought to us by operators.

     So when a farmer has a piece of property they want to begin farming (or continue farming if a

    landlord is selling out from under them) but aren't in a position to buy in full, investors step in to

    fill the purchase price.

     

    o Alongside a rapidly growing global population and demand for food, farmland offers a truly diversified

    investment opportunity with attractive long-term returns.

     

     How does the ROI compare to other investment classes?

    o Stocks, Bonds, Gold, Etc….

     

    o Speed, Expertise, Flexibility

     Where do you guys do business at?

    o We are currently active in 18 states, though are able to work nationwide and plan to continue expansion

    as operator need dictates. 

     

     Farm4Profit…..that’s what our listeners care about. How does this help?

    o There are lots of options for farmers to seek capital; the advantage of ours puts the financial risk on the

    investor

     It’s a transparent/democratic model, centered around the operator.

    o Farmers can expand their operation or just simply raise capital

    o We also have an expanding list of deal structures

     raising improvement budget for tile/land improvement

     offering farmers opportunities to be partial owners

     sale/leasebacks

     

     Is finding an investor partner something that is hard to do?

    o AcreTrader manages all the investors so the farmer can focus exclusively on farming the ground.

     What works “well” with Acre Trader?

    o What doesn’t work “well” with Acre Trader?

     Did we miss anything?

     What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given?

     Summary

    Cartace by Ag Leader

    What is CartAce?

    • Turning drivers into skilled grain cart operators
    • A grain cart operator arguably has the most critical job in the operation, CartACE keeps the combine and the operation moving smoothly without costly delays or mistakes. Now almost anyone can fill this critical role. 

    How does CartAce work?

    • When it’s time to unload, the grain cart engages with press of button and automatically steers on a line directly under the combine’s auger. Autosteer takes over steering to assist operator with accurately unloading on the go.
    • What do you do when the combine is done dumping?

    Is this a fully autonomous grain cart?

    • No this program assists the grain cart operator
    • Simply get close to the combine and engage steering. Guidance line is automatically created using the logged combine data allowing grain cart to steer on combine path for easier unloading.

    Can you run this program with multiple grain carts and combines?

    • All Machines and Vehicles Connected
    • Support for multiple combines working together, combine displays match sharing information live progress and share with connected vehicles.

    What other benefits are there when using this program?

    • Live Map and Location 
    • Track combine’s progress with a live map of harvested portion of the field from the display in the grain cart and on iPad from anywhere. Know when and where to be to operate efficiently.
    • Live Grain Tank Counter
    • No more guessing where the combine is or watching for that amber flashing light. Know exactly when and where to meet the combine to unload.

    Does this program connect with anything that allows me to watch progress while I’m not in the field?

    • See Harvest Progress From Anywhere – make informed decisions on the go
    • Download our AgFiniti app and sync your tablet or phone with your Ag Leader devices to view data from home or while you’re on the road.
    • Live maps on the go
    • Tracking the combine
    • Syncs wirelessly

    Native Microbials - Purpose built microbial solutions for your animal, from your animal.

    Lisa Marotz, PhD

    Microbiome Scientist, Native Microbials

    Lisa obtained her PhD in Biomedical Sciences from UC San Diego in 2020. During her graduate research she developed novel protocols and computational tools to elucidate complex microbial communities through next-generations sequencing which led to more than 20 peer-reviewed publications. After graduating she spent a year as a postdoctoral fellow where she focused on scaling up rapid qPCR testing at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and identify the microbial communities co-associated with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Lisa joined Native Microbials in early 2021 where she designs and analyses both commercial and academic studies to validate novel dairy cow endomicrobials.

    Who is Native Microbials 

    • founded in 2015 with a simple mandate to extend proprietary technical advancements in genomics, microbiology, and bioinformatics into Animal Health and Nutrition. 
    • now have a global team of scientists, technicians, and commercial support personnel that works tirelessly to ensure our world's animals can receive the best microbes earth has to offer

    We have talked with BW Fusion about microbes in crop production, but Why use microbials in livestock?

    • Microbes that are native to animals are safer, more sustainable, and vastly superior influencers of the environmental phenomena happening in animals than anything humanity has already discovered or designed.
    • What is an endomicrobial?

    What ways can microbials be delivered to animals or livestock?

    • Feed, water, what else?

    What animals can microbials work for?

    • ?

    How can feeding microbials to livestock increase profitability?

    What types of things can microbials achieve in livestock?

    • Dairy
    • Beef
    • Poultry
    • Swine
    • Equine
    • Pets

    How do you go about discovering what is going to work for each animal?

    • Decode the Interactions (what research is done to figure out what works)
    • The Native Microbials Technology Platform transforms the analysis of microbial communities with a unique identification of microbial strains that are the most efficacious for desired mechanisms of commercial, health, environmental, and societal value.
    • Biomass (how do we track the amount needed and not “overdose”)
    • Microbial populations and systems are not static—they are dynamic and constantly responding to changes in their environment. The number of cells in a microbial community can change significantly over time for any multitude of reasons within different microbe 
    • Why does this matter?
    • At Native Microbials we have pioneered the incorporation of absolute cell counts into microbial community analysis to measure the overall system more directly and how it shifts in response to random or induced perturbations.
    • Activity Layers (What is really working in these combinations)
    • Although microbial communities are incredibly diverse, only a portion of the community members will be active at any given time. 
    • this is done through the activation and deactivation of specific metabolic processes. 
    • Delivery (How do we get the microbial to our livestock)
    • Moist feed rations, containing free radicals and endogenous bioburden and feed sanitation practices such as steam pelleting, can all negatively impact viability of a novel microbial solution. 
    • Mixing procedures on-farm or in your animals feed can also be a challenge. 
    • Native Microbials partners with many farms and industries to understand and incorporate the details of these on-farm challenges into the engineering of our microbial solutions through product formulations, specific and customized administration protocols, and value-added services like mixing studies thus enabling our customers to extract maximum value out of the products 

    What is the best advice you have every been given?

    How do you go about discovering what is going to work for each animal?

    • Decode the Interactions (what research is done to figure out what works)
    • The Native Microbials Technology Platform transforms the analysis of microbial communities with a unique identification of microbial strains that are the most efficacious for desired mechanisms of commercial, health, environmental, and societal value.
    • Biomass (how do we track the amount needed and not “overdose”)
    • Microbial populations and systems are not static—they are dynamic and constantly responding to changes in their environment. The number of cells in a microbial community can change significantly over time for any multitude of reasons within different microbe 
    • Why does this matter?
    • At Native Microbials we have pioneered the incorporation of absolute cell counts into microbial community analysis to measure the overall system more directly and how it shifts in response to random or induced perturbations.
    • Activity Layers (What is really working in these combinations)
    • Although microbial communities are incredibly diverse, only a portion of the community members will be active at any given time. 
    • this is done through the activation and deactivation of specific metabolic processes. 
    • Delivery (How do we get the microbial to our livestock)
    • Moist feed rations, containing free radicals and endogenous bioburden and feed sanitation practices such as steam pelleting, can all negatively impact viability of a novel microbial solution. 
    • Mixing procedures on-farm or in your animals feed can also be a challenge. 
    • Native Microbials partners with many farms and industries to understand and incorporate the details of these on-farm challenges into the engineering of our microbial solutions through product formulations, specific and customized administration protocols, and value-added services like mixing studies thus enabling our customers to extract maximum value out of the products

    • Meet Kaitlyn Thornton, a 4th generational farmer, born and raised on her family’s ranch in Tonasket, Washington. 
    • The family farm started with 100 acres in the Tonasket area by her Great Grandfather, Roy. The farm eventually went to the wayside until Kaitlyn’s father shared the same passion as Roy and picked up where he left off. Buying back the family’s land piece by piece, the farm grew from just 27 acres to over 440 operational acres.
    • Our orchard is 30 minutes from the Canadian border in Tonasket.
    • She also manages the TikTok account for SugarBee apples, a proprietary variety that the family happens to farm as well. She has a passion for connecting consumers to their food source and helping consumers understand what it really takes to run a farm and how to choose a great eating apple. 
    • Kaitlyn has also started a business of her own. What started as a challenge in High School to see if she could sell 20 boxes of apricots on Facebook, has now grown to a full-blown business, Kait’s Crates. 
    • The first year she sold over 400 boxes of fruit, 500 the following year, and over 1,000 the year after. With the power of social media, everywhere. She has now earned the name “Apple Queen” in the Tonasket area

I learned a lot about mechanics but I also got to spend time with the truckers who hauled the fruit, so it was fascinating to hear about that side of the business as well.

The farm eventually went to the wayside until Kaitlyn’s father shared the same passion as Roy and picked up where he left off. Buying back the family’s land piece by piece, the farm grew from just 27 acres to over 440 operational acres.
    • Our orchard is 30 minutes from the Canadian border in Tonasket.
    • She also manages the TikTok account for SugarBee apples, a proprietary variety that the family happens to farm as well. She has a passion for connecting consumers to their food source and helping consumers understand what it really takes to run a farm and how to choose a great eating apple. 
    • Kaitlyn has also started a business of her own. What started as a challenge in High School to see if she could sell 20 boxes of apricots on Facebook, has now grown to a full-blown business, Kait’s Crates. 
    • The first year she sold over 400 boxes of fruit, 500 the following year, and over 1,000 the year after. With the power of social media, everywhere. She has now earned the name “Apple Queen” in the Tonasket area

    • really interested in engines so last summer I started hanging around a diesel shop with big semi-trucks used for transportation. I learned a lot about mechanics but I also got to spend time with the truckers who hauled the fruit, so it was fascinating to hear about that side of the business as well.

    5 ways to ruin your family farm                                    https://www.legacyfarmer.org/about

    Jace Young, our Founder and CEO, is a Western Kansas Farm Kid and Ex-Ag Banker turned Entrepreneur focused on helping American Farmers and Ranchers build an organized, structured, and profitable operation that they can one day pass onto their children and grandchildren.  As an Ag Loan Officer where he realized that very few Farmers had the financial organization, structure, and systems in place that would help their farms survive and thrive for generations to come. Today, he works to help Farmers streamline the entire financial side of their operation so that they leave behind a profitable and sustainable Farm Operation

    • We are going to explore five common pitfalls family farm owners and operators make when running the farm, and if these five pitfalls go unchecked, the farm will certainly be on the path to failure.
    • What do you tell someone who says they can’t ever get away on vacation?
    • #1 – Micromanaging
    • Why is this such a big deal?
    • What can we do to do less of it? (provide clear expectations)
    • #2 – Be Centralized
    • What does this even mean?
    • What is the opposite?
    • #3 – Zero training
    • Is this just for employees?
    • Can you train the people and vendors you work with? – communication and expectations
    • What about family or spouses?
    • How do you train someone to answer they own questions or solve their own problems?
    • Don’t bring me a problem, bring me a solution
    • Allow them to make mistakes
    • #4 – No mission statement or core values
    • Do we really need this on a farm?  Banks have it, but really for a farm?
    • Why is this important?
    • How does this effect hiring?

    Chace Barber - CEO Edison Motors

    • Chace is a truck driver with 14 years of experience.
    • He ran his own trucking company started 5 years ago after university with a 1969 Kenworth. The trucking side of the company was shut down so that Chace & Eric could move to BC and focus on solar equipment manufacturing, production & installation.
    • Chace is co-founder of SEI, a solar installation company that designs & manufactures it’s own racking systems. The company manufactures several products for Finning.

    Who is Chace Barber?

    What is Edison Motors?

    These trucks are built and designed by truckers and mechanics for truckers and mechanics to be able to service. Edison Motors was started by truckers, for truckers. These are going to work hard but be easy to work on we want them to look great, be fun to drive, and last forever.

     

    • Diesel locomotive style hybrid - electric drive powertrain build for the logging/vocational industry
    • A diesel generator and batteries working together to power electric drives 
    • Better fuel mileage, lower maintenance costs, more power. 
    • NO MORE UGLY ELECTRIC TRUCKS
    • We’re manufacturing trucks for the logging and vocational industry

     

    Other team members?

    How are you going to accomplish a locomotive style semi tractor?

    Step 1 - 1962 LW-923 Proof of Concept

    We are currently building a proof of concept truck using a 1962 Kenworth. This will have a 3306 CAT diesel generator charging a battery bank, running a frame mounted electric drive motor into a traditional set of 46,000 rear ends

    Step 2 - Prototype

    with lessons learned from the 1962 proof of concept we will build the Edison truck

    This truck will integrate multiple electric drive motors. From lessons learned from our proof of concept, we will scale from one motor to e-axles (subject to part availability). 

    This fully built prototype will be made with the same parts used in the retrofit kits

    Step 3 - Retrofit kit

    Once all the kinks are ironed out and prototype is hard tested, we plan to offer the complete parts package to retrofit any classic truck - We believe it’s better to recycle an old truck then make something brand new.

    This will allow Edison Motors to start scaling up manufacturing without having to jump fully into building a new truck from the very start.

    Step 4 - Edison Locomotive

    This is where we start building Edison branded trucks. These are purpose build logging and vocational trucks, custom ordered to the specifications of the end user. 

    How is this project being funded?

    • There are currently 1590 Investors and Edison has raised over $389,000 to fund the building of the electric truck.

    If this project is successful, what does it mean for the future of the industry?

    What is the timeline of the project?

    Any other questions we should be asking you about this?

     

    Podcast – Blue Collar Interviews with Jordan Willey and Chace Barber. Interviewing guys and gals from the blue-collar work force.

     

    Any other hobbies?

     

    What is the best advice you have ever been given?

    A guide to understanding the business of farmland leases

    Importance of Leasing

    More than half of Iowa’s farmland is rented to tenant operators. 

    The trend over the past several decades has been for more of Iowa’s farmland to be leased rather than operated by its owners. In many cases, retired farmers or their heirs wish to continue to own farms, but do not want to operate them. 

    Leasing farmland involves a business agreement between the owner and the operator. 

    Reasons for Farm Leases

    Land is an expensive resource. A large capital investment is required to purchase enough land to provide the farm family an opportunity to earn a satisfactory living. 

    Many individuals or institutions that own land are looking for someone to farm it to provide a return on their investment as well as maintain its productivity. 

    Common Types of Leases

    The four most common types of leases used in Iowa are the fixed cash lease, the flexible cash lease, the crop share lease, and the custom farming contract. The common terms of these leases are described below.

    Fixed Cash Lease
    Under a fixed cash lease the tenant pays a given amount of cash rent per acre per year for the use of the farm resources. The tenant has a free rein in planning the crop and livestock production program on the farm unit, and receives all the crop and any associated USDA commodity program payments.

    Flexible Cash Lease
    A variation of the fixed cash lease is a flexible lease, in which the actual rent to be paid depends on the actual yields attained and/or the selling prices available during the lease period. This ensures that the rent paid is in line with the profitability of the crops grown that year..

    Crop Share Lease
    The distinguishing characteristic of a crop share lease is that the owner receives a share of the crop and USDA payments as a return for the land resources used. 

    The owner normally furnishes land and buildings and pays half of the costs of inputs such as fertilizer, seed, and pesticides when the crop is divided 50-50. Owners are usually responsible for drying, storing, and marketing their share of the crop, as well. The tenant usually furnishes all the labor, fuel, equipment, and the other half of the shared expenses. 

    Custom Farming Contract
    Under a custom farming contract the operator supplies all the labor and equipment needed to perform tillage, planting, pest control, harvesting and moving of crops to storage. The landowner pays all other expenses, and receives all the crop and any USDA payments. The custom operator receives a fixed payment per acre from the owner, or a fixed payment for each operation performed.

    Advantages and Disadvantages of Different Types of Leases

    All types of leases have advantages and disadvantages to each party. The tenant and owner should consider this before choosing the type of lease and the terms that should be incorporated in it.

    Fixed Cash Lease
    Advantages of a fixed cash lease:

    • The lease is simple with relatively few chances for misunderstanding.
    • The owner is relieved of making day-to-day operating decisions.
    • The owner has very little financial risk.
    • The tenant has maximum freedom in planning and developing the cropping and livestock programs.
    • The tenant has fewer records to keep when multiple landlords are involved.

    Disadvantages and potential problems of the fixed cash lease:

    • A fair cash rental rate may have to be renegotiated each year.
    • Cash rents are likely to be too low in times of rising prices and increasing yields, and too high in times of low prices or low yields.
    • Selling prices and production costs may be higher or lower than anticipated when the rental rate is set.
    • Tenants are required to supply more operating capital.
    • Tenants bear all the risk of production shortfalls.

    Flexible Cash Lease
    Advantages of a flexible cash lease:

    • The amount of rent to pay increases or decreases automatically from year-to-year as prices and yields change.
    • The need for the owner and tenant to renegotiate the rental rate each year is significantly reduced.

    Disadvantages and potential problems of the flexible cash lease:

    • Both parties must agree on a formula for setting the cash rent each year or every few years.
    • Both parties must agree on how to determine the prices and yields to include in the formula.
    • There is uncertainty about how much the tenant will pay and the owner will receive each year.

    Crop Share Lease
    Advantages of a crop share lease:

    • Risks associated with price and yield variations are shared.
    • The owner is more involved in making decisions and marketing the grain during the year.
    • Both parties share the benefits from adoption of yield-increasing technology, or unexpected high yields or prices.
    • The owner receives more information about yields and inputs used each year.
    • A second USDA payment limit is created.

    Disadvantages or potential problem areas of a crop share lease:

    • The landlord and tenant must agree on how production expenses will be shared.
    • Adjustments for sharing costs for storage and drying facilities, herbicides that reduce field work, or fertilizer and pesticide application may have to be made.
    • The cropping plan to be followed and whether or not the farm participates in government programs must be agreed on.
    • Added cash rent for the use of buildings and storage facilities may have to be negotiated.
    • If the owner’s and tenant’s grain is stored in the same bin, marketing decisions have to be made jointly.
    • The landowner may be considered a material participant, and farm income may be subject to self-employment taxation.

    Custom Farming Contract
    Advantages of a custom farming contract:

    • There is very little financial risk for the operator.
    • The owner benefits from any unexpected high prices, yields or government program payments.
    • Only one party is responsible for marketing grain and making production decisions.
    • Agreements are usually fairly simple to negotiate.

    Disadvantages and potential problems of custom farming contracts:

    • The owner bears all the risk of low yields or prices, or high input costs.
    • The number and timing of field operations to be done each year may have to be modified, depending on weather conditions.
    • The operator has to set priorities among the custom farmed land and other rented or owned land.
    • The owner must communicate to the custom operator the cropping system, fertility program, and type of pest control to be used.
    • Crop inputs such as seed, fertilizer and pesticides must be purchased and delivered in a timely manner.
    • The landowner may be considered a material participant, and farm income could be subject to self-employment taxation.

    Financing Improvements
    There are three ways to handle the costs of making permanent improvements to a farm property such as buildings, storage structures, conservation structures, fences, waterways, and drainage tile.

    1. The landlord provides the improvement as part of the rental agreement with an understanding that the rental rate will be increased as a result.
    2. The cost of the improvements is shared by the landlord and tenant in some form. If the improvement is constructed on the farm, the tenant may furnish labor and machinery for the job, and the owner may pay for materials. It is useful to negotiate a provision in the lease for the tenant to be reimbursed by the landlord for the undepreciated value of the improvements if the lease period ends before the useful life of the improvement is over.
    3. The entire cost of the improvements is paid by the tenant. As in Option 2, a provision for reimbursing the tenant for the undepreciated value of the investment is important.

    Setting the Length of Lease
    Many farm leases are in effect for only one year at a time. In fact, in Iowa oral leases cannot be valid for more than one year. However, an Iowa State University survey showed that 41% of cash rent leases and 68% of crop share agreements had been in effect between the same parties for more than 10 years. The maximum fixed term for a lease contract in Iowa is 20 years, but leases can be routinely renewed if both parties agree.

    Multi-year leases provide owners and operators with an incentive to invest in long-term improvements to the land and maintain soil fertility and conservation structures. They also avoid the uncertainty of building new relationships frequently. 

    Termination of a Farm Lease

    A farm lease automatically continues from year to year unless either party gives a written notice of termination separate from the lease. In Iowa, a lease termination notice must be properly served in writing by September 1, prior to the end of the lease year. This applies to both cash and crop share leases, but not to custom farming agreements. 

    Summary

    A good lease is the first step toward a satisfactory operating relationship between a landlord and a tenant. Although it is difficult to develop a lease that will provide for all possible situations, the parties should try to anticipate areas where problems could arise and include provisions in the lease to handle them. Only the parties involved can determine what is fair to each and what the final agreement should be. Many factors influence a leasing agreement, and each contract should be modified to fit the individual situation.

    Land is an expensive resource. A large capital investment is required to purchase enough land to provide the farm family an opportunity to earn a satisfactory living. 

    Many individuals or institutions that own land are looking for someone to farm it to provide a return on their investment as well as maintain its productivity. 

    Common Types of Leases

    The four most common types of leases used in Iowa are the fixed cash lease, the flexible cash lease, the crop share lease, and the custom farming contract. The common terms of these leases are described below.

    Fixed Cash Lease
    Under a fixed cash lease the tenant pays a given amount of cash rent per acre per year for the use of the farm resources. The tenant has a free rein in planning the crop and livestock production program on the farm unit, and receives all the crop and any associated USDA commodity program payments.

    Flexible Cash Lease
    A variation of the fixed cash lease is a flexible lease, in which the actual rent to be paid depends on the actual yields attained and/or the selling prices available during the lease period. This ensures that the rent paid is in line with the profitability of the crops grown that year..

    Crop Share Lease
    The distinguishing characteristic of a crop share lease is that the owner receives a share of the crop and USDA payments as a return for the land resources used. 

    The owner normally furnishes land and buildings and pays half of the costs of inputs such as fertilizer, seed, and pesticides when the crop is divided 50-50. Owners are usually responsible for drying, storing, and marketing their share of the crop, as well. The tenant usually furnishes all the labor, fuel, equipment, and the other half of the shared expenses. 

    Custom Farming Contract
    Under a custom farming contract the operator supplies all the labor and equipment needed to perform tillage, planting, pest control, harvesting and moving of crops to storage. The landowner pays all other expenses, and receives all the crop and any USDA payments. The custom operator receives a fixed payment per acre from the owner, or a fixed payment for each operation performed.

    Advantages and Disadvantages of Different Types of Leases

    All types of leases have advantages and disadvantages to each party. The tenant and owner should consider this before choosing the type of lease and the terms that should be incorporated in it.

    Fixed Cash Lease
    Advantages of a fixed cash lease:

    • The lease is simple with relatively few chances for misunderstanding.
    • The owner is relieved of making day-to-day operating decisions.
    • The owner has very little financial risk.
    • The tenant has maximum freedom in planning and developing the cropping and livestock programs.
    • The tenant has fewer records to keep when multiple landlords are involved.

    Disadvantages and potential problems of the fixed cash lease:

    • A fair cash rental rate may have to be renegotiated each year.
    • Cash rents are likely to be too low in times of rising prices and increasing yields, and too high in times of low prices or low yields.
    • Selling prices and production costs may be higher or lower than anticipated when the rental rate is set.
    • Tenants are required to supply more operating capital.
    • Tenants bear all the risk of production shortfalls.

    Flexible Cash Lease
    Advantages of a flexible cash lease:

    • The amount of rent to pay increases or decreases automatically from year-to-year as prices and yields change.
    • The need for the owner and tenant to renegotiate the rental rate each year is significantly reduced.

    Disadvantages and potential problems of the flexible cash lease:

    • Both parties must agree on a formula for setting the cash rent each year or every few years.
    • Both parties must agree on how to determine the prices and yields to include in the formula.
    • There is uncertainty about how much the tenant will pay and the owner will receive each year.

    Crop Share Lease
    Advantages of a crop share lease:

    • Risks associated with price and yield variations are shared.
    • The owner is more involved in making decisions and marketing the grain during the year.
    • Both parties share the benefits from adoption of yield-increasing technology, or unexpected high yields or prices.
    • The owner receives more information about yields and inputs used each year.
    • A second USDA payment limit is created.

    Disadvantages or potential problem areas of a crop share lease:

    • The landlord and tenant must agree on how production expenses will be shared.
    • Adjustments for sharing costs for storage and drying facilities, herbicides that reduce field work, or fertilizer and pesticide application may have to be made.
    • The cropping plan to be followed and whether or not the farm participates in government programs must be agreed on.
    • Added cash rent for the use of buildings and storage facilities may have to be negotiated.
    • If the owner’s and tenant’s grain is stored in the same bin, marketing decisions have to be made jointly.
    • The landowner may be considered a material participant, and farm income may be subject to self-employment taxation.

    Custom Farming Contract
    Advantages of a custom farming contract:

    • There is very little financial risk for the operator.
    • The owner benefits from any unexpected high prices, yields or government program payments.
    • Only one party is responsible for marketing grain and making production decisions.
    • Agreements are usually fairly simple to negotiate.

    Disadvantages and potential problems of custom farming contracts:

    • The owner bears all the risk of low yields or prices, or high input costs.
    • The number and timing of field operations to be done each year may have to be modified, depending on weather conditions.
    • The operator has to set priorities among the custom farmed land and other rented or owned land.
    • The owner must communicate to the custom operator the cropping system, fertility program, and type of pest control to be used.
    • Crop inputs such as seed, fertilizer and pesticides must be purchased and delivered in a timely manner.
    • The landowner may be considered a material participant, and farm income could be subject to self-employment taxation.

    Financing Improvements
    There are three ways to handle the costs of making permanent improvements to a farm property such as buildings, storage structures, conservation structures, fences, waterways, and drainage tile.

    1. The landlord provides the improvement as part of the rental agreement with an understanding that the rental rate will be increased as a result.
    2. The cost of the improvements is shared by the landlord and tenant in some form. If the improvement is constructed on the farm, the tenant may furnish labor and machinery for the job, and the owner may pay for materials. It is useful to negotiate a provision in the lease for the tenant to be reimbursed by the landlord for the undepreciated value of the improvements if the lease period ends before the useful life of the improvement is over.
    3. The entire cost of the improvements is paid by the tenant. As in Option 2, a provision for reimbursing the tenant for the undepreciated value of the investment is important.

    Setting the Length of Lease
    Many farm leases are in effect for only one year at a time. In fact, in Iowa oral leases cannot be valid for more than one year. However, an Iowa State University survey showed that 41% of cash rent leases and 68% of crop share agreements had been in effect between the same parties for more than 10 years. The maximum fixed term for a lease contract in Iowa is 20 years, but leases can be routinely renewed if both parties agree.

    Multi-year leases provide owners and operators with an incentive to invest in long-term improvements to the land and maintain soil fertility and conservation structures. They also avoid the uncertainty of building new relationships frequently. 

    Termination of a Farm Lease

    A farm lease automatically continues from year to year unless either party gives a written notice of termination separate from the lease. In Iowa, a lease termination notice must be properly served in writing by September 1, prior to the end of the lease year. This applies to both cash and crop share leases, but not to custom farming agreements. 

    Summary

    A good lease is the first step toward a satisfactory operating relationship between a landlord and a tenant. Although it is difficult to develop a lease that will provide for all possible situations, the parties should try to anticipate areas where problems could arise and include provisions in the lease to handle them. Only the parties involved can determine what is fair to each and what the final agreement should be. Many factors influence a leasing agreement, and each contract should be modified to fit the individual situation.

    5/16/22 – F4P – E181 – Farm4Fun with Zoe Kent

                It will all work out in the end.  Trust in yourself to continue the path and when you look back on it you’ll think it all worked out.

     

    5/16/22 – F4P – E76 – No Two Springs Alike with Bodie Kitchel, BW Fusion (Agronomy update)

    Never stop where you’re at today.  Keep your pursuit to always keep learning.  You would probably say “Everything!”  If you really knew all you know now – then – would you be complacent, lazy, and lose your drive?  Always be excited to keep learning.

     

    5/9/22 – F4F  - E169– Ryan Roossinck - Beer Money Pulling Team and TractorZoom

    I wish I had known it was ok to fail.  I wasted so much of my life and my opportunities, because I was striving for the perfect, instead of the good.  Life ain’t perfect and neither are you!  So stop wasting time trying to be perfect while opportunities pass you by.

     

    4/25/22 – F4F – F168 – New York Farm Girls! Evelyn (22), Claudia (19), JoJo (16)

    Evelyn – I wish I knew about this podcast.  I have a 30 minute commute to work every day, and this is going to be my new thing.

    Claudia – When you think of other people’s perception of you, and if you’re concerned what other people are thinking about you, you’re never going to truly live your best life.  Have confidence in yourself, and it will take you to big places! Just trust to be yourself!

    4/11/22 – F4F – E167 – Mike Schulte of the Pork Tornadoes

    Regarding jobs, careers, passions that aren’t traditional – whatever your passionate or care about, make it successful.  Be passionate because that means something.Put everything you can into it and figure it out. 

     

    3/28/22 – F4F – E166 – National Farm Machinery Show, Louisville, KY – Andy Paztor, a/k/a Andy Clean (no question)

                Quint – Still the more I learn, the less I know. 

     

    3/21/22 – F4P  - E72 – Steve Sukup, President and CEO, Sukup Manufacturing, Sheffield, IA – Leadership and Innovation 

    In business – should have stepped back sooner to get a better perspective. 

     

    3/14/22 – F4F – E165 – The Latina Farmer – Katherine Marcano-Bell

                  I should have listened to my mother-in-law.  Don’t be so eager to help out on the farm or please your

    husband.  You’ll have to drive something or help out more on the farm.  

    Momma Wanna (Dominican Republic drink ) A favorite food – MoFongo 

     

    3/7/22 – F4P –E71 – Commodity Turmoil – Todd Hultman of DTN – 

    On location - National Farm Machinery Show, Louisville, KY

                  WWIA – Bill Dickhut from Geringhoff

                  I learned to lower the weight of the fundamental assessments you hear from USDA or anyone else. The Market is the best indicator for trends and volatility.  The Market tells you.

     

    2/28/22 – F4F – E164- On location – The National Farm Machinery Show, Louisville, KY

                Kyle Zarate – Keep your circle small.  I would have ‘cherry-picked’ people better… I wish I had the knowledge I have now when I was younger, but honestly,I don’t think I would have change a lot.

    Loren – I would have had more kids! When they were little, we thought how much work they were and what a

    pain in the butt.  But after they got older, I wish I had 10! (Tractor – Deere Commander)

    Dalie – (being only 17 years old) Don’t be afraid to ask for help. (Tractor – Sibling Rivalry)

     

    2/21/22 – F4P – E70 – Avoiding a Repeat of the 80’s – David Widmar

                We need a framework for dealing with uncertainty.We live in a world full of uncertainty.No one teaches us how to quantify, navigate, or communicate through it.  We need to update our thinking.  Use a decision tool to network and be more disciplined through uncertainties. 

    It’s not the decisions you make in the bad years that cause trouble, it’s the one’s you make in the good years.

     

    2/14/22 – F4F – E163 – Valentine’s Day Power Couple – Steven & Melissa Pierce

                Steven – I wish I knew things could be done differently than the way dad or gpa did them.  Just because it’s

    always been done this way, doesn’t make it the best way.  Think outside the box and try different ways to 

    do things.

    Melissa – I wish the things that you stressed out about when you were younger, I shouldn’t have worried about

    them so much.Just do your best, and don’t stress.

     

    2/7/22 – F4P – E69 – Dr. Richard Smith – Where is the Inflation Taking Us?

                I wish I had realized how valuable our local lives are.

     

    1/31/22 – F4F – E162 –Randy Nessman – Master PipeLayer and Zach Johnson – Millennial Farmer 

                Jim McArthur/Randy Hammersmith (twin brother) guest zoom appearance-Zack Attack song

    Randy Nessman – Pipe is Life! (Dave interprets that as ‘don’t wait to make good decisions.’)

                

                HOSTS – Tanner – I wish I would have trusted myself in certain instances sooner than I did.  When you think

    something’s a good idea, just do it! (other guys feedback -But that probably has equal amount of times when

    you wish you hadn’t)

                Corey – I was gonna say something about women, but…. Instead, I wish I had bought bit coin at $100.00.

                Dave – I wish I wouldn’t have said something.  I should have bit my lip and bided my time! Apologize more. 

     

    1/17/2022 - F4F - E161 - J Lazy S Angus Ranch, Idaho - Chyenne Smith

                    I wish I had started sooner (in ranching).  We were worried about the financial burden.  Start small, and take a

                     chance.  Don't be afraid to try.  If you know it's what you want to do, just do it. The finances will work if you

                     have passion.  Be passionate, try, and don't give up!

     

    1/3/2022 - F4F - E160 - Tony Feed and friends - invited back 3 of the top 10 guests - 

                           Tony Reed, Huey B Cool, and Justin Danger Nunley

                Tony – The older I get, the smarter my dad was.I wouldn’t do that…and he was right.Listen to your dad.

                Justin – Don’t worry so much about what other people think.  I wish I wouldn’t have worried as long as I did

    about other people.Be unapologetically yourself!

    Huey – Things take time, but you have time!  Do more things in your life; you can always change courses.

     

    12/27/21 - F4P - E66 - Most Common Traits of Successful Farmers - Robert & Emily Sharkey

                2021 question - Emily - be the dumbest person in the room; surround yourself with people who inspire you and

                push you to be better; no time for nay sayers or negativity; don't let people bring you down.

                2022 question-Rob - Don't criticize yourself so much; focus on what you do well; be more confident;

     

    12/20/21 - F4F - E159 - Bushels & Barrels - Ryan Peter

                Never be afraid to fail.  Don't plan to fail, but "expect" to in some degree.  When you start a business, be ready

                to fail in some way; don't be afraid to try something new on a small scale, and be ready to take the idea 

                even bigger.

    5/16/22 – F4P – E181 – Farm4Fun with Zoe Kent

                It will all work out in the end.  Trust in yourself to continue the path and when you look back on it you’ll think it all worked out.

     

    5/16/22 – F4P – E76 – No Two Springs Alike with Bodie Kitchel, BW Fusion (Agronomy update)

    Never stop where you’re at today.  Keep your pursuit to always keep learning.  You would probably say “Everything!”  If you really knew all you know now – then – would you be complacent, lazy, and lose your drive?  Always be excited to keep learning.

     

    5/9/22 – F4F  - E169– Ryan Roossinck - Beer Money Pulling Team and TractorZoom

    I wish I had known it was ok to fail.  I wasted so much of my life and my opportunities, because I was striving for the perfect, instead of the good.  Life ain’t perfect and neither are you!  So stop wasting time trying to be perfect while opportunities pass you by.

     

    4/25/22 – F4F – F168 – New York Farm Girls! Evelyn (22), Claudia (19), JoJo (16)

    Evelyn – I wish I knew about this podcast.  I have a 30 minute commute to work every day, and this is going to be my new thing.

    Claudia – When you think of other people’s perception of you, and if you’re concerned what other people are thinking about you, you’re never going to truly live your best life.  Have confidence in yourself, and it will take you to big places! Just trust to be yourself!

    4/11/22 – F4F – E167 – Mike Schulte of the Pork Tornadoes

    Regarding jobs, careers, passions that aren’t traditional – whatever your passionate or care about, make it successful.  Be passionate because that means something.Put everything you can into it and figure it out. 

     

    3/28/22 – F4F – E166 – National Farm Machinery Show, Louisville, KY – Andy Paztor, a/k/a Andy Clean (no question)

                Quint – Still the more I learn, the less I know. 

     

    3/21/22 – F4P  - E72 – Steve Sukup, President and CEO, Sukup Manufacturing, Sheffield, IA – Leadership and Innovation 

    In business – should have stepped back sooner to get a better perspective. 

     

    3/14/22 – F4F – E165 – The Latina Farmer – Katherine Marcano-Bell

                  I should have listened to my mother-in-law.  Don’t be so eager to help out on the farm or please your

    husband.  You’ll have to drive something or help out more on the farm.  

    Momma Wanna (Dominican Republic drink ) A favorite food – MoFongo 

     

    3/7/22 – F4P –E71 – Commodity Turmoil – Todd Hultman of DTN – 

    On location - National Farm Machinery Show, Louisville, KY

                  WWIA – Bill Dickhut from Geringhoff

                  I learned to lower the weight of the fundamental assessments you hear from USDA or anyone else. The Market is the best indicator for trends and volatility.  The Market tells you.

     

    2/28/22 – F4F – E164- On location – The National Farm Machinery Show, Louisville, KY

                Kyle Zarate – Keep your circle small.  I would have ‘cherry-picked’ people better… I wish I had the knowledge I have now when I was younger, but honestly,I don’t think I would have change a lot.

    Loren – I would have had more kids! When they were little, we thought how much work they were and what a

    pain in the butt.  But after they got older, I wish I had 10! (Tractor – Deere Commander)

    Dalie – (being only 17 years old) Don’t be afraid to ask for help. (Tractor – Sibling Rivalry)

     

    2/21/22 – F4P – E70 – Avoiding a Repeat of the 80’s – David Widmar

                We need a framework for dealing with uncertainty.We live in a world full of uncertainty.No one teaches us how to quantify, navigate, or communicate through it.  We need to update our thinking.  Use a decision tool to network and be more disciplined through uncertainties. 

    It’s not the decisions you make in the bad years that cause trouble, it’s the one’s you make in the good years.

     

    2/14/22 – F4F – E163 – Valentine’s Day Power Couple – Steven & Melissa Pierce

                Steven – I wish I knew things could be done differently than the way dad or gpa did them.  Just because it’s

    always been done this way, doesn’t make it the best way.  Think outside the box and try different ways to 

    do things.

    Melissa – I wish the things that you stressed out about when you were younger, I shouldn’t have worried about

    them so much.Just do your best, and don’t stress.

                Jim McArthur/Randy Hammersmith (twin brother) guest zoom appearance-Zack Attack song

    Randy Nessman – Pipe is Life! (Dave interprets that as ‘don’t wait to make good decisions.’)

                

                HOSTS – Tanner – I wish I would have trusted myself in certain instances sooner than I did.  When you think

    something’s a good idea, just do it! (other guys feedback -But that probably has equal amount of times when

    you wish you hadn’t)

                Corey – I was gonna say something about women, but…. Instead, I wish I had bought bit coin at $100.00.

                Dave – I wish I wouldn’t have said something.  I should have bit my lip and bided my time! Apologize more. 

     

    1/17/2022 - F4F - E161 - J Lazy S Angus Ranch, Idaho - Chyenne Smith

                    I wish I had started sooner (in ranching).  We were worried about the financial burden.  Start small, and take a

                     chance.  Don't be afraid to try.  If you know it's what you want to do, just do it. The finances will work if you

                     have passion.  Be passionate, try, and don't give up!

     

    1/3/2022 - F4F - E160 - Tony Feed and friends - invited back 3 of the top 10 guests -

    about other people.Be unapologetically yourself!

    Huey – Things take time, but you have time!  Do more things in your life; you can always change courses.

     

    12/27/21 - F4P - E66 - Most Common Traits of Successful Farmers - Robert & Emily Sharkey

                2021 question - Emily - be the dumbest person in the room; surround yourself with people who inspire you and

                push you to be better; no time for nay sayers or negativity; don't let people bring you down.

                2022 question-Rob - Don't criticize yourself so much; focus on what you do well; be more confident;

     

    12/20/21 - F4F - E159 - Bushels & Barrels - Ryan Peter

                Never be afraid to fail.  Don't plan to fail, but "expect" to in some degree.  When you start a business, be ready

                to fail in some way; don't be afraid to try something new on a small scale, and be ready to take the idea 

                even bigger.

    Joel is a technology entrepreneur, and his wife is a veterinarian. They are avid RVers based out of Vail, Colorado. After hundreds of nights spent RVing through all 48 lower States, his biggest gripe was the lack of unique RV overnight experiences. They then joined Harvest Hosts, and after staying at incredible locations from wineries to alpaca farms, it changed their RV lives. In 2018 they purchased Harvest Hosts from the original founders, Don and Kim Greene.

     

    What is Harvest Hosts?

    • We are a network of wineries, breweries, distilleries, farms, and attractions that invite RVers to stay in 3007+ stunning camping sites. The $99 yearly membership gives members unlimited access to stay overnight at any one of our Host‘s locations. We kindly ask our members to support their Hosts by purchasing one of their local products with each stay!

    What are the requirements for joining the program

    • You must have a self-contained RV with a toilet, water tank and inside cooking facilities
    • No tents of any kind are allowed

    How does this help our listeners who own property make more profit or generate another source of income?

    • We encourage support of the Hosts you camp with! Think of how much your fabulous overnight is worth and use some of those camping costs savings to purchase wine or gifts from the gift shop.
    • We recommend spending a minimum of $20 to support your Host–that way everyone wins!

    What are other benefits to the land owners?

    • A unique and FREE marketing option? Our Host Location program at Harvest Hosts is a cost-free opportunity for hosts to share their offerings with our members by simply opening up space for an overnight stay. Our members spend millions of dollars each year while visiting Harvest Hosts locations.
    • Meet extraordinary and interesting RVers from around the world while increasing your business revenue one parking spot at a time!
    • HOST PAGE – Each Host has their own page on our website and members access this through the membership portal.
    • You can add pictures, video, and any information you want to tell our members about your business. It also includes links to your website and Facebook page. You can edit much of the information using your Host login to ensure accuracy of hours, products, and parking instructions. Every time a member looks up your state or province, your personal Host page will pop up so that members can learn more about you.
    • REVIEWS & REFERRALS – Harvest Host members can be your ambassadors of goodwill and help further promote your business. They can write reviews both on our website and on social media. Our community has a wonderful network and you will find that good news travels fast leading to more support for you!
    • NO SERVICES REQUIRED – Member vehicles are required to be self-contained. You do not need to provide electricity, water, sewage dump, or wi-fi. If you have any of those, that is a great bonus for our members, but they are not required.
    • COMPLIMENTARY MEMBERSHIP – We give all of our Hosts a free membership with full access to the Harvest Host website and membership benefits. If you have your own RV, you can visit other Hosts in your travels.

     

    What about concerns for hosts over the type of or quality of the guests coming to stay?

    • MEMBER CONTACT – Harvest Host members are able to secure their reservation via our Request-A-Stay system or by email/phone. Hosts are able to select their preferred form of communication and have the ability to approve the request. Our members know that they must always contact you ahead of time before showing up.
    • MEMBER VERIFICATION – Upon booking or arrival ask the member for their membership number or card. They can give you a printed card or show it to you on a mobile device. Through your Host login, you are able to run their member number to see the current status of their membership.
    • MEMBER ARRIVAL – We suggest using a sign-in sheet or writing this information down to keep track of your visitors. Direct the members to where you want them to park and tell them a little bit about your business.

    Guest - Sean Ferbrache - Chief Operating Officer - Officer at American Hunting Lease Association

    Sean is the Chief Operating Officer for the American Hunting Lease Association and has served in that role for over 8 years. The AHLA is the trade association for the hunting lease industry and advocates for recreational access to private land all over.  He also worked in Indiana as an agent for Base Camp Leasing helping hunters secure access to private farms.  Sean hunts/fishes in multiple states every year on both private and public ground and regularly advises landowners on methods to improve the land ownership experience and hopefully add some revenue at the same time.             

    Prior to leading the AHLA, he was a career Indianapolis firefighter for 26 years. Sean and his wife live in Indianapolis and spend as much time as possible outside hiking, camping and traveling.

     

    Who is Base Camp Leasing?

    • Base Camp Leasing was founded by Steve Meng, an accomplished whitetail deer hunter and former grain industry professional. Steve took his passion for hunting and turned it into a career. Personally experiencing discouragement in the lack of accessibility to private hunting property, Steve was motivated to develop a mutually beneficial business model to serve both landowners and hunters alike. Established in 1999, Base Camp Leasing has led the way in the hunting lease industry and continues to expand to new states every year.
    • Whether you are a landowner looking into leasing your hunting property, or a hunter looking to lease a property, our administrative staff is here to help you. We understand the need to be able to pick up the phone and call someone to ask questions, so don’t hesitate to reach out to one of our knowledgeable team members.
    • Many landowners are realizing the value of leasing hunting rights to their land for an additional income stream and property security.  This exclusive access has tremendous value, but does require some effort on the landowners part as well as some added responsibility.  All which can be accounted for with a simple liability policy.
    • There are resources for hunters and landowners that they need to safely and successfully gain/grant access to private land.  
    • Liability programs for private Hunt Clubs Guides and Outfitters and Landowners of vacant land make it possible for hunters and others to enjoy not just the great sport of hunting, but all other types of recreational activities as well. All this while providing landowners with security, confidence and peace of mind.
    • Even though hunting is one of the safest activities Americans take part in, there are invariably accidents that occur. Some of the events hunters may need protection from:  Liability from the use of atv’s and tree stands, fire damage liability (in case of an accidental fire that damages property), medical expenses for unexpected injuries (stepping into an unmarked well or hole)
    • Vacant or undeveloped land may leave you open to unnecessary risks and liability.  It doesn’t matter if the guest was invited or a trespasser.  If someone gets injured on your property and they pursue legal action, you could be forced to pay legal fees and medical bills.
    • Benefits to leasing out your land – Reduce crop damage, reduce trespassing and poaching, avoid confrontation with family and friends on who gets to hunt your property.

