    12/03/2024 Duração: 35min

    In agriculture, we love to hate on acronyms and buzzwords, but like many things that become a daily part of our lives, some words — and the topic they represent — are worth getting past the initial dislike and really diving in to what a particular idea or topic could mean for the farm business....

    26/02/2024 Duração: 29min

    Did you always know what you wanted to be when you grew up? For many, their career arc is not necessarily what they planned.

    30/01/2024 Duração: 24min

    You can’t take it with you.

The trouble is, most of us operate... Read More

    If improving the cost of production is on your farming to-do list, starting with accurate numbers is a must.

    08/11/2023 Duração: 36min

    What does it mean to be a great leader?

    13/10/2023 Duração: 27min

    What would you try if you knew you couldn’t fail? Fear can be very motivating (ever been chased by a bull in a pasture?) but fear — of failure, of success, of the unknown — can also be paralyzing. Each person’s experience with fear is different, but it’s the very real stories of overcoming fear... Read More

  • Mind Your Farm Business — Ep. 89: Making put and call options an approachable tool

    07/09/2023 Duração: 31min

    We often hear that farming is a risky game, due to a massive amount of variables. When you have risk, you need to do what you can to make sure that you’re limiting the potential downside. It’s not realistic to make a farm business risk-neutral, but we can limit the exposure to losses through risk... Read More

  • Mind Your Farm Business — Ep 88: Putting the whole picture together

    31/07/2023 Duração: 29min

    Many times on the Mind Your Farm Business podcast we focus on one issue or topic, as if challenges run independent of each other. On this episode, host Shaun Haney throws that all out the window, and attempts to cover a cloud of issues in farm management. There are many issues impacting the farmers and... Read More

  • Mind Your Farm Business — Ep. 87: The new realities of people management

    04/07/2023 Duração: 27min

    Agriculture has long struggled to attract and retain enough people at nearly every stage of the industry; from general labour, to skilled operators, to farm management, and in the c-suite. In certain geographies, local job markets have made things even more difficult, as higher paying jobs pulled people away from the farm. But now, just... Read More

  • Mind Your Farm Business — Ep. 86: Strategic storytelling

    07/06/2023 Duração: 26min

    Those in agriculture have been encouraged to “tell their story” for years, all in the name of maintaining the social license to operate, or to gain acceptance and understanding of farm practices by the public. But there’s another reason for farmers and agri-business owners to tell a good story: to attract and retain great staff... Read More

    12/04/2023 Duração: 31min

    Many entrepreneurs struggle with finding the right people to join their team. Right now, the employment market is also very tight as supply is low, and competitiveness for workers is so strong. So much attention is paid to the recruitment of new employees, but how often do we actually focus on the onboarding process? Research... Read More

  • Mind Your Farm Business — Ep. 83: Team building under pressure

    14/03/2023 Duração: 47min

    There are many parallels between coaching and team sports and running an effective work force. Leveraging skill sets, managing personality conflicts, goal setting, and teamwork are just as relevant during the seeding season or harvest as they are on the pitch or playing field. For this episode of the Mind Your Farm Business podcast, host... Read More

  • Mind Your Farm Business — Ep. 82: Hiring right the first time

    20/02/2023 Duração: 38min

    There’s a saying that goes hire slow and fire fast. But does that old adage hold true? Amber Johnson, CEO and owner of Forge Performance Group, based in Alberta, says that there isn’t a simple answer to that; if you’ve done the right preparation work ahead of time, asked key questions, and offered a comprehensive...

  • Mind Your Farm Business — Ep. 81: Chase the Bears with your farm business

    04/01/2023 Duração: 22min

    What’s your big, scary dream? The one you really feel you want to achieve? If you’re stuck on how to reach it, former U.S. member of congress Ric Keller says you have to do two things: write it down and then read it day and night. Keller has written a book on goal setting and... Read More

  • Mind Your Farm Business — Ep. 80: Culture, core-values, and high performing teams

    19/12/2022 Duração: 23min

    Strong culture and core values are the foundation of a well-functioning team. This applies to business, sports, and, yes, families. When business meets family, as often is the experience for farmers, family members need to work together to define the core values of their operation. In this episode of  The Mind Your Farm Business podcast,... Read More

  • Mind Your Farm Business — Ep. 79: Planning for business growth

    05/12/2022 Duração: 20min

    You can’t grow the farm out of a problem. If growth of the farm is in the plan — whether driven by outside influences or an internal dream, such as bringing more people in to the farm structure — it pays to take a hard look inward and backward first, before forging ahead. Michael Langemeier... Read More

  • Mind Your Farm Business — Ep. 78: The perks and pitfalls of the generation gap

    16/11/2022 Duração: 22min

    One of the biggest rewards of working in a family business is the opportunity to work every day with multiple generations. This can provide mentorship, learning, and truly rewarding memories and experiences, but it can also present real challenges. Generational differences are real but also sometimes misunderstood, as stereotypes skew perceptions and behaviours. For this... Read More

  • Mind Your Farm Business — Ep. 77: Budgeting on the farm

    28/10/2022 Duração: 22min

    If the farm is waiting for the tax filing to sort out profit and loss, decisions are being made for close to a year, and maybe more, without a full financial picture. Budgeting may be up there on the favourites list with a root canal or unclogging toilets; it’s rare that someone really loves developing... Read More

  • Mind Your Farm Business — Ep. 76: The power of peer groups

    13/09/2022 Duração: 21min

    Peer to peer learning is incredibly useful in any business, and agriculture is no different. Put simply, peer groups allow for the collective sharing of great ideas. Perhaps just as valuable, they also allow for the collective learning of hard lessons, so that peers within a group don’t have to make the same mistakes. Evan... Read More
