On this week's episode of The Rural Woman Podcast™, you'll meet Victoria Lee.Basil Ranch has been providing fresh herbs and produce to restaurants and grocers since 1996. Victoria took over the reigns in 2015 and saw an opportunity to grow the produce we were providing using hydroponics as a solution to food security in our northern climate. Their indoor hydroponic farm ran year round in the heart of Inglewood, providing fresh greens and mushrooms to local restaurants and grocers. Basil Ranch's goal was to contribute to the city's food security by using low tech, highly sustainable hydroponic food systems.In November of 2023, Victoria decided to scale back to the things that are near and dear to her heart and closed down the hydroponic farm to focus on the edible flower farm located in the heart of Highfield, on a City of Calgary Urban Farm Project.

Josh has been involved in agriculture since he was a kid. Growing up in a family who farmed walnuts left him with a knowledge of the industry. Josh has a Bachelor's Degree in Agriculture Business from California State University, Fresno and has over ten years of experience in the agriculture chemical industry. Josh, as co-owner and CEO of LMG Ag Products, spends his days doing a bit of everything. But his favorite responsibility is product procurement and negotiations. When outside of work Josh enjoys spending time with his wife, son & daughter, working on his health, reading, and serving in his community.In this enlightening episode of the Intentional Agribusiness Leader podcast, host Mark delves deep into the secrets of success with the inspirational Josh Cox. Josh shares his entrepreneurial journey, how he drives his team towards excellence, and the profound impact of intentionality in business leadership.From the outset, Josh emphasizes the importance of waking up with purpose each day, a trait that transcends the confines of mere weekdays. He draws comparisons to setting a thermostat, illustrating how operating at a higher 'temperature' means striving for more, something that he and his dedicated team understand well. Josh candidly dispels the idea of comfort zones, encouraging others to push beyond the conventional to achieve growth.The discussion branches out into strategies for retaining talented employees. Josh underlines the significance of making team members feel appreciated, and how it has become a cornerstone of his corporate culture. The pair then dissect the critical concept of vulnerability and how owning up to mistakes and learning from them forms a stronger bond among team members.Key Takeaways:Intentionality involves setting a higher standard for oneself, akin to having a 'thermostat' set above the average, to push for growth and excellence.Employee retention is bolstered by appreciation, and fostering a culture where everyone feels valued and driven towards personal and professional development.Vulnerability and owning mistakes are pivotal for building a healthy, respectful workplace culture where everyone is encouraged to grow and improve.Josh credits part of his success to seizing opportunities, continuous learning through reading, and maintaining a strong work ethic.Even for a successful entrepreneur like Josh, there's an emphasis on improving, specifically working more on the business rather than in it.Notable Quotes:"Intentional. You dive into, what does that mean? It's waking up every day with a purpose...""...to be able to retain people and do it successfully is to make them feel appreciated...""...listen to the critique... My door is always open.""...create some separation from your competition, and to be able to do that, you've got to be turned up to that 90 plus.""I couldn't tell you how many draft emails I have in my outbox... that I type and I'm not going to send that because they need to handle it on their own."Resources:The guest and host discuss several books that have influenced Josh Cox's entrepreneurial journey, including:"Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki"Can't Hurt Me" by David Goggins"The 10X Rule" by Grant CardoneEncourage yourself to dive into these reads as they offer insights into success, resilience, and elevating one's ambitions.Tune into this podcast episode to gain deeper insights into leading with intentionality, driving a high-performing team, and continuously learning and growing both personally and professionally.

On this episode of Wild & Uncut, we join you from SCI's 51st convention in Nashville, TN! Kristy Titus sits down with Dan Brooks, Rachel Ahtila & Madie Demaske.  Dan joined Safari Club International Foundation (SCIF) in 2015 and has over thirty years' experience in wildlife conservation and education. He was initially hired by SCIF as a Program Specialist for the Humanitarian Service programs. Dan was promoted in 2016 to the Business Operations Manager to administer the International Wildlife Museum in Tucson, Arizona and continued to manage the Humanitarian Service Programs for SCIF.  He was appointed to the Director of Education for SCIF in 2017.  Born and raised in Kelowna, British Columbia, Rachel Ahtila was a “horse-crazy bush kid,” who forged a winding path to becoming one of the most well-known women in hunting. Although she wasn't raised in a hunting community, her parents gave her a loose rein at the wise old age of 11. She then began traveling north for the summers to chase horses at a remote hunting lodge in the mountain valleys of the Muskwa-Kechika. A full-time guide, Rachel is also a public speaker and published writer. In 2013, she was a Prois Award Recipient, and was nominated as the youngest woman to be on the Board of Directors for the Wild Sheep Society of British Columbia in 2014. Madeline was born and raised in the foothills of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Her passion for hunting and the outdoors developed at a young age and has become a driving factor in her legal career. Madeline's love for the mountains took her to Montana State University where she received undergraduate honors degrees in Agriculture Business and Applied Economics. Madeline continued her education at the University of Kansas where she graduated with a Juris Doctor in May 2021 and became a licensed attorney in the state of Colorado soon after. Since, she has been dedicating her time to the mass denial of Tajikistan Marco Polo Argali import permits, as she has a ram stuck overseas herself. As an avid hunter and conservationist, Madeline offers a unique perspective to wildlife and hunting-related legal issues. She is currently part of SCI's team of staff attorneys as Litigation Associate.