     

    • Where does base camp operate mostly?

     

    • Can any land owner participate or are there requirements?

     

    • What does a typical hunting lease look like?

     

    • When does the lease start?

     

    • How is the price determined on a property?

     

    • Do I get to meet the hunters on my property?

     

    • Is there any out-of-pocket cost to the landowner?

     

    • Who is responsible for posting the property available for lease?

     

    • Can I still access my property after it is leased?

     

    • Can the hunters bring guests on my property?

     

    • How do I terminate a lease with Base Camp Leasing?

     

    • Do hunters have to bid on the lease for next year?

    Al Zeitz - Manager of Renewable Energy Services at Iowa Lakes Electric Cooperative

     

    Al has a career of experience working in the wind and solar industry, let’s have us tell us about the various positions he has held.

    Guest - Sean Ferbrache - Chief Operating Officer - Officer at American Hunting Lease Association

    Sean is the Chief Operating Officer for the American Hunting Lease Association and has served in that role for over 8 years. The AHLA is the trade association for the hunting lease industry and advocates for recreational access to private land all over.  He also worked in Indiana as an agent for Base Camp Leasing helping hunters secure access to private farms.  Sean hunts/fishes in multiple states every year on both private and public ground and regularly advises landowners on methods to improve the land ownership experience and hopefully add some revenue at the same time.             

    Prior to leading the AHLA, he was a career Indianapolis firefighter for 26 years. Sean and his wife live in Indianapolis and spend as much time as possible outside hiking, camping and traveling.

     

    Who is Base Camp Leasing?

    • Base Camp Leasing was founded by Steve Meng, an accomplished whitetail deer hunter and former grain industry professional. Steve took his passion for hunting and turned it into a career. Personally experiencing discouragement in the lack of accessibility to private hunting property, Steve was motivated to develop a mutually beneficial business model to serve both landowners and hunters alike. Established in 1999, Base Camp Leasing has led the way in the hunting lease industry and continues to expand to new states every year.
    • Whether you are a landowner looking into leasing your hunting property, or a hunter looking to lease a property, our administrative staff is here to help you. We understand the need to be able to pick up the phone and call someone to ask questions, so don’t hesitate to reach out to one of our knowledgeable team members.
    • Many landowners are realizing the value of leasing hunting rights to their land for an additional income stream and property security.  This exclusive access has tremendous value, but does require some effort on the landowners part as well as some added responsibility.  All which can be accounted for with a simple liability policy.
    • There are resources for hunters and landowners that they need to safely and successfully gain/grant access to private land.  
    • Liability programs for private Hunt Clubs Guides and Outfitters and Landowners of vacant land make it possible for hunters and others to enjoy not just the great sport of hunting, but all other types of recreational activities as well. All this while providing landowners with security, confidence and peace of mind.
    • Even though hunting is one of the safest activities Americans take part in, there are invariably accidents that occur. Some of the events hunters may need protection from:  Liability from the use of atv’s and tree stands, fire damage liability (in case of an accidental fire that damages property), medical expenses for unexpected injuries (stepping into an unmarked well or hole)
    • Vacant or undeveloped land may leave you open to unnecessary risks and liability.  It doesn’t matter if the guest was invited or a trespasser.  If someone gets injured on your property and they pursue legal action, you could be forced to pay legal fees and medical bills.
    • Benefits to leasing out your land – Reduce crop damage, reduce trespassing and poaching, avoid confrontation with family and friends on who gets to hunt your property.

     

    • Where does base camp operate mostly?

     

    • Can any land owner participate or are there requirements?

    • When does the lease start?

    • Do I get to meet the hunters on my property?

     

    • Is there any out-of-pocket cost to the landowner?

     

    • Who is responsible for posting the property available for lease?

     

    • Can I still access my property after it is leased?

     

    • Can the hunters bring guests on my property?

     

    • How do I terminate a lease with Base Camp Leasing?

     

    • Do hunters have to bid on the lease for next year?

    • Advancements in Sprayer Technology

    • Sam Wilson, technology sales specialist with Ag Leader

    Right Spot by Ag LeaderYour Nozzle-by-Nozzle Advantage.

    • Right coverage across the entire field
    • Consistency is a priority, speed is a bonus.

     

    RightSpot Features

    • Nozzle-by-Nozzle Control
    • Instant nozzle by nozzle swath control. Up to 144 nozzles supported.
    • Consistent Coverage Across Any Terrain
    • Flow rate and pressure are controlled independently, allowing for a consistent rate across a variety of conditions.
    • How does this effect a listener’s profitability?
    • Increased Productivity and Speed
    • Speed up or slow down, accurate at a wider range of speed.
    • Industry Leading Visibility
    • Visibility in and out of the cab and year-round control with InCommand.

     

    When it Comes to Application, Be InCommand

    • AutoSwath
    • Reduces overapplication and product waste by automatically turning the applicator on/off based on field boundaries and already-applied areas as it passes over the field. Control up to 144 individual nozzles for finite control over where you are applying product.
    • Monitor Droplet Size On-Screen​
    • Ensure products are applied at recommended droplet size. Settings from ultracourse to extremely fine so operators can dial in application to nozzles ideal range.​
    •      Inconsistent droplet size = coverage issues
    • Without nozzle-by-nozzle technology, achieving consistent coverage across the entire field is difficult. RightSpot monitors and maintains the right droplet size prescribed for the product, ensuring the right amount of product applied to do its job effectively while reducing risk of drift to neighboring crops. 
    • RightSpot uses blended pulse technology to achieve consistent coverage and reduced skips. Pulsing nozzles maintain a precise user-defined boom pressure allowing the operator to achieve a consistent rate and droplet size at a wider variety of speeds and across difficult terrain.
    • Proper Rate in all Scenarios​​
    • Pressure gauge right on the run screen paired with the pressure fallback features, allowing it to spray more accurately in low flow rate scenarios. Achieve proper plant coverage at all flow rates, period.​
    • Easy Reporting​
    • Automatically generate SmartReports that provide location, product information, applied totals, as-applied maps and more right from the display.

    How coverage is affected by speed​

    No field is the same. Regardless, of the field applying at just one speed doesn’t feel quite right. There may be some challenging areas where you feel more comfortable slowing down. In open areas you may want to cover more ground faster.
    RightSpot

    RightSpot makes operating the sprayer less stressful. Flow rate and pressure are controlled independently, enabling you to apply at a comfortable speed for your field conditions while maintaining desired rate and droplet size consistently. It gives you the power to get the job done more efficiently and effectively – speed up in open areas or slow down when difficult terrain calls for it.

     

    Can right spot be added to my current sprayer?

     

    If we can’t afford new what are some things we should be paying attention to on our current sprayers to minimize down time?

     

    Anything else you’d like to share?

     

    What do you know now that you wish you would have known sooner?

    David Webster’s

    • Tillage Segment (Salford)---What’s new and available for producers to get excited about this Spring?
    • At Salford Group, we are committed to improving the economics of farming with the best available solutions in tillage and application.  When producers invest in a Salford Group product, they know they’re getting durability, versatility, and precision to take their operations to next-level performance.
    • Salford Group is a global leader in the manufacturing of tillage and precision application equipment, with facilities in Iowa, Georgia, Ontario, Manitoba, and Russia. The company dedicates its ongoing innovation efforts to precision, durability and versatility in the field, while improving the economics of farming for producers worldwide
    • What are some of the latest advancements in tillage equipment for seed bed preparation?

    We launched a new series of high-speed tillage tools over the last two years and seed bed preparation was key in our design focus from the beginning.  For example, we optimized the blade angle and spacing between the rows of coulters on the HALO HSD (our compact disk variant of the HALO) to optimize soil flow for more even distribution.  We also worked hard to eliminate a common problem seen with compact disks, which is “porpoising”.  This is a phenomenon that occurs in tougher soil conditions where the front coulters begin to lift out of the ground at higher speed and them re-engage, causing the tool to oscillate similar to how a porpoise swims in the water.  Obviously, this leaves an undesirable condition for seeding, so it was important for use to resolve it.  Without revealing our secrets too much, we paid close attention to the manner in which we applied down pressure.  It took a lot of testing, but we are confident we have one of the best high-speed disks on the market for sed bed preparation.

    We also introduced a new finishing system for the HALO series this past year, which is a double rolling basket system.  We really like to leveling job this system does.  It’s a pair of 14” diameter rolling baskets with opposing helixes on a walking axle.  The down pressure can be adjusted from the cab of the tractor.  We were surprise at just how versatile this setup is in a lot of different soil types and conditions.  It is optimal for seed bed preparation.

    We also have the new HALO VRT.  This is our most advanced tillage tool to date and really is the year-round tillage solution many of our customers have been seeking.  In terms of seed bed preparation it can do it all.  You can adjust the angle of the rows of independently mount coulters on the fly.  Therefore it running a minimum tillage past ahead of the planter and want to level out some ruts from last fall, you can adjust the coulter angles on the fly to a more aggressive position to level ruts in the same pass.  It brings a new level of precision to tillage and we’re very excited about it.

    Finally, our Independent Series line of tools continue to be great options, especially with dealing with high levels of residue and moist conditions because of the greater area around each individual coulter.  We’ve had customers run tools like the I-1200 or I-2200 (true vertical tillage models) in the fall and not need a tillage pass in the spring.  The independent coulters work much better than a traditional gang in maintaining tillage depth across the tillage swath.  The I-4200, a hybrid tillage model that mixes concave coulters with wavy VT coulters to provide a little more lateral soil movement to provide more leveling action.  This product has been a go-to for seedbed preparation for many of our customers.

    Vertical Tillage – “Independent Series”

    • High Speed Tillage – “Halo + Enforcer”
    • Adjustable High Speed Tillage – HALO VRT
    • Technology in tillage equipment
    • Adjustments on the go?
    • Prescriptions?

    It is becoming more likely that tillage will join the precision space as we learn to leverage the field data we’re collecting.  The application of tillage plays such an integral role in cop production that it seems absurd that it isn’t managed in the same way as nutrient application or crop protection.  Like both of these operations, tillage – when over applied, can have a detrimental effect, so it will be important long-term to find ways to apply it on an as need basis within the field.  We have been preparing for this for years by building several system with on-the-fly capability, whether it be our hydraulic engaging tillage shanks on our Independent series, hydraulically adjustable finishing systems, and now, the fully adjustable HALO VRT.

    • Accuracy
    • Benefits of added technology?

    Like with prescription application, there are benefits to not over applying tillage in the field.  For one thing if you only require more aggressive tillage in some sections of your field due to ruts or compactions zones, you can reduce fuel consumption by adjusting to a lighter setting on the fly.  This of course saves time as you don’t have to stop and manual set the machine to accomplish this.  The high speed also increases the acres per hour on the tool, which can not only increase the productivity of the tool itself, but also avoids creating a bottle neck that can slow down the seeding operation in the spring.

    What is harder to measure is the benefits brought to the stewardship of the land.  By now, it is clear that good management of the soil structure and ecosystem is crucial to the long term production capacity of the land.  We’ve all seen how overapplication of tillage can result in soil erosion and depletion.  It can also offset the benefit of prescription nutrient application by mobilizing and type of controlled release nutrient.  Therefore, it needs to be integrated into how he execute precision agriculture in order for us to see its full benefit.

    • Alright, maybe we can’t go out and buy new.  What should we be thinking about to get our tillage tools ready for Spring?
    • Bearings, sweeps, common wear points?

    Yes – you should be checking this every season.  We have a very robust bearing in our coulters, both for the independent series and for the HALO.   The HALO’s use greaseless hubs while the Independent Series use greaseable hubs.  Truthfully, a well greases independent series hub will go on for a very long time before needing replacement.  We would have gone this direction with the HALO as well, however, the compact frame design made hub access difficult so we went with the greaseless setup instead.  Its always a good idea each season to check for play in the hubs.

    Check your blades as well.  Remember that wavy VT blades lose their effectiveness when worn down to a certain diameter.  We like to tell customers to replace when those blades are about 80-85% of their original diameter to keep the blades effective.

    • What does parts availability look like?
    • Industry wide

    Its no secret there are supply issues out there.  This has almost created a situation similar to the toilet paper panic buying at the beginning of COVID.  The same is going on with parts with many manufacturers hoarding with the intent to have enough parts on hand.  It’s created a challenge

    • With Salford

    We are definitely carrying more inventory than usual, however we have not needed to be too excessive.  We treat our suppliers well and those relationships have helped us.  While there are some shortages of certain sizes of tires and some electronic components, overall we are very robust.  We don’t intent to leave a customer down in the field this spring.

    • What’s next? – What have you seen coming down the pipe?

    We’re seeing a major transition in ag as we speak.  Autonomy, electrification, precision.  The trend of producer adoption in the coming years will continue.  We believe we are well positioned for this as it evolves.

    As equipment manufacturers, you have to be ready for the big disruptions.  We’re always watching developments in genetics, or chemistry that my give growers a new edge, perhaps one that eliminates the need for a certain operation on the farm.  But if you stay on top of the industry and look out into that 5-10 year window you can pivot and adapt.  Salford has always been very good at this.  It’s said internally that we want to be the ones to obsolete our own products.

     

     

    • For a culture that is working to award farmers for no-til or minimum tillage operations through carbon credits….what makes it still necessary?

    As long as you’re operating machinery in the field, tillage is always going to be needed to some degree.  Ruts, compaction, pivot tracks from irrigation – these can’t be eliminated without some tillage.  As we mentioned, tillage will become a matter of precise application rather than a one-practice-fits-all operation.  Organics and herbicide resistance are also factors.  Crop production requires you to constantly adapt to a new set of variables with every growing season.  Our products will continue to adapt as well.

    • Let’s venture away from tillage a bit and into an area of increased focus for 2022 and that is the precise application of very expenses fertilizer.
    • What does Salford offer in the realm of fert application? We actually offer on of if not the most complete line of applicators in the industry. Ranging from the BBI Spreader line with capabilities with Lime, fertilizer and litter in - and chassis mount configurations as well as the Valmar Airflo products capable of handling fertilizer, granular herbicide, cover crops, and micro-nutrients, in configurations that range from pull-type to chassis mount and tillage tool to planter and dedicated granular herbicide or cover crop machines. Now this might sounds like a wide range of products, if you are going to serve the North American market you need a product range that will fit the agronomic needs of the different regions across both the United States and Canada.  Could probably expand on one or two products here. 
    • Apply right by Salford – Precision technology for serious applicators
    • Topper Spreader
    • Air Booms
    • AirFlo
    • Pathfinder
    • What technology has changed or evolved in fertilizer application? Both the environment and technology have changed.  From an environmental side are seeing some micro-nutrient availability impacted  - Sulfur as an example was available through emissions from manufacturing facilities, but with emissions from different sources being cleaned up we are needing to supplement the requirement in in a crop nutrition plan. Both macro and micro nutrients are being impacted by nationalization or globalization in some cases of the production cycle….many years ago we would see farming operations that were a mixed farming operation dealing in crop and protein or animal production…..thus you would have the manure, with all its nutrients be applied back to the land.  Now operations tend to be more focused, specialized and larger, whether they are growing crops, livestock, or other forms of protein. We can see feedstock move hundreds to thousands of miles…..and all the nutrients move along with it. This to some degree has created the need for more prescriptive agriculture and more supplemental nutrition, including a number of micro-nutrients for growers to hit their yield goals.  We also have seen movement towards improving sustainability, with increased ability to apply multiple products at variable rate as well as movement in split rate applications in some cases.  We continue to see increasing demand for higher resolution for prescriptive applications as costs rise and pressure for environmental stewardship increase.  We have also seen fertilizer come of the drill or planter in an effort to increase the growing days available by increasing the productivity of the planting operation. This means we have had to increase the productivity of our applicators as well – the 9620, and 6700 are two examples where advancement has increased productivity.  Booms – rate capabilities – capacity – etc. 
    • Can these products also be used for seeding or with cover crops? We definitely have a wide range of products in the line up that are capable of seeding cover crop, whether it is a system mounted on a heavy harrow, tillage tool or self-propelled chassis. There are growers and retailers that are sold on the value of cover crops and the ability of the cover crop to improve soil health, hold nutrients and limit erosion.  In areas we see government programs driving some of the interest in cover crop application, but the expectation is that the supplemental support can be backed away as the value of cover crop seeding can be quantified.
    • What do you see your top producing or top tier of clients doing? There are a group of customers that are always trying something new….not on a large scale but always experimenting….always looking for an edge to understand what works in their conditions. While many look to educate themselves on the latest trend there are a select few that look to run small trials in their own operation. They look to understand the impact before implementing on a field or full farm basis.

    David Webster’s

    • Tillage Segment (Salford)---What’s new and available for producers to get excited about this Spring?
    • At Salford Group, we are committed to improving the economics of farming with the best available solutions in tillage and application.  When producers invest in a Salford Group product, they know they’re getting durability, versatility, and precision to take their operations to next-level performance.
    • Salford Group is a global leader in the manufacturing of tillage and precision application equipment, with facilities in Iowa, Georgia, Ontario, Manitoba, and Russia. The company dedicates its ongoing innovation efforts to precision, durability and versatility in the field, while improving the economics of farming for producers worldwide
    • What are some of the latest advancements in tillage equipment for seed bed preparation?

    We launched a new series of high-speed tillage tools over the last two years and seed bed preparation was key in our design focus from the beginning.  For example, we optimized the blade angle and spacing between the rows of coulters on the HALO HSD (our compact disk variant of the HALO) to optimize soil flow for more even distribution.  We also worked hard to eliminate a common problem seen with compact disks, which is “porpoising”.  This is a phenomenon that occurs in tougher soil conditions where the front coulters begin to lift out of the ground at higher speed and them re-engage, causing the tool to oscillate similar to how a porpoise swims in the water.  Obviously, this leaves an undesirable condition for seeding, so it was important for use to resolve it.  Without revealing our secrets too much, we paid close attention to the manner in which we applied down pressure.  It took a lot of testing, but we are confident we have one of the best high-speed disks on the market for sed bed preparation.

    We also introduced a new finishing system for the HALO series this past year, which is a double rolling basket system.  We really like to leveling job this system does.  It’s a pair of 14” diameter rolling baskets with opposing helixes on a walking axle.  The down pressure can be adjusted from the cab of the tractor.  We were surprise at just how versatile this setup is in a lot of different soil types and conditions.  It is optimal for seed bed preparation.

    We also have the new HALO VRT.  This is our most advanced tillage tool to date and really is the year-round tillage solution many of our customers have been seeking.  In terms of seed bed preparation it can do it all.  You can adjust the angle of the rows of independently mount coulters on the fly.  Therefore it running a minimum tillage past ahead of the planter and want to level out some ruts from last fall, you can adjust the coulter angles on the fly to a more aggressive position to level ruts in the same pass.  It brings a new level of precision to tillage and we’re very excited about it.

    Finally, our Independent Series line of tools continue to be great options, especially with dealing with high levels of residue and moist conditions because of the greater area around each individual coulter.  We’ve had customers run tools like the I-1200 or I-2200 (true vertical tillage models) in the fall and not need a tillage pass in the spring.  The independent coulters work much better than a traditional gang in maintaining tillage depth across the tillage swath.  The I-4200, a hybrid tillage model that mixes concave coulters with wavy VT coulters to provide a little more lateral soil movement to provide more leveling action.  This product has been a go-to for seedbed preparation for many of our customers.

    Vertical Tillage – “Independent Series”

    • High Speed Tillage – “Halo + Enforcer”
    • Adjustable High Speed Tillage – HALO VRT
    • Technology in tillage equipment
    • Adjustments on the go?
    • Prescriptions?

    It is becoming more likely that tillage will join the precision space as we learn to leverage the field data we’re collecting.  The application of tillage plays such an integral role in cop production that it seems absurd that it isn’t managed in the same way as nutrient application or crop protection.  Like both of these operations, tillage – when over applied, can have a detrimental effect, so it will be important long-term to find ways to apply it on an as need basis within the field.  We have been preparing for this for years by building several system with on-the-fly capability, whether it be our hydraulic engaging tillage shanks on our Independent series, hydraulically adjustable finishing systems, and now, the fully adjustable HALO VRT.

    • Accuracy
    • Benefits of added technology?

    Like with prescription application, there are benefits to not over applying tillage in the field.  For one thing if you only require more aggressive tillage in some sections of your field due to ruts or compactions zones, you can reduce fuel consumption by adjusting to a lighter setting on the fly.  This of course saves time as you don’t have to stop and manual set the machine to accomplish this.  The high speed also increases the acres per hour on the tool, which can not only increase the productivity of the tool itself, but also avoids creating a bottle neck that can slow down the seeding operation in the spring.

    What is harder to measure is the benefits brought to the stewardship of the land.  By now, it is clear that good management of the soil structure and ecosystem is crucial to the long term production capacity of the land.  We’ve all seen how overapplication of tillage can result in soil erosion and depletion.  It can also offset the benefit of prescription nutrient application by mobilizing and type of controlled release nutrient.  Therefore, it needs to be integrated into how he execute precision agriculture in order for us to see its full benefit.

    • Alright, maybe we can’t go out and buy new.  What should we be thinking about to get our tillage tools ready for Spring?
    • Bearings, sweeps, common wear points?

    Yes – you should be checking this every season.  We have a very robust bearing in our coulters, both for the independent series and for the HALO.   The HALO’s use greaseless hubs while the Independent Series use greaseable hubs.  Truthfully, a well greases independent series hub will go on for a very long time before needing replacement.  We would have gone this direction with the HALO as well, however, the compact frame design made hub access difficult so we went with the greaseless setup instead.  Its always a good idea each season to check for play in the hubs.

    Check your blades as well.  Remember that wavy VT blades lose their effectiveness when worn down to a certain diameter.  We like to tell customers to replace when those blades are about 80-85% of their original diameter to keep the blades effective.

    • What does parts availability look like?
    • Industry wide

    Its no secret there are supply issues out there.  This has almost created a situation similar to the toilet paper panic buying at the beginning of COVID.  The same is going on with parts with many manufacturers hoarding with the intent to have enough parts on hand.  It’s created a challenge

    • With Salford

    We are definitely carrying more inventory than usual, however we have not needed to be too excessive.  We treat our suppliers well and those relationships have helped us.  While there are some shortages of certain sizes of tires and some electronic components, overall we are very robust.  We don’t intent to leave a customer down in the field this spring.

    • What’s next? – What have you seen coming down the pipe?

    We’re seeing a major transition in ag as we speak.  Autonomy, electrification, precision.  The trend of producer adoption in the coming years will continue.  We believe we are well positioned for this as it evolves.

    As equipment manufacturers, you have to be ready for the big disruptions.  We’re always watching developments in genetics, or chemistry that my give growers a new edge, perhaps one that eliminates the need for a certain operation on the farm.  But if you stay on top of the industry and look out into that 5-10 year window you can pivot and adapt.  Salford has always been very good at this.  It’s said internally that we want to be the ones to obsolete our own products.

     

     

    • For a culture that is working to award farmers for no-til or minimum tillage operations through carbon credits….what makes it still necessary?

    As long as you’re operating machinery in the field, tillage is always going to be needed to some degree.  Ruts, compaction, pivot tracks from irrigation – these can’t be eliminated without some tillage.  As we mentioned, tillage will become a matter of precise application rather than a one-practice-fits-all operation.  Organics and herbicide resistance are also factors.  Crop production requires you to constantly adapt to a new set of variables with every growing season.  Our products will continue to adapt as well.

    • Let’s venture away from tillage a bit and into an area of increased focus for 2022 and that is the precise application of very expenses fertilizer.
    • What does Salford offer in the realm of fert application? We actually offer on of if not the most complete line of applicators in the industry. Ranging from the BBI Spreader line with capabilities with Lime, fertilizer and litter in - and chassis mount configurations as well as the Valmar Airflo products capable of handling fertilizer, granular herbicide, cover crops, and micro-nutrients, in configurations that range from pull-type to chassis mount and tillage tool to planter and dedicated granular herbicide or cover crop machines. Now this might sounds like a wide range of products, if you are going to serve the North American market you need a product range that will fit the agronomic needs of the different regions across both the United States and Canada.  Could probably expand on one or two products here. 
    • Apply right by Salford – Precision technology for serious applicators
    • Topper Spreader
    • Air Booms
    • AirFlo
    • Pathfinder
    • What technology has changed or evolved in fertilizer application? Both the environment and technology have changed.  From an environmental side are seeing some micro-nutrient availability impacted  - Sulfur as an example was available through emissions from manufacturing facilities, but with emissions from different sources being cleaned up we are needing to supplement the requirement in in a crop nutrition plan. Both macro and micro nutrients are being impacted by nationalization or globalization in some cases of the production cycle….many years ago we would see farming operations that were a mixed farming operation dealing in crop and protein or animal production…..thus you would have the manure, with all its nutrients be applied back to the land.  Now operations tend to be more focused, specialized and larger, whether they are growing crops, livestock, or other forms of protein. We can see feedstock move hundreds to thousands of miles…..and all the nutrients move along with it.

Sukup  was born in Sheffield, Iowa and attended the Iowa State University  with a degree in Industrial Engineering.  A Republican, he served in the Iowa House of Representatives from 1995 to 2003  for Iowa’s 18th district.  Steve is now the President and CEO of Sukup Manufacturing.

     

    We don’t get to interview very many guests that have their own Wikipedia page!

    Our goal in the conversation today is to help provide insights to our listeners on how they can become better leaders to help them grow and ultimately leader to higher farm or business profitability.

    Let’s first roll through a little of the Sukup History – Giving us a starting Point for perspective on this conversation:

    Eugene Sukup, a young farmer, found drying to be slow, and pockets of grain began to overheat and spoil. 

    Eugene began making the stirring augers and he patented the idea for the Stirway® stirring machine, and Eugene and Mary Sukup founded Sukup Manufacturing Co. in 1963. Sukup continued to expand the company to include a full line of grain handling products, including dryers in 1998. 

    (Nearly 60 years in the grain bin industry as family owned)

    After serving as the President of his company for 32 years, Eugene Sukup turned over the position to his son, Charles, in 1995. His son Steve served as the company Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Steve also served in the Iowa Legislature from 1994-2002 and was Speaker Pro Tem of the Iowa House of Representatives.

    What did you learn about yourself to balance your responsibilities as an elected official and the family business day to day responsibilities?

    What were some key things you learned about your state during your time as a representative?

    Eugene held the role of Chairman of the Board, and was active in the business until passing away in July 2018.

    In 2001, Sukup took a significant step and began manufacturing the grain bins themselves providing a “one stop shop” for grain storage and handling needs, and becoming an innovation leader in the bin industry with multiple patented features.

    On February 1, 2020, Charles Sukup transitioned to Chairman of the Board, and Steve Sukup assumed the role of President and CEO. Much of the family is involved in the company.

    What about having family involved in the success of Sukup makes them even more special?

    Q: WHAT IS THE BEST ADVICE YOU’VE EVER BEEN GIVEN?

    A: I like to say that moving targets are harder to hit. So as long as you’re making progress, moving forward, make sure you have good information, make a decision, and then work hard to make it a success.

    Q: YOUR FAMILY IS ON A FIRST-NAME BASIS WITH MANY PEOPLE IN THE STATE AND ACROSS THE INDUSTRY. YOU’VE BEEN GENEROUS IN SHEFFIELD, AT IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY, AND AROUND THE WORLD. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO YOU?

    We enjoy our community. Iowa has been good to us. It’s a great place. I think I’m up to 42 states, and I’ve visited 31 countries, but I live in Iowa by choice and I enjoy it. It’s a great place with friendly people, and everybody’s interactive with each other.

    ]]>     Mon, 21 Mar 2022 10:30:00 +0000 farm4profitllc@gmail.com (Kelly Garrett, Steve Sukup, Tanner Winterhof, David Whitaker, Corey Hillebo) https://intro-to-farm4profit.simplecast.com/episodes/leadership-and-innovation-with-steve-sukup-pwnw4VDK Steven E. Sukup  was born in Sheffield, Iowa and attended the Iowa State University  with a degree in Industrial Engineering.  A Republican, he served in the Iowa House of Representatives from 1995 to 2003  for Iowa’s 18th district.  Steve is now the President and CEO of Sukup Manufacturing.

     

    We don’t get to interview very many guests that have their own Wikipedia page!

    Our goal in the conversation today is to help provide insights to our listeners on how they can become better leaders to help them grow and ultimately leader to higher farm or business profitability.

    Let’s first roll through a little of the Sukup History – Giving us a starting Point for perspective on this conversation:

    Eugene Sukup, a young farmer, found drying to be slow, and pockets of grain began to overheat and spoil. 

    Eugene began making the stirring augers and he patented the idea for the Stirway® stirring machine, and Eugene and Mary Sukup founded Sukup Manufacturing Co. in 1963. Sukup continued to expand the company to include a full line of grain handling products, including dryers in 1998. 

    (Nearly 60 years in the grain bin industry as family owned)

    After serving as the President of his company for 32 years, Eugene Sukup turned over the position to his son, Charles, in 1995. His son Steve served as the company Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Steve also served in the Iowa Legislature from 1994-2002 and was Speaker Pro Tem of the Iowa House of Representatives.

    What did you learn about yourself to balance your responsibilities as an elected official and the family business day to day responsibilities?

    What were some key things you learned about your state during your time as a representative?

    Eugene held the role of Chairman of the Board, and was active in the business until passing away in July 2018. 

    What were some of the big characteristics of your dad that made him who he was and led to his success?

    Also, what about traits your brother Charles has that led to his success in the 25 years as CEO

    On February 1, 2020, Charles Sukup transitioned to Chairman of the Board, and Steve Sukup assumed the role of President and CEO. Much of the family is involved in the company.

    For those who ask: “Why does Ukraine matter?"

    This is why Ukraine matters.

    It is the second largest country by area in Europe by area and has a population of over 40 million - more than Poland.

    Ukraine ranks:

    1st in Europe in proven recoverable reserves of uranium ores;

    2nd place in Europe and 10th place in the world in terms of titanium ore reserves;

    2nd place in the world in terms of explored reserves of manganese ores (2.3 billion tons, or 12% of the world's reserves);

    2nd largest iron ore reserves in the world (30 billion tons);

    2nd place in Europe in terms of mercury ore reserves;

    3rd place in Europe (13th place in the world) in shale gas reserves (22 trillion cubic meters)

    4th in the world by the total value of natural resources;

    7th place in the world in coal reserves (33.9 billion tons)

    Ukraine is an important agricultural country:

    1st in Europe in terms of arable land area;

    3rd place in the world by the area of black soil (25% of world's volume);

    1st place in the world in exports of sunflower and sunflower oil;

    2nd place in the world in barley production and 4th place in barley exports;

    3rd largest producer and 4th largest exporter of corn in the world;

    4th largest producer of potatoes in the world;

    5th largest rye producer in the world;

    5th place in the world in bee production (75,000 tons);

    8th place in the world in wheat exports;

    9th place in the world in the production of chicken eggs;

    16th place in the world in cheese exports.

    Ukraine can meet the food needs of 600 million people.

    Ukraine is an important industrialised country:

    1st in Europe in ammonia production;

    Europe's 2nd’s and the world’s 4th largest natural gas pipeline system;

    3rd largest in Europe and 8th largest in the world in terms of installed capacity of nuclear power plants;

    3rd place in Europe and 11th in the world in terms of rail network length (21,700 km);

    3rd place in the world (after the U.S. and France) in production of locators and locating equipment;

    3rd largest iron exporter in the world

    4th largest exporter of turbines for nuclear power plants in the world;

    4th world's largest manufacturer of rocket launchers;

    4th place in the world in clay exports

    4th place in the world in titanium exports

    8th place in the world in exports of ores and concentrates;

    9th place in the world in exports of defence industry products;

    10th largest steel producer in the world (32.4 million tons).

    Ukraine matters. That is why its independence is important to the rest of the world--and this also explains why Putin wants to control Ukraine.

    PART 2 of Our #1 most requested topic – The field tile exploration (Does it always pay?)

    We will see how this goes as it might become a multi-part episode

    2nd show – Randy Nessman - master pipe layer

    Randy manages a drain tile company currently after working in dairy farming, custom harvesting, spraying, fertilizing, and even building grain handling equipment.  At 19 years old, he joined the local fire department. Giving back to his community is second nature to Randy. Randy relies on this variety of experience when he co-hosts "Off The Husk", a podcast started in October of 2019 with a mission to become a national voice for agriculture. When he’s not working, he spends time with his wife and two boys.

    • Refresher…….
      • What is drainage tile?
        • Drain tile is a system of pipes with perforations or holes that channels water away from intended areas
        • Field tile is tubing, or pipe buried in the ground to convey subsurface water to an outlet such as a stream or ditch
          • Uses Outlets and inlets strategically
    • Why do we install drainage tile?
      • The purpose of subsurface drainage is to lower the water table in the soil. 
      • The major reason for installing subsurface drainage is to improve the productivity of the farmland.  Higher yields translate into more returns. 
    • Tile is not a luxury, it’s a necessity
      • Is this true
        • Everywhere?
      • How does tile help the customers you work with and your family?
      • Do you know of tile being used in southern regions?
        • Used with orchard crops
        • Used in connection with irrigation
    • Various types of tiling patterns
      • Tile drainage should be designed so the water table between tile lines can be lowered within 24 hours after a rain to a level that will not cause crop injury. 

         
    figure 2 subsurface draining systems
    • The herringbone system (b) consists of parallel tile laterals that enter the main at an angle, usually from both sides. This system is used for long, relatively narrow wet areas such as those next to flat drainageways. 
    • The parallel or gridiron system (a) is similar to the herringbone system except that the laterals enter the main from only one side. This system is used on flat, regularly shaped fields with uniform soil types. 
    • The double-main system (c) is a modification of the gridiron and herringbone systems. It is used where a depression, which is frequently a natural watercourse, divides the field. 
    • A random system (d) is used where the topography is undulating or rolling and contains isolated wet areas.

    •  
    • How do you know what style of tile pattern to use on your farm?
      • Who helps with this?
      • Can you pre-plan and install later?
        • Iowa has prairie potholes with very little slope 
        • What Software is used – are there different kinds?
          • How are things mapped, planned out, how accurate is this?
    • Various installation methods
      • Plow
      • Trencher
      • Excavator
        • Are there any benefits to one over the other?
        • Could they all be necessary for one job?
    • Covid-19 causing supply chain issues?
      • Tile?
      • Connectors?
      • Other?
        • Transportation delays?
    • Tile Drainage Inspection and Maintenance – if we have tile what should we be doing to make sure we maximize that investment?
      • You should inspect your tile drainage system regularly and conduct maintenance when required.  Prompt repair of any drain failure will keep the system in working order and prevent permanent damage to the entire system.
      • 1)  Inspection – Subsurface drainage systems do not require extensive maintenance, but the maintenance that is required is extremely important. If subsurface drains are working, water will stand in the field for only a short time after a heavy rain. If water stands for a few days, the drain may be partly or completely blocked.
      • 2)  Cleaning outlet ditches – Many subsurface drainage systems fail because outlet ditches are blocked. If the outlet ditch is filled with sediment, a survey should be conducted to determine the extent of the cleanout work.
      • 3)  Cleaning surface inlets – Poorly constructed surface inlets are subject to severe damage and require frequent repair. Inlet covers often become sealed with trash and should be checked frequently.  Clean the covers after a heavy rain and replace them carefully.
      • 4)  Repair blowouts – Holes that have developed over subsurface drains should be repaired at once.  Otherwise, large amounts of soil may wash into the line and block the entire system.
      • 5)  Remove sediment – Sediment traps can be used for subsurface drains laid in fine sand or silty soils.  If cleaned regularly, traps keep soil from filling the lines.
      • 6)  Protect drain outlets – Gullies commonly form at unprotected outlets of subsurface drains. Gullies may damage the field, silt up the drainage ditch and reduce the flow of water from the subsurface drain.
      • 7)  Control rodents – A flap gate or fixed pin guard can be used to prevent rodents and other small animals from entering and blocking outlets.
      • 8)  Control tree roots – Trees such as willow, elm, soft maple, cottonwood and other water-loving trees within approximately 100 feet of the drain should be removed. A clearance of 50 feet should be maintained from other species of trees.
      • 9)  Ochre accumulations in the drain – Ochre, which is an iron oxide, may block the drain when iron in solution moves from the soil to the drain and accumulates.

    PART 2 of Our #1 most requested topic – The field tile exploration (Does it always pay?)

    We will see how this goes as it might become a multi-part episode

    2nd show – Randy Nessman - master pipe layer

    Randy manages a drain tile company currently after working in dairy farming, custom harvesting, spraying, fertilizing, and even building grain handling equipment.  At 19 years old, he joined the local fire department. Giving back to his community is second nature to Randy. Randy relies on this variety of experience when he co-hosts "Off The Husk", a podcast started in October of 2019 with a mission to become a national voice for agriculture. When he’s not working, he spends time with his wife and two boys.

    • Refresher…….
      • What is drainage tile?
        • Drain tile is a system of pipes with perforations or holes that channels water away from intended areas
        • Field tile is tubing, or pipe buried in the ground to convey subsurface water to an outlet such as a stream or ditch
          • Uses Outlets and inlets strategically
    • Why do we install drainage tile?
      • The purpose of subsurface drainage is to lower the water table in the soil. 
      • The major reason for installing subsurface drainage is to improve the productivity of the farmland.  Higher yields translate into more returns. 
    • Tile is not a luxury, it’s a necessity
      • Is this true
        • Everywhere?
      • How does tile help the customers you work with and your family?
      • Do you know of tile being used in southern regions?
        • Used with orchard crops
        • Used in connection with irrigation
    • Various types of tiling patterns
      • Tile drainage should be designed so the water table between tile lines can be lowered within 24 hours after a rain to a level that will not cause crop injury. 

         
    figure 2 subsurface draining systems
    • The herringbone system (b) consists of parallel tile laterals that enter the main at an angle, usually from both sides. This system is used for long, relatively narrow wet areas such as those next to flat drainageways. 
    • The parallel or gridiron system (a) is similar to the herringbone system except that the laterals enter the main from only one side. This system is used on flat, regularly shaped fields with uniform soil types. 
    • The double-main system (c) is a modification of the gridiron and herringbone systems. It is used where a depression, which is frequently a natural watercourse, divides the field. 
    • A random system (d) is used where the topography is undulating or rolling and contains isolated wet areas.

    • How do you know what style of tile pattern to use on your farm?
      • Who helps with this?
      • Can you pre-plan and install later?
        • Iowa has prairie potholes with very little slope 
        • What Software is used – are there different kinds?
          • How are things mapped, planned out, how accurate is this?
    • Various installation methods
      • Plow
      • Trencher
      • Excavator

        • Could they all be necessary for one job?
    • Covid-19 causing supply chain issues?
      • Tile?
      • Connectors?
      • Other?
        • Transportation delays?
    • Tile Drainage Inspection and Maintenance – if we have tile what should we be doing to make sure we maximize that investment?
      • You should inspect your tile drainage system regularly and conduct maintenance when required.  Prompt repair of any drain failure will keep the system in working order and prevent permanent damage to the entire system.
      • 1)  Inspection – Subsurface drainage systems do not require extensive maintenance, but the maintenance that is required is extremely important. If subsurface drains are working, water will stand in the field for only a short time after a heavy rain. If water stands for a few days, the drain may be partly or completely blocked.
      • 2)  Cleaning outlet ditches – Many subsurface drainage systems fail because outlet ditches are blocked. If the outlet ditch is filled with sediment, a survey should be conducted to determine the extent of the cleanout work.
      • 3)  Cleaning surface inlets – Poorly constructed surface inlets are subject to severe damage and require frequent repair. Inlet covers often become sealed with trash and should be checked frequently.  Clean the covers after a heavy rain and replace them carefully.
      • 4)  Repair blowouts – Holes that have developed over subsurface drains should be repaired at once.  Otherwise, large amounts of soil may wash into the line and block the entire system.
      • 5)  Remove sediment – Sediment traps can be used for subsurface drains laid in fine sand or silty soils.  If cleaned regularly, traps keep soil from filling the lines.
      • 6)  Protect drain outlets – Gullies commonly form at unprotected outlets of subsurface drains. Gullies may damage the field, silt up the drainage ditch and reduce the flow of water from the subsurface drain.
      • 7)  Control rodents – A flap gate or fixed pin guard can be used to prevent rodents and other small animals from entering and blocking outlets.
      • 8)  Control tree roots – Trees such as willow, elm, soft maple, cottonwood and other water-loving trees within approximately 100 feet of the drain should be removed. A clearance of 50 feet should be maintained from other species of trees.

    Our #1 most requested topic – The field tile exploration (Does it always pay?)

    We will see how this goes as it might become a multi-part episode

    There are more than six million acres of cropland in Iowa where wetness limits productivity. Slightly more than half of the 375 different soils series mapped in Iowa have problems with excess water. The drainage of farmland is obviously important for improving the productivity of Iowa agriculture. Based on the large number of acres susceptible to excessive wetness and the yield response from removing this wetness, farmers and landowners are becoming increasingly interested in drainage. AND that’s just Iowa……..!

