In today’s show, Tracy and Terry discuss the controversial and often emotional subject of farm growth in an episode titled “Is Bigger Always Better?” As the original entrepreneurs, farmers like to grow and develop their operations. It is what good farmers do, right? Nowadays, looking at our current farming landscape, we might ask if farmers have become obsessed with growth for the sake of growth? If so, how did we get to this point? Tracy and Terry explore these questions, plus they review some of the “hidden” costs, financial concerns, and important considerations that tend to get brushed aside, or completely forgotten, amongst the emotional excitement surrounding new opportunities to grow the farming operation. Are you looking at growing your operation? Have you asked yourself why? Too often, growth is not questioned. Have you considered all angles, both good and bad, of the opportunity? As a Farm Management Consultant, Terry has an extensive career dedicated to helping farmers make the right decisions for their farm business and family. We are excited to have him join us in this episode, where we explore the feather-ruffling topic of farm growth.

In today’s episode, Tracy speaks to Terry Betker from BackSwath Management about “The Keys to Financial Success.” So, what are the keys to financial success for farmers? Terry and Tracy both agree that financials are hands down the keys to financial success in farming operations. So why are they so important, you may ask? Farm business financials capture financial performance regularly, and without that information, it’s hard to get clarity on what your financial strengths and weaknesses are. More importantly, without that clarity and understanding, all decisions are made in a void of knowledge. These decisions can work out sometimes, however, they can often have very negative financial consequences on the farm. Terry even goes on to state that financials are incredibly crucial for all businesses, and even more so, for farming operations. As important as they are, Terry shares that many farmers still do not have financials, and if they do have them, a good number of those farmers do not use the goldmine of data that can are found on those sheets of paper. Join us as we explore the importance of financials, what the most important statements are, and how these documents can be used as the keys to financial success for your farming operation.

In today’s show, we speak with Terry Betker from Backswath Management about “Setting Your Farm Up For Success.” “By failing to prepare (plan), you are preparing (planning) to fail.” Benjamin Franklin. This quote sets the stage for today’s discussion. If you do not prepare and plan in your business, you are preparing to set your farm up for failure. Terry and his team at Backswath are management consultants, and they work with farmers across Canada to help them with; financial, transition, growth, conflict, and HR management services. Over his many years of working with farmers, Terry has noticed that the farms that take time to plan and run their farm like a business deliberately; these are the farms that do best. In this episode, Terry and Tracy dive into what exactly farm planning is and why it really is needed even if you are a small operation. Terry’s underlying message is that it does not need to be complicated. Simply put, it is time spent intentionally working on the farm business and not in the business. In other words, stepping away from the day to day farming activities and taking the time to think about things differently. As you slow down, it is amazing how you begin to see your farming operation so differently. Would you like to build a strong business foundation for your farm? Join Terry and Tracy as they navigate through Terry’s simple framework that he calls the Foundation For Farm Success.