Well if you’ve ever wondered what Patrick Cripps is like as a person beyond the field then hopefully you’ll get a deeper understanding from this chat.Patrick Cripps is one of the most dominant players in the AFL, always looking for ways to get better and that pursuit for improvement doesn’t end in the football arena. As well as being the co-captain of Carlton FC he is currently wrapping up his studies in Agriculture Business and he’s looking at chasing down a Psych degree to stack on top. Crippa is an avid reader and has an intense interest in ideologies around mindset, leadership and mindfulness.But at the end of the day, he’s just a genuinely good bloke that loves a beer and is a serious operator!Patrick Cripps Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/patrickcripps/?hl=enPatreon - Dyl & Best Friends PS.

Todays guest is Justin Webb a co-founder of AgriWebb a farm management software that is supporting farmers to digitise their paddock records replacing the old paper book. Justin's story spans many countries, many businesses including founding several of these himself in the financial space with successful exits. Justin speaks openly and candidly about not being a farming kid but needing to step in and run the family operation when his father fell ill. It was this moment where as a business man and a highly skilled mathematician he looked at the farming business at an analytical level, without pumping his tyres up but Justin and his co-founders have gone on to re-define farm management in Australian agriculture and are taking on the world. This is slightly different to other chats and I hope you learn a bit more about the world of AgTech, of AgriWebb, of the opportunities for the agriculture industry to and some more about the evolution of what is happening inside the farmgate. https://www.agriwebb.com/au/ Instagram: @Agriwebb --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/humans-of-agriculture/message

Welcome back to another episode of the Startup Junkies Podcast! This week, Caleb Talley and Jeff Amerine chat with special guest Sarah Frey, CEO, and founder of Frey Farms. Frey Farms is one of the nation's largest fresh produce suppliers and grows fresh produce in the Midwest, Southeast, and West Virginia. From a recent appearance on CBS to creating her book "The Growing Season: How I Built a New Life -- And Saved an American Farm", Sarah Frey has made an impact on many people telling her remarkable entrepreneurial story. In this episode, you will get to hear about Sarah's inspiring journey to save the family farm, an in-depth conversation around everything pumpkin related, and how COVID has affected the agriculture industry.

And I think that translates to more customer loyalty at the grocery retailer.”  (20:17) 

Based in Indonesia, Patrick is a former College Professor who moved from the US where he lived for 29 years, to run an Agriculture Business. Patrick's background and global experience has given him a unique perspective on emerging economic and social trends as we emerge into this post pandemic world.Click here to see my books at - https://www.amazon.com/author/derrenjosephBut if you connect with me on LinkedIn and I will give you a link to download the ebook for free - http://uk.linkedin.com/pub/derren-joseph-ea/2/533/34In terms of my background, my name is Derren Joseph and I am a part of a finance practice that works with entrepreneurs and expats doing business internationally. I am frequently asked for opinions that extend beyond taxation. It is not unusual for me to spend time with my clients and colleagues discussing socioeconomic trends and their impact on specific geographies and industries.The present pandemic is perhaps the single most important event of our lives. It will shape our world in unimaginable ways. I wrote a book in the hope that it may help entrepreneurs like you and my clients. Entrepreneurs who operate internationally and must now pivot and retool themselves and their teams for what is to come. Of course, I must admit my more selfish motives. I too need to pivot and to adapt to the unfolding revolution. A revolution in the way we do business internationally. I wrote this book to improve my own chances of survival.I decided to approach this in a more formal way than I normally would. Like many, I have read extensively, and I have tried to acknowledge this by naming those responsible for ideas that are not my own. What I have also done is spoken to people. I have spoken to around 150 people in my network. Some are well known but most are not. What they all have in common is that they have done business across borders and in many cases, across several countries. They have also done so with some degree of success. I have captured a few of the interviews as videos such as the one you are watching but most spoke with me privately and I must therefore respect their privacy. So where are we now? We are bruised, battered and scared. Scared of what awaits us. It is my hope that this book helps you as it has helped me. My message? It's simple. You must diversify your lifestyle.