    The two major methods of farmland drainage are surface drainage where standing water is removed using surface ditches and subsurface drainage where excess water is removed through a system of underground drainage tiles – that is what we are going to focus on

    • Joel Hayes – He and his brother run Hayes Bros Drainage in Grundy County Iowa and have been in business since 2009.  They have covered most of the state of Iowa during their time in business.
      • Their dad/family also farms around 3500 acres
    • Joel Lange - @centraliowa_rainage  - Joel and his family own and operate Central Iowa Drainage in Guthrie County Iowa where they have been farming since 2012.
      • Joel’s family moved their entire farm from O-Neill Nebraska to Iowa in 2012

    General Questions

    • What is drainage tile?
      • Drain tile is a system of pipes with perforations or holes that channels water away from intended areas
      • Field tile is tubing or pipe buried in the ground to convey subsurface water to an outlet such as a stream or ditch
        • What are outlets?
          • The structures used to control the minimum elevation at which water leaves the drainage tile, which in turn controls the maximum elevation of the groundwater table in the area drained by the tile system to which the outlet control structure is attached.
        • What are inlets?
          • Purpose: A common practice that is used to. drain farmed depressions is a tile riser, which is essentially a pipe that acts as a direct conduit for water from the field to the receiving ditch or stream. A blind inlet or French drain is used to filter at least sediment from the water that is drained from the field.
    • Why do we install drainage tile?
      • The purpose of subsurface drainage is to lower the water table in the soil. The water table is the level at which the soil is entirely saturated with water.  The excess water must be removed to a level below the ground surface where it will not interfere with plant root growth and development. 
      • The major reason for installing subsurface drainage is to improve the productivity of the farmland.  Higher yields translate into more returns. This is especially true in recent years due to higher grain prices. So the investment decision is based on whether the higher crop returns will justify the investment in subsurface drainage.
    • Types of tile
      • Perforated
      • Solid
      • Comes with socks
    • How long is tile good for?
      • When does it need replaced?
      • Useful life of clay tile
      • When was plastic first installed
      • Is that plastic technology improved for today?
    • Is there a right time to install tile?
      • Always….
      • Is there a wrong time to install tile?
        • Reasons to tile when inputs are high
    • We want to put tile in….how do we get started?
      • Prepare a plan
      • Contact the USDA for approval – starts at the FSA office
      • What are recommended best practice steps to take?
        • Mistakes to avoid?
    • If it’s hard to expand your farm by buying high priced ground or renting more ground, how can tile help improve your bottom line?
    • Tiling for a tax deductions…..does this work?
      • Better than equipment purchases?
      • Any specific tile tax breaks?
    • Figuring out return on investment on tile
      • Can you believe the information coming from tile guys? – Do they just want to sell more tile?
      • Are there other resources to use? 
      • ISU Ag Decision Maker
        • The most difficult part of computing a tile investment analysis is estimating the yield response from the improved drainage. The size of the expected yield improvement dramatically impacts the economic feasibility of installing tile drainage, as shown in the example below.
        • Example:
          A 10 bushel per acre yield response from corn and a 4 bushel per acre yield response from soybeans will provide an average annual return of $35 for corn at a price of $3.50 price ($3.50 x 10 bu. = $35) and $36 for soybeans at a price of $9 ($9 x 4 bu. = $36). If the yield responses are 20 bushels for corn and 8 bushels for soybeans, the returns are double.
        • Estimating future returns
          In the analysis above we assumed that the annual income stream will stay constant throughout the entire life of the tile. However, this may not be the case. Corn and soybean yields have increased over recent decades as shown in Figure 3. Corn yields have increased by 2.4 percent and soybean yields by 1.8 percent per year since 1980. Most experts expect this trend to continue, if not increase. The impact of trend yield increases over the life of the tile drainage can be substantial.
    • Tile Investment Strategies
    • A variety of investment strategies have emerged for the installation of tile drainage.  Some of these are based on installations over a period of time.  Others are investment arrangements between tenants and landlords on rented land.
      • 1)  Install subsurface drainage on the entire field With this strategy, the decision is made to install drainage tile on the entire field or farm.  Bids and designs are obtained from various tilers, and the decision is made to move forward with tiling the entire field or farm. 
      • 2)  Design the entire drainage system but install over a period of years – This is similar to the strategy above in that the drainage system for the entire field or farm is designed up-front.  However, the actual investment and installation of tile drainage is spread over a period of years, often as income becomes available.
      • 3)  Invest a fixed amount of money in drainage With this strategy, the investment decision is based on spending a fixed amount of money on drainage.  The system is then designed to get the most drainage benefit from the limited amount of money.  Although this may optimize the benefit from the investment, it often leads to a “patchwork” system as subsequent investments are made over a period of years and does not provide for the best overall drainage system.
    • Landlord/tenant strategies 
      • 1)  Landlord Investment Strategy – The traditional landlord/tenant investment strategy is for the landlord to make the tiling investment and charge the tenant a higher cash rental rate.  The higher cash rental rate is due to higher yields achieved from the drainage and provides the landlord with a return on his/her tiling investment.
        • The additional cash rent can be computed from the estimated increase in net return from tile installation. For example, if the cash rental rate is currently based on the typical rate in the local community, the new rate will be the typical rate plus the additional net return from the estimated increase in net returns from drainage.
        • The additional cash rent can be computed based on a fixed rate of return from the tile investment.  For example, if the tiling investment is $500 per acre and a rate of return of 8 percent is desired, the additional cash rent is $40 per acre ($500 x 8% = $40).  If the cash rental rate is currently based on the typical rate in the local community, the new rate will reflect this typical rate plus $40.
      • 2)  Tenant Investment Strategy – The tenant makes the tile investment on the landlord’s farm. Because the landlord makes none of the investment, the cash rental rate does not increase due to the increase in productivity. The additional net returns go to the tenant as compensation for the tiling investment. 
        • A major concern for the tenant is whether he/she will have access to the land for a long enough period of time to justify the capital investment. One approach is to enter into a long-term lease between the two parties. However, individuals often do not want to lock themselves into a lease for this length of time.  In Iowa, farm leases of five or more years in length must be recorded and multiple-year leases may not exceed 20 years.
        • Another option is to continue with one year leases but execute an ancillary contract dealing specifically with the tiling. Under this contract the tenant receives a pro-rata buyout of the tiling investment from the landowner if he/she ceases to rent the farm during the lifetime of the tile.
          • For example, assume the tiling investment is $400 per acre and the life of the investment is 20 years. If the tenant ceases to rent the land after five years, he/she receives a payment of $300 per acre. Leaving after 15 years results in a payment of $100 per acre and after 20 years there is no payment.
        • The length of the buyout period is negotiable between tenant and landlord. The buyout payment can be made by the landlord. An alternative is for the new tenant to make the buyout payment to the tenant that is leaving and take over the remaining life of the contract.
      • 3)  Shared Investment Strategy – The landlord and tenant share the tiling investment and use a crop-share lease. The investment is shared in the same proportion as the crop is shared in the leasing arrangement (e.g. 50/50). With this arrangement, each party receives the additional net returns in the same proportion as the investment. An arrangement is made where the tenant will receive a prorated buyout if he/she leaves the farm before the useful life of the tile is expended. An alternative is for the landlord to make the investment and modify the crop share lease provisions to reflect the change in contribution.

    Our #1 most requested topic – The field tile exploration (Does it always pay?)

    We will see how this goes as it might become a multi-part episode

    There are more than six million acres of cropland in Iowa where wetness limits productivity. Slightly more than half of the 375 different soils series mapped in Iowa have problems with excess water. The drainage of farmland is obviously important for improving the productivity of Iowa agriculture. Based on the large number of acres susceptible to excessive wetness and the yield response from removing this wetness, farmers and landowners are becoming increasingly interested in drainage. AND that’s just Iowa……..!

    The two major methods of farmland drainage are surface drainage where standing water is removed using surface ditches and subsurface drainage where excess water is removed through a system of underground drainage tiles – that is what we are going to focus on

    • Joel Hayes – He and his brother run Hayes Bros Drainage in Grundy County Iowa and have been in business since 2009.  They have covered most of the state of Iowa during their time in business.
      • Their dad/family also farms around 3500 acres
    • Joel Lange - @centraliowa_rainage  - Joel and his family own and operate Central Iowa Drainage in Guthrie County Iowa where they have been farming since 2012.
      • Joel’s family moved their entire farm from O-Neill Nebraska to Iowa in 2012

    General Questions

    • What is drainage tile?
      • Drain tile is a system of pipes with perforations or holes that channels water away from intended areas
      • Field tile is tubing or pipe buried in the ground to convey subsurface water to an outlet such as a stream or ditch
        • What are outlets?
          • The structures used to control the minimum elevation at which water leaves the drainage tile, which in turn controls the maximum elevation of the groundwater table in the area drained by the tile system to which the outlet control structure is attached.
        • What are inlets?
          • Purpose: A common practice that is used to. drain farmed depressions is a tile riser, which is essentially a pipe that acts as a direct conduit for water from the field to the receiving ditch or stream. A blind inlet or French drain is used to filter at least sediment from the water that is drained from the field.
    • Why do we install drainage tile?
      • The purpose of subsurface drainage is to lower the water table in the soil. The water table is the level at which the soil is entirely saturated with water.  The excess water must be removed to a level below the ground surface where it will not interfere with plant root growth and development. 
      • The major reason for installing subsurface drainage is to improve the productivity of the farmland.  Higher yields translate into more returns. This is especially true in recent years due to higher grain prices. So the investment decision is based on whether the higher crop returns will justify the investment in subsurface drainage.
    • Types of tile
      • Perforated
      • Solid
      • Comes with socks
    • How long is tile good for?
      • When does it need replaced?
      • Useful life of clay tile
      • When was plastic first installed
      • Is that plastic technology improved for today?
    • Is there a right time to install tile?
      • Always….
      • Is there a wrong time to install tile?
        • Reasons to tile when inputs are high
    • We want to put tile in….how do we get started?
      • Prepare a plan
      • Contact the USDA for approval – starts at the FSA office
      • What are recommended best practice steps to take?
        • Mistakes to avoid?
    • If it’s hard to expand your farm by buying high priced ground or renting more ground, how can tile help improve your bottom line?
    • Tiling for a tax deductions…..does this work?
      • Better than equipment purchases?
      • Any specific tile tax breaks?
    • Figuring out return on investment on tile
      • Can you believe the information coming from tile guys? – Do they just want to sell more tile?
      • Are there other resources to use? 
      • ISU Ag Decision Maker
        • The most difficult part of computing a tile investment analysis is estimating the yield response from the improved drainage. The size of the expected yield improvement dramatically impacts the economic feasibility of installing tile drainage, as shown in the example below.
        • Example:
          A 10 bushel per acre yield response from corn and a 4 bushel per acre yield response from soybeans will provide an average annual return of $35 for corn at a price of $3.50 price ($3.50 x 10 bu. = $35) and $36 for soybeans at a price of $9 ($9 x 4 bu. = $36). If the yield responses are 20 bushels for corn and 8 bushels for soybeans, the returns are double.
        • Estimating future returns
          In the analysis above we assumed that the annual income stream will stay constant throughout the entire life of the tile. However, this may not be the case. Corn and soybean yields have increased over recent decades as shown in Figure 3. Corn yields have increased by 2.4 percent and soybean yields by 1.8 percent per year since 1980. Most experts expect this trend to continue, if not increase. The impact of trend yield increases over the life of the tile drainage can be substantial.
    • Tile Investment Strategies
    • A variety of investment strategies have emerged for the installation of tile drainage.  Some of these are based on installations over a period of time.  Others are investment arrangements between tenants and landlords on rented land.
      • 1)  Install subsurface drainage on the entire field With this strategy, the decision is made to install drainage tile on the entire field or farm.  Bids and designs are obtained from various tilers, and the decision is made to move forward with tiling the entire field or farm.

    • Farm Rescue

    Tips for negotiating with landlords, suppliers, buyers, and everyone else.

    • Vance Crowe is a communications consultant that has worked for corporations and international organizations around the world. He has spoken before more than 150,000 people, answering questions about some of the most sophisticated and controversial technologies in the modern age.  
    • Vance is the former Director of Millennial Engagement for Monsanto. He previously worked as a Communications Strategist for the World Bank Group, as a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer stationed in Kenya, as a Communications Coordinator at a National Public Radio affiliate in Northern California.
    • Vance holds a degree in communications from Marquette University and a master’s degree in cross-cultural negotiations from the Seton Hall School of Diplomacy. 
    • He’s here today to help make the complex idea of negotiating simple for all of us to understand.

        • Should we even wany compromise?
    • What is the 51/49 rule, why is it important?
      • Is this the same as never split the difference?

    • How does body language play into the negotiation? 
    • Do you have any exciting stories what would grab the listener’s ear?
    • Is there anything else our listener needs to know about negotiating?

    Situational Questions

    • Negotiations with someone who we believe has the upper hand.  
      • Negotiating with landlord who owns the farm ground.  The idea is that owner could rent it out to any other farmer in the neighborhood if we don’t pay their price (which is probably too high).  Control over a land base is key in agriculture and the reason many over pay cash rent on land.
    • Negotiations with Ag retailers who provide chemicals, fertilizer, seed, and more.
      • Negotiations with a salesperson who usually doesn’t have the final say.  Most of the time is a large company with what appears to be set prices.  Farmers just succumb to what is offered thinking it’s their only option.
    • Negotiations with AG product purchasers.  How do we get more money for the products we produce?
      • Most farmers don’t sell directly to the consumer, so they market their product to processors.  These can be grain elevators or meat packing facilities that have a combination of price x weight component with a basis factor for delivery and end product.  How can we negotiate the sale to ensure we aren’t leaving any money on the table in the end?
    • Negotiations with friends who also sell a product or provide a service.
      •  Agriculture is a tight knit group.  More than likely the people you buy from in your network are also your friends.  We don’t want to hurt their feelings, but also know the key to our future is to be a profitable farmer.
    • Negotiations with family for time and labor.
      • The common question around the AG world is how to balance farm and family.  Our observations are some farmers feel guilty for spending more time on their work than their family.  We believe there should be a balance, but balance doesn’t always mean equal.  Most of the time the feeling of guilt comes from misrepresented expectations or abilities.  How do we more effectively win discussions/conversations/negotiations about where our time is spent with family?

    Summary

    Challenge

    Don’t forget about the BW Fusion fall incentive for signing up and purchasing 500 acres of meltdown and the 401 team then you get a free field in 365.  Also remember that they combine their best-in-class products along with the 365 soil and tissue program to provide growers the tools necessary to address limiting factors in real time.  Just like 365 Your reviews are how we monitor our podcast in real time.

    Reminder to like, rate, and review.  Please don’t hesitate to share the “Mullet of Podcasts” with your friends.  We look forward to sharing more time with you next week on our Farm4Fun Episode.

    1. Remember, everything is negotiable.Don’t narrow a negotiation down to just one issue. Develop as many issues or negotiable deal points as you can and then juggle in additional deal points if you and the other party lock onto one issue.
    2. Crystallize your vision of the outcome. The counterpart who can visualize the end result will most likely be the one who guides the negotiation.
    3. Prepare in advance. Information is power. Obtain as much information as possible beforehand to make sure you understand the value of what you are negotiating. Remember, very few negotiations begin when the counterparts arrive at the table.
    4. Ask questions. Clarify information you do not understand. Determine both the implicit and explicit needs of your counterpart.
    5. Listen. When you do a good job listening, you not only gain new ideas for creating win/win outcomes but also make your counterpart feel cared for and valued. This also allows you to find out what the other party wants. If you assume that his or her wants and needs are the same as yours, you will have the attitude that only one of you can “win” the negotiation.
    6. Set a goal for each deal point. Define your minimum level of acceptance for each goal. If you aren’t clear on your goals, you will end up reacting to the propositions of your counterpart.
    7. Aim your aspirations high. Your aspirations will likely be the single most important factor in determining the outcome of the negotiation. You can aim high just as easily as you can aim low.
    8. Develop options and strategies. Successful people are those who have the greatest number of viable alternatives. Similarly, successful negotiators are those who have the most strategies they can use to turn their options into reality.
    9. Think like a dolphin. The dolphin is the only mammal who can swim in a sea of sharks or in a sea of carp. Dolphins are able to adapt their strategies and behaviors to their counterparts. Remember, even when negotiating with a shark, you have an option–you can walk away!
    10. Be honest and fair. In life, what goes around comes around. The goal in creating win/win outcomes is to have both counterparts feel that their needs and goals have been met, so that they will be willing to come back to the table and negotiate again. An atmosphere of trust reduces the time required to create win/win outcomes.
    11. Never accept the first offer. Often, the other party will make an offer that he or she thinks you will refuse just to see how firm you are on key issues. Chances are, if you don’t have to fight a little for what you want, you won’t get the best deal.
    12. Deal from strength if you can. If that’s not possible, at least create the appearance of strength. If the other party thinks you have no reason to compromise in your demands, he or she is less likely to ask you to.
    13. Find out what the other party wants. Concede slowly, and call a concession a concession. Giving in too easily tells the other party that you will probably be open to accepting even more concessions.
    14. Be cooperative and friendly.Avoid being abrasive or combative, which often breaks down negotiations.
    15. Use the power of competition. Someone who thinks it’s necessary to compete for your business may be willing to give away more than he or she originally intended. Sometimes just the threat of competition is enough to encourage concessions.

    What’s Working in AG

    • Farm Rescue

    Tips for negotiating with landlords, suppliers, buyers, and everyone else.

    • Vance Crowe is a communications consultant that has worked for corporations and international organizations around the world. He has spoken before more than 150,000 people, answering questions about some of the most sophisticated and controversial technologies in the modern age.  
    • Vance is the former Director of Millennial Engagement for Monsanto. He previously worked as a Communications Strategist for the World Bank Group, as a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer stationed in Kenya, as a Communications Coordinator at a National Public Radio affiliate in Northern California.
    • Vance holds a degree in communications from Marquette University and a master’s degree in cross-cultural negotiations from the Seton Hall School of Diplomacy. 
    • He’s here today to help make the complex idea of negotiating simple for all of us to understand.

    General Questions

    • This is now the second time we here at Farm4Profit have focused on this topic.  Why is this so important?
      • Cash rent
      • Inputs
      • Equipment
      • Sales
      • Labor
    • Can anyone become good at negotiating?
      • What does it take to be good at it?
        • Is there an art to asking good questions?
        • How can I become good at asking questions?
    • How can we start a negotiation with a leg up?
      • Seems like no one wants to “show their cards” first….Is that the right way?
      • How do we recover if we feel like we are behind or losing?
      • What are smart tradeoffs or ways to compromise?
        • Should we even wany compromise?
    • What is the 51/49 rule, why is it important?
      • Is this the same as never split the difference?
      • Are win-win deals really losers?
    • Are there any sure-fire tips you can provide the listeners to improve their skills?
      • 5 key tips everyone needs to know
    • How does body language play into the negotiation? 
    • Do you have any exciting stories what would grab the listener’s ear?
    • Is there anything else our listener needs to know about negotiating?

    Situational Questions

    • Negotiations with someone who we believe has the upper hand.  
      • Negotiating with landlord who owns the farm ground.  The idea is that owner could rent it out to any other farmer in the neighborhood if we don’t pay their price (which is probably too high).  Control over a land base is key in agriculture and the reason many over pay cash rent on land.
    • Negotiations with Ag retailers who provide chemicals, fertilizer, seed, and more.
      • Negotiations with a salesperson who usually doesn’t have the final say.  Most of the time is a large company with what appears to be set prices.  Farmers just succumb to what is offered thinking it’s their only option.
    • Negotiations with AG product purchasers.  How do we get more money for the products we produce?
      • Most farmers don’t sell directly to the consumer, so they market their product to processors.  These can be grain elevators or meat packing facilities that have a combination of price x weight component with a basis factor for delivery and end product.  How can we negotiate the sale to ensure we aren’t leaving any money on the table in the end?
    • Negotiations with friends who also sell a product or provide a service.
      •  Agriculture is a tight knit group.  More than likely the people you buy from in your network are also your friends.  We don’t want to hurt their feelings, but also know the key to our future is to be a profitable farmer.
    • Negotiations with family for time and labor.
      • The common question around the AG world is how to balance farm and family.  Our observations are some farmers feel guilty for spending more time on their work than their family.  We believe there should be a balance, but balance doesn’t always mean equal.  Most of the time the feeling of guilt comes from misrepresented expectations or abilities.  How do we more effectively win discussions/conversations/negotiations about where our time is spent with family?

    Summary

    Challenge

    Don’t forget about the BW Fusion fall incentive for signing up and purchasing 500 acres of meltdown and the 401 team then you get a free field in 365.  Also remember that they combine their best-in-class products along with the 365 soil and tissue program to provide growers the tools necessary to address limiting factors in real time.  Just like 365 Your reviews are how we monitor our podcast in real time.

    Reminder to like, rate, and review.  Please don’t hesitate to share the “Mullet of Podcasts” with your friends.  We look forward to sharing more time with you next week on our Farm4Fun Episode.

    1. Remember, everything is negotiable.Don’t narrow a negotiation down to just one issue. Develop as many issues or negotiable deal points as you can and then juggle in additional deal points if you and the other party lock onto one issue.
    2. Crystallize your vision of the outcome. The counterpart who can visualize the end result will most likely be the one who guides the negotiation.
    3. Prepare in advance. Information is power. Obtain as much information as possible beforehand to make sure you understand the value of what you are negotiating. Remember, very few negotiations begin when the counterparts arrive at the table.
    4. Ask questions. Clarify information you do not understand. Determine both the implicit and explicit needs of your counterpart.
    5. Listen. When you do a good job listening, you not only gain new ideas for creating win/win outcomes but also make your counterpart feel cared for and valued. This also allows you to find out what the other party wants. If you assume that his or her wants and needs are the same as yours, you will have the attitude that only one of you can “win” the negotiation.
    6. Set a goal for each deal point. Define your minimum level of acceptance for each goal. If you aren’t clear on your goals, you will end up reacting to the propositions of your counterpart.
    7. Aim your aspirations high. Your aspirations will likely be the single most important factor in determining the outcome of the negotiation. You can aim high just as easily as you can aim low.
    8. Develop options and strategies. Successful people are those who have the greatest number of viable alternatives. Similarly, successful negotiators are those who have the most strategies they can use to turn their options into reality.
    9. Think like a dolphin. The dolphin is the only mammal who can swim in a sea of sharks or in a sea of carp. Dolphins are able to adapt their strategies and behaviors to their counterparts. Remember, even when negotiating with a shark, you have an option–you can walk away!
    10. Be honest and fair. In life, what goes around comes around. The goal in creating win/win outcomes is to have both counterparts feel that their needs and goals have been met, so that they will be willing to come back to the table and negotiate again. An atmosphere of trust reduces the time required to create win/win outcomes.
    11. Never accept the first offer. Often, the other party will make an offer that he or she thinks you will refuse just to see how firm you are on key issues. Chances are, if you don’t have to fight a little for what you want, you won’t get the best deal.
    12. Deal from strength if you can. If that’s not possible, at least create the appearance of strength. If the other party thinks you have no reason to compromise in your demands, he or she is less likely to ask you to.
    13. Find out what the other party wants. Concede slowly, and call a concession a concession. Giving in too easily tells the other party that you will probably be open to accepting even more concessions.
    14. Be cooperative and friendly.Avoid being abrasive or combative, which often breaks down negotiations.
    15. Use the power of competition. Someone who thinks it’s necessary to compete for your business may be willing to give away more than he or she originally intended. Sometimes just the threat of competition is enough to encourage concessions.

    •  

    • Willingness To Sacrifice
      • Entrepreneurship by nature requires sacrifices both in your personal and business life: be it sacrificing personal time to learn a new skill to help the business or the willingness to terminate a friend that was not a fit for said business. Hence, if there is little to no willingness to be flexible enough to sacrifice, starting a business should not be an option. - Kamyar Shah, World Consulting Group
    • Quality as job one. 
      • Top performers consider quality a priority over simply getting things done. They aren’t satisfied unless your clients and customers are singing your praises. -https://www.thehartford.com/
    • Are you ready to take your day back?
    • Benefits of Time Management 
      • Stress relief
        • Making and following a task schedule reduces anxiety. As you check off items on your “to-do” list, you can see that you are making tangible progress. This helps you avoid feeling stressed out with worry about whether you’re getting things done.
      • More time
        • Good time management gives you extra time to spend in your daily life. People who can time-manage effectively enjoy having more time to spend on hobbies
      • More opportunities
        • Managing time well leads to more opportunities and less time wasted on trivial activities. Good time management skills are key qualities that employers look for. The ability to prioritize and schedule work is extremely desirable for any organization.
      • Ability to realize goals
        • Individuals who practice good time management are able to better achieve goals and objectives, and do so in a shorter length of time.
    • How can you become better at managing your time?
      • Set goals correctly
      • Use the SMART method when setting goals. In essence, make sure the goals you set are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely.
    • Prioritize wisely
      • Important and urgent: Do these tasks right away.
      • Important but not urgent: Decide when to do these tasks.
      • Urgent but not important: Delegate these tasks if possible.
      • Not urgent and not important: Set these aside to do later.
    • Set a time limit to complete a task
      • Setting time constraints for completing tasks helps you be more focused and efficient. Making the small extra effort to decide on how much time you need to allot for each task can also help you recognize potential problems before they arise. That way you can make plans for dealing with them.
    • Take a break between tasks
      • When doing a lot of tasks without a break, it is harder to stay focused and motivated. Allow some downtime between tasks to clear your head and refresh yourself. Consider grabbing a brief nap, going for a short walk, or meditating.
    • Organize yourself
      • Utilize your calendar for more long-term time management. Write down the deadlines for projects, or for tasks that are part of completing the overall project. Think about which days might be best to dedicate to specific tasks. 
    • Remove non-essential tasks/activities
      • It is important to remove excess activities or tasks. Determine what is significant and what deserves your time. Removing non-essential tasks/activities frees up more of your time to be spent on genuinely important things.
    • Plan ahead
      • Make sure you start every day with a clear idea of what you need to do – what needs to get done THAT DAY. Consider making it a habit to, at the end of each workday, go ahead and write out your “to-do” list for the next workday. That way you can hit the ground running the next morning
    •  
    •  
    •  
    •  
    • Another way to gain more time is to delegate, but how do we let go?
    • Decide What to Delegate
      • Start with a small project, or one that doesn’t have to be completed in a specific way. Don’t assign your most critical, time-sensitive tasks, and leave ample time for mistakes to happen (that means don’t pass off something at 5 PM on Thursday. Most importantly, never delegate something you’re not willing to do yourself.
    • Pick the Right People 
      • Choosing the best people on your team for the job is the key to effective delegating. Of course, select people who you’re confident can do the job well and who are self-motivated and comfortable working without constant supervision. But also take time to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the members of your team (& yours, too!)
    • Communicate Clearly 
      • Open, clear communication from the get-go is absolutely crucial to ensuring that the projects you delegate will be done well. Be up-front about your expectations, including timelines and deliverables.  It can be helpful to put everything in writing or provide people with a template or guidelines for the project
    • Check in, but Don’t Be Overbearing
      • Once you delegate a task, give your team members flexibility on how they get it done (unless, of course, there’s a specific protocol or procedure). 
    • Check in periodically to make sure everyone is on the right track and to offer to answer questions as needed. 
      • Be Patient and Understanding
        • Just be patient—as you learn how your team works best, and as they learn your expectations, things will get easier. 
        • Mistakes will happen. Be understanding, but also address problems when they arise, so that your team members can learn from them and do things differently next time.
      • Share in Rewards and Give Credit Where Due
        • Be sure to recognize and thank anyone who’s helped you out, and make your whole team (not just yourself) looks good for doing the job well. 
    • What is a common trait or characteristic that you have seen among the most successful people you know?
    • Anything else you’d like our listeners to know?
    • Reminder to share CONTACT INFO and say thank you

    • Plan ahead
      • Make sure you start every day with a clear idea of what you need to do – what needs to get done THAT DAY. Consider making it a habit to, at the end of each workday, go ahead and write out your “to-do” list for the next workday. That way you can hit the ground running the next morning
    •  
    •  
    •  
    •  
    • Another way to gain more time is to delegate, but how do we let go?
    • Decide What to Delegate
      • Start with a small project, or one that doesn’t have to be completed in a specific way. Don’t assign your most critical, time-sensitive tasks, and leave ample time for mistakes to happen (that means don’t pass off something at 5 PM on Thursday. Most importantly, never delegate something you’re not willing to do yourself.
    • Pick the Right People 
      • Choosing the best people on your team for the job is the key to effective delegating. Of course, select people who you’re confident can do the job well and who are self-motivated and comfortable working without constant supervision. But also take time to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the members of your team (& yours, too!)
    • Communicate Clearly 
      • Open, clear communication from the get-go is absolutely crucial to ensuring that the projects you delegate will be done well. Be up-front about your expectations, including timelines and deliverables.  It can be helpful to put everything in writing or provide people with a template or guidelines for the project
    • Check in, but Don’t Be Overbearing
      • Once you delegate a task, give your team members flexibility on how they get it done (unless, of course, there’s a specific protocol or procedure). 
    • Check in periodically to make sure everyone is on the right track and to offer to answer questions as needed. 
      • Be Patient and Understanding
        • Just be patient—as you learn how your team works best, and as they learn your expectations, things will get easier. 
        • Mistakes will happen. Be understanding, but also address problems when they arise, so that your team members can learn from them and do things differently next time.
      • Share in Rewards and Give Credit Where Due
        • Be sure to recognize and thank anyone who’s helped you out, and make your whole team (not just yourself) looks good for doing the job well. 
    • What is a common trait or characteristic that you have seen among the most successful people you know?
    • Anything else you’d like our listeners to know?
    • Reminder to share CONTACT INFO and say thank you

    What’s Working in AG – www.fieldpocket.com

    helping the farming be more organized with record keeping

    INSERT Brandt 30 second AD

    Main topic – Breaking down the value of contract raising livestock.

    • Guest – Travis from Circle “U” Farms
      • Cattle and poultry farmer who is here today to help us provide an episode with straight forward information around custom raising livestock.
      • Where do you farm and tell us a little about yourself Travis!

      •  
    • Definition of contract growing livestock or custom raising livestock.
      • Production contracts specify services provided by a farmer for a contractor who owns the commodity while it is being produced. The contract covers (1) the services provided by the farmer, (2) the way the farmer is to be compensated for the services, and (3) the specific contractor responsibilities for provision of inputs. For example, farmers provide labor, housing, and equipment under livestock and poultry production contracts, while contractors provide such other inputs as feed, veterinary and livestock transportation services, and young animals.”
    • Livestock Integrator
      • Owner of the livestock placed for custom raising
    • Today we will try to provide perspective from 3 types of livestock.
      • Corey/Tanner – Pigs
      • Tanner/David – Cattle
      • Travis – Poultry
    • What does it take to get started?
      • Facilities
        • Size of building, amount of land
        • Costs to build or remodel
        • Ongoing maintenance
        • Storing Feed
      • Labor
        • Tasks frequently done
        • Hired?
        • Contractors?
        • Regular Hours?
      • Equipment
        • Tractor
        • Mower
        • Handling
        • Etc….
      • Contract
        • How do we get paid?
        • What are normal expectations?
          • Farmers Responsibilities
          • Integrators Responsibilities 
        • Length?
          • Flock by flock, group by group, years
    • Is it profitable?
      • Hogs
      • Cattle
      • Poultry - Depending on the size of bird produced, five to seven flocks per year may be grown per house with flock sizes ranging between 22,000 and 26,000. Gross income per house will generally range from $28,000 to $35,000 annually. Thus, net returns per house are generally minimal ($3,000 to $10,000) during the 10- to 15-year payback period. Returns per house are much more substantial once the house is paid for.
    • Advantages
      • Reduced management responsibilities.
        • Still requires intense herd/flock management & record keeping, but less accounting
      • Less risk for production and less risk for loss of income
        • Also limits upside potential – poultry gets bonuses
      • Relatively fixed income; some insulation from price changes.
        • Utilities, fuel, labor, etc….not fixed costs
      • Less operating capital necessary
        • Still requires substantial capital at initial investment
      • Opportunity to participate in livestock production.
      • Opportunity to obtain additional income from the farm.
      • Borrowing capacity
        • Typically having a contract provides financial institutions more comfort when approving loans
      • Manure/Fertilizer
        • There is one sentence in the Clean Water Act that says "if you dictate the growing conditions, all the byproducts are yours" yet they cast the responsibility on the grower, so I don't know that I would consider the litter/manure to be a Pro for the grower.
      • Other personal advantages?
    • Disadvantages
      • Possibility of limited opportunity for growth. 
        • New building and expansion are dictated by integrators' plans.
      • High fixed investment. 
      • Pressure to keep up with technological changes in management, housing, and equipment.
      • Possible lack bargaining power.
      • You might have higher production costs in order to comply with contract terms, for example, because you must use higher priced inputs or special equipment
      • You may have less flexibility in how you farm if the contract provides guidelines on what practices must be followed
        • play by their rules or move on
      • Other disadvantages from personal experience?
    • Why Do Companies/Integrators Want to Use Production Contracts? 
      • Quality Control –genetic technology, production methods, and inputs used, and help ensure uniformity and quality of the commodity produced. 
      • Intellectual Property Protections –can control access to new technologies, thus serving as a form of intellectual property protection. 
      • Confidential Arrangements –preserve the confidentiality of their marketing arrangements and even the identity of end-users. 
      • Pricing Confidentiality –often use non-public pricing which conceals the premium earned for any special trait or the amount paid for performing services. This can create higher profits for the contractor and may limit the ability of producers to bargain for higher payments. 
      • Lower Risks and Higher Profits – offers companies a way to invest in technologies like improved breeding & extend operations into production without having to own farmland or production facilities. 
      • Move Capital Requirements from the Company to Farmers –allow companies to move the financial risk of building barns and buying equipment from their balance sheet to that of farmers. This reduces their financial risk in case market conditions call for reduced production
      • Lower Environmental Risk – Contracts allow companies to ensure the responsibility for manure and other waste, such as dead animals, remains with the farmer. Disposal of waste can be subject to local, state, and federal law
    • Things to consider
      • Remember the first rule of contracts: whoever writes the contract benefits most. Don’t assume a contract protects you. It might, but you shouldn’t assume so. The contractor who wrote the contract protected its interests. You must protect your own interests
      • Be sure any changes to a contract are made in writing. Never rely on oral communications to amend an agreement. Just because you believe a contract was changed by a conversation with the contractor or its representative, doesn’t make it true. If you and the other party agree to amend the terms of a contract, get the new terms in writing, and have the other party sign them
      • Keep good records of your performance under the contract. It is helpful to keep records and documents concerning your performance. Also, keep notes about any communications with the contractor. If a dispute arises, your records may provide the answers a court will need in order to resolve it.
    • What worked for the neighbor might not work for you
      • Is there anything else you would like our listeners to learn from our conversation today?

    Main topic – Making Equipment Choices – Topic suggested by Listener Andrew Duff from NE Iowa

    Buying new vs repairing and upgrading old vs leasing vs custom hire

    • Guest – TJ Masker – TractorZoom - @AgTechTed
      • T.J. Masker - Senior Product Manager on the Product Team at TractorZoom helping them build farmer focused solutions. He graduated from Iowa State with a degree in Agricultural Business. For the past 10 years of his career he has been focused on helping farmers make more profitable decisions with data. Most recently, TJ was on the Product Team at Granular helping build Granular Insights and the data analysis tools utilized by farmers across the United States and Canada. Today he is here to help us prepared to make good equipment decisions.
    • Where do we start?
      • You need to understand you goals and needs of the farm obviously.
        • We can’t go off just buying what the salesman has to offer.
        • How do we do this?
        • Why is this important?
          • Key qualities, skills, or information necessary?
      • Force yourself to not compare to the neighbors
    • We’re going to try and give broad advice here, but for the sake of a good starting space let’s talk combines. One of the highest value pieces of equipment
      • TJ wrote an article for his blog about John Deere S670 Combines that we think will be a good jumping off point.  Let’s state by talking trading combines, what do we need to consider?

        • Usage
          • How long will you keep it? Years?
          • How many hours per year?
        • Current Market Value
          • How do we come up with a value?
            • Auction vs private sales vs trade
        • Interest Expense
          • What rates are you being offered?
        • Expected Repairs
          • ISU 
        • Fuel Expense
          • Does your upgrade provide fuel efficiency?
          • “Uh Oh” DEF
        • Actual Depreciation
          • More on newer & lower hour’d machines
    • That was trading to own as an option.  What if we wanted to look at leasing equipment?
      • A lot of the same considerations apply……
        • Budget
        • Use
          • How many hours? Will you charge by the hour?
          • Run it and roll before replacing tires etc….
        • Interest rate, lease terms, fees
          • Are you limited by hours?  What does it cost if you go over or don’t use them?
          • Is the residual or buyout going to be more than the machine is worth in the end or will you have the opportunity at equity?
          • Does it come with warranty – how extensive?
        • Tax needs
          • Section 179 deductions work for owning
            • Might not always be around, at the same amounts or apply in each state
          • Lease payments are an expense
        • Technology needs
          • Did you buy a new planted that needs something specific or more hyd capacity?
        • Cash flow
          • Typically leases have lower payments and provide an option for paying for equipment over a longer time
      • Negatives
        • You don’t truly build equity, get no depreciation, taxed as an expense
      • Positives
        • Can help the balance sheet out (Debt-to-Equity), helps cash flow, typically used to get into a piece of equipment you wouldn’t regularly afford.
        • Also known as a hedge against decreasing machinery values
          • Opposite of now
    • Now what about owning or leasing compared to hiring someone to custom perform the farming task.
      • People can have everything done custom, is there anything that can’t be done?
      • Comparing costs
        • More than the sticker price needs to be included. 
          • Maintenance, fuel, fluids, etc…
          • Support equipment (Sprayer needs tender and pumps-Combine needs heads)
          • Will you need Licensing or certification?
      • Cash flow needs
        • Can you cover the bill when the task is performed?
        • Does owning allow you to make a loan payment in a better time of year?
      • Workload
        • Do you have the support equipment?
        • Can you afford the size of equipment necessary?
        • Do you have the labor or time to do the task?

        • Can you do the best job?
        • Do you trust your custom operator?
          • Bushel yield loss combine, sprayer runs over crop, seeding on time, etc…
      • Negatives
        • Timing is typically out of your control and so is quality
      • Positives
        • Typically, the bill is less than the cost of ownership and helps on labor needs
    • What about Joint ownership on equipment, partnerships, or exchanging services?

    • Trust your Gut – what does this mean to you?
      • What worked once might not work every year or for each different piece
      • You know there are farmers out there who don’t feel they need any help, are doing just fine, and can do it themselves.  What would you say to an individual such as that?

    Great Podcast!

    Not a farmer but most of my customers are. This podcast gives me the ability to create more conversations and helps build relationships with them. You guys are helping more than just farmers in being profitable!

    Commercial – Estates Concaves

    • Working to help stop rotor loss (saves up to $30k per 1000 acres of soybeans)
    • Increase profitability by being able to combine faster
    • Less grain damages
    • XPR2 Concave – one concave for all your crops
    • Reminder- Kimberly Ag field day 9/15-9/16
    • What’s Working in AG – Geringhoff Product Launch
      • Iowa sales rep – Jon Schrandt
        • Geringhoff updates

    Main topic – Helping Stubborn Farmers work together

    • Guest – Andy Junkin
    • God given life mission of PREVENTING other farmers from being faced with family frustrations. I found out I had a natural gift to mediate family situations and disputes. In 2010, I opened an office in Western Ontario and over the past decade have been able to help farmers in over 21 states and four Canadian provinces. For many years, you could say I lived the lifestyle of a “missionary priest,” driving 70,000 miles a year all across North America, helping family farms. Together with his wife (Bernadette) he bought a little farm Iowa and the good Lord blessed us with two and a half children (stork coming Christmas 2021) with an amazing marriage. Bernadette is a key driver of the business from behind the scenes and together we are determined to help as many farms as possible. 

     

    • So, this episode will be a little bit broad because we know not all farms have multigenerational connections, but that is where this stems from.  The situation of dad/grandpa still calling all the shots and the next generations not getting to do much.  But truly, how do we make it to where we work well with other and where others work well with us?
      • He has a hip surgery story to tell
    • Think about this for a minute.  
      • How much time is wasted or misused to argue about a choice during the day?
      • How many times do you leave feeling unheard or unhappy?
        • Ultimately, what do you think this does for profitability?
    • You need to understand you goals and needs of the farm.
      • Grandma – Milk Pitcher Story
        • Why is this important?
          • Many ways to Milk a cow analogy
        • How do we do this?
          • A – B – C 
    • Can we fix all the family problems forever?
      • The goal is to fix how your family resolves problems
    • What does it mean to you to “Bullet Proof” your farm?
      • Is it important to establish specific roles?
        • Does this leave open opportunity for frustration because someone isn’t “doing their job”?
    • How can fixing the family farming relationship lead to success and growth?
    • What are some tips to be able to separate farm emotions from family?
      • The ability to disagree at “work” but still have supper together cordially.
    • We’ve always done it this way……how do we break that mold?
      • How do younger generations or less experience gain respect to have ideas heard to ability to make decisions? 
      • What happens if you truly have a great idea and the partner doesn’t implement it?
    • Is this something that can be fixed/changed overnight?
      • What does a process or program look like?

    Great Podcast!

    Not a farmer but most of my customers are. This podcast gives me the ability to create more conversations and helps build relationships with them. You guys are helping more than just farmers in being profitable!

    Commercial – Estates Concaves

    • Working to help stop rotor loss (saves up to $30k per 1000 acres of soybeans)
    • Increase profitability by being able to combine faster
    • Less grain damages
    • XPR2 Concave – one concave for all your crops

    • What’s Working in AG – Geringhoff Product Launch
      • Iowa sales rep – Jon Schrandt
        • Geringhoff updates

    Main topic – Helping Stubborn Farmers work together

    • Guest – Andy Junkin
    • God given life mission of PREVENTING other farmers from being faced with family frustrations. I found out I had a natural gift to mediate family situations and disputes. In 2010, I opened an office in Western Ontario and over the past decade have been able to help farmers in over 21 states and four Canadian provinces. For many years, you could say I lived the lifestyle of a “missionary priest,” driving 70,000 miles a year all across North America, helping family farms. Together with his wife (Bernadette) he bought a little farm Iowa and the good Lord blessed us with two and a half children (stork coming Christmas 2021) with an amazing marriage. Bernadette is a key driver of the business from behind the scenes and together we are determined to help as many farms as possible. 

     

    • So, this episode will be a little bit broad because we know not all farms have multigenerational connections, but that is where this stems from.  The situation of dad/grandpa still calling all the shots and the next generations not getting to do much.  But truly, how do we make it to where we work well with other and where others work well with us?
      • He has a hip surgery story to tell
    • Think about this for a minute.  
      • How much time is wasted or misused to argue about a choice during the day?
      • How many times do you leave feeling unheard or unhappy?
        • Ultimately, what do you think this does for profitability?
    • You need to understand you goals and needs of the farm.
      • Grandma – Milk Pitcher Story
        • Why is this important?
          • Many ways to Milk a cow analogy
        • How do we do this?
          • A – B – C 
    • Can we fix all the family problems forever?
      • The goal is to fix how your family resolves problems
    • What does it mean to you to “Bullet Proof” your farm?
      • Is it important to establish specific roles?
        • Does this leave open opportunity for frustration because someone isn’t “doing their job”?
    • How can fixing the family farming relationship lead to success and growth?
    • What are some tips to be able to separate farm emotions from family?
      • The ability to disagree at “work” but still have supper together cordially.
    • We’ve always done it this way……how do we break that mold?
      • How do younger generations or less experience gain respect to have ideas heard to ability to make decisions? 
      • What happens if you truly have a great idea and the partner doesn’t implement it?
    • Is this something that can be fixed/changed overnight?
      • What does a process or program look like?
    • When you first meet with a business, farm, family…..What does your process look like?
    • To you, what does or will success look like? – 300%
    • We all know life and farming comes with challenges.  What would you say to the listener who doesn’t even know where to start right now?

    What’s Working in AG – Advanced Agrilytics (Burkhart Foundation Winner of AD Package)

    • Jason Kohorst – Precision Agronomist for Advanced Agrilytics located around the Carroll, Iowa Area
    • Kent Lingbeil – Lead Agronomist for Advanced Agrilytics for the state of Iowa 
    • Advanced Agrilytics was formed out of a necessity to understand the environments in a field at a sub-acre level and understanding how that environment impacts the plant. The founders developed a system that provides farmers an opportunity to maximize productivity and return on investment throughout a farm enterprise. Today, Advanced Agrilytics is expanding rapidly to provide its agronomic technology services to even more customers and is based out of Indianapolis, IN.
    • Our approach to zone management is anything but arbitrary. Our Hex-Grid approach uses 70 hexagon-shaped data points per acre to better identify problem areas and proactively manage in-field performance. Our main focus is identifying in-field environments and managing those environments on a sub-acre level.
    • We are having grower meetings across the state of Iowa in late June, and that is one of the main points we want to make sure to cover, aside from the nuts and bolts of our business. 
    • At the end of our short time, one tidbit that we want to include is that we are "delivering on the promise of precision agriculture."

    Main topic – Talking Tire Technology and Soil Compaction

    • Guest – Scott Sloan
      • Scott is from the Des Moines, Iowa Area and a graduate of the University of Northern Iowa. He is currently the ‎Ag Product Manager/Global LSW for ‎Titan International, Inc.  Scott has worked for Titan for over 21 years and is with us today to talk all things tires!
    • Soil Compaction
      • Generally, a good soil contains about 25 percent water & 25 percent air by volume. This 50 percent is referred to as pore space. The remaining 50 percent consists of soil particles. Any wheel traffic that reduces pore space results in a dense soil w/ poor internal drainage & reduced aeration. 
    • How does compaction hurt a crop yield or potential?
      • Compacted soil has smaller pores and fewer natural channels, water infiltration is drastically reduced. 
        • This causes greater surface wetness, more runoff, increased erosion, and longer drying time. 
      • Wet fields delay planting and harvesting and decrease crop yields. 
      • Plant roots don't grow well in dense soil. 
      • Inadequate moisture and nutrients reach the plant, and yield is reduced.
      • In years when soil moisture is plentiful, the impact on crop growth may not be obvious. With moisture shortage, plants on compacted soil stress more easily, and reduced growth and yield are noticeable.
    • Do soil types matter when it comes to compaction?
      • Generally, the smaller the soil particles, the more compaction reduces the yield.
    • What impact does soil moisture have on compaction?
    • What implement does the most compacting?
      • Planter
      • Tillage
      • Grain cart
      • Something else?
    • Equipment trending heavier or lighter?
    • What is the advantage of having the “tire guy” come out and weigh your equipment?
      • Load & inflation tables….
    • Can you run lower PSI in any tires?
      • What are the consequences?
        • Any risks?
      • Older planter tires?
        • Older tires in general?
    • What does lowering the PSI in a tire do?
    • How do you know when your PSI is too low?
      • Or too high?
    • How do we determine tire sizes? Front vs back
      • Tractors
      • Combines
      • Sprayers
      • Implements
    • What advancement in technology led to exploring lower PSI or compaction options?
    • Any systems available that change tire pressure on the go?
      • What about changing from road travel pressure to in field pressure?
    • Where is tire technology headed?
      • Airless?
      • Would helium make the tractor lighter?
    • What types of compaction are created by an inappropriately inflated tire?
      • ISU study about the front tire 8310R less than the planter tires – rear worse
      • Crown or a cone – what shape does it make?  Mushroom? Tear drop?
    • No-til vs strip til vs full til
      • Does this have an effect on the susceptibleness of a field to compaction?
    • Should we be more concerned about compaction at the surface or deeper compaction levels?
      • To some extent, shallow compaction at depths of 12 inches or less can be remedied. Deep compaction cannot be corrected, however, and it causes reduced yields.
    • What is your take on the performance advantages of:
      • Tires vs Tires with new technology
      • Tires vs tracks
      • 2 tracks vs 4 tracks vs 2 tracks and 2 tires

    • Listener Review: @185Jacob – It’s a good podcast
    • BW Fusion – continued support with upcoming from the field update
    • Geringhoff – Head of the class, no matter the crop……..partnering with the head of the class, no matter the podcast guest!....maaayyybbeee…. we’re still building our skills and working on that

    General Topic – Are the people surrounding you causing frustrations? – Humble Hungry and Smart

    • Introduce Guest
    • The Ideal Team Player – Book by Patrick Lencioni – A Leadership Fable about the Three Essential Virtues
      • Is this book about three things that make the most successful farmers the most successful?
    • Let’s take the setting of this book out of the corporate world and apply it to farming and agriculture!
      • We often talk about whether someone is a ‘team player’. In interviews, performance reviews, or while sharing feedback.  Everyone agrees that being a team player is extremely desirable in an employee or vendor that a farmer does business with. 
      • We all in our minds have a definition of a team player, what’s yours?!
    • According to Lencioni, a team player has three characteristics. Further, Lencioni states, when a team member significantly lacks one or more of these virtues, the process of building a cohesive team becomes hard, and in some cases, impossible. 
      • So in the words of your farm.  If you or a member if your team (family, employees, advisory team, or vendors) don’t share these attributes or aren’t working to grow them…..you’re less likely to succeed.
    • Virtue #1 – Humble
      • This is by far the most obvious and easiest to understand. 
        • Humility in a team member shows up as a lack of excessive ego, or concerns about personal status. 
          • Whoofta – who just thought of that salesman/buyer that you don’t like working with…..acting like their shit don’t stink
          • Probably also just thought about someone you know who always seems to genuinely care when you meet them for a conversation
        • They are quick to share credit, praise others freely, and sometimes even forego credit due to them in the interest of celebrating the team’s collective win. 
          • I’m thinking of an agronomist we just interviewed….even though he made the suggestions, he’s going to celebrate you when your production results come in.
        • They demonstrate strong alignment towards the team’s goals, and prioritize collective wins over individual ones. 
        • Humble team players are self-confident, but not arrogant. A memorable quote that summarizes this indispensable attribute is:
          • “Humility isn’t thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less.”
          • Note-Be careful: People who are insecure sometimes discount their own talents and thereby appear humble. People whose sense of self-worth is extremely deflated often end up hurting the team by being very passive. They don’t advocate for their ideas, nor call out the team’s inadequacies.
    • Virtue #2 – Hungry
      • Hungry: Hungry people are always looking for more.  (just like our listeners)
        • They are intrinsically motivated, diligent, and have a strong desire to do more by going above and beyond. 
          • I think of most of these to be business owners.  I find in farming it is rare to find an employee that will go above and beyond for the benefit of their employer’s farm.  I know they exist, just think it is rare.
        • Hungry people do not have to be pushed by their managers to perform; they are constantly looking for more responsibility, and thinking about the next step and the next opportunity (for the team).
          • Who do you know, or just popped in your head right now as we described it?
            • Do you work with them already?
            • Can you hire this person?
          • Note – be aware: Some people can be ‘hungry’ in a selfish way, and that is extremely detrimental to team health. Hunger driven by selfishness causes individual goals always trump collective team goals.
    • Virtue #3 – Smart
      • Smart: By ‘smart’, the author here refers to emotional intelligence and interpersonal awareness
        • The capability to conduct oneself in a group situation and deal with others in the most effective way.
          • Jen Hartman talked about this….some people just “get it” 
        • Emotionally intelligent people ask good questions, listen to what others are saying, and stay engaged in conversations intently. 
          • In-laws “Grumpy Dan” vs “Happy Dan”
          • We all have landlords like this……some get it and others appear mean-heartless
        • Smart people exercise great judgment and intuition around the subtleties of group dynamics and are fully aware of the effect their words will have on the team.
          • Note- watch out: ‘Smart’ness does not always imply good intentions. Watch out for ‘smart’ people who are in it for the wrong reasons.
    • What happens if you or someone doesn’t have all three?
      • The accidental mess-maker: You know that team member who is wicked smart, motivated and always bubbling with great ideas, but very often ends up rubbing others the wrong way? 
        • This person is Humble and Hungry, but not Smart!
      • The skillful politician: That engineer who is everyone’s friend and confidant, and knows the perfect thing to say every time. He’s motivated, eager, and ambitious, but only where there’s an element of personal benefit 
        • The skillful politician, who is Hungry and Smart, but not Humble!
      • The lovable slacker: He cares about everyone. He’s charming and always positive. He is technically capable, dependable, and is a solid member of the team. But — he does only as much as he is asked to do, and is rarely proactive with seeking newer areas of work. 
        • The lovable slacker, who is Humble and Smart, but not Hungry!
      • The bulldozer: A powerhouse, he is determined to get stuff done, but with a focus on his personal achievements with little concern for his team. He neither knows nor cares how his words impact the people around him. 
        • A bulldozer who’s Hungry, but neither Humble nor Smart.
    • Yada Yada Yada, right?  I still don’t think this matters to my little ol farm….. or it’s dad’s farm and I am just working here until he retires.
      • This matters in so many areas.  Employees, the network around you, and the way you conduct yourself.
        • How do I grow my farm?  
          • Maybe by emitting these characteristics while serving on a board.  Meeting a future landlord and earning their trust.
          • Maybe you develop a relationship with a cattle or hog buyer.  Get a trusting relationship that gets the most for your animal through mutual respect.
          • Building trust in general….that’s how you learn about opportunities 
            • We all know a famer/rancher that seems to get into the win/win opportunities, do they possess these characteristics?
    • Any other pieces of information to share with our listeners?
      • What do you see your top producing or top tier of clients doing? –Common traits

    General Topic – Carbon Credits

    Introduce Guest

    • Ben Gordon -- Intro -- Carbon and Ecosystem Service Portfolio leader at Corteva. Ben has been with Granular for nearly three years after a career in management consulting, technology, and the military. He grew up in North Dakota surrounded by agriculture and today is with us to talk about carbon credits.

    Buzz words for sure flying all over Ag Twitter and FarmTok. Carbon Credits – the modern day gold rush. US farmers can now get paid for removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere by storing it in their soil. 

    • What does this mean?
      • Carbon cycle circle
    • Is this a new thing?
    • Why is this a buzz word or topic now?
      • Is the carbon being captured physically measurable or is it assumed?

    What’s in it for me, the farmer?

    • How much are we talking? – per acre/ per year
    • How do we know we aren’t getting ripped off?

    How does my farm qualify?

    • Cover crops, tillage practices, crop diversity, organics, manure -- Does one practice earn me more money than another?
    • Any rule of thumb on dollars per acre per practice?
    • What about pasture ground grazed by livestock?
    • Can we still sequester carbon with the use of synthetic “N”?

    Why is it only farms that have changed a practice that qualify?

    • Why won’t the farmer who has been using cover crops or no-till farming qualify even if they have done it for years?
    • Are there costs to qualifying?

    What do we need to prove this?

    • Historical records?
    • What happens if something changes?  Who audits this?
    • What if I install tile, does that tile plow count as tillage? Does this cause a problem?
    • Can we carry forward unsold carbon credits to the next year?
    • Could the weather change the way carbon is sequestered and possibly alter a contract?

    Do you think this is going to take off?

    • Is the juice worth the squeeze for the time involved? When prices were low maybe, but now they are higher?
    • Do we have any clarity on how carbon credit programs might fit in with other state-level carbon programs such as “low carbon value added products” like biofuel

    Do you see us being able to stack multiple outcome payments? 

    • i.e. Carbon + Water Quality

    Who are the major players buying these carbon credits?

    • What is their advantage to buying carbon credits? Reputation, financial, tax?

    Is this like a cable TV contract that I can’t get out of?

    • How long is the contract for?
    • What if my practices change each year?
    • Is this just a “conspiracy” plan to try and get farmers to adjust their practices?

    o   Burger King only wanting lemon grass fed cattle

    o   Chipotle cage free chickens

    o   Future companies only wanting from farmers in this program?

    Since this sounds like a lot of work, are there any solutions that make this simple for our listeners?

    • Nori operates a marketplace where CO2 in soil is calculated, verified, and carbon credits are issued for sale. The carbon credits are purchased by businesses and individuals that want to pay for the removal of the CO2 they emit into the atmosphere. Granular provides easy access to the Nori marketplace by collecting and storing the data required to participate.

    How do you know which program to trust?

    • Granular has the data management program to help you keep good organized records

    What are the risks?

    • Can I get sued if something is wrong?
    • Penalties?

    Is there a cost to the farmer to work with Granular?

    • How do we keep large retailers from getting their “piece” of the pie?

    General Topic – Busting the Top 3 Planting Myths

    • Introduce Dr Mary Gumz
      • Dr. Mary Gumz · @drgumz. Agronomy Manager for Pioneer Hi-Bred. Packer fan and Star Trek nerd. Amateur nematologist.
      • https://granular.ag/plant21/
    • Alright, it is time to do some myth busting.  Hopefully today we discover or uncover something that will immediately bring value or more profit opportunities to your farming operation.  Let’s attack the most common planting myths out there.
    • Let’s focus on corn and soybeans today for the sake of time. 
    • First off Planting Date
      • List myth here 🡪 Always plant corn before soybeans
        • Does this really matter? 
        • Which crop should be planted first?
        • Besides paying attention to the calendar, what should we be paying attention to
          • How do we know if it’s fit to go? – watch the neighbors
        • Any tests with results that present proof to bust the myth?
    • Next myth - Planting Depth 
      • List Myth here 🡪 Shallow planted corn will emerge faster and obtain higher yields
      • Again, with a focus on corn and soybeans what is the proper planting depth
        • What conditions would cause this to change?
          • Cold = shallower
          • No moisture = deeper
          • Others?
      • We learned about planter technology in the previous show that allows seeds to be evenly spaced.  Also, that down force and up force has been created to make sure planting depth is consistent.  This is obviously important.
        • But why is it important?
      • How do you check planting depth
        • How often should you be checking it?
    • Last Myth -Planting/Seeding Rate
      • List Myth here 🡪 The seeding rate should be the exact same from year to year
      • O boy, this is going to open up a can of worms.
        • Farmer vs merchandiser
          • We’ve heard the potential for corn is 600 bu/ac from the bag
          • We’ve heard the potential for beans is 200+ bu/ac from the bag
            • Farmers just screw this up.
        • What is the standard population for corn and beans?
        • Do retailers push this number higher to sell more seed?
        • Profitability battle when trying to reach higher yields – can raise more but does it costs your farm more too?
      • #LowpopMafia
        • Challenging the populations on the lower sides in both corn and beans
          • Does changing your population change your planting date?
          • Does this show more up in variable rate scripts?  Or blanket lowering?
          • Are their instances we want to increase population?
      • Recommendations on how farmers can get their own trials set up and analyze their own data?
      • Any other pieces of information to share with our listeners?
      • What do you see your top producing or top tier of clients doing? –Common traits

    What’s Working in AG – (Ag Venture)  - Germ Testing –Vigor Testing and Hybrid Selection

    • Introduce Guest
    • Having an agronomy team you can rely on all year round matters why?
    • Do you recommend to your clients to have their seed hybrids sent for germ testing or vigor tests?
      • What’s the difference between germination and vigor?
      • Vigor testing does not only measure the percentage of viable seed in a sample, it also reflects the ability of those seeds to produce normal seedlings under less than optimum or adverse growing conditions similar to those which may occur in the field. Seeds may be classified as viable in a germination test which provides optimum temperature, moisture and light conditions to the growing seedlings; however, they may not be capable of continuing growth and completing their life cycle under a wide range of field conditions. Generally, seeds start to lose vigor before they lose their ability to germinate; therefore vigor testing is an important practice in seed production programs.
      • It’s important to know
    • How are these tests done?
      • Cold test
      • Accelerated Aging
      • Electric Conductivity
      • Anything else?
    • Can this testing be done of the farm or does it need to go to a lab?
    • How should we use these results?
      • Hybrid planting date
      • Hybrid population
      • Field selection by soil type or geography
    • What if the Spring doesn’t show up like we had planned?
      • How can we use the data we have from germ testing to make changes?
    • Any other suggestions to share with our listeners?

    Planting/Planter Segment (HTS Ag)----What could farmers be doing to plant additional profit in to each acre this spring?

    • Introduce the guest.  - Adam
    • Here we are at the end of February.  If we haven’t put much thought into the planter yet, what are the most important things we should make sure to check before planting?
      • Worn out bushings and parallel arms
    • What kind of planter technology and advancements are on the market today?
      • Advancements in downforce
      • High speed planting seems to be popular.  Are farmers upgrading to plant faster or for the better singulation?
      • Row Clutches
      • Advancements in variable rates and hybrids
    • What are some tips, most already know, but we should cover about planting field conditions?
    • What about in season service?  Have there been any advancements in helping a farmer out in the middle of spring?
      • Mobile/Virtual
    • Know anything about Autonomous Planting?  Any opinions of where you think it will go?
      •  – Sabanto  
      • We see and hear about them but haven’t really seen much promise of it becoming widely adopted.
    • Anything else you’d like to share with the listeners?
    • Tillage Segment (Deere)---What’s new and available for producers spring?
      • Intro – Tillage Man Sam
      • What are some of the latest advancements in tillage equipment for seed bed preparation?
        • Vertical Tillage
        • Speed Tillage
          • Finishing with a harrow or rolling basket or something else?
      • John Deere-TruSet Technology
        • Late last year, Sunflower introduced the SF6830 Series high-speed rotary finisher. By adjusting the angle at which these blades engage the soil, the operator has more exacting control of the tool and can match soil conditions and ground speed of the implement to achieve a smooth, even seedbed with every pass.
        • The new tillage tools incorporate John Deere’s precision control, TruSet Technology, which lets you make on-the-go depth and down-pressure adjustments from the cab. You can fine-tune the implement with 0.1-inch adjustments with just the touch of a button.
        • And, the TruSet system provides the ability to execute prescriptions and document the tillage operation. So, you can run variable-depth tillage prescriptions to incorporate residue at different levels across the field or change the depth of tillage for different conditions such as lighter soils or areas of known compaction.
      • Alright, maybe we can’t go out and buy new.  What should we be thinking about this winter to get our tillage tools ready for Spring?
        • Bearings, sweeps, common wear points?
      • What’s next? – What have you seen coming down the pipe?
      • For a culture that is working to award farmers for no-til or minimum tillage operations through carbon credits….what makes it still necessary?
      • LSW vs tracks 
        • MFWD but with 4 tracks
      • What do you see your top producing or top tier of clients doing?

    What’s Working in AG – Next Level Ag – Understanding what is going on in your field

    • Bodie Kitchel is the National Director of Agronomy at Biodyne-USA and is also the owner and Regional Business Director for Next Level Ag
      • Starting in 2015, Next Level Ag has been testing soil and plant tissue samples, analyzing the results, and converting them into valuable information - all while keeping the farmer’s perspective at the forefront.
    • Understanding soil tests
      • Soil test results can be complicated and confusing to read, but they don't have to be. Next Level Ag has developed a unique approach in measuring Physical/Chemical/Biological aspects in the soil and displaying them in a format that keep the grower's perspective, not a chemist's.  
    • In Season Management
      • Utilize many different tools and methods to gather your info
        • Drones 
        • Sampling (Soil and Tissue)
        • Boots on the Ground
        • Satellite Imagery
    • 365
      • A dashboard to view each field and watch the progress it is making
        • View and track sample records
      • Managing your crop like you would an investment in the stock market
      • Use this to help understand the why behind the what
    • End with a tease about wanting to understand biologicals in more detail
      • Future episode will focus
        • understanding our soils and how some functions of biology work with plants
        • unlocking potential and then feeding that potential
        • improving overall efficiencies

     

    Main Topic – Future of Ag (Crossover)

    Tim Hammerich  is a former National FFA President and a graduate of the University of California, Davis with a degree in Crop Science and Management. He also completed the Masters of Agribusiness program at Kansas State University. Tim spent the first eight years of his career as an agricultural commodity trader and manager, where he developed a background in trading, management, sales, strategy, business development and risk management. He and his family reside in Eagle, Idaho. 

    Tim was one of the founders of AgGrad and is now the Senior Director of Strategic Communications for Congent Consulting.  He is also someone I would consider a mentor and friend, but the main reason he is with us today is…. He’s the host of the Future of Agriculture Podcast.  This show explores the people, companies, and ideas shaping the future of agribusiness and what is what we want to explore today – the future!

    • As we focus on the profitability of our farms today. How do you see the advancement of technology affecting profitability?
    • What have you noticed are challenges of companies starting out and looking to improve agriculture?
    • When a startup succeeds what have they done right?
    • What fuels your passion to continue with the future of Ag podcast?
    • What do you look for when thinking about or coordinating a guest for a podcast episode?
    • Back to the focus on profitability.  Thank you for sharing with us a couple of companies you think might have a big impact on profitability. Let’s start with Rantizo……
      • Can you tell us a little about Rantizo?
      • What’s the advantages of their equipment?
      • What can they apply with their drones?
      • What are some obstacles they need to overcome or have surpassed?
      • Their company strategy is unique. How are they targeting the expansion of their market?
      • Do you remember the costs to get operational for one and what the life span is?
    • Alright, so we explored a business venture that a listener could look into. How about exploring the company you introduced us to called CoverCress.  
      • What is this plant? Combination or crossbred?
      • Is this a gmo plant?
      • Now this is a leap forward in technology that could have a major impact on profitability.  What are the uses?
        • New crop, livestock feed, feed stock for bio fuels, cover crop, genetic engineering technology
          •  But how could those impact a farmer’s bottom line? 
      • Where can this be grown?
      • How do they plan to harvest it?
      • What’s the timeline for implementation and wide spread adoption?
    • Let’s get a bit geeky with the next one.  Introduce us to FarmWave-Harvest Loss
      • Can you explain What Google glass is and how its involved in AG?
        • What’s Farmwave-HarvestLoss using this technology for? Plant diseases?
      • Do they have future applications or plans in the works?
      • What about Harvest Loss - using some of the same technology?
        • How does this set up?  Work on all combines?
        • Could be used for sprayers too right?
      • As you’ve explored the future of Ag....how do you think a majority of farmers feel about AI?
    • We’ve talked on shows before about creating your niche. The “something about yourself and your farm that sets you apart.  Can you explain how Pristine Gourmet did this?
      • That episode reminded us about being diversified. Can you remember how they worked to become diversified?
      • What kind of sacrifices have you seem commonly made with your guests to be successful?
    • What do you think the future for the Future of Ag looks like?
    • What do the most successful farmers or business leaders have in common?
    • Summary
    • Challenge
    • Closing
      • Remind the listener to leave a comment if this episode brought them value.  Ask them to like, leave a review where they listen, and share with their friends.  They can always send topic ideas to farm4profitllc@gmail.com

    Main Topic – Future of Ag (Crossover)

    Tim Hammerich  is a former National FFA President and a graduate of the University of California, Davis with a degree in Crop Science and Management. He also completed the Masters of Agribusiness program at Kansas State University. Tim spent the first eight years of his career as an agricultural commodity trader and manager, where he developed a background in trading, management, sales, strategy, business development and risk management. He and his family reside in Eagle, Idaho. 

    Tim was one of the founders of AgGrad and is now the Senior Director of Strategic Communications for Congent Consulting.  He is also someone I would consider a mentor and friend, but the main reason he is with us today is…. He’s the host of the Future of Agriculture Podcast.  This show explores the people, companies, and ideas shaping the future of agribusiness and what is what we want to explore today – the future!

    • As we focus on the profitability of our farms today. How do you see the advancement of technology affecting profitability?
    • What have you noticed are challenges of companies starting out and looking to improve agriculture?
    • When a startup succeeds what have they done right?
    • What fuels your passion to continue with the future of Ag podcast?
    • What do you look for when thinking about or coordinating a guest for a podcast episode?
    • Back to the focus on profitability.  Thank you for sharing with us a couple of companies you think might have a big impact on profitability. Let’s start with Rantizo……
      • Can you tell us a little about Rantizo?
      • What’s the advantages of their equipment?
      • What can they apply with their drones?
      • What are some obstacles they need to overcome or have surpassed?
      • Their company strategy is unique. How are they targeting the expansion of their market?
      • Do you remember the costs to get operational for one and what the life span is?
    • Alright, so we explored a business venture that a listener could look into. How about exploring the company you introduced us to called CoverCress.  
      • What is this plant? Combination or crossbred?
      • Is this a gmo plant?
      • Now this is a leap forward in technology that could have a major impact on profitability.  What are the uses?
        • New crop, livestock feed, feed stock for bio fuels, cover crop, genetic engineering technology
          •  But how could those impact a farmer’s bottom line? 
      • Where can this be grown?
      • How do they plan to harvest it?
      • What’s the timeline for implementation and wide spread adoption?
    • Let’s get a bit geeky with the next one.  Introduce us to FarmWave-Harvest Loss
      • Can you explain What Google glass is and how its involved in AG?
        • What’s Farmwave-HarvestLoss using this technology for? Plant diseases?
      • Do they have future applications or plans in the works?
      • What about Harvest Loss - using some of the same technology?
        • How does this set up?  Work on all combines?
        • Could be used for sprayers too right?
      • As you’ve explored the future of Ag....how do you think a majority of farmers feel about AI?
    • We’ve talked on shows before about creating your niche. The “something about yourself and your farm that sets you apart.  Can you explain how Pristine Gourmet did this?
      • That episode reminded us about being diversified. Can you remember how they worked to become diversified?
      • What kind of sacrifices have you seem commonly made with your guests to be successful?
    • What do you think the future for the Future of Ag looks like?
    • What do the most successful farmers or business leaders have in common?
    • Summary
    • Challenge
    • Closing

    Main Topic : Small changes to make a big difference

    HotRod Farmer Intro:

    We are extremely pleased to have the “Engine Man” with us today.  Although some may refer to him as the Hot Rod Farmer he is the host of the Idle Chatter Podcast, creator of farmmachinerydigest.com, and now the host of Machinery Digest Radio!  Ray Bohacz is a sweet corn farmer from Warren County, New Jersey with a knack for writing.  Here today to share with us some of his insight from over 3000 articles written about how paying attention to the 3 legs of the farm profit stool can help you be a more profitable farmer.

    • 3 Legs to the Profit Stool (Should get Equal Attention)
      • Agronomy/Animal Husbandry
      • Marketing
      • Maintenance/Equipment
    • Reminder that profit is not what you make in total, it’s what you get to keep in the end.
    • When thinking about the end of the year or the time of year.  It’s always good to reflect on how you have ran your business.
      • What went right?
      • What went wrong?
        • What can I do better?
    • Now think about this for your equipment.  Think about how this effects your profit.  What went wrong? Right, Etc
      • Very rarely if something went wrong was it….
        • Bad luck
        • An accident
        • Freak rare event
          • Most of the time it’s from neglect or “closing your eyes”
    • Talking and bragging about equipment up keep and maintenance isn’t “sexy” (except for Andy Pasztor)  We need to make it a focus, something cool to talk about, something to bring up at the coffee shop or CO-OP
      • People have a passion for high yields and selling at the top of the market.
        • Nobody brags about a good shop routine or minimal break downs
      • A lack of attention to your fleet can directly affect your profitability.
    • You can’t control the weather, have little control over the markets, and can rely on technology advancements in genetics (plant and animal).
      • But what you have full control over is how you maintain and prepare your equipment for the tasks
      • By properly maintaining equipment you minimize break downs, timely downtime, increase efficiency, and extend the life of your assets.
    • So how do we do this?  How do we get started?
      • An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
        • Make small changes to make a big difference
        • Take an ounce from 16 diff places to add up to one pound of cure
        • If you don’t know, you need to ask someone who does – HotRod Farmer Contact info
        • Find the low hanging fruit and build on it month after month
    • Examples of things covered on his show that might be helpful to start with (Low Hanging Fruit)
    • Any last comments to share with the listeners?
    • What is a common characteristic the most successful farmers you know all have in common?

    What’s Working in AG

    • Zach Smith – StockCropper - https://thestockcropper.com/
    • 1 – What is Stock Cropping?
    • Stock Cropping is a dynamic farming system that that combines livestock and crop production in the field at the same time so that multiple species of plants and livestock can coexist. This allows to grow healthier animals, healthier soils, and a lower carbon footprint.
    • 2 – How do you accomplish this?
      • We plant strips of corn and soybeans with pasture. We graze the pasture strips with multiple species of livestock in a mobile barn that autonomously moves through the strips daily throughout the season.  The animals consume our diverse pasture mix while stimulating the soil with their hooves, snouts, beaks, and microbiomes, leaving behind a rich mix of manure to feed the soil. 
      • The row crops grown in between the pasture strips benefit from this arrangement by having more access to sunlight up and down the plant canopy.  We do all of these things while giving consumers a front row seat to the show with our webcams and livestreams so they can see and participate with the production of their food. 
    • 3 – What’s the Benefit of farming this way? 
      • The end result is a diverse high quality mix of animal meats that we market and sell directly to consumers through various creative avenues allowing farmers to maintain profitability driving the sustainability of rural communities.
    • 4 – What did you learn from your first season?
    • 5 – What is your goal for the StockCropper in the future?

    What’s Working in AG

    • Zach Smith – StockCropper - https://thestockcropper.com/
    • 1 – What is Stock Cropping?
    • Stock Cropping is a dynamic farming system that that combines livestock and crop production in the field at the same time so that multiple species of plants and livestock can coexist. This allows to grow healthier animals, healthier soils, and a lower carbon footprint.
    • 2 – How do you accomplish this?
      • We plant strips of corn and soybeans with pasture. We graze the pasture strips with multiple species of livestock in a mobile barn that autonomously moves through the strips daily throughout the season.  The animals consume our diverse pasture mix while stimulating the soil with their hooves, snouts, beaks, and microbiomes, leaving behind a rich mix of manure to feed the soil. 
      • The row crops grown in between the pasture strips benefit from this arrangement by having more access to sunlight up and down the plant canopy.  We do all of these things while giving consumers a front row seat to the show with our webcams and livestreams so they can see and participate with the production of their food. 
    • 3 – What’s the Benefit of farming this way? 
      • The end result is a diverse high quality mix of animal meats that we market and sell directly to consumers through various creative avenues allowing farmers to maintain profitability driving the sustainability of rural communities.
    • 4 – What did you learn from your first season?
    • 5 – What is your goal for the StockCropper in the future?

  • Review: Just wanted to shoot you guys a message and thank you all for the podcast. I really enjoy it because it’s so relatable! @LeemsMcGeems. Kris Lehman

  • What’s Working in AG – Walkabout mother bins and Outback Wraps
  • www.outbackwraps.com
    • David Hedt (pronounced head), is an Australian born entrepreneur who has a passion for helping farmers increase their efficiency and profit for their operation. Dave grew up on a farm outside of Dimboola, Victoria in Australia. He became a diesel mechanic and worked with Volvo and Mack Trucks. Coming to the US the first time in 2000 he migrated here permanently in 2012. Building a stripmall in Faulkton, SD and then starting Walkabout Mother bins in 2015.
    • (Item #1)Walkabout Mother Bin is the missing link between grain carts and trucks
      • Helps you keep up with the combine with less labor and trucks
      • Large portable grain storage
    • (Item #2) Outback Wrap – designed to make farmers lives easier and reduce the frustrations of hydraulic hose handling and identification
      • Simple to use, no tools required, can be changed
      • Replaces old methods: zip ties, tape, ear tags
      • Color schemes that work with any color of machine
    • Use Code FARM4PROFIT to get 20% off
  • Main Topic – Using precision agronomy to positively affect your bottom line (VRT and Soil Sampling)
  • Intro: Josh Kayser, a Granular Agronomy CSA in South Dakota is joining today. Josh works with growers and Pioneer seed reps on variable rate seed, N and fertility. He also grows corn and soybeans near Emery, SD with his two brothers and his father. Kayser is also the Mayor of Emery, serves on the board for the Emery Volunteer Fire District and was a former ASA DuPont Young Leader. When not farming, Josh enjoys time with his wife and their four children. BUSY GUY! 
  • Josh, tell us a little more about how you got to where you are
    • share background and how you became CSA

    • We want to explore more options to help us achieve higher levels of profitability. 

    • Do you see the use of our current and developing variable rate technology being a way to do that?
      • Key talking points: 
        • VR equates to more profitability by:
          • better optimizing input investments (not over-applying where you don’t have the yield potential, and pushing yield on most productive ground)
          • better accounting for variability within fields
          • being able to adjust your plans to account for farming variables like weather
    • What goes into the process of getting started or set up to do VRT?
      • Key talking points: 
        • overview technology needs
        • overview who to partner with to get the support/service you need
          • start with soil sampling
          • set yield goals
          • create custom scripts
          • in-season monitoring/adjusting
    • Is it necessary to do soil sampling to get a good baseline or can you do without?
      • Follow-up Questions: 
        • Why do we soil sample anyway?
          • N P K or more? Level up?
        • How often should we be sampling?
        • What time of year should we sample?
        • What’s the best technique of sampling?
        • What determines the size of the sample or area for sample?
    • Have we really reached the point in our advancements with technology where VRT actually works?
      • Key talking points: 
        • Flat rate isn’t only uneconomical, it’s not environmentally friendly
        • As we look at how farming has changed in recent decades, we’ve transitioned to thinking about our entire farm to really focusing on the fields within the farm. Now, we’re moving towards better managing zones within fields, and in the future we’ll be managing every plant with things like drone application. Technology is allowing us to better manage in-field variables so that we can set yield targets and then put plans in place to achieve them, but it takes a different kind of management than how we farmed in the past. 
    • What makes Granular Agronomy different from other precision offerings on the market? 
      • Key Talking Points 
        • We start by creating what we call decision zones within your field. These zones are comprised of three things: 
          • Environmental response units, which take into account your soil type, field elevation, and how the field lays 
          • MYYA (Multi-year yield analysis) We utilize multiple years of yield data to determine historical areas of low, medium and high production. This layer intersects the ERUs to provide even greater clarity on yield capability.
          • Irrigation – If a field has irrigation, zones are created to denote irrigated and non-irrigated. Different yield targets can be set accordingly, and irrigated zones utilize user-entered irrigation events, including fertigation 
        • We use these decision zones when we come up with N, seeding and fertility recommendations. 
        • In addition to these zones, Granular Agronomy works with Corteva and IBM/The Weather Company to look at the past 20 years of weather history. With that, we can run scenarios so that we’re prepared to adjust plans for drought or extremely wet years. 
        • I don't just create the rec and walk away. I’m there to partner with growers throughout the season to make sure we’re adjusting to in-season variables. Granular Agronomy has more than 200 CSAs throughout the country to make sure we’re providing the boots-on-the-ground service farmers need 
        • Also included with Granular Agronomy is directed scouting from Granular Insights, which is the best satellite imagery on the market. During the growing season, it ranks which fields are changing in terms of plant health the most, so you know where to prioritize scouting efforts. 
    • How do Granular Agronomy and Pioneer seed work together? 
    • Do you have any good examples of how someone made the transition from not using VRT and now is a believer?
      • Key Talking Points 
        • Share one or two first-hand examples
        • GA has been used on millions of acres in the U.S. On average, the farmers who have used it have:
    • Boosted Profits: $27/Acre return
    • Reduced Inputs: 9 pounds less nitrogen per acre
    • Increased Yield 6 bu/A increase
    • What would you say to those who don’t think it works?
    • Any stories of mistakes to avoid?

  • Intro
  • Review: Just wanted to shoot you guys a message and thank you all for the podcast. I really enjoy it because it’s so relatable! @LeemsMcGeems. Kris Lehman
    • Remind them to leave reviews on the platform they listen on, message us on social media or send ideas to farm4profitllc@gmail.com
  • What’s Working in AG – Walkabout mother bins and Outback Wraps
  • www.outbackwraps.com
    • David Hedt (pronounced head), is an Australian born entrepreneur who has a passion for helping farmers increase their efficiency and profit for their operation. Dave grew up on a farm outside of Dimboola, Victoria in Australia. He became a diesel mechanic and worked with Volvo and Mack Trucks. Coming to the US the first time in 2000 he migrated here permanently in 2012. Building a stripmall in Faulkton, SD and then starting Walkabout Mother bins in 2015.
    • (Item #1)Walkabout Mother Bin is the missing link between grain carts and trucks
      • Helps you keep up with the combine with less labor and trucks
      • Large portable grain storage
    • (Item #2) Outback Wrap – designed to make farmers lives easier and reduce the frustrations of hydraulic hose handling and identification
      • Simple to use, no tools required, can be changed
      • Replaces old methods: zip ties, tape, ear tags
      • Color schemes that work with any color of machine
    • Use Code FARM4PROFIT to get 20% off
  • Main Topic – Using precision agronomy to positively affect your bottom line (VRT and Soil Sampling)
  • Intro: Josh Kayser, a Granular Agronomy CSA in South Dakota is joining today. Josh works with growers and Pioneer seed reps on variable rate seed, N and fertility. He also grows corn and soybeans near Emery, SD with his two brothers and his father. Kayser is also the Mayor of Emery, serves on the board for the Emery Volunteer Fire District and was a former ASA DuPont Young Leader. When not farming, Josh enjoys time with his wife and their four children. BUSY GUY! 
  • Josh, tell us a little more about how you got to where you are
    • share background and how you became CSA

    • We want to explore more options to help us achieve higher levels of profitability. 

    • Do you see the use of our current and developing variable rate technology being a way to do that?
      • Key talking points: 
        • VR equates to more profitability by:
          • better optimizing input investments (not over-applying where you don’t have the yield potential, and pushing yield on most productive ground)
          • better accounting for variability within fields
          • being able to adjust your plans to account for farming variables like weather
    • What goes into the process of getting started or set up to do VRT?
      • Key talking points: 
        • overview technology needs
        • overview who to partner with to get the support/service you need
          • start with soil sampling
          • set yield goals
          • create custom scripts
          • in-season monitoring/adjusting
    • Is it necessary to do soil sampling to get a good baseline or can you do without?
      • Follow-up Questions: 
        • Why do we soil sample anyway?
          • N P K or more? Level up?
        • How often should we be sampling?
        • What time of year should we sample?
        • What’s the best technique of sampling?
        • What determines the size of the sample or area for sample?
    • Have we really reached the point in our advancements with technology where VRT actually works?
      • Key talking points: 
        • Flat rate isn’t only uneconomical, it’s not environmentally friendly
        • As we look at how farming has changed in recent decades, we’ve transitioned to thinking about our entire farm to really focusing on the fields within the farm. Now, we’re moving towards better managing zones within fields, and in the future we’ll be managing every plant with things like drone application.

    • SingleSpeed Brewing: Brewery in Cedar Falls and Waterloo ...

    www.singlespeedbrewing.com 

    The concept for SingleSpeed Brewing was born during one of many Wednesday night group bike rides in which our founder (Dave Morgan) brought up the rear.

    Plenty of time to think back there apparently. With each ride the vision for SingleSpeed became more clear. Eventually, in Cedar Falls, Iowa, a modest 1700 SF facility, powered by a 3 BBL BrewHouse emerged. Today, our 3 BBL facility serves as our Research and Development center and is still firing out experimental ales. In November of 2016 we brought our 20 BBL brewery online, situated in the historically renovated WonderBread building in the neighboring community of Waterloo, Iowa.

    While our production capacity has changed, our goal of bringing intriguing, quality ales into your glass has not. We hope you are enjoying your ride as much as we are.

    Give Back Program

    Switchback: A term commonly used by outdoor enthusiasts such as hikers, cyclists, and trail runners.

    Sometimes the incline of the climb is just too steep. In circumstances of this nature, a series of ‘switchbacks’ zig-zagging up the hill can be used to reduce the intensity of the slope, allowing travelers safe passage to the peak.

    In an effort to help all those embarking on what is intended to be their epic climb to the top, we have established our give back Program and titled it Switchback.

    The story of Tyler Richton and the High Bank Boys isn’t easy to put on to paper. The name "High Bank Boys" comes from the body of water flowing through the bands home territory in Deep River, Iowa. The Deep River passes through the town of the same name, but the shallow stream wasn't named for its actual depth, but rather the "High Banks" that contain the river in the town and surrounding area. Known for having their practices in and around the community, the “High Bank Boys” became the perfect name for the sensational group of men that was founded there.

    While shows performed by Tyler Richton and the High Bank Boys are youthful and lively, the four members of the High Bank Boys have more than 50 years of experience playing live music combined. With this kind of dedication and devotion to country music, it's no wonder that the High Bank Boys have become the premier country band in the area. Known for being an excellent dance band as well as making the crowd feel like "one of the guys" when there's no dance floor available, the High Bank Boys are at home playing in almost any kind of venue or event.

    The musical travels of the various members of Tyler Richton and the High Bank Boys have been extensive, both before and through the formation of the current band. Music has taken them from local clubs, to fireman's dances and anniversary parties, and from the largest events and festivals to street dances in the smallest of towns throughout the entire state of Iowa. Tyler Richton and the High Bank Boys have been honored to be the opening act for Locash, John Michael Montgomery, High Valley, Sunny Sweeney, Jordan Davis and Brett Young, among others. Each performance has been a great professional achievement for them, and they anxiously look forward to the next opportunity!

    Their most rewarding experiences, however, are the looks of satisfaction on the faces of their fans during and after another great show. It’s easy to see from their following, that this group of guys and the music they play is genuinely appreciated. Tyler Richton and the High Bank Boys’ repertoire includes iconic country cover tunes, as well as original music that is written and arranged by the band. All this and more makes the High Bank Boys a danceable, partying, crowd-pleasing, energetic band that is entertaining for folks of all ages.
    While our group makes the music, it's the individuals in the band that make Tyler Richton and the High Bank Boys so unique.

    Most artists pay somebody to write a long, inflated, flashy bio about themselves, but I thought I’d just give it to you straight.

    My name is Royce John Schwienebart, or otherwise known as Royce Johns. I’m a husband, guitar picker, and singer. I’ve also written some songs on my first EP, but after coming to Nashville and really learning how a great song is written, I’d hate to call myself a songwriter just yet. But I’m slowly learning.

    I was born on June 22, 1995, in Des Moines, Iowa. I lived in Polk City for twelve years, moved to Pennsylvania for three, then moved back to Iowa in 2008 and have lived here since. 
    I don’t think I could’ve been dealt a better hand when it comes to family, my parents, grandparents, and extended family. 

    When most of my friends were into pop radio, I was sinking my teeth into AC/DC, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, and all the classic rock from the ’60s-’80s. I really didn’t have much musically in common with most people my age, and always kinda liked it that way.
    When I was 13-14, I would sit in my bedroom for hours at a time, just trying to learn the intro licks to “Purple Haze” and “Thunderstruck”. I never played in band or choir, so all my learning basically has been informal and by ear.

    I worked a bunch of odd jobs to pay my way through high school into community college. From car washes to restaurants, retail, warehouse work, car sales, direct sales, and even auto wholesale.
    It wasn’t until I was 19 that I took my guitar out of my bedroom and into the streets of Ames, Iowa.

    I started busking with the 5 songs I knew how to play, and soon found other musicians that were playing on the streets. From that, I just wanted to play every open jam that I could find, just to get into playing music. I eventually found some other guys that have been playing music for many decades that taught me about playing bar gigs. I just wanted to play guitar, but drawing the short stick in the group, I was left up to be the singer as well. That band became Lincoln Rockhouse and was a starting point for my music career.

    I’ve always been around country music with my parents and grandparents, but it didn’t really hit me until I was finishing up my time playing with my cover band Lincoln Rockhouse. Soon after, I started to find my love for the stories of Merle Haggard, Randy Travis, Keith Whitley, Waylon Jennings, Buck Owens, George Strait, Ernest Tubb, and most other popular country artists from the ’50s-’90s.

    The truth is you can tell a lot about a man by what he keeps in his back pocket - a useful pocketknife, a lucky coin, a worn out photo from an old love that has never died. Whatever it is, even if it wound up there by accident, there's a story behind it. A story that probably won't come out until you are in the right place, talking to the right people, with the right beer in hand.

    Located in the Iowa River Landing in the beautiful Coralville, Iowa, we are German inspired and hand crafted. There's a Backpocket beer perfect for every person, every occasion and, most importantly, every story.

     

     

     

    Slingshot

    Dunkel Lager

    What’s not to love about Dunkels? Rich and malty with a balanced sweetness, this easy-drinking lager is a year-round favorite. With a nutty, bready aroma, all hop characteristics are mellowed out to create a smooth, drinkable beer.

     

    Gold Coin

    Blonde Lager

    Light, simple and drinkable, this golden blonde lager was one of our first beers, and it’s stuck around for good reason. It’s crisp, refreshing and simply delicious.

     

    Murderhorn

    Belgian Golden Ale

    Even before your first sip, the nose of this Belgian golden ale packs a punch. Dominated by yeast fruit notes, all hop aromas are buried under a balanced flavor and aroma. The dry finish with a touch of boozy heat, rounds out this golden ale.

     

    Raygun

    IPA

    We’ve created this juice bomb of an ipa, graciously hopped with citra and mosaic hops to give a tropical aroma and bold citrus flavor. Gary approved.

     

    Hawktoberfest

    Marzen Lager

    What more needs to be said. Fall, tailgating and the smooth malt of oktoberfest-style beer just make sense together. When the season hits, fill your fridge and coolers and enjoy the wonders of Fall in the Hawkeye state. We promise Hawktoberfest will pair perfectly with all of it.

  • @benhaminaustic – Pastor Ben, CCA

    • Religion can form a very strong network of support, how can a sense of community help in a situation such as the Derecho?

    Religious communities in general - I’m going to say, particularly the Christian church - is unique in all the world. Where else will you find a group of people called to self-sacrificial love, modeled after Christ- Who laid down His very own perfect life for the benefit of sinners… for the benefit of His enemies!

    Even if they do this poorly, you won’t find this out in the world!

    The writer of Hebrews tells the reader to gather together to stimulate one another to love and good deeds and to encourage one another.

    The early church in Acts - in the face of a hostile culture and government - shared everything, even through severe persecution. They were joyful! 

    We all remember 1 For 13 - the love chapter, love is patient, love is kind, long-suffering, doesn’t boast, etc. But have you considered that 1 Cor 13 follows 1 Cor 12? And what is in 12? Paul is telling the church that EVERYONE has gifts, and they’re all needed like parts of a body. He’s talking to a dysfunctional church, by the way. He’s saying, none is more important than another, but all are needed. So how do you bring this diversity of people together from chapter 12? Love. Chapter 13. If I speak with tongues of men and angels, but don’t have love? I’m just noise. Even if I give away all my possessions, if I don’t have love I don’t gain a thing.

    So, to summarize and bring this back around. How can a religious community help? These are the people that will love you and you will love. These are people to serve and be served by.

    In hard times, the only thing as powerful as being served… is serving others. And serving one another in view of how Christ served? It’s the ultimate loving community. No room for pride, but there’s room for everyone.

    If you haven’t found this to be true, go out and find this community. It’s out there. We’re out here. And we have room for you. These are the people that will pray for you and love you.

    o   If our listener is feeling pretty bad, down and out, lost, etc….do you have any hope you can provide them?

    First off, you don’t hope for something you already have. You only hope when you’re in need. So, hope only exists in need. If you’re in need, then there’s hope!

    Hope is so human! Every good story has a crisis in the plot. Then somewhere from the doubt and despair, hope emerges! Hope floats, as they say. The greater the crisis, the greater the hope, the greater the victory.

    If hope requires a crisis… if it exists in need, don’t diminish the crisis, don’t downplay the need. Don’t numb or dull the pain. Embrace the crisis.

    §  What does it mean to have hope?

    Hope is celebrating the trials, knowing that they bring perseverance, which brings proven character, which brings more hope. (Romans 5:3) From a Christian point of view, if God was able to raise Christ from the dead… if His promises of future glory are true, how can hope disappoint? He not only gave the example of Christ persevering, He gave assurance of that reality through resurrection! Death, sickness, my own failure, and certainly not a derecho can stop that kind of hope! What is this life? It’s just a proving ground!

    We recognize it’s a mess here. It’s been that way from the beginning. Sometimes it seems unfair (Job). Sometimes it just seems hopeless. Mankind has been in this difficult situation for all his existence, but there’s hope! And it’s beautiful! The wildflowers and crops grow on the cow turds and decaying plants.

    §  Any key verses to remember to help power through harvest?
    I have two.

    My favorite is from Job 5:7. Job has lost everything and he’s sad and angry, sitting in the ashes of his estate full of sores. His terrible friends come to sit with him and make him feel better, but they just keep telling Job he must have done something terrible to deserve all this. And his friend Eliphaz says, “For man is born for trouble as sparks fly upward.” No truer words were ever spoken. Hey, life is hard. As sure as the sparks fly up from a fire, man is born for trouble.

    The second came from my senior pastor. Galatians 6:9 - Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.

    Put them together - Life is hard, but don’t lose heart in doing good. We’ll harvest in due time if we don’t grow weary.

    o   What are some good resources for those in need through the church in general?