Did you know methane is actually an odorless gas? Neither did we, until we sat down with this week's guest, Dr. Sara Place. An expert in cattle sustainability, Dr. Place discussed the Burger King ad that was released last week much to the chagrin of many in the agriculture industry. She highlights the tradeoff of being "cute" versus accurate in much of the marketing around food today, and really delves into how the ruminant animal works to provide humans with food from resources that would otherwise be unusable for us. This is a fun episode, with a lot of great takeaways and talking points. We tried not to get bogged down in the outrage that's surrounding the fast food chain's most recent ad. Dr. Place does an excellent job of helping us with that, and we hope you find this episode as enjoyable as we did. Dr. Sara Place Bio: Sara is the Chief Sustainability Officer at Elanco.

SHOW NOTES KEY IDEAS:  I am constantly monitoring as much as I can in the world of agriculture to bring good guests and content to all of you so you can join me in living a life full-time on your farm.  To this end, I came across an article in The Hutchinson News out of Kansas a few weeks back that was titled "Tips To Help Your New Agriculture Business Succeed".  Of course I was intrigued by this and thought that it might be a great fit for this show. I reached out to the author, David Inskeep, and requested an interview.  He was gracious enough to come on the show today and share his experiences and what led him to write that article. David is a retired investment banker, and he is now a volunteer for SCORE.  SCORE is a volunteer network of retired business experts that will help new entrepreneurs to get their businesses going.  As a result of what David encounters through these volunteer efforts he gets reminded of the challenges that so many entrepreneurs face.  And sometimes, he writes articles about these.  That is exactly what happened in this case. On today's show David is going to talk about the lessons he has learned as an investment banker as well as a volunteer with SCORE.  He will also talk about resources that you can access to help you succeed in your new agricultural business venture.

  Never Eat Lunch Alone Andrew Lauver’s grandfather always said, “never eat lunch alone.” A captivating thought that Andrew saw epitomized in a John F. Kennedy story of a tour of NASA, where he asked the janitor, “What do you do?” The janitor’s response? “Send rocket ships to space.” (https://youtube.com/aggrad) It’s the age old statement that is sometimes forgotten in the modern activities of today; every person, from the janitor to the CEO, matters in the mission of the company. An Iowan farmer, Andrew has been raised with the morals and values of small rural communities, but has capitalized on networking relationships to continue to chase his dreams of being a leader in agriculture and named to the AgGrad 30 Under 30 list. (https://youtube.com/aggrad) Current Professional Role: Manager of Industry Relations at Syngenta North America Focused on commodity associations and working with the grower leaders of these associations is how Andrew spends his professional career. It involves agriculture policy, discussion on issues and seizing opportunities in agriculture, and the efforts of an annual week long media, public speaking, technology and issues training seminar called Leadership at its Best. Being able to have comfortable conversation between both business leaders and growers, bridging the gap between the two, is imperative to his role. (https://youtube.com/aggrad) There isn’t a direct path to this position, it’s based more on the route taken and efforts made in the field to connect with industry professionals and growers alike. For Andrew, that route started at three years-old, bouncing in the buddy seat of the tractor with his father and grandfather; both men that he highly respects. Knowing that the family farm wouldn’t be able to sustain four families and three generations, he earned his undergrad at Iowa State University, then a masters in Agriculture Business from Kansas State and now he’s currently enrolled in Law School at Drake University, pursuing a masters of jurisprudence in agriculture and sustainability. Tips for building a relationship with someone who has more experience than you: Be careful of how you present yourself when you stand up and talk. You can always control what you wear; dress professionally. Come with talking points prepared for that meeting. Communicate the context of the agenda with the host of the meeting. Do your homework. Talk internally with colleagues with more experience than you. Over-prepare. When you don’t know, don’t be afraid to say, “I don’t know, but I will check and get back to you.” Recognize where your experience falls in line and find the best time and way to share. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Staying Motivated “As I keep moving through my career, I continue to remind myself that I am a farm kid from Lake City, Iowa. I always reflect back on those days in 4H exhibiting cattle. My father always told me that the calves eat breakfast before you do. It was important to feed them before I ate because they couldn’t feed themselves. That’s something that I have carried with me everywhere I go - executing on what I say I am going to do; if I say I’m going to do it, I will get it done. I never want to be more than one step from the farm.” “Where are you going?” “I’m going to see you Senator!” As a junior in college, Andrew was part of a group that started the Iowa State Corn Growers Association, a college chapter to the Iowa Corn Growers Association. Heading towards Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., Andrew saw Senator Charles Grassley eating an apple, sitting on a bench and reading a newspaper in the Des Moines, Iowa airport. (https://youtube.com/aggrad) “Surely he’s sitting first class,” Andrew though when he saw him. Boarding the plane, as Andrew went to place his bag in the overhead carrier, he realized he was assigned to sit right next to Senator Grassley....