    The greatest resource I can recommend is just any old friend. Start reaching out. Find a friend. Search #agtwitter and start following people. My friend, Kyle Samp at @mocornfarmer is a great follow. Sow Hope and Hank Wade are others. Seriously, I have found the best little community here on Twitter.  Follow me or just send me a message at benjamin austic. 

    The second, of course, is a local church. If it’s truly doing what the church was put here to do, then it is the community that God has designed to provide for all your needs. I serve in a Southern Baptist Church, but any denomination has resources.

    Third, if you’re not interested or you’re hesitant to look here, if it comes to suicidal thoughts, the suicide hotline is (800) 273-8255. Don’t wait. There’s hope, you may not believe it but you can get to the place where you can. Persevere. Keep moving forward. Don’t let suicide be the end of your story.

    o   What could you say to the person who doesn’t think this is them or doesn’t think the religious community can help?

    If the objection is previous hurt:

    I’ve said before, and I’ll say again… if all of the people who have been hurt by church, showed up at church on a given Sunday, we couldn’t hold all the people. I understand. But the church of Jesus is a place that is healing, not hurting. Opening up to people makes you vulnerable, but it’s necessary. Don’t lose heart!

    Being disconnected from a body leads to death. Cut off your finger and see how long it lives! You’re the same way. You need to be connected in order to maintain a faith. You need the blood that pumps through the rest of the body. They need you, as well.

    o   What can we do to help others who are battling all forms of stress and anxiety?

    Ask people. Don’t be afraid of the weird question- are you doing okay? You’ll be shocked at how many people around you want to be asked that question. Also, don’t be afraid to ask how you can be praying for someone.

    Be sensitive. Hurting people can be prickly. They may lash out. Be kind. You don’t have to respond to everything. Love is patient and kind. It doesn’t respond in anger. Be understanding. You’re not a doormat when you do this, you’re showing them a kindness— one that we’ve all been shown.

  • @benhaminaustic – Pastor Ben, CCA

    • Religion can form a very strong network of support, how can a sense of community help in a situation such as the Derecho?

    Religious communities in general - I’m going to say, particularly the Christian church - is unique in all the world. Where else will you find a group of people called to self-sacrificial love, modeled after Christ- Who laid down His very own perfect life for the benefit of sinners… for the benefit of His enemies!

    Even if they do this poorly, you won’t find this out in the world!

    The writer of Hebrews tells the reader to gather together to stimulate one another to love and good deeds and to encourage one another.

    The early church in Acts - in the face of a hostile culture and government - shared everything, even through severe persecution. They were joyful! 

    We all remember 1 For 13 - the love chapter, love is patient, love is kind, long-suffering, doesn’t boast, etc. But have you considered that 1 Cor 13 follows 1 Cor 12? And what is in 12? Paul is telling the church that EVERYONE has gifts, and they’re all needed like parts of a body. He’s talking to a dysfunctional church, by the way. He’s saying, none is more important than another, but all are needed. So how do you bring this diversity of people together from chapter 12? Love. Chapter 13. If I speak with tongues of men and angels, but don’t have love? I’m just noise. Even if I give away all my possessions, if I don’t have love I don’t gain a thing.

    So, to summarize and bring this back around. How can a religious community help? These are the people that will love you and you will love. These are people to serve and be served by.

    In hard times, the only thing as powerful as being served… is serving others. And serving one another in view of how Christ served? It’s the ultimate loving community. No room for pride, but there’s room for everyone.

    o   If our listener is feeling pretty bad, down and out, lost, etc….do you have any hope you can provide them?

    First off, you don’t hope for something you already have. You only hope when you’re in need. So, hope only exists in need. If you’re in need, then there’s hope!

    Main Topic

    • Tips for negotiating with land lords, suppliers, buyers, and everyone else.
    • Negotiation expert Matthias (Ma-Tie-Us) Schrannerwas originally trained by the police and the FBI as a lead negotiator for high-stakes situations. For the past 15 years, he and his team at the Schranner Negotiation Institute have been advising clients including the UN, global corporations and political parties in difficult negotiations.
    • He teaches the executive seminar series Negotiations on the Edge and is the author of books such as The Negotiator, Negotiations on the Edge and Costly Mistakes, and The Schranner Concept® as well as numerous articles and other publications.
    • Matthias Schranner advises business and government leaders in over 40 countries, including the US, China, Russia and Japan. His proprietary Schranner Concept® is used by numerous Fortune 500 companies worldwide to succeed in difficult negotiations.

    General Questions

    • Can anyone become good at negotiating?
    • What does it take to be good at it?
    • How can I become good at asking questions?
    • What is the best way to start a negotiation?
    • Fish on the table
    • What are smart tradeoffs?
    • How does body language play into the negotiation? 
    • Farmers rely heavily on trade agreements negotiated between governments.  Let’s not talk party sides but focus in on President Trump’s negotiation style.  Is it a style? 
    • Can his style be effective?
    • What is the 51/49 rule, why is it important?
    • Is this the same as never split the difference?
    • Are win-win deals really losers?
    • Are there any sure-fire tips you can provide the listeners to improve their skills?
    • 5 key tips everyone needs to know
    • Do you have any exciting stories what would grab the listener’s ear?
    • Is there anything else our listener needs to know about negotiating?

     

    Situational Questions

    • Negotiations with someone who we believe has the upper hand. 
    • Negotiating with landlord who owns the farm ground.  The idea is that owner could rent it out to any other farmer in the neighborhood if we don’t pay their price (which is probably too high).  Control over a land base is key in agriculture and the reason many over pay cash rent on land.
    • Negotiations with Ag retailers who provide chemicals, fertilizer, seed, and more.
    • Negotiations with a salesperson who usually doesn’t have the final say.  Most of the time is a large company with what appears to be set prices.  Farmers just succumb to what is offered thinking it’s their only option.
    • Negotiations with AG product purchasers.  How do we get more money for the products we produce?
    • Most farmers don’t sell directly to the consumer, so they market their product to processors.  These can be grain elevators or meat packing facilities that have a combination of price x weight component with a basis factor for delivery and end product.  How can we negotiate the sale to ensure we aren’t leaving any money on the table in the end?
    • Negotiations with friends who also sell a product or provide a service.
    • Agriculture is a tight knit group.  More than likely the people you buy from in your network are also your friends.  We don’t want to hurt their feelings, but also know the key to our future is to be a profitable farmer.
    • Negotiations with family for time and labor.
    • The common question around the AG world is how to balance farm and family.  Our observations are some farmers feel guilty for spending more time on their work than their family.  We believe there should be a balance, but balance doesn’t always mean equal.  Most of the time the feeling of guilt comes from misrepresented expectations or abilities.How do we more effectively win discussions/conversations/negotiations about where our time is spent with family?

    What’s Working In Ag

    1. The importance of better weather data and why BAMWX has better data
      1. Bamwx.com
      2. @BAMWXCOM
    2. How does better data leads to farmers making better decisions?
    3. The value of having access to your own meteorologist….
      1. Why?
    4. How do farmers get a hold of them and get signed up?

    Introduce Guest-------Loran Steinlage @FLOLOFarmers

    It’s that time of year, if you haven’t been incorporating covers on your farm you are seeing the neighbors flying them on,

    inter-seeding, and getting their deliveries and so on. So, we wanted to talk with an expert today to try and answer some of

    the question you might have.

     Start with Definition: Cover Crops: Various crops grown between the harvest of row crops, like corn or

    soybeans and planting of the following year’s row crop to cover the soil, reduce nitrogen loss through plant

    uptake and phosphorus loss through reduced erosion.

     Why do you think cover crops aren’t the unanimously decided practice for every farm?

     When considering implementing cover crops on my farm what are some of the challenges I may face?

     Is this something I need to plan ahead for? How much planning goes in to a successfully managed cover crop

    program?

    o When putting a plan together, what are somethings I would need to consider? Goals of that cover crop….

     Now sell me on it, what are the benefits of implementing cover crops?

     So we know what the challenges are I may face and you just shared the benefits, what about putting dollars and cents

    to the project? Is there a positive ROI to using cover crops? Can you provide an example?

     

     Farmers will be able to easily calculate return on investment for cover crops with a new online tool.

    It will help farmers decide whether or not cover crops work for their operation.

     Iowa State University’s Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program (SARE)

     The tool shows farmers’ estimated annual net returns of cover crops under a variety of scenarios.

     The tool was created in Iowa but can be used in any U.S. state.

    o “Since the tool allows the user to create his or her own scenario using their own data it can

    be used by any farmer in the U.S. to evaluate the net returns to cover crops in a corn-

    soybean rotation,” he says.

     

     Select state, then region, then cash crop, then custom or not applied, burn down or not, expected

    crop price. – hit submit – spits out a chart to customize

     https://www.card.iastate.edu/conservation/economics-of-cover-crops/net-returns-calculator/

     As a farmer working with cover crops, do I have to foot the entire bill to the programs? Are there ways to help with

    the upfront costs?

     Ok, so now you’ve sold me on starting. How do I know what to choose, where to start, etc….?

    o Resources available?

    o Cover Crop Decision Tree

    o https://practicalfarmers.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Cover-Crop-Decision-Tree-and-Seeding-Only.pdf

     Anything else you think the listener should hear?

     What do you have to say to the person who thinks “this will never work”?

     We ask every guest, what do you believe or have observed is the greatest characteristic or trait of the most successful

    farmers you know?

     Summary

     Challenge

    What’s Working In Ag

    1. The importance of better weather data and why BAMWX has better data
      1. Bamwx.com
      2. @BAMWXCOM
    2. How does better data leads to farmers making better decisions?
    3. The value of having access to your own meteorologist….
      1. Why?
    4. How do farmers get a hold of them and get signed up?

    Introduce Guest-------Loran Steinlage @FLOLOFarmers

    It’s that time of year, if you haven’t been incorporating covers on your farm you are seeing the neighbors flying them on,

    inter-seeding, and getting their deliveries and so on. So, we wanted to talk with an expert today to try and answer some of

    the question you might have.

     Start with Definition: Cover Crops: Various crops grown between the harvest of row crops, like corn or

    soybeans and planting of the following year’s row crop to cover the soil, reduce nitrogen loss through plant

    uptake and phosphorus loss through reduced erosion.

     Why do you think cover crops aren’t the unanimously decided practice for every farm?

     When considering implementing cover crops on my farm what are some of the challenges I may face?

     Is this something I need to plan ahead for? How much planning goes in to a successfully managed cover crop

    program?

    o When putting a plan together, what are somethings I would need to consider? Goals of that cover crop….

     Now sell me on it, what are the benefits of implementing cover crops?

     So we know what the challenges are I may face and you just shared the benefits, what about putting dollars and cents

    to the project? Is there a positive ROI to using cover crops? Can you provide an example?

     

     Farmers will be able to easily calculate return on investment for cover crops with a new online tool.

    It will help farmers decide whether or not cover crops work for their operation.

     Iowa State University’s Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program (SARE)

     The tool shows farmers’ estimated annual net returns of cover crops under a variety of scenarios.

     The tool was created in Iowa but can be used in any U.S. state.

    o “Since the tool allows the user to create his or her own scenario using their own data it can

    be used by any farmer in the U.S. to evaluate the net returns to cover crops in a corn-

    soybean rotation,” he says.

     

     Select state, then region, then cash crop, then custom or not applied, burn down or not, expected

    crop price. – hit submit – spits out a chart to customize

     https://www.card.iastate.edu/conservation/economics-of-cover-crops/net-returns-calculator/

     As a farmer working with cover crops, do I have to foot the entire bill to the programs? Are there ways to help with

    the upfront costs?

     Ok, so now you’ve sold me on starting. How do I know what to choose, where to start, etc….?

    o Resources available?

    o Cover Crop Decision Tree

    o https://practicalfarmers.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Cover-Crop-Decision-Tree-and-Seeding-Only.pdf

     Anything else you think the listener should hear?

     What do you have to say to the person who thinks “this will never work”?

     We ask every guest, what do you believe or have observed is the greatest characteristic or trait of the most successful

    farmers you know?

     Summary

     Challenge

  • Answer questions
  • What’s working for Ag – listener or farmer feedback
  • 1) Pivot Bio PROVENTM is predicable – the microbes adhere and colonize on the roots and apply nitrogen every day. Synthetic nitrogen turns to gas, leaches, washes away and is not always in proximity to the roots and, therefore unavailable to the corn. Because it sticks to the roots and works every day – it is highly predicable.
    2) Pivot Bio PROVENTM is productive – light, sand soils and fields with sloping topography tend to lose more nitrogen. Most field have many soil zones and varying topography and therefore crop productivity varies widely across a field. Because it adheres directly to the roots – Pivot Bio PROVENTM levels out crop productivity across a range of conditions.
    3) It’s weather proof – rain does not wash it away as with synthetic nitrogen.
    4) All of these factors add up to improved ROI – and ROI is mission critical for growers.
  • Introduce Guest
  • At Farm4Profit one of our favorite things to do is inspire others to achieve their goals, build their farm or business, and help you generate higher levels of profitability.  Whether you are young or old, I want to encourage you to grow or start your business and achieve your dreams. 
    • The most important thing to remember is that, no matter your age, if you are alive, you can achieve more.  Keep working towards your goals, work hard, stay hungry, and remember to be great.
  • These episodes are all stemming from the feedback of our “how to grow your farm” show.  That is #24 if you didn’t catch it.  We have now talked about becoming a better leader #25, how to market your farm for growth #26, the right way to build your referral network in #27 and now today we will talk about how having a strong business acumen can benefit your farm and set it up for growth.

    • Elliot Uphoff. @elliotuphoff. (Shelby County, IL)

    • Side jobs are great with helping cash flow problems and also allow you to invest more money back into the farm.  I will continue to run side businesses until my operation is large enough that it can provide for my family but still then I’ll probably keep doing jobs that are sure money
    • For small farmers like myself diversity is key.

    The people you admire don't have it figured out, and that's okay.

    • You’ll be graced with instant clarity and acute focus. We see others who look like they have it all worked out. They seem successful, they have the perfect social media posts, but in the real world, we are all just figuring it out. Well into your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and even 60s, things are still evolving and falling into place. 
    • Life is an evolution of changes; you can reinvent yourself and change your mind at any time, and it’s okay. Learning who you are is a lifelong journey and a radical adventure at that.

    Success Comes To Those Who Work

    • Alec Amundson. @alamudson  (Osage, Iowa)
      • We joke that we have good lights on our equipment because we do most of our farming at night.
      • Takes some planning ahead for not only inputs, but transportation and picking kids up 
      • I would say it’s generally hard to run an ag related business at the same time as farming, but things that can be done off season, ie hardware installation, soil sampling, fertility prescriptions, etc. allow you more time in the cab during the busy seasons.
    • Every single time that you put in work, you get a proportional amount of results and successes from that work.  
    • The more work that you put in, the more success that occurs in your life, the more happy coincidences occur, and the more you realize that you achieve.
    • You begin to create your own luck

    Sales and Negotiation Are Important Skills To Learn

    • Sales is one of the most important, most essential skills that you will learn in your life
      • It allows you to convey not only your products, but also your ideas to others in a way that makes them enthusiastic about it too.  
    • Learning not just to “sell,” but also to communicate with people in a way that makes them interested in an essential skill, not just in business, but also in life.
    • “Never Split the Difference” is a book on negotiations
    • Negotiating is a talent that can be built up with practice.
      • When running a business it gives you more practice to get better for the farm.

    Follow Up, Follow Up, Follow Up

    • Schedule out your follow up
    • Figuring out when you should touch base with prospects, clients, and referrals next.  
    • This helps not only increase sales, but also develop a better relationship with my clients and vendors.

    Manage Your Time

    • Jeremy Williams @Wills_Bros_Farms (Martinsville, IL)
      • We ran our custom business until it was costing us time and efficiency on our own farm by being away spraying for someone when we need to take care of our own farm
      • Be sure it benefits your farm moving forward and holding you back from profit on your own farm by having a side business
    • Another thing that we have found essential to the success as a business owner is managing your time correctly.  
    • It can seem tiring, confusing, and unorganized at times but you need to understand how to create a schedule 
      • Use a calendar or app for tasks, a to-do list for the morning that you write before you go to bed, and form habits that help you achieve success.
    • Having a clear vision will help make prioritizing things easier.  Do what is most time sensitive or important first rather than the easiest task first.
    • The biggest key to running virtually any business successfully is your ability to concentrate most of your time and effort on the activities that will bring in the most money. That means that you have to minimize the time spent on routine functions.

    It takes a village.

    • Chad E West @dylangreico (Central Iowa)
      • I think one of the most important things in running my business is doing business with people who are looking out for your success and not just trying to sell you something.  I always say I deal with people not companies. I have an agronomist that I really enjoy working with if he calls tomorrow and says he's taking a job at a different company I'm going with him no questions asked.
      • I always say if I was already doing business with you and I took a box of seed away from you and you had done nothing wrong and your seed performed great would that be right?
      • I find that that loyalty has really been beneficial over time
    • You won’t ever be able to know it all 
      • Assemble an amazing team,
      • Find the right partner. 
      • Fill your gaps
    • Starting and growing a company means learning to delegate.
    • Commit your partnership agreement to writing. Partnerships don’t always work out, so you have to have written procedures on how to run the business, how to settle disputes, and if necessary, how to handle the departure of one of the partners.
    • If you’re a sole proprietor, the partnership issue won’t apply to you directly. But anytime you start a business, you will be involved in all kinds of loose and informal partnerships with people you need to rely on. They can be suppliers, vendors, contractors or even major clients. Choose them all wisely, understanding that a bad relationship has the potential to sabotage your business.

    Burned bridges stay with you for life.

    • Luke lauritsen @lauritsen4440 (Arlington NE)
      • Relationship ... People do business with people they trust no matter what the person is selling or service they are providing...
    • When you work for yourself, you realize how important all relationships are. A burned bridge will stay with you forever, and you quickly learn forgiveness is the most essential tool for success. Who can you forgive today?
    • Your beliefs aren't as important as your behavior.
      • Your beliefs and values are important to you, but how you act and talk to others about what you believe in is more important than the actual belief. 
      • Treat others with kindness and respect no matter how different their views are. 
      • Contrast can bring clarity.
    • However, the more you believe in yourself, the less you need others to. 
      • You don’t need to lean on others for support. When you have a dream or goal, the most important thing is that you believe in yourself. 
      • People are going to tell you it can’t be done, but when you connect with your own dreams, you will be unstoppable.

    OVERHEAD CAN KILL YOU.

    • Impressive features, like premium office space, high end furniture, expensive pictures on the walls, and a streaming live quote system. All that stuff costs money, and when you start a new business, that’s something that’s in short supply.
    • When you start a business you have to think “shoe string”, and that means finding less expensive ways to do everything. It might even mean doing without a few things. 
    • Businesses fail for a lack of positive cash flow more than anything else. The sooner your business starts generating that positive cash flow, the greater your chance of business success. 
      • You can give yourself a big, fat advantage by determining from the get go that you won’t spend money on stuff you don’t absolutely need.

    Continue To Explore New Ideas

    • @Brentfwells Brent Wells. (Fonda, Iowa)
      • I had to go work somewhere else for 5 years before I came back to the farm. Part of it was to make sure I saw what else was out there, and to gain knowledge from other businesses.
      • I learned a great deal about managing people, assets, and cash flow. Sometimes I tell people my story and they make the comment “too bad you wasted all that time getting your MBA just to come back and farm”. I just laugh. It has helped me look at the farm as business and make the right decisions for my operation rather than doing what everyone else is doing.
    • If you don’t keep your mind open to new ideas, your business isn’t going to be able to evolve with the market.  
    • Your business needs to be ahead of the market, and in order to do that, you need to continue to explore new ideas, new concepts, new ways to do business
    • Your competition is a poor metric for success, because they are who you are competing against.  Copying won’t get you ahead.  The best it can do is tie you for first place, not advance you ahead of who was first place.
    • Success Is Ever Evolving.  Most people want to accomplish more.  

    MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SOME PAYING CUSTOMERS First

    • Before you actually start a business, you might want to test it and treat it more like a side hustle. 
      • Test it out with your network. 
      • Find out if you actually have something that people are going to pay money for on an ongoing basis.

    Sometimes not getting what you want is the biggest blessing of all.

    • Austin @auswms. (SW Minnesota)
      • Its helped diversify our risk. It increases the labor needs, but brings added revenue all year.
    • @marioncofarmer 
      • A side business is a big help on farming as it helps soften the blow when stuff goes south
    • Everything is part of a larger plan. You quickly learn that rejection is actually protection.
    • Running a business keeps you close to the ground and you get a firsthand feel on what is working and what isn’t

    No one cares as much about your business as you do.

    • Think of a business like a baby. Relatives will adore it. Strangers will smile at it. But no one will hover over it, protect it and deeply connect with it like its mother. Yes, owning your own business is like that. No one – not employees, partners, customers or friends – will have the same passion for your company's success as you do. Ever….

    Business ideas that others have done.

    Side Job Ideas Others Have Shared

    • Mechanic, Tow Truck Driver, Selling Real Estate, Modeling, Tax Preparation, Writing, School bus Driver, Cleaning/Detailing, Tree Removal Service, Heavy Equipment Operator, and more!
    • Summary
    • Don't judge books by their covers, especially if you think they have it all figured out.  Work hard as being the best farmer you can be and learn along the way.  Becoming a savvy negotiator will pay dividends and remember to make sure you follow-up in every situation.  The more you do, the better you will become at managing your time and you will also realize the benefits of having a strong network around you.  Take care of that network and don't be afraid to try new things.  Just because something doesn't go your way doesn't mean there isn't something to learn from the situation.

      • It allows you to convey not only your products, but also your ideas to others in a way that makes them enthusiastic about it too.  
    • Learning not just to “sell,” but also to communicate with people in a way that makes them interested in an essential skill, not just in business, but also in life.
    • “Never Split the Difference” is a book on negotiations
    • Negotiating is a talent that can be built up with practice.
      • When running a business it gives you more practice to get better for the farm.

    Follow Up, Follow Up, Follow Up

    • Schedule out your follow up
    • Figuring out when you should touch base with prospects, clients, and referrals next.  
    • This helps not only increase sales, but also develop a better relationship with my clients and vendors.

    Manage Your Time

    • Jeremy Williams @Wills_Bros_Farms (Martinsville, IL)
      • We ran our custom business until it was costing us time and efficiency on our own farm by being away spraying for someone when we need to take care of our own farm
      • Be sure it benefits your farm moving forward and holding you back from profit on your own farm by having a side business
    • Another thing that we have found essential to the success as a business owner is managing your time correctly.  
    • It can seem tiring, confusing, and unorganized at times but you need to understand how to create a schedule 
      • Use a calendar or app for tasks, a to-do list for the morning that you write before you go to bed, and form habits that help you achieve success.
    • Having a clear vision will help make prioritizing things easier.  Do what is most time sensitive or important first rather than the easiest task first.
    • The biggest key to running virtually any business successfully is your ability to concentrate most of your time and effort on the activities that will bring in the most money. That means that you have to minimize the time spent on routine functions.

    It takes a village.

    • Chad E West @dylangreico (Central Iowa)
      • I think one of the most important things in running my business is doing business with people who are looking out for your success and not just trying to sell you something.  I always say I deal with people not companies. I have an agronomist that I really enjoy working with if he calls tomorrow and says he's taking a job at a different company I'm going with him no questions asked.
      • I always say if I was already doing business with you and I took a box of seed away from you and you had done nothing wrong and your seed performed great would that be right?
      • I find that that loyalty has really been beneficial over time
    • You won’t ever be able to know it all 
      • Assemble an amazing team,
      • Find the right partner. 
      • Fill your gaps
    • Starting and growing a company means learning to delegate.
    • Commit your partnership agreement to writing. Partnerships don’t always work out, so you have to have written procedures on how to run the business, how to settle disputes, and if necessary, how to handle the departure of one of the partners.
    • If you’re a sole proprietor, the partnership issue won’t apply to you directly. But anytime you start a business, you will be involved in all kinds of loose and informal partnerships with people you need to rely on. They can be suppliers, vendors, contractors or even major clients. Choose them all wisely, understanding that a bad relationship has the potential to sabotage your business.

    Burned bridges stay with you for life.

    • Luke lauritsen @lauritsen4440 (Arlington NE)
      • Relationship ... People do business with people they trust no matter what the person is selling or service they are providing...
    • When you work for yourself, you realize how important all relationships are. A burned bridge will stay with you forever, and you quickly learn forgiveness is the most essential tool for success. Who can you forgive today?
    • Your beliefs aren't as important as your behavior.
      • Your beliefs and values are important to you, but how you act and talk to others about what you believe in is more important than the actual belief. 
      • Treat others with kindness and respect no matter how different their views are. 
      • Contrast can bring clarity.
    • However, the more you believe in yourself, the less you need others to. 
      • You don’t need to lean on others for support. When you have a dream or goal, the most important thing is that you believe in yourself. 
      • People are going to tell you it can’t be done, but when you connect with your own dreams, you will be unstoppable.

    OVERHEAD CAN KILL YOU.

    • Impressive features, like premium office space, high end furniture, expensive pictures on the walls, and a streaming live quote system. All that stuff costs money, and when you start a new business, that’s something that’s in short supply.
    • When you start a business you have to think “shoe string”, and that means finding less expensive ways to do everything. It might even mean doing without a few things. 
    • Businesses fail for a lack of positive cash flow more than anything else. The sooner your business starts generating that positive cash flow, the greater your chance of business success. 
      • You can give yourself a big, fat advantage by determining from the get go that you won’t spend money on stuff you don’t absolutely need.

    Continue To Explore New Ideas

    • @Brentfwells Brent Wells. (Fonda, Iowa)
      • I had to go work somewhere else for 5 years before I came back to the farm. Part of it was to make sure I saw what else was out there, and to gain knowledge from other businesses.
      • I learned a great deal about managing people, assets, and cash flow. Sometimes I tell people my story and they make the comment “too bad you wasted all that time getting your MBA just to come back and farm”. I just laugh. It has helped me look at the farm as business and make the right decisions for my operation rather than doing what everyone else is doing.
    • If you don’t keep your mind open to new ideas, your business isn’t going to be able to evolve with the market.  
    • Your business needs to be ahead of the market, and in order to do that, you need to continue to explore new ideas, new concepts, new ways to do business
    • Your competition is a poor metric for success, because they are who you are competing against.  Copying won’t get you ahead.  The best it can do is tie you for first place, not advance you ahead of who was first place.
    • Success Is Ever Evolving.  Most people want to accomplish more.  

    MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SOME PAYING CUSTOMERS First

    • Before you actually start a business, you might want to test it and treat it more like a side hustle. 
      • Test it out with your network. 
      • Find out if you actually have something that people are going to pay money for on an ongoing basis.

    Sometimes not getting what you want is the biggest blessing of all.

    • Austin @auswms. (SW Minnesota)
      • Its helped diversify our risk. It increases the labor needs, but brings added revenue all year.
    • @marioncofarmer 
      • A side business is a big help on farming as it helps soften the blow when stuff goes south
    • Everything is part of a larger plan. You quickly learn that rejection is actually protection.
    • Running a business keeps you close to the ground and you get a firsthand feel on what is working and what isn’t

    No one cares as much about your business as you do.

    • Think of a business like a baby. Relatives will adore it. Strangers will smile at it. But no one will hover over it, protect it and deeply connect with it like its mother. Yes, owning your own business is like that. No one – not employees, partners, customers or friends – will have the same passion for your company's success as you do. Ever….

    • Summary
    • Don't judge books by their covers, especially if you think they have it all figured out.  Work hard as being the best farmer you can be and learn along the way.  Becoming a savvy negotiator will pay dividends and remember to make sure you follow-up in every situation.  The more you do, the better you will become at managing your time and you will also realize the benefits of having a strong network around you.  Take care of that network and don't be afraid to try new things.  Just because something doesn't go your way doesn't mean there isn't something to learn from the situation.

    DFV pays tribute to Bill Sullivan, our Winemaker’s father, on every bottle. After many attempts of trying to upload the picture of him above, our computer would only return a pixelated result. However, its beauty was apparent, even if the original picture was not. This pixelated image, featured on our logo, graces every bottle and his legacy is entrenched in all we do: commitment to all that is good – being ethical, moral, and responsible to the land.

    Our Centennial farm, where DFV is proud to call home, was established in the mid-1800s by my great, great grandfather, James Sullivan, and his son, Jeremiah, who came over from Ireland. The original farmhouse, although completely modernized, still graces the property. The gazebo itself is housed in the grain silo, where the crops were stored. It is fitting that while some of our farm has a history going back to the 1800s, the remainder has a modern twist.

    I understand that we have a valuable legacy to nurture with the ability to adapt and change with the future. From my great, great grandparents who came to this area and settled this land to my, to my parents, and now my children, I cherish the generations and the land that has brought me DFV.

    I believe that my ancestors are looking down upon us and smiling. They may have questioned my endeavor in its beginning, but I think they are probably quite proud of us. 

    I have approached my wines for the last 12 years as if they were pieces of art that I was creating; painting with different flavors and structures to arrive at something layered by cohesive – letting the fruit tell its story, with its tannins and acids – and using yeasts and/or barrels to complete the dream. I start every season with a vision once I taste the fruit, the stems and the tendrils. Even when I am pruning, I am chewing the cuttings and looking for clues. Often, my yeast choices change throughout the growing season, as I detect different flavors that I want to enhance or downplay.

    In 2011, I decided to commit to making the best wine that I could, and returned to the classroom. I  attended University of California Davis, learning viticulture and enology from some of the finest in the industry.

    Just like art on a canvas, wine can incite an immense amount of feelings and emotions. It is this passion, love, joy and inspiration that I try to capture with each bottle. It is my vision, this artisan, boutique winery, which I have brought to DFV. I am excited to share DESAGACÉ and AURA ARIA with others in the near future.

     

     

     

    Lost Lake Cheese

    We are a small dairy farm and cheesery just north of Jewell, Iowa. Our goal is to make award-winning artisan cheese based on regenerative, ecological farming practices. Our farm has 20 beautiful, grass-fed cows and we milk these cows and make all of their milk into cheese right on the farm. We have been selling cheese since the fall of 2016. Kevin makes the cheese and is the primary farmer and we have one part-time employee, Josh Mechaelsen. 

    We started this farm because we'd like to see more life out in rural Iowa, this was one of the few ways we could see starting a farm from scratch, and we really love cows and cheese. Kevin started making his own cheese in 2007, we got our first cow in 2010, and we built a milking parlor and commercial cheesery in 2016. 

     

    We direct market a majority of our cheese - usually through farmers' markets in Des Moines, Ames, and Clear Lake. We ship online when it is cold out. Right now the easiest way to find our market alternatives is to head to our website. We have a cheese drop off on Saturday mornings in Des Moines and Ames and will be starting some other options when we get into Mozzarella season. We also sell at Wheatsfield in Ames and Backcountry Winery in Stratford. It's a lot for people to remember and I'll update our website to make it more clear. We do most of our communication and marketing on Facebook.  

     

    Bios

    We got married in 2006 and, with a lot of help from a lot of people, worked our way towards this farm until we were approved to sell cheese in September of 2016. Many of the details can be found below. 


    Kevin was born in Indianapolis, moved to Minneapolis when he was two, then moved to a dairy farm in central Minnesota at age seven where his family lived in a community of people living and working with mentally disabled adults. This is where he found his love for the land and for farming. He participated in 4-H, where he showed sheep and vegetables. When he was thirteen, his family moved back to the city, where he finished high school. After graduation, he went to Germany, where he did an apprenticeship in Biodynamic farming, spending one year each on three different farms. All three farms were dairy farms, ranging from eight to forty-five milking cows. All were diversified farms with dairy cows, beef cows, hogs, grain and vegetable production. Two of these farms also had on-farm dairy processing, which he helped with every day. At the culmination of his time in Germany, Kevin passed the tests necessary to become a “staatlich anerkannter Landwirt” or state certified agriculturalist. He then returned to Minnesota, where he completed a B.A. with a major in biology and met the woman who would become his wife. He worked on different farms every summer during college. While in Ithaca, New York, he worked at Cornell University as a soils research technician in a research and extension program focusing on nutrient management issues facing New York dairy farmers. After moving to Iowa, he worked for a year as a research associate with the Iowa Learning Farms, a multidisciplinary program that seeks to educate farmers and the public about conserving Iowa’s soil and water resources. He then moved to a position at Practical Farmers of Iowa as a grazing coordinator, where he worked with grazing farmers around the state of Iowa to coordinate programming, field days, pasture walks, and on-farm research projects. After  managing a 4200-head wean-to-finish hog farm for Iowa Select Farms, staying home with our two children three days a week, and planning, building, and raising capital for the farm for two years, he is now working at Lost Lake Farm full-time.

    Ranae grew up on a hog farm near Radcliffe, Iowa.  She met Kevin during college at the University of Minnesota - Morris. She spent one summer working as a veterinary assistant at a large farm in Ukraine, where she worked with dairy cattle, swine, and ostriches. She received her M.S. degree in soil science from Cornell University in 2009, where she studied nitrous oxide emissions as affected by snow cover and freeze-thaw cycles. She earned her Ph.D. in Sustainable Agriculture and Crop Production & Physiology at Iowa State University in 2014, where she studied carbon and root dynamics in prairies and corn-soybean systems. She worked as a post-doctoral research associate in the Integrated Cropping Systems Lab in the Department of Agronomy at ISU for five years. Ranae now works as an Agronomy Data Scientist for Syngenta in Slater, Iowa. Please feel free to mention Golden Harvest and/or NK as worlds greatest seeds with the world's best agronomists. :)

     

    Cheese

    I gave you a few different kinds - Emmentaler, Iowa Alpine, Burrnt Oak, Lost Lake Reserve Blue, and Farmstead Feta. The Feta is super salty and not for crackers, you should use it in place of salt somewhere in a salad or pasta.  If you just have time for one cheese "story" it should be the Burrnt Oak. Burrnt Oak is good on steaks and burgers because of its mushroomy flavor, but my favorite way to eat it is on salty crackers with strawberry jam and honey. 

     

    Burrnt Oak

    Burr Oak is the state tree of Iowa. Our Burrnt Oak, an ashed Camembert, has charcoal through the middle and around the outside. The charcoal is made from a 200 year old Burr Oak tree that used to stand overlooking the Lost Lake of Lost Lake Farm. The tree blew over in a wind storm, so we turn it into charcoal, grind it to a fine dust, and put it in the cheese so people can eat this 200 year old piece of Iowa. Ashed cheeses are a traditional method from small farms. It was once common to make half of the batch, pour the curds into the molds, then cover everything with ash to protect it from the flies until the next milking and the next half of the batch could be made. The new curds would be spooned over the ash layer and the whole wheel would also be covered with ash to protect from flies while the wheels were flipped and left out to drain more whey. We make a Camembert without charcoal in the same batch and it's interesting to taste the difference as the charcoal itself is tasteless, but creates a different microbial environment that changes the flavor of the cheese.

     

    Farming Practices

    The unique things about our farming practices are that our cows don't eat any grain. We don't get super high milk yields, but we also don't have to buy any corn. We also keep the calves with their moms for up to five months and only milk once a day. This saves us labor on milking and caring for calves and we still get as much milk as one guy can make into cheese.  

     

    More farming stuff from the website:

    At this point, we have not applied for third-party certification from anyone. This means we are not certified organic, grass-fed, natural, or any of the other labels you may find on food. We do, however, follow our own rigorous standards in line with our goals to improve the land we are on, have healthy, happy animals, and provide pure and simple delicious cheese. We welcome any questions on our farming practices. 


    Soil
    We strive to keep all of our soil in place and to improve the health and productivity of that soil. We do that by keeping the soil covered and keeping living roots in the ground at all times. Most of our farm is covered in perennial plants in diverse stands. We manage our grazing to maintain high amounts of residual left after grazing, and allow adequate recovery time between grazings, which allows the root systems to also grow deep. We do occasionally till, in order to make a good seed bed for annual forages and to prepare for new diverse perennial seedings. We do this tillage at a time when it can be re-seeded as quickly as possible, so the soil is not bare for very long. The only external inputs are from purchased hay, straw, and cattle minerals. The manure and bedding is made into Biodynamic compost before being spread back onto the land.

    Grass and Forage

    We do not spray pesticides, herbicides, or any other synthetic chemicals.

    Our pastures are in diverse grass, legume, and forb mixes. In the flat, well-drained cropland areas we seed these mixtures in with a drill, and in the hilly, treed areas it is a combination of the existing plants and some clovers that we have broadcast seeded on top of the soil. In order to maintain the quality and quantity of forage for the dairy cows, we also sometimes seed mixes of annual forages such as sorghum-sudangrass, turnips, and millet for grazing in the hot, dry summer months when the perennial grasses slow down their growth. We manage the forage stands by moving the cows to a new part of each pasture twice a day, using portable electric fencing. This way, the cows only graze each area for a short while, not overstressing the grass, leaving behind potential parasites, and always getting fresh, high-quality grass. This kind of grazing, when well-managed, also encourages diversity, healthy roots, and healthy soil.

    Cows

    We currently milk around 20 cows and are also raising heifers, calves, and a few steers. Our cows are various breeds, including Brown Swiss, Jersey-Holstein crosses, Normande crosses, and New Zealand Frisians. Most of these cows we have raised on the farm from birth or young age. Our philosophy on animal husbandry is to manage lifestyle and nutrition of our animals such that they will be happy and healthy, and require minimal treatments or interventions. We do on rare occasions treat animals with antibiotics when it is the best choice for them to recover quickly and to reduce suffering. We do not strive for high milk production, rather for high-quality milk from healthy, happy animals. The cows are on pasture 24 hours a day when grazing is possible, and in open-air, bedded pack during the winter months when grazing is not possible. Starting in January, 2017, our animals are 100% forage-fed – meaning we do not supplement their diet with any grains or other feeds. They do get salt and minerals free-choice. They always have access to well water close by.

She received her M.S. degree in soil science from Cornell University in 2009, where she studied nitrous oxide emissions as affected by snow cover and freeze-thaw cycles. She earned her Ph.D. in Sustainable Agriculture and Crop Production & Physiology at Iowa State University in 2014, where she studied carbon and root dynamics in prairies and corn-soybean systems. She worked as a post-doctoral research associate in the Integrated Cropping Systems Lab in the Department of Agronomy at ISU for five years. Ranae now works as an Agronomy Data Scientist for Syngenta in Slater, Iowa. Please feel free to mention Golden Harvest and/or NK as worlds greatest seeds with the world's best agronomists. :)

     

    Cheese

    I gave you a few different kinds - Emmentaler, Iowa Alpine, Burrnt Oak, Lost Lake Reserve Blue, and Farmstead Feta. The Feta is super salty and not for crackers, you should use it in place of salt somewhere in a salad or pasta.  If you just have time for one cheese "story" it should be the Burrnt Oak. Burrnt Oak is good on steaks and burgers because of its mushroomy flavor, but my favorite way to eat it is on salty crackers with strawberry jam and honey. 

     

    Burrnt Oak

    Burr Oak is the state tree of Iowa. Our Burrnt Oak, an ashed Camembert, has charcoal through the middle and around the outside. The charcoal is made from a 200 year old Burr Oak tree that used to stand overlooking the Lost Lake of Lost Lake Farm. The tree blew over in a wind storm, so we turn it into charcoal, grind it to a fine dust, and put it in the cheese so people can eat this 200 year old piece of Iowa. Ashed cheeses are a traditional method from small farms. It was once common to make half of the batch, pour the curds into the molds, then cover everything with ash to protect it from the flies until the next milking and the next half of the batch could be made. The new curds would be spooned over the ash layer and the whole wheel would also be covered with ash to protect from flies while the wheels were flipped and left out to drain more whey. We make a Camembert without charcoal in the same batch and it's interesting to taste the difference as the charcoal itself is tasteless, but creates a different microbial environment that changes the flavor of the cheese.

     

    Farming Practices

    The unique things about our farming practices are that our cows don't eat any grain. We don't get super high milk yields, but we also don't have to buy any corn. We also keep the calves with their moms for up to five months and only milk once a day. This saves us labor on milking and caring for calves and we still get as much milk as one guy can make into cheese.  

     

    More farming stuff from the website:

    At this point, we have not applied for third-party certification from anyone. This means we are not certified organic, grass-fed, natural, or any of the other labels you may find on food. We do, however, follow our own rigorous standards in line with our goals to improve the land we are on, have healthy, happy animals, and provide pure and simple delicious cheese. We welcome any questions on our farming practices. 


    Soil
    We strive to keep all of our soil in place and to improve the health and productivity of that soil. We do that by keeping the soil covered and keeping living roots in the ground at all times. Most of our farm is covered in perennial plants in diverse stands. We manage our grazing to maintain high amounts of residual left after grazing, and allow adequate recovery time between grazings, which allows the root systems to also grow deep. We do occasionally till, in order to make a good seed bed for annual forages and to prepare for new diverse perennial seedings. We do this tillage at a time when it can be re-seeded as quickly as possible, so the soil is not bare for very long. The only external inputs are from purchased hay, straw, and cattle minerals. The manure and bedding is made into Biodynamic compost before being spread back onto the land.

    Grass and Forage

    We do not spray pesticides, herbicides, or any other synthetic chemicals.

    Our pastures are in diverse grass, legume, and forb mixes. In the flat, well-drained cropland areas we seed these mixtures in with a drill, and in the hilly, treed areas it is a combination of the existing plants and some clovers that we have broadcast seeded on top of the soil. In order to maintain the quality and quantity of forage for the dairy cows, we also sometimes seed mixes of annual forages such as sorghum-sudangrass, turnips, and millet for grazing in the hot, dry summer months when the perennial grasses slow down their growth. We manage the forage stands by moving the cows to a new part of each pasture twice a day, using portable electric fencing. This way, the cows only graze each area for a short while, not overstressing the grass, leaving behind potential parasites, and always getting fresh, high-quality grass. This kind of grazing, when well-managed, also encourages diversity, healthy roots, and healthy soil.

    Cows

    We currently milk around 20 cows and are also raising heifers, calves, and a few steers. Our cows are various breeds, including Brown Swiss, Jersey-Holstein crosses, Normande crosses, and New Zealand Frisians. Most of these cows we have raised on the farm from birth or young age. Our philosophy on animal husbandry is to manage lifestyle and nutrition of our animals such that they will be happy and healthy, and require minimal treatments or interventions. We do on rare occasions treat animals with antibiotics when it is the best choice for them to recover quickly and to reduce suffering. We do not strive for high milk production, rather for high-quality milk from healthy, happy animals. The cows are on pasture 24 hours a day when grazing is possible, and in open-air, bedded pack during the winter months when grazing is not possible. Starting in January, 2017, our animals are 100% forage-fed – meaning we do not supplement their diet with any grains or other feeds. They do get salt and minerals free-choice. They always have access to well water close by.

    • Introduction
    • SUBSCRIBE!!!!!! Then à Like, rate, review, share
    • Answer questions
    • Farm4profitllc@gmail.com
    • @farm4profitllc
    • What’s working for Ag – listener or farmer feedback
    • Teralytic.  https://teralytic.com/
    • Introduce Guest-------Laura Carlson @LauraFarms. @carlsonlaura64
    • Your input is awesome!  These episodes are all stemming from the feedback of our “how to grow your farm” show.That is #24 if you didn’t catch it.We have now talked about becoming a better leader #25, how to market your farm for growth #26 and now today we will talk about building your advisory team and referral network.
    • Ok, we’ve talked quite a bit about having an advisory team and who should be on it.  We have an early episode #3 where we talked a little bit about it, but now we introduced the idea of a referral network.  How do we actually put one of these things together??
    • First, You need to know what your goals are.
    • If you don’t know what you are looking to do with your farm, the direction, or end goal.Then how will the advisory team know what advice to give or what referral to send to you?
    • This would be a good place to create a Mission, Vision, or Value statement
    • I want my farm to financially support me and another family in 8 years
    • I want to run a sustainable farm using the latest in technology to protect the soils, my animals, and give back to the local community.
    • Second, start a list of individuals you’d like to have as an advisor to your farm.  You’ll want to start the list before asking to help visualize the strategic roles you may need. 
    • Prioritize who you’d want the most
    • Leave spaces open for people you don’t know yet (haven’t even met them)
    • It may be beneficial to have a referral from another advisor to someone without any emotional tie to your farm to give advice.
    • Think about your strengths and weaknesses.  Target the types of people that would fill your weakness gaps
    • Agronomist, banker, lawyer, insurance, retired farmer, accountant, CEO’s, management, HR, etc….. maybe seek a doubter(not always saying yes)
    • Thirdly, begin asking
    • Start with your highest of priorities
    • Make sure what you are asking for is clear
    • Share your vision
    • How often to meet
    • How big of a board
    • Team responsibilities
    • Goals/Outcomes
    • Does it pay?
    • Have a formal written request to present in print and/or e-mail to go along with a verbal request on the phone or in person.
    • This makes it so the person you are talking to doesn’t have to write a lot of notes
    • They can focus on what you’re saying and reflect back on the material you left behind
    • Be prepared to get a “no”
    • If “no”
    • Try and find out why they said no?
    • Are they too busy, your mission not clear enough, conflict of interest, etc….
    • Ask for permission to revisit your request in the future
    • Ask them for a referral to someone else they know that might be a good fit
    • Ask them for referrals whether they says yes or no
    • What do you do if they say yes?
    • Have a formal agreement in place.  Request a 1 year or 2 year term/commitment
    • You can always extend this and it can be compounding
    • Prepare a follow-up package
    • Thank you
    • Introduction to other team members(bios)
    • Give them ample notice of when the first formal meeting or request will come
    • Lastly, Prepare and Share
    • Make sure your advisory team knows your mission, vision, goals, and the characteristics of the farm.
    • When you set up for the first meeting have:
    • An agenda
    • Problems to adjust/solve
    • Road map for a productive meeting
    • Clear expectations/outcomes
    • Instructions for food/beverage
    • Get the materials out in advance and ask for questions/feedback
    • Be prepared to share financials and short falls
    • Suggestions for meetings:
    • Be respectful of time
    • Provide meals and refreshments
    • Comfortable meeting conditions           
    • Now that you have an advisory team and a network built up.  How do we turn them into referral making machines?
    • Let them know what you are looking for.
    • More ground, soil types, use for manure, custom work, staff etc…
    • Be specific. When requesting a referral, be specific in regards to what kind of referral you’re seeking.  Tell your network who your target audience is. That way, you won’t waste time pursuing referrals who won’t yield you the results you want.
    • Make referrals part of your initial conversation. When you start working with someone, ask them to agree to a simple deal. If you do a great job for them, they will tell others about it.
    • Cash in those compliments. If someone is pleased with your work, thank them, and say something along the lines of, “It’s great to hear that you are happy with your experience. Would you happen to know of others who could benefit from our services?”
    • Exceptional service. You won’t succeed at getting any referrals at all unless the quality of your service goes above and beyond the standard for your industry. Your farm should shine.
    • Mutually Beneficial - focus on trying to seek referrals for things where the value is very obvious that it’s two ways.  Custom work would be a good example.  New ground is more of a one way value to the farmer, at least that’s how it’s often viewed.
    • Develop a referral system. You get what you give. Pay it forward by providing referrals to businesses and partners yourself. People will be more inclined to give you referrals in exchange. Plus, contributing to the greater good of your community will help to bolster your reputation.
    • Integrate your referral requests with other marketing strategies. Need some ideas? Go listen to episode #26
    • Network, network, network! Try to make the most out of every networking opportunity. Plan what you will say in advance. Make it a goal to talk to at least three people at each event. Tell them about your business, pass out business cards.  They’ll likely share what they’ve learned with their friends. Try to make yourself as interesting and enthusiastic as possible—this is what people are drawn to! Once you network, make sure to follow up with a networking email to keep the lines of communication open.
    • Summary
    • It all starts with knowing your operation and what you want to become.  Be clear with yourself and others about the goals for your farm.  Identify the people you want on your team to fit and fill the weaknesses you have.  Having personality types different than yours is a great way to get the whole picture.  Create a strategy for asking them to join your team and be prepared to sell yourself to them.  Once you get a team together be over prepared for the first meeting and each subsequent meeting to keep the quality of talent needed on your advisory team around.
    • Challenge
    • Our challenge is just for you to simply start this process if you haven’t already put a team in place.  Make that list of people you’d like to network with and get referrals from.
    • If you have a team we challenge you to recruit another high profile-new face to your team for 2020-2021.
    • Reminders
    • Rate, Like, Review, Share – this one especially because it’s for more than just farmers
    • Send us your topic ideas and discussions

    FOUNDRY DISTILLING COMPANY WAS BUILT AROUND FOUR PILLARS:

    HISTORY, COMMUNITY, INNOVATION AND QUALITY.

    HISTORY

    Foundry Distilling Company was started by Scott Bush. Scott began working on Templeton Rye whiskey in his apartment in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 2002, while a student at the Sloan School of Business at MIT. Scott’s great grandfather, Frank Schroeder, was born in Templeton and was an "entrepreneur during Prohibition" who made Templeton Rye at the family farm outside of Arcadia and later Odebolt, Iowa. Scott knew of his family’s involvement in the rye trade and wanted to build a business, so he founded Templeton Rye and built it into one of the most successful brands in the new craft spirits industry. Scott sold controlling interest in Templeton Rye in 2016 and started working on Foundry Distilling Company. He chose to focus on producing and distilling authentic, high-quality spirits right here in Iowa with local input, involvement and control.

    Foundry Distilling is part of an exciting project at The Foundry building, which was constructed in 1899 and was known as the Rock Island Railroad car barn because it was originally built to repair rails cars. Other tenants at The Foundry include The Hall, a European-style beer hall, and The Kitchen, a nonprofit commissary that will provide kitchen space for food truck owners.

    COMMUNITY

    We are located is the Valley Junction area of West Des Moines, which was founded in 1846 by a man named James Jordan whose home became a stop on the "Underground Railroad." Above ground, the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad had a significant presence here as well. Today, the Valley Junction community is a thriving group of artisan shops, restaurants and galleries located along historic 5th Street in West Des Moines. We feature many events throughout the year and a popular Thursday evening farmer's market in the Summer.

    INNOVATION

    We designed Foundry Distilling Company with the flexibility to create virtually any spirit, in large or small amounts. We have our core Foundry Collection, our Heritage Collection and many other unique specialty products. We also offer spirit enthusiasts the unique opportunity to produce completely customizable private barrels of whiskey. Finally, we are collaborating with many distillers and brewers around the state and country to produce unique collaborative offerings. If you have an idea or are interested in collaborating with us, please email distillery@foundrydistillingcompany.com.

    QUALITY

    The Foundry Distilling team has been active in the spirits industry since the early days of the craft spirits movement. We have talked, worked, consulted, advised, brainstormed and/or collaborated with hundreds of people and have tried to listen and learn from these experiences. We feel that our team, equipment, processes, partners and consultants are some of the very best in the industry and that our products reflect that experience and collaboration.

    We also understand the importance of transparency with spirits production. We strive to be an industry leader in this important area, including videos showing details of production for all of our products.

    FOUNDRY DISTILLING COMPANY WAS BUILT AROUND FOUR PILLARS:

    HISTORY, COMMUNITY, INNOVATION AND QUALITY.

    HISTORY

    Foundry Distilling Company was started by Scott Bush. Scott began working on Templeton Rye whiskey in his apartment in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 2002, while a student at the Sloan School of Business at MIT. Scott’s great grandfather, Frank Schroeder, was born in Templeton and was an "entrepreneur during Prohibition" who made Templeton Rye at the family farm outside of Arcadia and later Odebolt, Iowa. Scott knew of his family’s involvement in the rye trade and wanted to build a business, so he founded Templeton Rye and built it into one of the most successful brands in the new craft spirits industry. Scott sold controlling interest in Templeton Rye in 2016 and started working on Foundry Distilling Company. He chose to focus on producing and distilling authentic, high-quality spirits right here in Iowa with local input, involvement and control.

    Foundry Distilling is part of an exciting project at The Foundry building, which was constructed in 1899 and was known as the Rock Island Railroad car barn because it was originally built to repair rails cars. Other tenants at The Foundry include The Hall, a European-style beer hall, and The Kitchen, a nonprofit commissary that will provide kitchen space for food truck owners.

    COMMUNITY

    We are located is the Valley Junction area of West Des Moines, which was founded in 1846 by a man named James Jordan whose home became a stop on the "Underground Railroad." Above ground, the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad had a significant presence here as well. Today, the Valley Junction community is a thriving group of artisan shops, restaurants and galleries located along historic 5th Street in West Des Moines. We feature many events throughout the year and a popular Thursday evening farmer's market in the Summer.

    INNOVATION

    We designed Foundry Distilling Company with the flexibility to create virtually any spirit, in large or small amounts. We have our core Foundry Collection, our Heritage Collection and many other unique specialty products. We also offer spirit enthusiasts the unique opportunity to produce completely customizable private barrels of whiskey. Finally, we are collaborating with many distillers and brewers around the state and country to produce unique collaborative offerings. If you have an idea or are interested in collaborating with us, please email distillery@foundrydistillingcompany.com.

    QUALITY

    The Foundry Distilling team has been active in the spirits industry since the early days of the craft spirits movement. We have talked, worked, consulted, advised, brainstormed and/or collaborated with hundreds of people and have tried to listen and learn from these experiences. We feel that our team, equipment, processes, partners and consultants are some of the very best in the industry and that our products reflect that experience and collaboration.

    We also understand the importance of transparency with spirits production. We strive to be an industry leader in this important area, including videos showing details of production for all of our products.

    • Introduction
      • Like, rate, review, share
    • Answer questions
    • What’s working for Ag – listener or farmer feedback (What’s working for the Boxler’s)
    • Dairy awareness month - flippy cup
    • Introduce Guest-------Nikki Boxler @NikkiBoxler 
      • Intro details……
    • We shared a lot of examples from fellow listeners during our episode about how famers had successfully grown their operations.  We then focused next on the leadership necessary to make your farm successful and now YOU have asked us to focus on marketing your farm.  We aren’t going to talk about marketing your crops, produce, products, or livestock.  This episode will talk about gaining exposure, creating a clear message, and setting yourself up for future benefits.
    • We see this going two directions.  
      • Marketing your farm for growth.  Meaning creating brand exposure and a clear message of the desire to grow your herds, flocks, land base, or customers.
      • Marketing your farm for endorsements.  Think about professional athletes with shoe deals or other farmers who have been paving the way such as Sharkfarmer, Millennial Farmer, Harmless Farmer, and our guest today Nikki Boxler….putting yourself in a position to receive something of value in exchange for advertising, endorsing, or reviewing.
    • 1st - Marketing your farm for growth
      • Some of these may cross over between the two.  How does marketing work in the corporate world?
      • Businesses focus on how to get, keep, and grow with customers
        • Marketing = building relationships, adding value, leveraging existing connections
        • Advertising = conveying a clear message
          • People buy from people the know, like, and trust
      • First, you must know who your target market is.  
        • Selling meat directly to consumer
        • Providing technologically advanced services
        • Custom farming tasks
        • Seed, Chem, Fert, Prescriptions
      • Second, what is your message going to be?  How will you separate yourself from others?
        • Experience
        • Great people
        • Quality vs Quantity of Product
          • Cadillac vs Walmart
      • Thirdly, how will you get this message to your target market?
        • Hand to Hand Combat
        • Clothing
        • Volunteering
        • Social Media
          • Paid
          • Organic Real-RAW
            • Where?
              • Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, SnapChat, YouTube – maybe use hootsuite and others?

              •  
        • Print
          • Business Cards, Mailers, Publications, Flyers, Billboard, Website
        • Other Media
          • Radio, TV, YouTube Channel and Pre-Roll, Podcast, Scroll Ads, Websites, Text ads, Emails, Newsletters
      • (INSERT) Quick Summary of the Marketing for growth section
    • 2nd - Marketing your farm for endorsements
      • If you think about the people with the most endorsements, what do they all have in common?   -   They were top of their field.  Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Serena Williams, David Beckham, Michael Phelps as athletes…. Beyoncé, Jennifer Garner, Taylor Swift, Nelly, Robert Downey Jr. Ashton Kutcher etc…etc….
        • What about you?  Do you necessarily have to be a celebrity or the best in your field to get an endorsement?
      • According to Bandzoogle.com   (Totally legit) Here are a couple suggestions
        • 1. Build a Strong Social Media Presence
          • It’s hard to get an endorsement of the company you love if they don’t know who you are. Don’t forget to share occasional facets of your personality that truly make you who you are.
        • 2. Be Open to a Variety of Possibilities
          • Maybe you’re a lifelong fan of a company or product. There is an amazing amount of boutique companies today that are easy to connect with via Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and more.
        • 3. Always Carry a Business Card & Make Yourself Available
          • Have them with you when you go to shows around the area and make connections with other professionals in the industry. There is something to be said for arriving early, talking to folks, being courteous, and sticking around to talk about their own experiences.
        • 4. Attend events/shows/social gatherings with the Intention to Make New Friends/Connections
          • The most important point I can recommend to you in your career, it’s also an opportunity to connect with the companies you adore and find out what they are planning on releasing for the upcoming year.
          • Importantly, you need to make sure you approach companies with the intention to make friends & connections, as you can probably imagine that they are inundated with requests for free gear. 
        • 5. Remember An Endorsement Doesn’t Mean Free Gear
          • The idea that an endorsement automatically meant free gear is common. However, with most companies these days operating on budgets and looking for the very best talent available, most actual endorsements just mean that they can offer you special pricing.
          • While free gear isn’t uncommon, it’s better to approach a company without the idea of “getting free gear” in mind. Because ultimately, the goal is to support a company you love and have them support you in your journey!
      • What are examples of those gone before us?
        • Zach Johnson, Millennial Farmer, is used to talking into a camera held in one hand as the other helps direct his nearly 400,000 YouTube subscribers around the farm.  Millennial Farmer from Minnesota documents his everyday on the farm.  Johnson signed up his YouTube channel for a Google AdSense account, which matches ads to a user’s site based on their content and visitors. “I think people were excited to see the combines and see what we were doing as we got close to harvest,” Johnson says. “Big machines always bring views.”
          • The MN Millennial Farmer brand now includesYouTube videos, public speaking engagements, farm tours, merchandise and the recent debut of the “Off The Husk” podcast, backed by Farmers Business Network, his biggest sponsor to date.
          • The majority of brand money comes from two main sources on YouTube: ads and sponsors. Advertisements are a part of Google AdSense and can appear before, after or in the middle of a video. Sponsorships or brand deals include paid product endorsements that appear within a video’s content.
      • Joe Gagliese is the co-founder of Viral Nation, a global influencer marketing and talent agency. He tells CNBC Make It that YouTubers are typically the highest earners of all social media channel influencers, followed closely by Instagram influencers.
        • Rob Sharkey – SharkFarmer Podcast, Radio, and TV of RFDTV, Co-Founder of FRAN
          • Rob took the approach of telling the stories of other farmers on his podcast and has used the skills he’s learned to become a good at telling stories, connecting audiences, and conducting effective interviews.   
          • He then transferred the same messages to multiple platforms to include:
            • Podcasting, Radio, TV, YouTube, Merchandise and Public Speaking.
      • Rocky Ormiston @rockorminston2 planted his fields with different hybrids in the design of his farm name, a company logos, etc….
      • Nikki Boxler – what has Nikki done?!
      • What about from the companies themselves?  What are they looking for?  We connected with a few marketing representatives in our network and asked them these questions
        • What characteristics would your company prefer a farmer to possess before considering them in an advertising campaign, endorsement plan, or for product display/use & review?
          • Authentic customer who is well respected in their local area and region, is seen as an innovator, influencer and is well connected with his/her peers and community regardless of the size of operation 
          • Trustworthy, brand loyal, have a legacy and tradition of connection to agricultural production, lawn and turf, landscaping, construction/forestry, local farmers markets/produce, livestock production 
          • Use our products, goods, services and promote the use of it within his/her local area as part of their brand and operation. 
        • What size audience does your company look for when considering a marketing decision that would involve a farmer on social media?
          • The size of the audience is not as critical as the targeted audience, regional/geographical target and segment that the product, goods or service is specifically designed for or intended to reach. 
        • Within your company’s marketing plan, what is the most common form of influencer?  Celebrity, working AG professional, hired actor?
          • The authentic real deal ag professionals
          • Real boots on the ground and in the soil operations have the most impact.
        • If a farmer has interest in becoming a spokesperson, social media influence, or product reviewer for your company; what is the best approach for them to begin the process of securing a deal?
          • We use customer testimonials in a many of our current or new product launches and promotions and we don’t hire them, it’s a partnership, it is genuine testimonials from usage of the products, goods or services within their own operations and their own claims and experiences that other colleagues can relate to. 
      • You don’t have to swing for the fences.
        • Georges Niang Former Iowa State Basketball player and now in the NBA.   He isn’t getting large sneaker deals, but made enough of an impact in central Iowa to be able to do local car dealer commercials, clothing commercials, etc….
      • You just being you
        • Align with a cause?
        • What is your passion?
        • Find what makes you unique
    • Over all summary…..
    • Challenge
      • Step out of your comfort zone.  Sometimes just asking is the biggest hurdle and can bring the biggest value.  Just because you get told no doesn’t mean you failed.  Look at the reasons why, ask them to explain why it wasn’t a yes, then learn and do better the next time.  Focus on yourself, learn what makes you awesome and run with that.  Much easier to be you for the rest of your life than to live a charade.

    Day Dream

    HEIFER WEIZEN

    Our South German Hefeweizen pours golden straw colored

    and the thick white head releases clove and banana aromas

    and a subtle fruitiness. This deliciously well-balanced wheat ale

    sips with a hint of malt and prominent _avors of spice, banana

    and clove.

    BURNOUT BROWN

    Our brown ale will get you ready to roll! Itʼs dry, smooth

    and easy to drink. Clean on the palate yet filled with malt

    and caramel flavors that are balanced with hops. Itʼs not

    too bitter making it very approachable for everyone.

    Cloud City

    Blasters ready! Prepare to protect your Cloud City NEIPA � that bounty hunter wants some for his ransom ride back to Tatooine. Cloud City is a juicy, hazy New England IPA with a trilogy of pineapple, tropical fruits and citrus notes. The unifying force of Citra, El Dorado and experimental hops delivers the fruitiness in the aroma and taste while adding a cloudy golden haze. Smooth with a hint of bitterness on the back end. Quick, hide, here comes Vader!

    We are located in Ankeny, Iowa in the old firestation, hence our name. We have been in business for 6

    years as of July 4th.

    Due to COVID-19 we are only doing TOGO sales in the beer garden Thurs-Sun 2-7pm. Be on the lookout

    for our reopening plans through our social platforms.

    Is there a community impact or philanthropic portion of the brewery you’d like us to talk about?

    BEER IS ART! This has always been our philosophy in the beer industry. The art of craft beer begins with

    a spirit of innovation, a sense of community and the desire to improve life. We enjoy creating and

    sharing craft beer because it brings people together. By appreciating the simple, yet finer things, our

    quality of life improves. Also beer is awesome!

    Where can our listeners find your beers?

    Iowa is the only place our beers are currently distributed. You can find us at Hy-Vees, Price Choppers,

    Fareways, Caseys, convenience stores, and restaurants/bars . Check out our website under WTF?

    (Where's the FIretrucker) enter your zip code and find the closest location to you, we distribute

    throughout the state!

Is your farm ready to be ran like a college sports team?

    • Introduction
    • Answer questions
      • Listener Question: Sometimes I feel like my employees have no passion, attention to detail, or motivation to do the job right.  I then have to do it myself for fix it.  Have you heard from your guests’ ways that they are dealing with this?

    • Jamie Pollard Interview
      • Jamie Pollard is in his 15th year as the Director of Athletics at Iowa State and his vision for success and energy to execute that plan continues to have major impacts on campus, in the Big 12 and nationally. 
      • The 2018-19 Cyclones recorded the Big 12’s second-best student-athlete graduation rate (88%), won three Big 12 championships and registered its best-ever finish in the league all-sports rankings (third), and saw 13 programs reach post-season play.
      • Pollard was recognized as 2019 Athletics Director of the Year by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA
      • Jamie and his wife, Ellen, have four children: Thomas, Annie, Maggie and James. Thomas was 2017 Big 12 Newcomer of the Year in cross country at Iowa State and Maggie competes collegiately in track for at Nebraska.

      • How much more fun could your “job” be if you thought of it this way?!
    • Iowa State University is having success is many sports.  To start off - What do you feel have been the key decisions made that have led to the success of the programs at to University?
      • Co-Host: Follow up with comparing the answers to how a farmer could incorporate those.
    • Nothing against other sports but for the conversation today let’s focus on a well-run football team.  Could you explain the different roles within a college football program that help it to function as whole? (Co-Hosts will help relate roles to farming)
      • Head Coach
        • Boss, Motivator, Lead Strategy, Director, Goal Creator, Burden-carrier
          • Farm/Business Owner
      • Director of Football Operations

          • Spousal support, team member with a passion, stay healthy
      • Public Relations/Marketing
        • Communication, sales, branding, specialists, visual direction
          • Who is in charge of sales on your farm?  Who recruits more acres or more business? How about person in charge of donations? Funeral Flowers? Etc…
      • Administrative/Graduate Assistance
        • Glue, organization, details, catching mistakes, sacrificing
          • Delegation, book work, accountant, advisory team
      • Players – Listener Question is about keeping good help around and motivated.
        • Buy in, hard work, respect, motivated
          • How do you keep the good ones around? 
          • How can we create culture and buy in so staff never leaves?
    • Listening to your descriptions of the staff you have, shows in order to achieve the end goal it takes the whole team.  The AD or Head Coach can’t do it all on their own, so how did you become effective with delegation?
      • One of the ways to gain trust is by giving it through responsibility
    • One way to make a business more profitable or to run a productive team is to not waste time and resources.  What are somethings you have discovered that are important to gaining efficiency or becoming the most efficient?
    • The listener question we started with had concerns about employees not caring or not giving it their all.  How do we motivate our team to give their all and put in their best efforts?
    • Unemployment has been at historical lows prior to the COVID19 outbreak.  With potential talent available in the market place now, what does it take recruit high caliber talent? What are some tips that might help farmers land and keep quality help?

    • We have shared a few leadership tips in past episodes but would like to learn from your experience a well.  What are somethings you’ve learned throughout your time in a leadership role?  Experiences that you have gained the most value from…..
    • What would you say to the listener that has doubts in the ability to run and/or grow their farm to be successful?
    • Any last comments or words of advice you’d like to share with our listeners?
    • End Pollard Interview: Thank Jamie for his time and conversation – hit the biggest point that he shared for our listeners and dismiss him.
    • Summarize
    • Challenge
      • Next time we get to watch football try to watch it differently, not in the “normal” way.
        Most people watch their favorite players or follow the ball as it moves across the field. But try to be more interested in the sidelines...
        Specifically, on the Coach.
        THAT’s who is really determining the success of the players, the team, and the match.
        Think about it…
        You’ve got your players on the field who are doing the labor-intensive work: running, passing, kicking, pushing their bodies to the absolute limits. And that’s all very important because the team couldn’t win without that physical work.
        But is it the most important work? 
        What a good team needs more than anything is a Coach guiding everyone to success. 
        They need someone looking down from a higher vantage point and making a plan that’s bigger than one play, one match, one season. 
        And it’s impossible to do that job as a player on the field. 
        It’s easy to understand this logic when it applies to football, right?
      • Who’s setting goals for the farm and making action plans to achieve them?
      • Who’s finding new ways to save money? 
      • Who’s looking at future income and expenses and managing cash flow? 
      • Who’s coaching your farmhand or workers and making sure everyone’s working towards the same goal?
        • Just imagine everything your farm could achieve in the next year if you had someone thinking about those questions…
          • How much more money you would make (and save)…
          • How much faster you would reach your goals…
          • How much stronger your farm would be...
      • If you’re starting to understand how important it is for your farm to have someone looking at the big picture, I’ve got good news. It’s easier than you think for YOU to step into the role of Coach, of Business Owner. You don’t have to do it alone, rely on your network and advisory team to get you to that championship!
    • Closing
      • Thank them for listening.

    Eric and Maria Montemagni began the journey of creating Loup River Distilling in 2016. Eric has always been interested in distillation as he dabbled in it with his college roommates. He was looking for an opportunity to add value to his corn crop and decided what better way to promote Nebraska corn farmers than turning that corn into whiskey!

    The name Loup River Distilling was selected to represent the area we call home. We strive to produce quality corn-based spirits from our farm, emphasizing the “grain to glass” motto.

    The Montemagni Family has a row crop operation in Howard and Greeley counties. Eric has been farming all his life and is a third-generation farmer. He has a B.S. degree in agronomy from Cal Poly and has spent considerable time researching the craft distilling industry. He attends conferences and workshops throughout the country and is a member of the American Distilling Institute and American Craft Spirits Association. He is a Master Level II certified distiller.

    Eric and Maria have been married more than 20 years. Maria has her master’s degree in Nutrition and has spent her career in the education field. Customer service is her area of expertise from her time overseeing a student-run restaurant. She has worked with the Disney Institute of Business Excellence and Quality Service. She is a nationally certified Servsafe (food safety) Manager. Eric and Maria have two children, Elena and Ryan.

    Our goal is to utilize local products in making high quality spirits. We hope our customers will enjoy fine crafted cocktails in the relaxing atmosphere of our tasting room, and share our products at home with your family and friends.

    The name Loup River Distilling was selected to represent the area we call home. We strive to produce quality corn-based spirits from our farm, emphasizing the “grain to glass” motto.

    The Montemagni Family has a row crop operation in Howard and Greeley counties. Eric has been farming all his life and is a third-generation farmer. He has a B.S. degree in agronomy from Cal Poly and has spent considerable time researching the craft distilling industry. He attends conferences and workshops throughout the country and is a member of the American Distilling Institute and American Craft Spirits Association. He is a Master Level II certified distiller.

    Eric and Maria have been married more than 20 years. Maria has her master’s degree in Nutrition and has spent her career in the education field. Customer service is her area of expertise from her time overseeing a student-run restaurant. She has worked with the Disney Institute of Business Excellence and Quality Service. She is a nationally certified Servsafe (food safety) Manager. Eric and Maria have two children, Elena and Ryan.

    Our goal is to utilize local products in making high quality spirits. We hope our customers will enjoy fine crafted cocktails in the relaxing atmosphere of our tasting room, and share our products at home with your family and friends.

    • Summary
      • It all starts with you and your mindset.  Think about what 10x looks like to you and put a plan together.  Once you have a clear goal and commitment to yourself the decision making process becomes clearer.  Will this help me reach my goal or will it set me back.  You must start by breaking even, but ultimately generating a profit is a must to get to 10x.  Once you’re in the 10x mindset begin to leverage the resources that you have to reach your goal.
    • Challenge
      • Challenge is to think about what 10x means to you and your farm or business.  Do you want 10 times the number of livestock, number of acres, amount of net income, free time, etc….. Then continue by writing it down.   It will evolve, but that is part of figuring it out!

    • Answer questions – COVID-19 in the cab, what do I do if an employee reports positive and they have been running my truck, tractor, floater, etc…..?
      • The guidance we have is to protect yourself from employee/employer legal actions you must take reasonable action to make the environment safe before someone else can enter that piece of equipment.  The employee must quarantine for 14 days and any other individual they came in contact with. We also learned there is a “FOG” that can be released in the cabs once the air has settle to kill the virus.  Once the fog disappears you can go back to operating the machine.

      • Please share any final comments and how our listeners can find you for questions or any interest in ordering your products. Thank you!
    • Main Topic- How can custom farming work for your farm and increase farming profitability?
    • Custom work as defined: Custom farming services means the performance of an activity, defined as farming in this section, for a farmer for a fee. The fee may include a cash payment, a share of the harvest or other valuable consideration.
    • This means you could be using custom farming practices to benefit your farm in 2 different ways.  Either by performing the tasks for others or by hiring someone else to perform the task for you.
    • You will need to step back and do a 360 review of your farming operation before making this decision.  As we said at the beginning of the podcast that we know time is the most valuable resource, so part of this review will be to consider:
      • How much time do you have to devote to performing custom farming tasks?
      • Do you have staff or employees that are under employed?
      • Have you struggled to get a part of your farming done timely in the past?
      • Do you know of others in the area expressing a need for tasks to be completed?
      • Are you adequately equipped to perform more tasks, need to upgrade, need to buy?
      • Is there a practice you want to learn, try, or improve but want to try before your buy?
    • Once you do a 360 degree review of your farm as it is now you’ll be able to take the next steps necessary.
      • Example:  My family used to be a farrow to finish hog farm.  My parents chose a time to expand their operation when I was a young child. They did a review similar to this knowing with a limited labor force they would need to incorporate some custom farming practices.  Because they believed the breeding and farrowing processes were the most important they elected to perform those tasks themselves and hired other farmers to nursery and finish part of the production for them.  They knew they didn’t have the time to do all the jobs well and this was the solution.
      • This could be the same when you look at getting the crops in the ground this spring.  Possibly custom tillage or pre-emergent chemical application could be beneficial.
      • Example: Another hog example, had a client include me on a decision/fact finding mission.  He has been taking care of ISO Wean pigs on a custom basis, sometimes getting double stocked at the beginning and other times not.  We calculated the extra time it took to carry in brooders and mats, sort out feeder pigs etc… and arrived at the determination he was more profitable in the process to take only feeder pigs with a $1.50/space pay cut.  He’s now going to make less gross revenue but net more income.
    • Could custom farming be the entry door into upgrading a piece of equipment?
      • Sprayer, manure equipment, high speed planter, feed wagon/truck, semi & trailer
      • Target enough work to make the payment or reduce the costs of the equipment
      • Entryway to a farm manager that gets access to more rented or crop share ground.
    • How do you charge for custom work?
      • Most farm managers who hire all processes custom will base the payment on ISU or another university survey and use the average or a multiple of the average rate.  Is this fair?  Too much competition?
      • Calculation
        • Starts with an equipment appraisal then continues with an appraisal annually to get a true depreciation value.  Target a market value and wholesale value. Salesman, auctioneer, appraiser.
        • Overhead costs on a per acre basis:  Road time, RTK, Insurance, etc..
        • Establish Tractor Value and establish the cost based on use (50% of planter and grain cart) and the cost of planter + wages/acre + fuel/acre + overhead expenses/acre 
        • Wages are different for each operator including yourself.
      • Niche’
        • High clearance spraying, cover crop seeding, silage chopping, baling, heavy haul equipment, excavator work, tiling, ISO Weans
      • Location
        • How far from your home base?  How far from your last customer?  How many acres?  Can you charge a premium?  Will it become a long term relationship?
      • Experience
        • If you have been doing the same task since you just started farming…..don’t you think you deserve a raise for experience and efficiency?
    • What could hiring custom operators do for you?
      • Pre-emergence, fungicide, Y Drops, cover crops, lawn mowing, putting cows out to pasture, expanding livestock herds, baling waterways (50/50)
      • Your farm gains: speed, efficiency, precision, focus, diversity, and profit
        • Ex: Hiring someone to help you combine beans when its fit to go rather than picking at high moisture yourself
      • Is it included in the price of the purchase: Spreading litter when bought, buying chemicals or fungicide
      • Maybe someone is doing it for less that you could do it for by yourself???!!!
    • Lastly, sometimes the best answer is to say “no"
    • Challenge
      • Do that 360 degree review of your farm to see where custom work could be a fit.
      • Then if you are performing custom farming tasks get down to the real costs involved in performing the task.  Your time isn’t free or worthless.
    • Please remember to like, rate, review, and share the podcast
    • Thank you

      • Is it included in the price of the purchase: Spreading litter when bought, buying chemicals or fungicide
      • Maybe someone is doing it for less that you could do it for by yourself???!!!
    • Lastly, sometimes the best answer is to say “no"
    • Challenge
      • Do that 360 degree review of your farm to see where custom work could be a fit.
      • Then if you are performing custom farming tasks get down to the real costs involved in performing the task.  Your time isn’t free or worthless.

        • John Deere-TruSet Technology
          • Late last year, Sunflower introduced the SF6830 Series high-speed rotary finisher. Its new feature is the hydraulic leveler gang composed of four wavy center blades, which can be hydraulically adjusted by the operator from zero to 10 degrees. By adjusting the angle at which these blades engage the soil, the operator has more exacting control of the tool and can match soil conditions and ground speed of the implement to achieve a smooth, even seedbed with every pass.
          • John Deere has introduced new tillage equipment, as well. Its new 2630 Series disks and vertical tillage tools include four distinct models: 2630 disk, 2633 disk, 2635 disk and 2633 vertical tillage implement.
          • These tools also incorporate John Deere’s precision control, TruSet Technology, which lets you make on-the-go depth and down-pressure adjustments from the cab. You can fine-tune the implement with 0.1-inch adjustments with just the touch of a button.
          • And, the TruSet system provides the ability to execute prescriptions and document the tillage operation. So, you can run variable-depth tillage prescriptions to incorporate residue at different levels across the field or change the depth of tillage for different conditions such as lighter soils or areas of known compaction.

    When a small business has an employee who is difficult to work with, it can drain productivity and create a hostile work environment. Business owners and managers need to demonstrate leadership and deal with difficult employees directly, discussing the behavioral and performance issues and creating a clear plan moving forward to address the issues. Managers should monitor the progress of difficult employees and if the performance doesn’t improve with feedback and resources, you may need to fire the problem employee for the sake of your business’s performance and the morale of other workers.

    10 Ways to Deal with Difficult Employees

    Addressing issues with a difficult employee can be stressful and awkward. Follow these ten tips for managing difficult employees to make the process easier and increase your chances of improving the situation:

    Critique Behavior, Not People

    It’s important that you don’t make the conversation overly personal or emotional. The end goal is to reach a solution to the problem, not to spark a confrontation. To do that, it’s important to focus specifically on inappropriate or undesirable behavior the employee has demonstrated rather than attack them personally. There may not be negative intentions behind their negative behavior. It might stem from confusion, fear or personal problems that you aren’t aware of.

    Listen to Feedback

    You should have a two-way conversation with the challenging employee. Listen to their feedback so you can understand where the problem lies and acknowledge any workplace issues that might be contributing to the negative behavior. Sometimes, just feeling listened to is enough for the employee to feel better and improve their behavior.

    Give Clear Direction

    Giving tough feedback can be a difficult task for managers, but it’s important that you give clear and specific examples of the negative behavior and explain why it’s inappropriate and how it has to change. Focusing on specific examples can help lower the employee’s defensiveness and offer useful information that can help them improve their workplace performance.

    Document Problematic Behavior

    Whenever you witness poor performance or troubling behavior, write it down in detail so you have a record of what happened and be sure to include the date. Proper documentation not only helps you remember and refer to specific events, it also protects your company in the event that the employee is let go and decides to sue the business for wrongful termination.

    Consult the HR Department

    Schedule meetings with the human resources team to discuss the situation. They can give advice on how to deal with the poor behavior, help you understand the documentation you need and provide a course of action for addressing the issue with the employee. HR will understand all the company policies and processes for handling difficult employees and terminating their employment, if necessary.

    Work Together Toward a Solution

    The ideal result when you discuss a difficult employee’s behavior with them is that the two of you work together to develop a solution you both agree on. Discuss the negative behavior, what the appropriate behavior looks like and then find out what the employee needs from you to improve. Agree upon a solution to the issue.

    Write Down Expectations

    Detail your expectations for what needs to improve and set a timeline for improvement. Write down a clear plan of action with a specific timeline and evaluation framework for measuring success. Sign the plan and have the employee sign it as well. You should both keep a copy of the document so the employee can use it to enact the plan and you can evaluate performance moving forward.

    Set Specific Consequences

    It’s possible that your plan for improvement with a difficult employee will fail if you don’t set clear consequences if the behavior doesn’t change within the agreed upon timeframe. Consequences can include a formal written warning, not being eligible for promotions or bonuses and in more severe situations, termination of their employment. Employees likely won’t change their behavior unless continuing it will affect them negatively.

    Monitor Progress

    Give your employee the time needed to correct their behavior. During that time, monitor their progress and make note of any issues or relapses. Check in as frequently as needed to get a better sense of how they’re progressing with the agreed-upon plan and intervene if they get off track. After the timeline from your plan has passed, schedule a full in-person evaluation to discuss how the situation has progressed.

    Recognize a Hopeless Situation

    While the goal is to improve the employee’s behavior so that your team can be more happy and productive together, realistically there will be times when that isn’t possible. If your previous interventions haven’t had the desired effect and the staff member is unwilling to change their behavior, you need to follow your company’s termination procedure and cut your losses.

    • What’s working for Ag – Growers Edge  www.growersedge.com
      • Introduce the guest.  Dan Cosgrove the CEO of Growers Edge which provides data-driven fintech solutions for the ag industry
        • Before joining Growers Edge in 2019, Cosgrove served as the global leader of corporate development and licensing at Corteva Agriscience. During his time at DuPont Pioneer (now part of Corteva Agriscience), he served as the vice president of business development and held various legal roles, including chief patent counsel and IP group leader. Early in his career, he was a lawyer focused on patent litigation as a partner at Zarley, McKee, Thomte, Voorhees & Sease.
        • Growers Edge Financial, Inc. puts grower profits first by delivering grower income assurance through data-driven financial technology products, solutions and tools for the agricultural sector. Empowering farmers to adopt new technologies to increase profitability, Growers Edge solves the financial gaps of farmers by changing how agricultural inputs and services are sold, allowing them to capture more value and improve profits. Led by a proven team of crop management leaders and backed by top agtech investors, the company is headquartered in Johnston, Iowa.
      • What got my attention was the back of your company’s business cards.  The top corner says “Where farmers’ profits are first”. What does that mean to Growers Edge and you?

    • Main Topic -What are benefits worth to you and your farm?
      •  Introduce the guest.  Talk about accomplishments, the qualifications, any events they may have coming up, products they pedal, and how to get in contact with them.
    • Why would paying attention to benefits packages or providing benefits at all be something a farm operator should be considering as a factor of whole farm profitability?
    • Typically how many hours per week must one work to get access to company benefits?  Each business can determine benefit eligibility requirements from how many hours worked constitute eligibility to what group employees it if offered to.   ACA requirements state that employees who work 30 hours a week or 130 hours a month are considered full-time for health insurance.
      • Can part time workers receive benefits? Yes- if the employers elects to offer it.  It can be the same rate as FT or a higher rate
    • How much does a health insurance premium cost? (whole cost not employee share). will all vary depending upon deductible level, HMO vs. PPO, or full-insured vs. self-insured.
      • Individual-$400.-$500

    • What structures are common in the work place for percentage covered by employer versus that of the employee?
    • What have you noticed to be the most valuable “fringe” benefit to employees outside of health insurance and PTO?  Ie: health & wellness, cell phone reimbursement, etc…..  Each survey states something different but what I have found to be most consistent is Retirement benefits and flexible work schedules.
    • What are good resources for someone who is looking at providing their employees with benefits and don’t know where to start?  Google is a wonderful thing a quick search can answer a lot of questions.  Benefits brokers can help provide information and provide expertise on different benefit options.  If we are talking to farmers I am not sure if Farm Bureau offers some of these resources or not.  Possibly FBN can help.
    • What have you seen employers doing to gain a competitive advantage when hiring employees? Higher wages, signing bonuses, tuition reimbursement, paid family leave, paid maternity or paternity leave, professional development, student loan assistance, wellness programs, work from home, flexible work hours, on-site gym, etc..

    • Main Topic: What if your salesperson disliked spending time with you as much as you disliked them coming around? Could the way you behave, react, or think help the relationships you have with sales people?
      • We aren’t insinuating that you don’t like all the sales people that you deal with, but we all know there are some that are better than others.  How about we flip the script?! Do sales people like all their customers?
      • What could you be doing as the customer to make you their favorite customer to do business with?
        • What happens when you are the favorite?
          • First to get a call?
          • Late night, odd hour service?
          • Discounts?
          • Honest advice?
            • Could any of those make you more profitable?
      • Episode #1 was titled Traits of Top Performing Farmers.  We didn’t include being a good customer, but maybe we should have.  We reached out to sales professionals and sales un-professionals around our networks and came up with some common traits of their favorite customers.  If you don’t have these traits and feel like you aren’t getting the service you deserve, maybe there are some changes that need to be made?
      • Matt McCune @ksufearless (farmer & sales agronomist in Hays, KS & storm chaser)
        • Return every phone call.  –and timely!
        • Reduce lying, better to just not lie.  – helps get to the reason behind needing the answer
        • Aren’t offended by “20 questions” -  I will ask a ton of questions to find a way to do whatever they need, but sometimes I need more information to get them the answer.
        • Are honest about delivery time frames/windows - When a farmer calls me and asks be to deliver something, I ask "when do you need this by", and quite often they will say "oh, tomorrow or the next day".  When I first started I would drop everything and go running to them; which impresses them, but was sometimes unnecessary due to their scheduling or caused a logistics issue on their farm.
        • Realistically understand the importance of their needs - I will answer my phone ANYTIME. If it’s something that can wait until business hours please do, but I have guys call me just to talk life at 9 pm, and I am there for them.  This game is 90% mental.  Be there for your customers
        • Respect the efforts of going above and beyond. - I have been known to deliver product at stupid odd hours.  One night a customer called me, said he didn’t realize he was low on glyphosate.  I arranged to take him a shuttle at midnight, so that i could also be spraying at first light. He was delighted and it worked out.
      • Mitch Giese @mitch_giese  (John Deere Salesman, Sheldon, IA and farm kid.)
        • Ones who treat me as their peer.  They share information willingly because they know that the more I know about them and their business, the better I can understand their goals and make recommendations accordingly.  
        • Include me in their Advisory Team - They trust me to provide advice that is in their best interest.  
        • Understand my sales position is my JOB - They allow me to make a reasonable profit because they know that sustainability of the industries supporting them is vital to their own survival and pays them back in the long run.  
        • Aren’t confrontational - They don’t make business transactions needlessly confrontational.  They sometimes buy elsewhere if I can’t offer what they need or someone else’s offering is more attractive, but they treat me respectfully when they do. 
      • Todd Sampson @td_sampson (Insurance agent with Midwest Insurance, Nevada IA) 
        • There needs to be an openness with your sales person - so they know what is important to you.  Being able to articulate the goals of the farm today and the long-term plan of the farm’s future helps the professional have a better idea of what they can do to help make that a reality.
        • Are open to suggestions and implement them: - Most companies will have a risk management meeting with the clients on occasion to make sure the processes and procedures to reduce risk are in place.  Contracts, employee handbooks, safety checklists, etc. are all ways that farmers and ag business companies can reduce their exposure to claims.
    • Kacee Bohle @ConservisKacee (Regional manager for Conservis, traveler & Ag Lover)
      • Be open minded to new things in agriculture, like technology. There are so many farmers who were successful in their prime years ago that are still thinking "this is what I have done and it worked and so I am going to keep doing that", which is not keeping them competitive.  
      • Have a plan to change:  we know that it takes time to implement change, and those clients that understand there needs to be a plan, goals, and a timeline of implementation as well as reflection are usually more successful than those that assume things will just magically work over night.
    • Bodie @Bkitch1Bodie (Regional Business Director for Next Level Ag, central Indiana)
      • 1.) Personable and beyond business – are just as interested in learning about me and my goals as I am about them and their goals
      • 2.) Engaged and challenging- they aren’t argumentative they are just eager to learn, but also don’t let me slide by with a poor or lazy answer.
      • 3.) Genuine in what they do and say. – being straight forward and truthful
    • Conrad @SmithAgConrad (West Central Illinois, Sales Manager Smith Agri-Service)
      • You can’t communicate with me enough.  If that means you need call me 3 times a day or text me 10 times a day to keep me abreast of what’s happening then do it.  My ability to plan & make efficient decision is predicated on how well the producer communicates with me. Many failures occur simply because of a breakdown in communication”.
      • Transparency which goes hand in hand with communication right? Their expectations based on the service level they pay for should match what I can deliver. Things work well when I’ve earned a producers trust to the point where we can sit down and take an honest look at yield history, market prices, expenses & make a decisions that fit the farm.  
    • Tom Hadley @TomHadley55  (Territory Manager for Gerinhoff heads – Southeast IA)
      • Treat me like a family member - My favorite traits of a farmer that I have a great relationship are the ones that start off as “cold” and “hard to get to know”. After a while it turns into you are almost a family member after you break down the walls and show that you want them to be profitable with you not you making profit from them. 
      • I like to be face to face - and don’t like texting. I want to hear your voice – the tone or confidence/worry. What can I do to make your day better?
      • They don’t dismiss early – The worst traits of most Farmers is they always have a reason why it’s not time to buy in the first minute of a conversation without the question even being brought up.  Our time is just as valuable as yours.
    • Andrew Klein @SmartBarnOhio (Owner of Smart Barn – wireless sensors Dayton OH)
      • First off, be nice and treat others like you want them to treat you. You’d be surprised (or maybe not surprised?) how often I’ve been mistreated on the first phone call. When I’m working with a potential customer, I always treat them kindly. But man does it get tougher if they treat me like garbage. And honestly, I avoid new business from people who are assholes, go find another asshole who wants to help you, I've got plenty of work and I'd rather work with people who like me. 
      • Second, don’t treat me like a highway robber. My prices are my prices, and while there’s some room for negotiation, I’m giving you the best deal I can afford already. If you genuinely can’t afford my product, or don’t see the value then please let’s do each other a solid and just walk away.
      • Finally, communication! Tell me your concerns, thoughts, gripes, things you like, in a calm, adult way, and I guarantee we can figure out a win-win. I can help a lot better if we’re communicating. Honestly I always go above and beyond and think most sales people do, but if you follow the golden rule its way more likely your salesperson is going to go way above and beyond!
    • ME (Tanner)-
      • Aren’t afraid to tell me “NO”. – saves me time, effort, and worry if you just fill me in.  It won’t hurt my feelings, I am a professional that gets told “No” a lot.
      • Schedule the meetings when they can. -I have more clients than just one, so my favorite ones call to schedule an apt, or if its last minute at least call to let me know they are coming
      • Meals and Beverages not necessary, but it is a perk.  For the same reasons like to bring food the field and treat my clients to lunch.  It leaves a lasting impression. (in laws cooked lunch for mechanic)
    • YOU (David)-
      • Leave Online reviews – You help make me look good and ill work extra hard to make you look good
      • Trust me. -I will work hard and in your best interest for you.  It does me no good to hold information that would benefit you until a later time.  When I learn something I will tell you.
    • Challenge
      • Figure it out, are you doing these or do you have areas to improve?  The next time you “want something” from your sales person, try using one or multiple of the suggestions.  Then let us know how it turned out! @Farm4profitllc

      • What is working on your farm that you feel is helping contribute to high profitability, more efficiencies, margin management, or any other positive momentum?
        • Tandem grain carts, custom made planter, wheat drill, metal fabricating.
      • Is this a mentality/mindset, hobby, training, luck?

    • Main Topic: What if your salesperson disliked spending time with you as much as you disliked them coming around? Could the way you behave, react, or think help the relationships you have with sales people?
      • We aren’t insinuating that you don’t like all the sales people that you deal with, but we all know there are some that are better than others.  How about we flip the script?! Do sales people like all their customers?
      • What could you be doing as the customer to make you their favorite customer to do business with?
        • What happens when you are the favorite?
          • First to get a call?
          • Late night, odd hour service?
          • Discounts?
          • Honest advice?
            • Could any of those make you more profitable?
      • Episode #1 was titled Traits of Top Performing Farmers.  We didn’t include being a good customer, but maybe we should have.  We reached out to sales professionals and sales un-professionals around our networks and came up with some common traits of their favorite customers.  If you don’t have these traits and feel like you aren’t getting the service you deserve, maybe there are some changes that need to be made?
      • Matt McCune @ksufearless (farmer & sales agronomist in Hays, KS & storm chaser)
        • Return every phone call.  –and timely!
        • Reduce lying, better to just not lie.  – helps get to the reason behind needing the answer
        • Aren’t offended by “20 questions” -  I will ask a ton of questions to find a way to do whatever they need, but sometimes I need more information to get them the answer.
        • Are honest about delivery time frames/windows - When a farmer calls me and asks be to deliver something, I ask "when do you need this by", and quite often they will say "oh, tomorrow or the next day".  When I first started I would drop everything and go running to them; which impresses them, but was sometimes unnecessary due to their scheduling or caused a logistics issue on their farm.
        • Realistically understand the importance of their needs - I will answer my phone ANYTIME. If it’s something that can wait until business hours please do, but I have guys call me just to talk life at 9 pm, and I am there for them.  This game is 90% mental.  Be there for your customers
        • Respect the efforts of going above and beyond. - I have been known to deliver product at stupid odd hours.  One night a customer called me, said he didn’t realize he was low on glyphosate.  I arranged to take him a shuttle at midnight, so that i could also be spraying at first light. He was delighted and it worked out.
      • Mitch Giese @mitch_giese  (John Deere Salesman, Sheldon, IA and farm kid.)
        • Ones who treat me as their peer.  They share information willingly because they know that the more I know about them and their business, the better I can understand their goals and make recommendations accordingly.  
        • Include me in their Advisory Team - They trust me to provide advice that is in their best interest.  
        • Understand my sales position is my JOB - They allow me to make a reasonable profit because they know that sustainability of the industries supporting them is vital to their own survival and pays them back in the long run.  
        • Aren’t confrontational - They don’t make business transactions needlessly confrontational.  They sometimes buy elsewhere if I can’t offer what they need or someone else’s offering is more attractive, but they treat me respectfully when they do. 
      • Todd Sampson @td_sampson (Insurance agent with Midwest Insurance, Nevada IA) 
        • There needs to be an openness with your sales person - so they know what is important to you.  Being able to articulate the goals of the farm today and the long-term plan of the farm’s future helps the professional have a better idea of what they can do to help make that a reality.
        • Are open to suggestions and implement them: - Most companies will have a risk management meeting with the clients on occasion to make sure the processes and procedures to reduce risk are in place.  Contracts, employee handbooks, safety checklists, etc. are all ways that farmers and ag business companies can reduce their exposure to claims.
    • Kacee Bohle @ConservisKacee (Regional manager for Conservis, traveler & Ag Lover)
      • Be open minded to new things in agriculture, like technology. There are so many farmers who were successful in their prime years ago that are still thinking "this is what I have done and it worked and so I am going to keep doing that", which is not keeping them competitive.  
      • Have a plan to change:  we know that it takes time to implement change, and those clients that understand there needs to be a plan, goals, and a timeline of implementation as well as reflection are usually more successful than those that assume things will just magically work over night.
    • Bodie @Bkitch1Bodie (Regional Business Director for Next Level Ag, central Indiana)
      • 1.) Personable and beyond business – are just as interested in learning about me and my goals as I am about them and their goals
      • 2.) Engaged and challenging- they aren’t argumentative they are just eager to learn, but also don’t let me slide by with a poor or lazy answer.
      • 3.) Genuine in what they do and say. – being straight forward and truthful
    • Conrad @SmithAgConrad (West Central Illinois, Sales Manager Smith Agri-Service)
      • You can’t communicate with me enough.  If that means you need call me 3 times a day or text me 10 times a day to keep me abreast of what’s happening then do it.  My ability to plan & make efficient decision is predicated on how well the producer communicates with me. Many failures occur simply because of a breakdown in communication”.
      • Transparency which goes hand in hand with communication right? Their expectations based on the service level they pay for should match what I can deliver. Things work well when I’ve earned a producers trust to the point where we can sit down and take an honest look at yield history, market prices, expenses & make a decisions that fit the farm.  
    • Tom Hadley @TomHadley55  (Territory Manager for Gerinhoff heads – Southeast IA)
      • Treat me like a family member - My favorite traits of a farmer that I have a great relationship are the ones that start off as “cold” and “hard to get to know”. After a while it turns into you are almost a family member after you break down the walls and show that you want them to be profitable with you not you making profit from them. 
      • I like to be face to face - and don’t like texting. I want to hear your voice – the tone or confidence/worry. What can I do to make your day better?
      • They don’t dismiss early – The worst traits of most Farmers is they always have a reason why it’s not time to buy in the first minute of a conversation without the question even being brought up.  Our time is just as valuable as yours.
    • Andrew Klein @SmartBarnOhio (Owner of Smart Barn – wireless sensors Dayton OH)
      • First off, be nice and treat others like you want them to treat you. You’d be surprised (or maybe not surprised?) how often I’ve been mistreated on the first phone call. When I’m working with a potential customer, I always treat them kindly. But man does it get tougher if they treat me like garbage. And honestly, I avoid new business from people who are assholes, go find another asshole who wants to help you, I've got plenty of work and I'd rather work with people who like me. 
      • Second, don’t treat me like a highway robber. My prices are my prices, and while there’s some room for negotiation, I’m giving you the best deal I can afford already. If you genuinely can’t afford my product, or don’t see the value then please let’s do each other a solid and just walk away.
      • Finally, communication! Tell me your concerns, thoughts, gripes, things you like, in a calm, adult way, and I guarantee we can figure out a win-win. I can help a lot better if we’re communicating. Honestly I always go above and beyond and think most sales people do, but if you follow the golden rule its way more likely your salesperson is going to go way above and beyond!
    • ME (Tanner)-
      • Aren’t afraid to tell me “NO”. – saves me time, effort, and worry if you just fill me in.  It won’t hurt my feelings, I am a professional that gets told “No” a lot.
      • Schedule the meetings when they can. -I have more clients than just one, so my favorite ones call to schedule an apt, or if its last minute at least call to let me know they are coming
      • Meals and Beverages not necessary, but it is a perk.  For the same reasons like to bring food the field and treat my clients to lunch.  It leaves a lasting impression. (in laws cooked lunch for mechanic)
    • YOU (David)-
      • Leave Online reviews – You help make me look good and ill work extra hard to make you look good
      • Trust me. -I will work hard and in your best interest for you.  It does me no good to hold information that would benefit you until a later time.  When I learn something I will tell you.
    • Challenge
      • Figure it out, are you doing these or do you have areas to improve?  The next time you “want something” from your sales person, try using one or multiple of the suggestions.  Then let us know how it turned out! @Farm4profitllc
    • Conference Update
      • It’s on for December 4, 2020!

    • Introduction
    • What’s happening – Steve Johnson ARC-PLC Update RECAP FROM EPISODE #11 Reminder that Steve Johnson is a Farm Management Specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. Has his Ph.D., Vocational Education, Colorado State University, M.S., Agricultural Education/Economics ,B.S., Agricultural Education, Iowa State University and the resident expert on all things Farm Bill.  
      • I’d say maybe 20% to 30% of farmers have figured out ARC/PLC Decisions and are heading to the FSA office. About 50% will do what their neighbors are doing. I think the other 20% to 30% will wait until the deadline (March 2020) and see if it’s extended or just default into whatever they signed up the past 5 years (ARC-CO).
    • Steve’s observations:
      • Always start the ARC/PLC decision with the effective reference prices of $3.70/bu corn and $8.40/bu soybeans.  Will the MYA national cash price for the 2019 and 2020 crop years be below those prices?
        • Use WASDE for 2019 and FAPRI for 2020 MYA national cash prices (see spreadsheet). Please link this Farm Bill Information where we’ve placed the ARC/PLC Payment Estimator, PLC Yield Update Tool and 4 videos if you missed the 80+ public meetings. <https://www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm/info/farmbill.html>  I attached a Marshall County farm for a couple crop insurance agents on Friday, Jan. 17th. If a farmer would plug in their own numbers, they can see the interaction of national cash price and county yields.
    • Steve’s assumptions: 
      • Thus the low corn prices in 2020 will pull more farmers to the 2-year PLC election, assuming normal county yields. Expect USDA to increase 2020 corn planted acres 2 to 4 million acres at the Feb. 20th Ag Outlook Conference which should lower the 2020 cash price projection below $3.70/bu.
      • Since there likely won't be any PLC payments for soybeans in 2019 and 2020, ARC-CO is the overwhelming choice. Farmers will chose ARC-CO on most all soybean base acres because the projected cash price was not below $8.40/bushel I 2019 or 2020.
      • Since most Iowa farmers will take PLC on corn base acres, they might be interested in pricing Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO) for 2020. To buy SCO, the crop on that farm needs to have elected and enrolled in PLC.  SCO is a county-based revenue product can be added on to the traditional Revenue Protection product. It’s subsidized at 65% federal subsidy that make a relative “inexpensive way” to buy up to 86% total coverage.  
        • There are some drawbacks on SCO:
        • No indemnity payment until June following harvest.
        • You might have yield losses on your farm, but not the county.
        • No prevented planting benefits with SCO.
        • SCO could fit well on seed corn acres since farmers typically buy low levels of coverage.
    • Using Crop Insurance to where it is more than just an expense to your farm.  It doesn’t have to be “just what we have always done……”
      • Guest Blair Brody, Sales Executive for HUB International Limited in Mason City, Iowa.

    Tyne Morgan – AgWeb – Farm Journal

    12/27/2019

    2019 will go down as one of the most challenging crop-growing journeys in history; much of that stemming from unforgiving weather.  Late planting, unforgiving conditions, leading to a wet and snowy harvest.

    The yield story is one many growers didn’t see coming, creating a year full of agronomic lessons that could last a lifetime.

    1. For instance, we would tell a grower not to mud corn in unless he's doing it for crop insurance. That corn stand is so crucial, make sure you get it right.
      1. Not so much to worry about the calendar but to focus on the quality of job getting done.
    2. 2019 taught everyone that planting dates don’t always matter.
      1. Stop worrying about the neighbor and know what is right for your farm.
    3. If we look at planter studies and planter attachments and how we can teach the planter to dance, it's just as important on June 5 as it is on May 5 as it is on April 15
      1. Don’t get in a rush and forget about necessary planter maintenance and set up.
    4. As genetics continue to improve, the crop is a little more forgiving when it comes to weather and planting dates. The idea of getting in a panic and forcing that crop in, I don't think we have to do that anymore
      1. Be patient and know what the hybrid’s strengths are – cold germ tests.
    5. We have the technology that allows us to plant fast and do it in marginal conditions
      1. See item #1  marginal is still better than mud, but the pace is faster than it used to be
    6. With a lot of our new genetics today, the last 30 days make the crop
      1. The whole year matters, hope and discipline
    7. Don't never walk away from a growing crop,’ because you don't know when the next opportunity is going to come along.
      1. Some tore out a marginal crop only to get another marginal crop planted
    8. Stick to your marketing plan.  Delayed planting sprouted a bullish reaction in the markets. Once the market realized a late-planted crop could still be made, that reaction turned sour.
      1. Those with less emotion involved took advantage of what the market gave for opportunities.

    Tyne Morgan – AgWeb – Farm Journal

    12/27/2019

    2019 will go down as one of the most challenging crop-growing journeys in history; much of that stemming from unforgiving weather.  Late planting, unforgiving conditions, leading to a wet and snowy harvest.

    The yield story is one many growers didn’t see coming, creating a year full of agronomic lessons that could last a lifetime.

    1. For instance, we would tell a grower not to mud corn in unless he's doing it for crop insurance. That corn stand is so crucial, make sure you get it right.
      1. Not so much to worry about the calendar but to focus on the quality of job getting done.
    2. 2019 taught everyone that planting dates don’t always matter.
      1. Stop worrying about the neighbor and know what is right for your farm.
    3. If we look at planter studies and planter attachments and how we can teach the planter to dance, it's just as important on June 5 as it is on May 5 as it is on April 15
      1. Don’t get in a rush and forget about necessary planter maintenance and set up.
    4. As genetics continue to improve, the crop is a little more forgiving when it comes to weather and planting dates. The idea of getting in a panic and forcing that crop in, I don't think we have to do that anymore
      1. Be patient and know what the hybrid’s strengths are – cold germ tests.
    5. We have the technology that allows us to plant fast and do it in marginal conditions
      1. See item #1  marginal is still better than mud, but the pace is faster than it used to be
    6. With a lot of our new genetics today, the last 30 days make the crop
      1. The whole year matters, hope and discipline
    7. Don't never walk away from a growing crop,’ because you don't know when the next opportunity is going to come along.
      1. Some tore out a marginal crop only to get another marginal crop planted
    8. Stick to your marketing plan.  Delayed planting sprouted a bullish reaction in the markets. Once the market realized a late-planted crop could still be made, that reaction turned sour.
      1. Those with less emotion involved took advantage of what the market gave for opportunities.

    • Introduction
    • What’s working for Ag – listener or farmer feedback
      • Noah Wendt of A & W Farms
        • Organic farming
    • How can your banking relationship better benefit your farm?
      • How can it not? The relationship should not be filled with a well I don’t know if they will keep me around for another year. Or I’m not sure my line will get renewed. Communicate early and often so there aren’t any surprises for either party.
      • Learn more about what your banker is looking for. If you learn how to provide the information your banker needs more timely, more organized, and more accurate it should provide a more favorable response.
        • Faster answers because it’s easier and probably gets moved to the top of the list.
        • Better rates because each loan gets a factor for how good of a manager you are.
      • Work with them to make sure your information is accurate. The more you learn about reading a balance sheet or putting a projected cash flow together the better you can spot mistakes.
        • They do happen, don’t let them cost your farm time or money.
      • Get more out of them for free! You’re already paying the interest and random fees. If you communicate clearly what your goals are for your farm a good banker will intuitively want to help you succeed.
        • Make connections for you, share opportunities, grant loan requests, find items for sale, etc…
      • Make sure they are a part of your advisory team (future). Leverage their education and experience to make sure your farm is positioned correctly, poised for growth, or prepared to wind down.
      • Keep them honest. Unfortunately, repetitive relationships get into a rut for pricing, structure, and more. It doesn’t cost anything to have a relationship with another banker. Be open and set honest expectations, but those conversations can lead to interest savings, proper structure or new ideas.
    • Summarize
      • Keeping your banker in the loop helps keep your farm running strong. The less surprises there are the better the experience will be. Don’t dread going into see your lender, but form a relationship of trust where you look forward to what you can gain from the meeting. If you don’t have this now, maybe you need to build a new relationship.
    • Challenge
      • How comfortable are you navigating a balance sheet or cash flow statement? Make an appointment with your banker to ask what you could provide them to help make their process go smoother. DO you consider your lender to be an advisor? Are there other lenders in the area you could network with to begin building a relationship with?
    • Conference Update
    • Submit questions and topic suggestions

    1. Machine Linking – Autonomy 
      1. auto steer on tractors and combines that were really pretty new at the beginning of the decade (2002) and now they’re pretty much standard procedures out there and now those advancements continue with combine automation, automatic grain carts, and synced machines
    2. Genetic improvement in crops and livestock also took the stage during the decade from rate of gains, to stand ability, and production potential.
    3. I don’t think most people realize that 40 percent of our 'ag’ exports were going to three countries, China, Mexico and Canada until the last couple years when we have trade issues with all three of those countries at the same time, and we definitely saw the impact it had on our grain and livestock markets,” said Thiesse.  However, we’ve opened up trade lanes with other countries until relationships repair
    4. While most markets saw continuous fluctuation in prices and cost of production throughout the decade, a new industry made leaps and bounds thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill.“Hemp has been something that, beginning of the decade was kind of a nasty word in most people’s mind, but by the end of the decade it’s now viewed as an alternative crop,” said Thiesse.
    5. Minimal tillage methods and the inclusion of cover crops have grown throughout the decade as farmers look to be stewards of the land and earth’s natural resources, and with trade talks and agreements rounding out the year, the decade is ending on a high note.
    6. The first iPad was released on April 3, 2010; the most recent iPad models are the seventh-generation iPad, released on September 25, 2019;
    7. In December 2015 the FAA announced that all UAVs weighing more than 250 grams flown for any purpose must be registered with the FAA and in December 2019, the FAA proposed a ruling requiring all unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) to be equipped with a devise to identify them 
    8. The advancements of row crop farming practices moving to high-speed
      1. High Speed tillage with discs and vertical tillage
      2. Planting
      3. HorsePower
    9. Livestock production monitoring
      1. Feed rations – automation
      2. Animal ID cameras for habit learning
      3. Health and wellbeing
      4. Product sourcement – labeling

    Credit Karma Tax® 

    1. Know whether your farming activity counts

    Who does the IRS consider a farmer? If you grow veggies in your backyard garden on the side and sell them at a roadside farm stand, does that qualify you as a farmer?

    The IRS says you’re a farmer if you “cultivate, operate or manage a farm for profit, either as an owner or a tenant.” Farms include plantations, ranches, ranges, orchards and groves, and you can raise livestock, fish or poultry, or grow fruits and vegetables.

    But your backyard produce sales probably won’t qualify you as a farmer for tax purposes — especially if you also work a full-time job that’s not farming-related. Instead, the IRS would likely consider the money you make from your victory garden as hobby income, since you don’t depend on that income for your livelihood.

    As a result, you wouldn’t have access to the tax breaks the IRS affords farmers.

    2. Know what you must claim as income

    As a farmer, you’re likely to have multiple streams of income, and there may be some income sources that you didn’t know you needed to report.

    To help, here’s a quick list of farming income you may have to report.

    • Sales of livestock and other resale items
    • Sales of livestock, produce, grains and other products you raised
    • Distributions from a cooperative
    • Agricultural program payments
    • Commodity Credit Corporation loan proceeds (you can choose to count this as income if you pledge part or all your production to secure the loan)
    • Crop insurance proceeds
    • Federal crop disaster payments
    • Income you received for custom hire or machine work
    • Gasoline or fuel tax credit or refunds

    If you own a farm operated by a tenant and you didn’t materially participate in the farm’s management or operation, you’ll also need to report rental income based on crop or livestock shares the tenant produces. But you won’t have to pay self-employment tax on the rental income.

    As a farmer, you may have many sources of taxable income — including bartering, cancelled debt, prizes from livestock competitions and more. See IRS Publication 225 to learn more about farm income. Because there are so many different income sources you must report, it’s important to keep meticulous records throughout the year to make it easier to file your return correctly. You’ll report the income, along with your expenses, on Schedule F of Form 1040.

    3. Know what expenses you can and can’t deduct

    Farmers get a lot of deductions for the expenses they incur, but that doesn’t mean you can deduct everything. Here are the five expenses you can’t deduct.

    • Personal or living expenses that don’t produce farm income (e.g., the cost of repairing your home)
    • Expenses of raising anything you or your family used (e.g., if your farm business is growing vegetables, but you raise hens for your family, the costs of raising those chickens is nondeductible)
    • The value of raised animals that died
    • Inventory losses
    • Personal losses

    Fortunately, the list of expenses you can deduct is much longer. Here are some examples.

    • Seeds and plants
    • Veterinary costs for livestock
    • Depreciation
    • Chemicals
    • Feed
    • Fertilizers and lime
    • Insurance (other than health)
    • Mortgage interest
    • Storage and warehousing

    See Part II of Schedule F for a comprehensive list of deductible farm expenses.

    4. Take advantage of other tax breaks

    In addition to deducting your expenses, there may be other deductions and credits you can take as a farmer.

    Home office deduction

    You may be able to deduct certain expenses using the home office deduction if you used your home to conduct farming business. In order to qualify, you must have used part of your home exclusively and regularly as the principal place of business for your farming operation, and you cannot have another fixed location from which you managed and administered your business.

    Check out IRS Publication 225 to learn more about business use of your home when you’re a farmer.

    Deducting net operating loss

    Farming can be an unpredictable business. One year you may have a bumper crop and make a tidy profit, while the next year sees drought and disease eroding your income. When deductible losses from operating your farm exceed your other income from the year, or you experience a personal or business loss that was more than your income, you can see a net operating loss.

    When that happens, you may be able to carry the loss back up to two years and deduct it from income you had in those years. If you carry the loss back, you may be able to get a refund for all or some of the income tax you paid for that past year. Alternatively, you can choose to carry the net operating loss forward for up to 20 years.

    Claiming fuel credits

    If you used gasoline or other fuels for farming purposes, you might be able to claim a credit or refund on the excise taxes you paid. Note, however, that you can’t get a credit or refund for taxes paid on dyed diesel fuel and dyed kerosene.

    Before you claim a fuel credit, be sure you understand the rules, requirements and limitations for doing so. Check out IRS Publication 225 to learn more.

    Earned income tax credit

    Although it’s not specifically designed for farmers, the earned income tax credit may be available to you if you meet the qualifications.

    The credit is designed for working people with low to moderate income, so you may not be eligible if your net farm profit exceeds a certain amount. Check out the IRS publication on the EITC for more information.

    5. Get help with filing if you need it

    Credit Karma Tax® offers free filing for everyone, and supports some of the most-common tax forms used by business people, including Schedule F Profit and Loss from Farming. But depending on the complexity of your farm’s finances, you may want to get help from a tax professional. This may be especially important if you’re new to farming or you haven’t done your own taxes in the past.

    Our next week’s guest will be Kyle Woiwood from LWBJ Accountants.  We hope that conversation will shed some light on the changes year over year to pay attention too.

    Credit Karma Tax® 

    1. Know whether your farming activity counts

    Who does the IRS consider a farmer? If you grow veggies in your backyard garden on the side and sell them at a roadside farm stand, does that qualify you as a farmer?

    The IRS says you’re a farmer if you “cultivate, operate or manage a farm for profit, either as an owner or a tenant.” Farms include plantations, ranches, ranges, orchards and groves, and you can raise livestock, fish or poultry, or grow fruits and vegetables.

    But your backyard produce sales probably won’t qualify you as a farmer for tax purposes — especially if you also work a full-time job that’s not farming-related. Instead, the IRS would likely consider the money you make from your victory garden as hobby income, since you don’t depend on that income for your livelihood.

    As a result, you wouldn’t have access to the tax breaks the IRS affords farmers.

    2. Know what you must claim as income

    As a farmer, you’re likely to have multiple streams of income, and there may be some income sources that you didn’t know you needed to report.

    To help, here’s a quick list of farming income you may have to report.

    • Sales of livestock and other resale items
    • Sales of livestock, produce, grains and other products you raised
    • Distributions from a cooperative
    • Agricultural program payments
    • Commodity Credit Corporation loan proceeds (you can choose to count this as income if you pledge part or all your production to secure the loan)
    • Crop insurance proceeds
    • Federal crop disaster payments
    • Income you received for custom hire or machine work
    • Gasoline or fuel tax credit or refunds

    If you own a farm operated by a tenant and you didn’t materially participate in the farm’s management or operation, you’ll also need to report rental income based on crop or livestock shares the tenant produces. But you won’t have to pay self-employment tax on the rental income.

    As a farmer, you may have many sources of taxable income — including bartering, cancelled debt, prizes from livestock competitions and more. See IRS Publication 225 to learn more about farm income. Because there are so many different income sources you must report, it’s important to keep meticulous records throughout the year to make it easier to file your return correctly. You’ll report the income, along with your expenses, on Schedule F of Form 1040.

    3. Know what expenses you can and can’t deduct

    Farmers get a lot of deductions for the expenses they incur, but that doesn’t mean you can deduct everything. Here are the five expenses you can’t deduct.

    • Personal or living expenses that don’t produce farm income (e.g., the cost of repairing your home)
    • Expenses of raising anything you or your family used (e.g., if your farm business is growing vegetables, but you raise hens for your family, the costs of raising those chickens is nondeductible)
    • The value of raised animals that died
    • Inventory losses
    • Personal losses

    Fortunately, the list of expenses you can deduct is much longer. Here are some examples.

    • Seeds and plants
    • Veterinary costs for livestock
    • Depreciation
    • Chemicals
    • Feed
    • Fertilizers and lime
    • Insurance (other than health)
    • Mortgage interest
    • Storage and warehousing

    See Part II of Schedule F for a comprehensive list of deductible farm expenses.

    4. Take advantage of other tax breaks

    In addition to deducting your expenses, there may be other deductions and credits you can take as a farmer.

    Home office deduction

    You may be able to deduct certain expenses using the home office deduction if you used your home to conduct farming business. In order to qualify, you must have used part of your home exclusively and regularly as the principal place of business for your farming operation, and you cannot have another fixed location from which you managed and administered your business.

    Check out IRS Publication 225 to learn more about business use of your home when you’re a farmer.

    Deducting net operating loss

    Farming can be an unpredictable business. One year you may have a bumper crop and make a tidy profit, while the next year sees drought and disease eroding your income. When deductible losses from operating your farm exceed your other income from the year, or you experience a personal or business loss that was more than your income, you can see a net operating loss.

    When that happens, you may be able to carry the loss back up to two years and deduct it from income you had in those years. If you carry the loss back, you may be able to get a refund for all or some of the income tax you paid for that past year. Alternatively, you can choose to carry the net operating loss forward for up to 20 years.

    Claiming fuel credits

    If you used gasoline or other fuels for farming purposes, you might be able to claim a credit or refund on the excise taxes you paid. Note, however, that you can’t get a credit or refund for taxes paid on dyed diesel fuel and dyed kerosene.

    Before you claim a fuel credit, be sure you understand the rules, requirements and limitations for doing so. Check out IRS Publication 225 to learn more.

    Earned income tax credit

    Although it’s not specifically designed for farmers, the earned income tax credit may be available to you if you meet the qualifications.

    The credit is designed for working people with low to moderate income, so you may not be eligible if your net farm profit exceeds a certain amount. Check out the IRS publication on the EITC for more information.

    5. Get help with filing if you need it

    Credit Karma Tax® offers free filing for everyone, and supports some of the most-common tax forms used by business people, including Schedule F Profit and Loss from Farming. But depending on the complexity of your farm’s finances, you may want to get help from a tax professional. This may be especially important if you’re new to farming or you haven’t done your own taxes in the past.

    Our next week’s guest will be Kyle Woiwood from LWBJ Accountants.  We hope that conversation will shed some light on the changes year over year to pay attention too.

    • Answer questions
      • What are health care options available for farmers and farming families?
    • What’s working for Ag – listener or farmer feedback
    • It’s not a waste of time if you uncover something valuable?
      • It starts with a mentality.  If you start your day or anticipate the learning session to be a waste of your time you might as well just stop now and don’t do it.  The power of emotion is so hard to overtake that you will probably have a pour experience.
      • Find an accountability partner to attend with.  This is a strategic decision. You will get less value attending if the person or group you are there with don’t have the same motivations of you to learn something new.  On your way there or before it starts talk about goals you want to achieve before it’s over.
        • A topic you want to hear and why
        • A networking opportunity to connect with (politics, royalty, and technology) 
        • Busting a myth
      • Strengthen your advisory team.  Why not invite someone to attend with you who also knows the ins/outs and strengths/challenges that your farm faces daily.
      • Don’t waste the breaks.  Yes, stay hydrated and don’t go hungry, but seek out new relationships and target those who can bring value to your farm.  If meeting people is uncomfortable for you then your accountability partner should be one with a skill to help introduce you.  Each attendee there is probably there for the same reason, to get a benefit from the meeting. Meeting you could be their biggest take away, so don’t hold back!
      • Find a sponsor.  We are talking ROI here.  This podcast is all about making your farm more money.  Yes if you invest in yourself that can generate more revenue, but why not get the education for free?  Think of it as a scholarship. -----Suggested places would be salesmen (seed, fert, equipment) or an accountant or your banker!
        • ProTip- If you have a question you want to ask out loud or the end of the presentation write it down.  If you don’t write it down you one, stand a change of forgetting it and two, usually are distracted by trying to remember the question that you don’t hear what is being shared currently.
        • ProTip- Take notes, but do it on two different sheets.  Write down the items you find value in during the presentation.  Then at the end of each presentation write the one or two biggest takeaways on a separate piece of paper or document.  This then allows you to get straight to the important information in the days following.
      • Before you go home take one (maybe two) things that you want to implement on your farm and create a rough plan for how you will do that.  Do you still need to learn more? Who will you need to learn more from? Where do you go to buy it? Are there others you need to educate? And so on. 
    • Summarize
      • It starts with your mindset.  Just because the conference or webinar is free doesn’t mean it will be worthless.  The vice versa is just because you pay $400 per ticket doesn’t mean there will be automatic extreme value.  The better you are at setting goals before you go into the learning session the more you will get out of the event. (share personal example).  Once you are there, minimize your distraction and make the most of your time. Once you grab a nugget of valuable info make a plan of action to add to your farming operation.  Hopefully you are then able to boost your farms profitability by the knowledge you gained. 
    • Challenge
      • What is something on your 3-2-1 plan you need to learn more about?  Is there an annual meeting you have always attended coming up? Take one of those areas and begin setting the mindset for learning, setting goals, and boosting overall profitability.

    https://theboot.com/top-country-songs-about-farming/

    • 10"She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy"

    Kenny Chesney

    Land-lovin' lyrics: "She thinks my tractor's sexy / It really turns her on / She's always starin' at me / While I'm chuggin' along."

    Chesney has clearly found the woman who's right for him: She's into farmer's tans, loves John Deere tractors and appreciates well-tilled soil. Hold on tight to that one, sir!

    • 9"Farm to Fame"

    Joey + Rory

    Land-lovin' lyrics: "He went from rags to riches / Farm to fame / From diggin' ditches / To carving out a name."

    Technically, this song is about getting away from farm life -- specifically, about a country singer who spent every weekend away from the farm playing gigs until a big shot from Nashville discovered him. Still, the song's lyrics admit that it's often "rags to riches to rags again," so our hero may be trading those gigs for rigs soon.

    • 8"Who's Gonna Feed Them Hogs?"

    Tom T. Hall

    Land-lovin' lyrics: "Four hundred hogs, they just standin' out there / My wife can't feed 'em, and the neighbors don't care / They can't get out and roam like my old huntin' dogs / Here I am in this dang bed, and who's gonna feed them hogs?"

    Who, indeed. The narrator of this song tells the story of a man who woke up in a hospital bed in a "medicated fog" and is only concerned about who will feed his hogs -- who's going to keep his livelihood alive, really. In the end, the man is miraculously healed and gets back to his farm -- and thank goodness. Four hundred hogs is a lot of potential bacon (figuratively and literally)!

    • 7"A Man on a Tractor"

    Rodney Atkins

    Land-lovin' lyrics: "His work was laid out there before him / In rows of green, his whole life was revealed / Oh, what I wouldn't give if I could just live / Like a man on a tractor with a dog in a field."

    Atkins is singing a classic "the grass is always greener" scenario: He's feeling jealous of a "man on a tractor with a dog in a field," until his wife wisely points out, "There's more than one way" to be that man -- by finding contentment wherever you are.

    • 6"Where Corn Don't Grow"

    Waylon Jennings

    Land-lovin' lyrics: "But hard times are real / There's dusty fields no matter where you go / You may change your mind / 'Cause the weeds are high where corn don't grow."

    This song features a conversation between a teen boy and his farmer father. While looking out over the father's fields, the boy asks him if he's ever dreamed of a life "where corn don't grow." At the risk of giving too much away, the teenager soon finds out that there's a lot about life that he doesn't understand.

    • 5"Amarillo Sky"

    Jason Aldean

    Land-lovin' lyrics: "On his knees every night / He prays, 'Please let my crops and children grow' / 'Cause that's all he's ever known."

    Farmers are so often at the mercy of the elements: Will there be enough rain? Will a hail storm destroy the crops? This song is about a farmer living through that tension, working hard every day while praying that his "dreams [don't] run dry / Underneath this Amarillo sky."

    • 4"Rain Is a Good Thing"

    Luke Bryan

    Land-lovin' lyrics: "My daddy spent his life lookin' up at the sky / He'd cuss, kick the dust, sayin', 'Son, it's way too dry' / It clouds up in the city, the weatherman complains / But where I come from, rain is a good thing."

    Bryan is one of country's preeminent farm boys: He grew up on a peanut farm, and he's well-known for his annual Farm Tour. So when he sings that "rain is a good thing," we should probably believe him.

    • 3"Last of a Dying Breed"

    Neal McCoy

    Land-lovin' lyrics: "With a house on a hill and a pond in the fields / Surrounded by a mess of corn rows / Makes a livin' from his labor / With credit to the Maker / He's somebody everybody knows."

    This song is the ultimate ode to the farmer, from the "overall wearers, farmer-tan tearers" to the "cake pan lickers, ripe tomato pickers, hay balers loadin' trailers in the fall." However, the tune has a somber undertone, as McCoy worries that these men and women may be the "last of a dying breed" ... but until that time, he's here to celebrate them.

    • 2"Farmer's Blues"

    Merle Haggard and Marty Stuart

    Land-lovin' lyrics: "Who'll buy my wheat? / Who'll buy my corn / To feed my babies when they're born? / Seeds and dirt / A prayer for rain / That, I can use."

    This classic by Haggard and Stuart doesn't sugarcoat farming life; instead, it focuses on the hard realities of being a farmer, from bad weather to the difficulty of getting a loan to the fear that no one will buy their crops. The song offers no easy answers; it's simply an accurate depiction of the difficulty of farm life.

    • 1"Where the Green Grass Grows"

    Tim McGraw

    Land-lovin' lyrics: "I'm gonna live where the green grass grows / Watch my corn pop up in rows / Every night be tucked in close to you."

    This song is a celebration of farm life and love: loving the land, loving your occupation, loving a woman and loving the work of raising corn and babies. Farm life is tough, but a song like this makes it seem worth it.

    https://www.fastline.com/frontpage/2010/03/31/top-10-songs-about-farming/

    Milk Cow Blues, Bob Willis and the Texas Playboys version– This one has been done by several artists including The King- Elvis, Willie Nelson, and The King of Country- George Strait.

    Big Green Tractor, Jason Aldean (Video)- Whether you are a fan of green tractors or not, this is a recent hit that has quickly become a favorite.

    Down on the Farm, Tim McGraw (Video)- This song has very little to do with actual farming, but the tune is catchy and you kind of can’t help but sing along.

    Cloud of Dust, Brad Paisley- Farmers probably know better than anyone how important rain is. When there is a lack of rain, times get tough. Hopefully you won’t need it this year, but maybe this song can help you through those times.

    International Harvester, Craig Morgan (Video)– For all of you that aren’t fans of the big green tractors, maybe this one is more your style?Also reminds us to be friendly to those slow moving farm vehicles.

    Rain on a Scarecrow, John Mellencamp (Video)- This song details the life of a farmer struggling to just get by and how much things have changed over several generations. , If you haven’t heard it, it’s a must listen.

    Shadows of a Heartland, Bobby Pinson- A simple song about life in the country and on the farm.

    Thank God I’m a Country Boy, John Denver (Audio)- We think this one is pretty self explanatory.

    Daddy Won’t Sell The Farm, Montgomery Gentry- No Matter what, despite the struggles…. Daddy won’t sell the farm.

    And of course we couldn’t have a farming song list without this one… She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy, Kenny Chesney

At the risk of giving too much away, the teenager soon finds out that there's a lot about life that he doesn't understand.

    • 5"Amarillo Sky"

    Jason Aldean

    Land-lovin' lyrics: "On his knees every night / He prays, 'Please let my crops and children grow' / 'Cause that's all he's ever known."

    Farmers are so often at the mercy of the elements: Will there be enough rain? Will a hail storm destroy the crops? This song is about a farmer living through that tension, working hard every day while praying that his "dreams [don't] run dry / Underneath this Amarillo sky."

    • 4"Rain Is a Good Thing"

    Luke Bryan

    Land-lovin' lyrics: "My daddy spent his life lookin' up at the sky / He'd cuss, kick the dust, sayin', 'Son, it's way too dry' / It clouds up in the city, the weatherman complains / But where I come from, rain is a good thing."

    Bryan is one of country's preeminent farm boys: He grew up on a peanut farm, and he's well-known for his annual Farm Tour. So when he sings that "rain is a good thing," we should probably believe him.

    • 3"Last of a Dying Breed"

    Neal McCoy

    Land-lovin' lyrics: "With a house on a hill and a pond in the fields / Surrounded by a mess of corn rows / Makes a livin' from his labor / With credit to the Maker / He's somebody everybody knows."

    This song is the ultimate ode to the farmer, from the "overall wearers, farmer-tan tearers" to the "cake pan lickers, ripe tomato pickers, hay balers loadin' trailers in the fall." However, the tune has a somber undertone, as McCoy worries that these men and women may be the "last of a dying breed" ... but until that time, he's here to celebrate them.

    • 2"Farmer's Blues"

    Merle Haggard and Marty Stuart

    Land-lovin' lyrics: "Who'll buy my wheat? / Who'll buy my corn / To feed my babies when they're born? / Seeds and dirt / A prayer for rain / That, I can use."

    This classic by Haggard and Stuart doesn't sugarcoat farming life; instead, it focuses on the hard realities of being a farmer, from bad weather to the difficulty of getting a loan to the fear that no one will buy their crops. The song offers no easy answers; it's simply an accurate depiction of the difficulty of farm life.

    • 1"Where the Green Grass Grows"

    Tim McGraw

    Land-lovin' lyrics: "I'm gonna live where the green grass grows / Watch my corn pop up in rows / Every night be tucked in close to you."

    This song is a celebration of farm life and love: loving the land, loving your occupation, loving a woman and loving the work of raising corn and babies. Farm life is tough, but a song like this makes it seem worth it.

    https://www.fastline.com/frontpage/2010/03/31/top-10-songs-about-farming/

    Milk Cow Blues, Bob Willis and the Texas Playboys version– This one has been done by several artists including The King- Elvis, Willie Nelson, and The King of Country- George Strait.

    Big Green Tractor, Jason Aldean (Video)- Whether you are a fan of green tractors or not, this is a recent hit that has quickly become a favorite.

    Down on the Farm, Tim McGraw (Video)- This song has very little to do with actual farming, but the tune is catchy and you kind of can’t help but sing along.

    Cloud of Dust, Brad Paisley- Farmers probably know better than anyone how important rain is. When there is a lack of rain, times get tough. Hopefully you won’t need it this year, but maybe this song can help you through those times.

    International Harvester, Craig Morgan (Video)– For all of you that aren’t fans of the big green tractors, maybe this one is more your style?Also reminds us to be friendly to those slow moving farm vehicles.

    Rain on a Scarecrow, John Mellencamp (Video)- This song details the life of a farmer struggling to just get by and how much things have changed over several generations. , If you haven’t heard it, it’s a must listen.

    Shadows of a Heartland, Bobby Pinson- A simple song about life in the country and on the farm.

    Thank God I’m a Country Boy, John Denver (Audio)- We think this one is pretty self explanatory.

    Daddy Won’t Sell The Farm, Montgomery Gentry- No Matter what, despite the struggles…. Daddy won’t sell the farm.

    And of course we couldn’t have a farming song list without this one… She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy, Kenny Chesney

    11 Tips on How to Stay Awake Naturally

    By Camille Peri 

    With more and more of us getting less and less sleep, it’s tempting to reach for a Red Bull, Coffee or Bang when we feel sleepy in the field. But consuming caffeine to combat sleepiness can lead to a vicious cycle.

    How can you stay awake naturally? Try some of these 11 jitter-free tips to take the edge off sleepiness.

    1. Get Up and Move Around to Feel Awake

    California State University, Long Beach, studied whether people were more energized by eating a candy bar or taking a brisk 10-minute walk. The 10-minute walk increased energy for two hours. That’s because walking pumps oxygen through your veins, brain, and muscles.

    2. Take a Nap to Take the Edge Off Sleepiness

    “Nap between five and 25 minutes,” says Barry Krakow, MD, author of Sound Sleep, Sound Mind Napping on the job can be touchy. 

    “If you can’t nap, even resting quietly with your eyes closed for 10 minutes or so will help

    3. Give Your Eyes a Break to Avoid Fatigue

    Continuous fixation on a computer screen can cause eyestrain and worsen sleepiness and fatigue. Look away from the screen for a few minutes periodically to relax your eyes.

    4. Eat a Healthy Snack to Boost Energy

    Sugary snacks give you a quick energy boost followed by the sugar “lows,” when low blood sugar produces mental fogginess and lethargy. Snacks such as these will provide better overall energy in the long run:

    Peanut butter on a whole wheat cracker or celery sticks

    Yogurt and a handful or nuts or fresh fruit

    Baby carrots with a low-fat cream cheese dip

    5. Start a Conversation to Wake Up Your Mind

    If you’re fading fast, engaging in conversation can get your mind moving again. “Talk to a colleague about a business idea, politics, or religion,” says Krakow, medical director of Maimonides Sleep Arts and Sciences, Ltd. in Albuquerque, N.M. “It’s a very strong behavioral stimulator -- especially when it’s a conversation about politics.”

    6. Turn Up the Lights to Ease Fatigue

    Environments with dim lighting aggravate fatigue. Studies have shown that exposure to bright light can reduce sleepiness and increase alertness. Try increasing the intensity of your light source at work.

    7. Take a Breather to Feel Alert

    Deep breathing raises blood oxygen levels in the body. This slows your heart rate, lowers blood pressure, and improves circulation, ultimately aiding mental performance and energy.

    The idea of deep-breathing exercises is to inhale to the abdomen, not the chest. You can do them at your desk. Sitting up straight, try this exercise up to 10 times:

    With one hand on your belly just below your ribs and the other on your chest, inhale deeply through your nose and let your belly push your hand out. Your chest should not move.

    Breathe out through lips pursed as if you were whistling. You can use the hand on your belly to help push air out.

    Another technique, called stimulating breath, is used in yoga for a quick energy boost and increased alertness: Inhale and exhale rapidly through your nose, keeping your mouth closed but relaxed. Make your in-and-out breaths short -- do about three of each cycle in a second. Then breathe normally. You can do this for up to 15 seconds the first time and then add on five seconds each time after until you reach a minute.

    8. If You’re Driving, Pull Over When Sleepy

    “Driving while sleepy is as dangerous as driving under the influence of alcohol,” says Siebern. Common tricks such as opening the windows and turning on loud music won’t keep you awake for very long behind the wheel. “Have someone else drive or pull off the road and take a nap until you’re no longer sleepy,” Siebern says.

    If you’re on an extended trip, change drivers often. Stop at least every two hours to take a walk and get some fresh air.

    9. Switch Tasks to Stimulate Your Mind

    In 2004 Finnish researchers who studied people working 12-hour night shifts found that monotonous work is as harmful as sleep loss for alertness. Switch to more engaging work responsibilities when you feel yourself nodding off. 

    10. Drink Water to Prevent Tiredness

    Dehydration can cause fatigue. Make sure you drink plenty of fluids and eat foods high in water such as fruits and vegetables.

    11. Exercise to Increase Energy and Reduce Fatigue

    In an analysis of 70 studies involving more than 6,800 people, University of Georgia researchers found that exercise was more effective in increasing energy and reducing daytime fatigue than some medications used to treat sleep problems. Regular exercise also improves quality of sleep.

    Try to exercise 30 minutes a day. If you decide to exercise hard some days, your energy level may drop for a bit and then surge for a few hours. Eating a meal that contains both protein and carbohydrates within two hours after a heavy workout will lessen the initial energy loss. Be sure to finish your workout a few hours before bedtime so you are not energized when you try to sleep.

You can do this for up to 15 seconds the first time and then add on five seconds each time after until you reach a minute.

    8. If You’re Driving, Pull Over When Sleepy

    “Driving while sleepy is as dangerous as driving under the influence of alcohol,” says Siebern. Common tricks such as opening the windows and turning on loud music won’t keep you awake for very long behind the wheel. “Have someone else drive or pull off the road and take a nap until you’re no longer sleepy,” Siebern says.

    If you’re on an extended trip, change drivers often. Stop at least every two hours to take a walk and get some fresh air.

    9. Switch Tasks to Stimulate Your Mind

    In 2004 Finnish researchers who studied people working 12-hour night shifts found that monotonous work is as harmful as sleep loss for alertness. Switch to more engaging work responsibilities when you feel yourself nodding off. 

    10. Drink Water to Prevent Tiredness

    Dehydration can cause fatigue. Make sure you drink plenty of fluids and eat foods high in water such as fruits and vegetables.

    11. Exercise to Increase Energy and Reduce Fatigue

    In an analysis of 70 studies involving more than 6,800 people, University of Georgia researchers found that exercise was more effective in increasing energy and reducing daytime fatigue than some medications used to treat sleep problems. Regular exercise also improves quality of sleep.

    Try to exercise 30 minutes a day. If you decide to exercise hard some days, your energy level may drop for a bit and then surge for a few hours. Eating a meal that contains both protein and carbohydrates within two hours after a heavy workout will lessen the initial energy loss. Be sure to finish your workout a few hours before bedtime so you are not energized when you try to sleep.

  • How much effect does having a positive outlook on life have on farm profitability?
    • A technique I learned that can help with developing a new habit I learned from another podcast.  Taking care of a house plant. I know as farmers you help grow and raise all kinds of plants and animals, but focusing energy on a specific house or office plant helps build a habit.  The habit for today is having a positive mind set. I struggle with this at times.
      • Pick out a plant, not a cactus, and plant it properly in a pot indoors.  Place it in a fairly high traffic area so you have to walk by it. Make a mental note each time you walk buy it to have a better attitude or see the positive in things.  Each time you water it, fertilize it, or rotate it for sunlight be thinking about the good side of the problems you are facing.
    • Why is this important?
      • Attitude is contagious.  If you have family or employees around you more than likely they are observing your perception and attitude.  
        • Create the culture of your employees embracing challenges and tackling them.
      • Solve the challenges proactively before they become large challenges.  This makes them seem less daunting and less negative.
        • Don’t be afraid of future problems, reframe the thinking to anticipate where problems may be coming from.  (bearings, tires, over sleeping employees, etc…)
      • If you don’t know, be vulnerable.  Ask for help before the challenge gets out of hand.  Surround yourself with experts who will be honest with you and treat you fairly.
      •  Problems are inevitable – don’t let them take you by surprise.  
      • Start small and grow.  Spilled drink, late employee, flat tire, self-repairable breakdown, and so on
      • Use them as teaching moments.  You, employees, children, team
      • “The Seeing Eye” – training program for guide dogs and the vision impaired.  “Seeing Eye has taught me to walk tall, raise my face, without fear, to the sun, wind, and rain.  They have taught me to trust in myself.”
    • Focus on you goals – not so much on the journey there
      • Each task or action is a step towards the goal and we learn from each one.
      • Take a step back – we’ve heard this cliché, but some of the most successful business owners and farmers thrive by taking a look at a problem from a step back.  Embrace it and see the opportunities to better a process, grow an employee or yourself, and get closer to the goal.
  • Summarize
    • The people around you will work harder with you and for you if your attitude towards challenges becomes one of growth.  Work hard to anticipate and expect problems to happen. When they do take care of them calmly with a thought out process.  Work to make the experience a learning opportunity and move towards the goals your farm has in place.
  • Challenge
    • Start with yourself.  Do I over react? Am I easily angered or always negative?  What is something I could work on first? Buy that plant and begin framing your mind up into one that seeing the positive side of things.  Next, identify a regular occurring problem that you can practice with. (Flat tires, late reports, supplies being out) Then, work on graduating up to solving the problems before they happen!

    www.thisfarmgirlcooks.com

    Deanne Frieders

    Field friendly meals – what’s that you say?

    Today I’m sharing meal ideas to serve our farmers when they’re working in the field. Sometimes we

    eat outside, sometimes we pile in the Suburban tots in tow, and other times it’s a pass and go meal.

    Even if you’re not a farm family, these are some healthy, easy to prepare recipes!

    A field friendly meal has a few requirements, in my opinion.

     Fork friendly – no knife required. Bite size pieces are key.

     Easy to prepare.

     Be filling but not make them want to take a nap at the wheel. Auto steer in tractors is great but

    naps are not!

     Healthy and well rounded. Part of my goal in feeding our farmers is to help nourish them when

    they’re working long hours. That’s not to say an occasional Snickers goes along for the ride,

    but you get my drift, right?

    My experience is by the end of harvest the cook is tired of guessing, tell them what you want or like

    and they will appreciate it.

    1-Make Ahead Pepperoni Sliders – This one is a little bit of a splurge, so I keep it reserved for the

    days when everything is going wrong. We all have those days, right? If I see the tractor repair truck

    heading our way or I need to go on a parts run, this recipe comes to mind. It can be made ahead and

    is my pick up meal, like a cheerleader in sandwich form. 

    Mother in law – hot ham and cheese

    2-Sloppy Joe Bowls – No, I haven’t lost my mind. Sloppy joes in the field sounds messy, for sure.

    That’s why you’re throwing it on top of some rice for an easy, wholesome meal. Serve with some

    fresh fruit and you’ll have some happy diners. This one’s freezer friendly, too so make a double batch

    and freeze some for later!

    Mother - puts the sloppy joe over cornbread

    3-Grilled Hawaiian Chicken Teriyaki Bowls – This one’s a family favorite! I cut the pineapple and

    chicken into bite size pieces. It’s a perfect bowl of chicken, veggies and fruit and it’s made on the grill

    so your kitchen stays clean, yipee!  Serve it over brown rice for a complete meal.

     

    4-Chicken & Broccoli Stir Fry – Stir fry is so forgiving! A few ingredients and you’re good to go. Don’t

    have something called for on the recipe? Just sub something else out. I promise, no one will mind

    and in 30 minutes you’ll have a delicious meal on the table, errrr, tractor.

    5-Turkey, Provolone and Pesto Panini from This Farm Girl Cooks – Deli turkey and jarred pesto make these

    sandwiches a breeze. They taste even better at room temperature, in my humble opinion. (COLD)

    6-Turkey Ranch Club Wraps from Life in the Lofthouse – Simple, easy to prepare and a crowd pleaser. If

    you’d like, you can switch out the flour tortilla for a low carb or whole wheat tortilla. (COLD)

    7-Citrus Chicken Quinoa Salad from Sally’s Baking Addiction – This make ahead salad actually gets better as

    it sits and the flavors intensify. Don’t let the word “salad” scare you. The quinoa and chicken have plenty of

    protein to keep you satisfied. Serve with some pre-roasted veggies and it’s a healthy, wholesome, filling

    meal! (COLD)

    8-Ham or Egg Salad Sandwiches from Corn, Beans, Pigs and Kids – This is a great way to add some veggies

    to the typical egg salad. I love that they’re a mayo substitute, too! (COLD)

    Mother inlaw – cold meat stacked

    9-Easy Tex Mex Pasta Salad from Chelsea’s Messy Apron – Delicious and super simple. I mean, the title even

    says EASY! That’s enough to sell me on this bow tie pasta salad with corn, beans, tomatoes, cilantro and

    avocado. If one of those things isn’t your favorite, simply leave it out! (COLD)

    10-Italian Pinwheels from Tornadoughallie – Pepperoni, ham, provolone and some other goodies made

    these an easy lunch idea. Kid friendly, too! (COLD)

    Bonus 11-Leftover Pizza – This one’s random, but I know my farmer loves a cold slice. I don’t think he’d object to

    this for occasional field meals!

    There you have it – 11 field friendly meals. What’s your favorite go to meal?

    Made with love,

    www.thisfarmgirlcooks.com

    Deanne Frieders

    Field friendly meals – what’s that you say?

    Today I’m sharing meal ideas to serve our farmers when they’re working in the field. Sometimes we

    eat outside, sometimes we pile in the Suburban tots in tow, and other times it’s a pass and go meal.

    Even if you’re not a farm family, these are some healthy, easy to prepare recipes!

    A field friendly meal has a few requirements, in my opinion.

     Fork friendly – no knife required. Bite size pieces are key.

     Easy to prepare.

     Be filling but not make them want to take a nap at the wheel. Auto steer in tractors is great but

    naps are not!

     Healthy and well rounded. Part of my goal in feeding our farmers is to help nourish them when

    they’re working long hours. That’s not to say an occasional Snickers goes along for the ride,

    but you get my drift, right?

    My experience is by the end of harvest the cook is tired of guessing, tell them what you want or like

    and they will appreciate it.

    1-Make Ahead Pepperoni Sliders – This one is a little bit of a splurge, so I keep it reserved for the

    days when everything is going wrong. We all have those days, right? If I see the tractor repair truck

    heading our way or I need to go on a parts run, this recipe comes to mind. It can be made ahead and

    is my pick up meal, like a cheerleader in sandwich form. 

    Mother in law – hot ham and cheese

    2-Sloppy Joe Bowls – No, I haven’t lost my mind. Sloppy joes in the field sounds messy, for sure.

    That’s why you’re throwing it on top of some rice for an easy, wholesome meal. Serve with some

    fresh fruit and you’ll have some happy diners. This one’s freezer friendly, too so make a double batch

    and freeze some for later!

    Mother - puts the sloppy joe over cornbread

    3-Grilled Hawaiian Chicken Teriyaki Bowls – This one’s a family favorite! I cut the pineapple and

    chicken into bite size pieces. It’s a perfect bowl of chicken, veggies and fruit and it’s made on the grill

    so your kitchen stays clean, yipee!  Serve it over brown rice for a complete meal.

     

    4-Chicken & Broccoli Stir Fry – Stir fry is so forgiving! A few ingredients and you’re good to go. Don’t

    have something called for on the recipe? Just sub something else out. I promise, no one will mind

    and in 30 minutes you’ll have a delicious meal on the table, errrr, tractor.

    5-Turkey, Provolone and Pesto Panini from This Farm Girl Cooks – Deli turkey and jarred pesto make these

    sandwiches a breeze. They taste even better at room temperature, in my humble opinion. (COLD)

    6-Turkey Ranch Club Wraps from Life in the Lofthouse – Simple, easy to prepare and a crowd pleaser. If

    you’d like, you can switch out the flour tortilla for a low carb or whole wheat tortilla. (COLD)

    7-Citrus Chicken Quinoa Salad from Sally’s Baking Addiction – This make ahead salad actually gets better as

    it sits and the flavors intensify. Don’t let the word “salad” scare you. The quinoa and chicken have plenty of

    protein to keep you satisfied. Serve with some pre-roasted veggies and it’s a healthy, wholesome, filling

    meal! (COLD)

    8-Ham or Egg Salad Sandwiches from Corn, Beans, Pigs and Kids – This is a great way to add some veggies

    to the typical egg salad. I love that they’re a mayo substitute, too! (COLD)

    Mother inlaw – cold meat stacked

    9-Easy Tex Mex Pasta Salad from Chelsea’s Messy Apron – Delicious and super simple. I mean, the title even

    says EASY! That’s enough to sell me on this bow tie pasta salad with corn, beans, tomatoes, cilantro and

    avocado. If one of those things isn’t your favorite, simply leave it out! (COLD)

    10-Italian Pinwheels from Tornadoughallie – Pepperoni, ham, provolone and some other goodies made

    these an easy lunch idea. Kid friendly, too! (COLD)

    Bonus 11-Leftover Pizza – This one’s random, but I know my farmer loves a cold slice. I don’t think he’d object to

    this for occasional field meals!

    There you have it – 11 field friendly meals. What’s your favorite go to meal?

    Made with love,

    • Main Topic – Time Management - The only thing we can’t make more of is time.
      • Prioritizing and delegating are two key word concepts that play a big role in gaining more time.  The problem is both of those are very difficult disciplines to master.
      • Brick Theory – Think of your brain as a truck hauling a load of bricks.  Every time you think of something that needs to be done or accomplished you add another brick to the load.  Every time you complete a task you take the brick off the load. Most of the time the pace of the bricks being added to the load is faster than the pace we can complete them and unload.
        • One thing you can do is have a running list of task to be completed.  I use ever note or a shareable note system on my phone. The point of doing this is to keep your mind free of distraction allowing you to be more efficient.  
        • Studies say it takes 15 minutes to refocus on a task once you have been interrupted.  If you have a process in place to write down tasks or store tasks it will minimize distractions.
      • One you have a list of tasks take the time to review them and prioritize them using three categories.  
        • Time sensitive – what must be done first in order for other tasks to fall in place, or because of the time of year (planting), or to keep from something costing more money
        • Will it generate more revenue – or will it become cost savings?
        • Does it need to be completed by me or can someone else do it? – Time is money and your time isn’t free.  This concept of figuring out what your time is worth could be a podcast episode all by itself. Could a hired man or subcontractor handle the task will little guidance?  
      • Place the least desirable tasks first thing in your day.  By doing this you get the things done early before you have a chance to push them off.  Also, if you can have someone else do the work for you that frees up more of your time to do high value tasks resulting in a better return on your time investment.
      • Just because you hire someone else to do it doesn’t mean it wouldn’t cost you more to do it yourself. The key is to be productive while the others are taking care of the task.  Examples
        • Book work – could be your least favorite and trained professionals may do it faster
        • Lawn mowing – could a lower wage per hour handle this
        • Repetitive chores – is this a task you could check in on once a week or every 4 days 
        • Purchasing livestock – genetics are valuable, don’t let someone else screw up the future of you farm.
        • Field prescriptions – who knows your field better than you do
        • Field work – what other management tasks could you be doing for more money
    • Summarize
      • Unpack your mind of the floating little reminders by making lists or task buckets. Then you can organize those tasks by importance and what skills are needed to complete them.  Take advantage of a fresh day to knock out the less desirable tasks. This also gives you something to look forward to after they are done, a more fun task. What is the true cost of doing a project yourself versus hiring it done?  The whole key is to make sure your time is spent doing the things that will make your farm more profitable, sometimes that is just thinking and planning for the future.
    • Challenge
      • Write down everything you do for 3 weeks.  This will seem like a pain in the ass but it will be a good exercise to see how much is repetitive and what can be delegated or removed.
      • Calculate hourly rate- If you never find yourself with a shortage of things to do take a moment to calculate what your time is worth per hour.  What would someone have to pay you to get you to show up. Then break down the tasks on your to do lists by if you would pay someone that much to do it or not.  The outcome is if you wouldn’t pay someone $30/hour to do that task then you shouldn’t be doing the tasks, hire them done.
      • Build up employees – by assigning responsibility to employees with potential you help them grow and become more productive.  Ultimately getting more out of them for your dollar driving higher levels of farm profitability.

    Farm Finance<https://www.harvestprofit.com/blog/tags/farm-finance#categories>


    As we’ve mentioned numerous times, we like to talk about actionable ideas that you can implement in your operation.

    Here’s a list of eight things that you can do to strengthen your operation for 2017 and beyond.

    8 - Meet With Your Local Grain Merchandisers

    Most grain merchandisers I know are a wealth of local market knowledge.  Most are willing and enjoy sharing this information with their farmer suppliers. Here are a few things to ask them about.

      *   Inquire about local basis patterns. Basis follows certain local patterns and grain merchandisers can identify certain times of the year for you to target your basis “sales”.
      *   Ask them how they manage their spreads. This is an intermediate/advanced topic that many producers should learn more about. Futures spreads play a large role in the P&L of a commercial grain facility. You owe to yourself to learn about them. 
      *   Ask what you’d need to do to be the producer they call when they really need bushels.  You want to be the person they call when they are filling a train, a short sale, etc. Ask them what it would take to be that producer for them.

    Schedule a meeting with your local merchandisers this winter.

    7 - Study Your 2019 Split Tests

    Most successful producers I know conduct split tests throughout the growing season.  It’s your job to sit down with anyone involved in your agronomy decisions (including sales people) to evaluate and learn from your tests.

    As you likely know, every growing season is different.  You don’t want to completely change your plan from year-to-year based on results that were based solely on a year-specific weather issue.  You should try to identify trends in your tests from year-to-year rather than making a rash decision (eg. to completely throw out a company’s seed).

    “If you don’t measure it, you can’t improve it.” You’ve measured it, now learn from it and improve it!

    Also, I’d be completely open and share your results with neighbors and peers.  Knowledge is going to spread regardless so why not learn as much as possible as soon as you can.

    6 - Don’t Buy Shit You Don’t Need

    No explanation needed! That includes stuff from us. If you don’t think we’ll add value to your farm, certainly don’t buy our course or software.

    5 - Shop Your Chemical Plan

    Resistant weeds are costing producers a lot of money these days. They need to be dealt with but it’s my opinion that some producers are scared into buying an A+ mode of action (A+ = expensive!) when a B-quality mode of action (or generic) will work just fine.

    My recommendation is to solicit a bunch of advice this winter on what chemical plans are working best in your area with a focus on both effectiveness and cost-efficiency.

    4 - Set SMART Long-Term Goals

    In a business with as much uncertainty as in farming, it is difficult to make confident decisions. During good times, it’s easy to think that they are here to stay and vice versa (today!).

    These goals can include anything but they should follow the S.M.A.R.T guidelines below.

      *   S - Specific
      *   M - Measurable
      *   A - Attainable
      *   R - Relevant
      *   T - Time-based

    Becoming a better grain marketer is a good goal in theory but it’s not a SMART goal as it’s very hard to measure and it’s not time-based.

    Having more working capital is another good goal in theory but it’s not a SMART goal as it’s not specific or time-based.

    Write down your goals and track them! Our favorite old friend, a spreadsheet, is great for simple goal tracking.

    3 - Send Personalized Letters to All of Your Landlords

    Most landlords love to hear from their tenants. They also want to hear how the growing season went on their farm this year.

    I’d send two personalized letters to your landlords every year.  One in the summer and one in the winter.

    Include details relevant to their farms, such as:

      *   Dates
      *   Pictures
      *   Details of Improvements
      *   Suggestions of Improvements
      *   Yield maps
      *   Fertility tests
      *   Thoughts on the current ag markets
      *   Flex rent hints
      *   You get the point….

    You should be using these letters as an opportunity to solidify your business relationship while building and strengthening a personal relationship.

    Landlords typically don’t give you a lot of advanced notice when they are looking for a new tenant. If they do, they likely already “have one foot out the door.” Spend a few hours a couple times per year building a relationship with them.

    The key here is to be consistent with your communication. If you promise regular newsletters but fail to deliver, you’re doing more harm than good. If you start, keep it up!

    2 - Build and/or Update Your Balance Sheet

    This is very relevant to setting SMART goals. You owe it to your operation to have an easy-to-use balance sheet in place so you can track your goals and evaluate finance/risk management decisions.

    At the end of the day, your farm’s balance sheet is a no-BS view of your farm’s finances. You should know it backwards and forwards.

    Don’t rely on the bank to do this for you. You should be in a position to bring a completed balance sheet to your bank with “ownership” (understanding) of every line item.

    Most of you are likely already doing this but it’s important. So keep it up!

    Before #1, sign up for our free e-mail newsletter below if you haven’t already.

    1 - Have a “Living and Breathing” Farm Budget

    I’ve thoroughly reviewed the financials of farms raising crops on 1+ million acres.

    The #1 trait I’ve seen in the most financially successful operations is the ability to make unemotional, numbers-based farm business and risk management decisions.

    It’s true that grain markets don’t care about one producer’s cost of production or balance sheet, but….

    …..it’s our opinion that farming is more profitable and productive (and fun!) for proactive, numbers-focused operations.

    5 - Shop Your Chemical Plan

    Resistant weeds are costing producers a lot of money these days. They need to be dealt with but it’s my opinion that some producers are scared into buying an A+ mode of action (A+ = expensive!) when a B-quality mode of action (or generic) will work just fine.

    My recommendation is to solicit a bunch of advice this winter on what chemical plans are working best in your area with a focus on both effectiveness and cost-efficiency.

    4 - Set SMART Long-Term Goals

    In a business with as much uncertainty as in farming, it is difficult to make confident decisions. During good times, it’s easy to think that they are here to stay and vice versa (today!).

    These goals can include anything but they should follow the S.M.A.R.T guidelines below.

      *   S - Specific
      *   M - Measurable
      *   A - Attainable
      *   R - Relevant
      *   T - Time-based

    Becoming a better grain marketer is a good goal in theory but it’s not a SMART goal as it’s very hard to measure and it’s not time-based.

    Having more working capital is another good goal in theory but it’s not a SMART goal as it’s not specific or time-based.

    Write down your goals and track them! Our favorite old friend, a spreadsheet, is great for simple goal tracking.

    3 - Send Personalized Letters to All of Your Landlords

    Most landlords love to hear from their tenants. They also want to hear how the growing season went on their farm this year.

    I’d send two personalized letters to your landlords every year.  One in the summer and one in the winter.

    Include details relevant to their farms, such as:

      *   Dates
      *   Pictures
      *   Details of Improvements
      *   Suggestions of Improvements
      *   Yield maps
      *   Fertility tests
      *   Thoughts on the current ag markets
      *   Flex rent hints
      *   You get the point….

    You should be using these letters as an opportunity to solidify your business relationship while building and strengthening a personal relationship.

    Landlords typically don’t give you a lot of advanced notice when they are looking for a new tenant. If they do, they likely already “have one foot out the door.” Spend a few hours a couple times per year building a relationship with them.

    The key here is to be consistent with your communication. If you promise regular newsletters but fail to deliver, you’re doing more harm than good. If you start, keep it up!

    2 - Build and/or Update Your Balance Sheet

    This is very relevant to setting SMART goals. You owe it to your operation to have an easy-to-use balance sheet in place so you can track your goals and evaluate finance/risk management decisions.

    At the end of the day, your farm’s balance sheet is a no-BS view of your farm’s finances. You should know it backwards and forwards.

    Don’t rely on the bank to do this for you. You should be in a position to bring a completed balance sheet to your bank with “ownership” (understanding) of every line item.

    Most of you are likely already doing this but it’s important. So keep it up!

    Before #1, sign up for our free e-mail newsletter below if you haven’t already.

    1 - Have a “Living and Breathing” Farm Budget

    I’ve thoroughly reviewed the financials of farms raising crops on 1+ million acres.

    The #1 trait I’ve seen in the most financially successful operations is the ability to make unemotional, numbers-based farm business and risk management decisions.

    It’s true that grain markets don’t care about one producer’s cost of production or balance sheet, but….

    …..it’s our opinion that farming is more profitable and productive (and fun!) for proactive, numbers-focused operations.

    People don’t fear or resist change in general. It has to be exciting, clear, and obtainable to get the human psyche on board. People cut their hair, buy new equipment, try new food all the time = change
    It’s intimidating to think about cutting something out of your life completely. Instead of eliminating something completely to save costs take a look at the budget and find small areas of savings.
    5% less spent on utilities (call and ask for a break), less in interest expense (call and ask or pay down quicker), inputs like wages, seed, chemicals, fertilizer (application rates or dealer price lowering), family living expenses (eat at home)
    Sell or produce for 5% more – more sources of revenues
    What would it take to boost your yields by 5%? 200 bushel is 10 more bushel 50 bushel is 2.5 more, 3 lbs per day rate of gain is just an extra 15 hundredths daily
    What would it take to sell your crop or animal 5% better than you have in the past?
    Use a broker? Follow a plan? Set target dates?
    Could you grow your gross revenues by 5% by doing something else?
    Custom farm, contract or sub work, become a dealer, network referrals, board position?
    If you could grow or raise your commodity for 5% less cost at the same time as selling it for 5% more your actual net profit increases. The profit you produce doesn’t just increase by 10% though it will be more! $50M into $62.5M is 25% more while $5 into $15 is 200% more (chocolate bars)
    Buy 100 chocolate bars for 95 cents each and sell them for $1 apiece. This leaves you with 5% margin or $5 profit at the end of the day. However, if you find a 5% off coupon and by them for 90 cents each and sell them for $1.05 you have a profit now of $15 or 200% more than before.

    This doesn’t just apply to purchasing and selling. Making small changes in habits, mental and physical health, management techniques and more will pay off.

Written by David Finkel a professional business coach.
    Here is a quick list of the simple things you can do to increase your company's gross and
    operating profit margins. 

    1. Speed up your design cycle (Decision Making).  This can allow you to accomplish
      more tasks in half the time, potentially increasing your profits over 30 percent. The
      faster you can make a decision the more efficient your team can become.
    2. Eliminate tasks and activities that don't add value to the company or customer.
       Every dollar you save by eliminating the cost of things that don't add value to your
      company drops directly to your bottom line.
    3. Increase pricing.  If you bill hourly, review your billing rates and push them higher.  If
      you charge per product, look for ways you can command a higher price.  Could you
      bundle more value into a package?  Improve your marketing and sales scripting to
      effectively sell at a higher price?  Or could you just boldly increase your pricing?  Most
      farms/businesses set their prices when their business was first launched, and since
      they were so hungry for business, they set pricing levels low. Over time, the business
      likely only made nominal increases to pricing every few years, but rarely did the
      owner ever sit down and fundamentally rethink his or her pricing model. Well take a
      close look at your pricing now.
    4. Regularly review your administrative and operational staff levels closely.  Let your
      revenues grow faster than you’re hiring. If you have underutilized staff create
      methods of task that can add to your bottom line.
    5. Shorten your sales cycle.  How can you close your sale faster?  This will decrease
      your sales cost per transaction and free up a lot of hidden cash flow that previously
      was locked up in your sales staff. – biggest ones are early season discounts, interest
      expenses, and product condition.
    6. Increase the dollar value of every sales transaction.  Ask, How can I get each
      customer transaction to be for a larger dollar amount?"  What upsells, cross sells, or
      resales could you strategically implement?  What package offers could you test and
      introduce?
    7. Do the trucking yourself
    8. Manage quality (in the meat, grains, etc)
    9. Deliver to final destination
    10. Deliver on their schedule
    11. Beware the steep cost of attrition/retention. Customer retention is a strategic
      expense if spent wisely.  How can you increase your customer retention?
    12. Landlords
    13. Private Meat Sales
    14. Grain Merchandisers
    15. Employees
    16. Feed your winning sales people more leads (even if that means you starve your
      lower performing sales people of leads.)  This is not a time to be "fair", but to be
      strategic.  If every lead you give to John is worth $2,100 and every lead you give to
      Sarah is worth $3,200, then you've got to take this into account when you divide

    leads. Be transparent about this and let it be a spark to help John learn how to
    increase his own dollar value per company lead given to him. Think of this with
    employees. If one employee is better at a task, give them the option for overtime and
    send the others home. More worth your money.
    9. Strategically map out systems. Look for ways to educate your staff on the ideal use
    of their time with your product or service.
    10. Shift a cost from a fixed to a variable expense to give yourself greater flexibility.
     This is a way to protect your cash flow.  It is extremely important for unproven
    tactics and strategies.  Flex leases, variable rate loans (inverted now), basis
    contracts.
    11. Shift a cost from a variable to a fixed where the value is proven.  Make this shift
    only when you can negotiate a substantial price savings by doing so. Fertilizer, seed,
    insurance, interest rates (now)
    12. Consistently look for ways to lower your fixed overhead.  Scrutinize your base
    expenses to eliminate non-strategic expenses that just don't add value to the
    company or to the customer.
    13. Negotiate hard.  Take the time to plan out your negotiation strategically.  Create
    competition for your dollars.  Create a list of concessions you want, with extras for
    you to trade off.  Research the market to better understand the best deal you can
    expect.  Even hire an experienced negotiator to help you make the purchase on the
    best price and terms you can.  If the asset you're buying for your business is large
    enough, the ROI on your negotiation work can be immense.
    14. Get clear on all the costs of inventory: cost of capital; storage; insurance; etc.  This
    will help you make informed stocking levels. – placing insurance premium
    equivalents into a reserve account can add up over the years and create a pool of
    income generating self-insurance.
    15. Set optimal inventory levels and stick to them.  Constantly be on the lookout for
    ways to safely reduce your inventory levels.  If you have inventory you're unlikely to
    sell, scrap or donate it so that you can free up the space and write off the inventory.

     Just like in our introduction…..If you aren’t farming for profit you won’t be farming for long
    o If someone asked you break even how accurate will your answer be?
     Your number needs to be flexible and include all expenses supported by the farm. (family living)
     It will start off abstract or a wild ass guess
    • Early predictions will be estimates as all parts can change
    • Fuel, time, extra passes, interest hikes, sales, hired labor
     Change the information as it becomes fact is key. It will seem like less work throughout the year if you make more little changes rather than sitting down for hours. Especially during the busy growing season. Some of the top producers we talk with have scheduled time each week to focus on this part.
    • After you lock in inputs
    • After you make field passes
    • After you make grain sales
     Make you more confident in your sales
    • Early season sales are made to be above the rough target or sell into an overall profit model.
    • Later in the processes you can be more accurate in recording the margins generated from sales
    • Again, be careful chasing the peaks in the markets. Remember farmers never go out of business selling for a profit
     Will help with acquisition/expansion scenarios
    • Time to upgrade combines?
    • Should I rent that extra 160 acres?
    • Can I buy the land from my land lord?
     Effects some of your costs of production
    • your interest rates – detail pays
    • Negotiations with land lords and sales people
    • Summarize
    o Having the knowledge of what your breakeven is can make you a more confident producer. Livestock to crops one really should know what they can sell the finished product for to cover expenses and make profit. This allows a producer to be more confident in making quick decisions which could result in higher levels of profit. Get detailed and keep it updated throughout the year. Don’t be afraid to share it with others to help catch areas that may be overlooked.
    • Challenge
    o Where are you keeping your breakeven information now? Are you prepared to say yes when the crush plant or processing plant calls with a cash bid? How could you make sure your information is more accurate or more detailed? Who else knows what your breakeven is? Take time to focus on the answers to those questions to help drive you to be a more profitable farmer.

    Small Farm Nation – Get Growing
    They have a podcast and this list is from their 11 Farm Business Rules episode
    So, it seems that more and more people share the dream of running a sustainable family farm.
    Now, these guidelines, which they call 11 Business Rules for Starting/Running a Family Farm,
    Farm Rule #1 – Your Farm is a Business, Not a Hobby
    Most likely farming is in your DNA and you know it’s a farming business, not a weekend hobby. But, remember if you aren’t farming for profit you won’t be farming for long.
    If you want a hobby, that’s fine. That’s called a homestead, if anything, and you can look elsewhere for whatever income you want.
    But here’s the thing. If you want the farm to produce your income, it’s a business.
    Rule #2 – Nail Down Your Competitive Advantage
    If the business is easy to get into for you, it’s easy for someone else to do the same.
    There are a number of ways you can gain an advantage regardless of what specific farming strategy you choose. Then, have a strategic reason for every farm enterprise you operate, and every farm decision you make.
    If your motive is profit, and it should be because this is a business, right, then you have to assess what the most profitable farm enterprise is for you and your market.
    If it did nothing positive for our bottom line, think about removing the enterprise
    Just make sure you can answer this simple question. Are you ready?. Here it comes: my farm’s defensible competitive advantage is ___________________________
    Rule #3 – Select the Best “Go to Market” Strategy Before You Start
    If you have something to sell, there’s a lot of ways to sell it, right?
    who are you going to sell to and how are you going to reach them?
    You have to define your go to market plan
    Rule #4 – Avoid Debt at (Almost) All Costs
    So, I say almost, because debt can be used intelligently to gain leverage. But that doesn’t mean most people use debt intelligently.
    Balance sheets are divided into assets and liabilities. Assets-good, liabilities-bad, right? Because that’s something you owe
    But would I use debt to buy a tractor to make my farm life easier?
    Because I can’t quantify the income I’ll generate as a result of that purchase to service that debt. So no way. I’ll get that tractor when I can afford to buy it. With cash.
    There’s enough to worry about in farming. Design your farm business to run without debt so you don’t add that level of stress.
    Rule #5 – Bridge the Gap Between What the Land Needs and What the Market Needs
    This is both a business and an ecological rule
    Rule #6 – Balance Profit With Passion
    Okay, so we’re talking about a business, right? Not a hobby.
    So the point is, measure everything that affects profit.
    You absolutely need to know your cost of production, down to the nickel. What does it cost you, ALL IN, to produce that product
    Rule #7 – Understand the Full Impact a Farm Business Does Have on Your Family
    Employees need direction which means someone’s in charge. That means there will inevitably be disputes and disagreements.
    The point I’m making is that there is no separation between work and home life on the farm. It is ALL farm life. All the time.
    Rule #8 – Know the Difference Between Profit Margins and Cash Flow
    If running a business is new to you, this next statement may sound strange. But there are lots of ways a profitable business can go out of business. Or file for bankruptcy.
    There have been plenty of businesses that had attractive profit MARGINS but poor cash flow management. And they went bankrupt, because they couldn’t come up with the cash to service the debt.
    And, there have been even more companies that grew too fast, so they went under.
    CASH IS KING
    Rule #9 – Protect Your Ass-ets
    I’m not a CPA or lawyer so I’m not giving legal advice. See your experts for that. But, in any business, you gotta protect your personal assets, especially in this litigious society.
    And, beyond legal structure, get the right insurance to protect you.
    Rule #10 – Quit Your Day Job
    Close the door behind you, burn the bridge and quit your day job. If you want to have a successful farm business—or any business—get rid of your crutches.
    Go out and do it.
    Rule #11 – Start Marketing Before You Start Farming
    I mean, how can you start marketing before you start farming?
    Start selling part of your (insured) crop before you grow it. Giving yourself 2-3 marketing seasons to catch great sales prices.

     What’s working for Ag – listener or farmer feedback
     Storing Grain in grain bags with @steveconaway1
     You can’t learn much from those you know more than.
    o It’s a challenging concept, it’s humbling, it’s scary, and it must happen!
    o In order to generate new ideas and bring new concepts back to the farm you must reach
    out of your comfort zone. Pairing new or different concepts with your years of
    experience could take your farm to the next level.
     Just because you have years of experience it doesn’t mean you are being the most effective. Think of it as a coffee shop in town has 25 years of experience pouring coffee that tastes awful. They may be great pourers of coffee and never make a mess, but the product they are serving isn’t any good. However, if they meet up with the owner of the across town shop who has high reviews on the quality of coffee they could learn the source of the beans. They now then are great coffee pourers with a great product too just by humbly networking with someone who has been perceived as better at it.

    o You must approach these conversations and experiences with an open mind. We tend to get defensive about the way we do things and resist admitting they could use improvement.
    o Doesn’t have to only be with another farmer. Could be a farm manager, an ag industry professional, or salesman. Just look for those who you respect and command the respect of others to learn from. This most commonly happens while joining ag related boards or attending meetings to network.
    o Remember most of the time we are the most critical of that which we don’t understand. Rather than criticize something be curious and see if you can learn more about it.
    o Then take the new concept, technique, or idea and learn as much as you can about it. Then it becomes less about what someone else said and more about the research you have done.
     A good technique for focusing on a new concept is the 3-2-1 method. Focus a 90 day period of time on the idea and seek out 3 books or articles to read, 2 more people ask about or learn from their experience on the topic, and try to get to 1 class or field day to see it in action.
     Example: Someone shares how vertical tillage has been a solution for certain areas of their farm. Find 3 pieces of research, articles, or books to read about the benefits of the practice. Talk to 2 neighbors or network users about their experience, and try and line up a demo or see a tool in action.

     Summarize
    o The goal is to start identifying those in your industry that you view as successful. You may not what your farming operation to look exactly like theirs, but something about their business you see as a step in the right direction. It could be their understanding of finances, mechanical ability, or cleanliness of fields. Then swallow a bit of pride and put yourself in a position to learn from them whether it be through casual conversation or
    an organized meeting. Once you’ve learned about what helps them achieve the success they have conduct your research and begin implementing profit boosting techniques to your farm. Kaizen is the word the Japanese use for Constant and Never-ending Improvement. Adopting this mentality with help boost your farm’s profitability.

     Challenge
    o Identify 5 techniques, skills, or practices that you see as successful in another operators business. Of those 5 find a way to learn about two of them in the next 30 days. Then begin the 3-2-1 process on each of them and take the steps necessary to implement 1 of the techniques, skills, or practices on your farm to boost productivity or ROI.

     Conference Update
    o
     Submit questions and topic suggestions

    Forming an Advisory Team
    You don’t have to face crucial decisions alone. You can get a team of experts to help you with yourfarming decisions.
    Where do you start? Is an advisory team right for your farm? Could it become a board of
    directors?
    Which farms or operations are a fit for an advisory team? 
    Many of farms are set up perfectly for an advisory team.  The one who aren't are the farmers who go at it only being their way.  For the rest of you it is a fit!
    How do I form an advisory team? 
    You start by listing out the people you think would be a good fit for your advisory team.  They maybe people you already call for advice, or they could be people you've wanted to ask before and haven't.  Then, ask them!  This is the key part, the asking.  What we have learned is when you ask,
    more often than not, the team member feels honored to join.  This results in more attentive
    listening and invested advice.
    Who should be on my advisory team? 
    This will depend on your farming operation.  We suggest starting with agronomists, accountants, bankers, financial advisors, commodities broker, retired farmer, peer farmer, lawyer, land lord, veterinarian and so on.  Each team will be different based on the needs of your farming operation.  Also, think about reaching out to someone outside of the AG industry.  As farms continue to get more complex with various entities and structures including a CEO or CFO from a corporate setting could provide unique insight.
    How often should we meet? 
    This will depend on your farming operation again!  Some of the operations we talked to reach out to specific team members with questions throughout the year and host a full team meeting in the Winter.  Depending how complex your farm business is and how formal of a role you want your advisory team to play this may be different.  We have learned of a farming operation who has their advisory team functioning as a board of directors with voting rights, they meet monthly.
    Do I compensate my advisory team? 
    The decision to pay your board or team will be your choice.  You will retain team members longer when purchasing their services or compensating for their time.  However, you can also get quality advice from the right personalities for free too!

     Summarize
    o Start by doing self-reflection on your ability to accept criticism. Flight school pilots are
    separated from good and great by those who can accept criticism the best and own
    their faults. They are all trained the same but the best are humble. You need to ask the
    people to be a part of your team, otherwise they may not even have a clue. Think about
    your weaknesses or areas of challenge and recruit members to fill those gaps. Each
    farm will be different so figure out what fits best into your schedule for meeting and
    which way you plan to compensate your team members.
     Glen Newcomer (twitter) learned about creating a when I die folder from his
    advisory team.

     Challenge
    o If you have people you call now for advice, take the next steps to make sure they are
    considered your advisory team. Then make it a point to have regular and focused
    conversations about improving your farm. If you already have an advisory team
    together we challenge you to think outside of the box for an additional team member
    (CFO, CEO, HR, etc…)
     Conference Update
    o Farm4Profit Farm Business Award – Nomination details to be on the website, awarded
    to the farm/farmer most running their operation like a business.

     Submit questions and topic suggestions
    o Farm4profitllc@gmail.com
    o @Farm4Profitllc on Twitter
     Remember if you aren’t farming for profit, you won’t be farming for long.

    Peers
    Example of what sharing with your peers can gain for you. An individual living in a suburb made a resolution to exercise more and chose CrossFit as a form of exercising to do that. The closest gym to him offering this style of workout was a 30 minute commute & in the opposite direction of where he worked. After working out for 3 months he built relationships with other members of the class & shared he may need to discontinue the class because the time commitment was too long. As soon as he shared this he had an option for a route that shaved 12 minutes off the drive time and the knowledge of a new gym closer to his work. Just by sharing his plan he gained from the perspective of others.
    Get detailed
    Over all is great, but dividing down to a field by field, acre by acre, or animal by animal basis will provide insight more insight
    Using unit by unit strategies could result in letting a farm go, searching for my ground or genetics like your highest profit characteristics, or searching for cost reduction strategies with a more focused effort.

    Keep your original plan/budget and then compare. Learn from the factors that changed and why.
    Summarize
    Start with a plan, basic. Work through the details and then share your plan with others. This will help keep you accountable and maybe share insights you were missing. Make adjustments throughout the year and revisit it frequently to make sure you are on track. At the end reflect on how it turned out and what needs to be done differently next time.
    Challenge
    What does you budget look like now? Not talking if it’s in the green or red, but does one exists. If you do have one are there ways you get add more detail or more accurate information to it? DO you know someone with more skills than you have to add insight? If you don’t have one start now to take the steps to get started on paper. Write it down.

    Top performing farmers and business owners have plans and understand the financial position of their business. They work to be proactive in their thought processes and share those with an advisory team. The top performers are always learning and focusing on bettering themselves before expecting others to change.
    Challenge
    Look at yourself and your farming operation. Which of these characteristics or practices do you already have in place? Which areas could you use work on? Now which concept above could be the easiest for you to implement next? Our challenge is then for you to start practicing that in the next week. Then tune in to the next episodes as we will share ways to make the process of adopting those tips and techniques a little easier. Remember most of the time we are the most critical of that which we don’t understand. Rather than criticize something be curious and see if you can learn more about it.

    Top performing farmers and business owners have plans and understand the financial position of their business. They work to be proactive in their thought processes and share those with an advisory team. The top performers are always learning and focusing on bettering themselves before expecting others to change.
    Challenge
    Look at yourself and your farming operation. Which of these characteristics or practices do you already have in place? Which areas could you use work on? Now which concept above could be the easiest for you to implement next? Our challenge is then for you to start practicing that in the next week. Then tune in to the next episodes as we will share ways to make the process of adopting those tips and techniques a little easier. Remember most of the time we are the most critical of that which we don’t understand. Rather than criticize something be curious and see if you can learn more about it.

    Introduction episode
    Introducing who we are….
    Founder, Partner, Organizers of the annual Farm4Profit Conference which in 2019 will be our 6th meeting.
    Our meeting started as a local and independently organized annual meeting providing farms and operators of all sizes and experience levels access to the latest trends, projections, and the tools necessary to increase farming profitability. The only thing that has changed is our reach for attendees. They are no traveling from hundreds of miles away to attend.
    The Mission of the Farm4Profit Organizers:
    To provide Midwest farms and operators an annual, independent, and unbiased outlet for information related to increasing the profitability of their farming operation.
    This is why we started the podcast….. our mission to share the information we learn from others more frequently than at an annual conference (which we can’t fit everything we want to say in anyway) and to more people than our e-newsletter subscriber list.
    We hope we build up a library of useful recordings for farmers, ranchers, and ag professionals of all kinds to go back and listen to for a long time to come. Whether you are just starting out or looking for ways to make your existing operation more profitability we hope you find value in what we record!
    Host background:
    Tanner Winterhof – growing up on a farrow to finish hog farm in NW IA with corn and soybeans as row crops. Saw firsthand the struggles and effort it takes to be a farmer/producer and the need to be a continual learner. I had an internship with my parent’s bank and got my first observation of the relationship a lender could have with their farming clients and prospects. This become my passion as I worked to become an agricultural lender. I now have 12 years in banking and am working the job I set out to obtain trying to help by advising clients and prospects of ways to make their operations or businesses more profitable. Now, as we record this agriculture in our area has been through some trying years and I get to witness again firsthand the power of good farm management both through my family, my in-laws, and my customers. My wife and two daughters and I respect agriculture very highly in our lives which is the motivation for trying to grow the material Farm4Profit has available for you.
    David Whitaker– originally from Montana and attended college at North Dakota State then moved to Iowa. Married into a family with a cow/calf operation with some of the cattle at his house in Central Iowa. David owns an auction and real estate business helping farmers sell their assets and personal property for the highest dollar/value available.
    Provide an overview for what the format will look like
    Welcome – Sharing things happening in our lives, things we observed, moments in time.
    Answer listener questions, go to the “mail bag”, and provide insight – we prefer submitted audio to share.
    What’s working for Ag – listener and/or farmer feedback
    Try to pick up tips from coffee shop talk
    Attack our topic of the week – we will include interviews with experts
    Topics with explanation
    Tips from those who have expertise and experience
    Examples of ways to implement in your farm or business
    Summarize and give application challenges
    Sneak Peek at future topics and share how to submit questions
    Share Conference updates and closing
