Podcasts about Foa

Vendredi 24 janvier 2025Jérémie Foa nous présente son livre Survivre - Une histoire des guerres de Religion paru aux Editions du Seuil. Dans le monde incertain des guerres de Religion (1562-1598), survivre est tout un art. Comment mentir, se déguiser, s'échapper, simuler ou dissimuler sa confession religieuse ? Comment se faufiler, tromper ou surprendre son adversaire ? Quelles sont, en somme, les tactiques pour tenir dans un monde soudain hostile, dans lequel le voisin peut dénoncer, le boucher empoisonner, votre accent vous trahir, le fils égorger, le mari mentir et la rue naguère familière devenir guet-apens ? « Car en matière de guerres intestines, écrit Montaigne, votre valet peut être du parti que vous craignez. Et lorsque la religion sert de prétexte, les parentés mêmes deviennent peu fiables ».En s'appuyant sur des chroniques contemporaines et sur un matériau archivistique exceptionnel, cette enquête entend rendre sensible ce que fut l'expérience concrète des « tristes hommes d'après 1560 ». Parce que la guerre civile rend incertain ce qui semblait le mieux établi – l'identité des êtres et des choses, le statut des lieux, le langage lui-même –, Survivre entreprend de mettre en lumière les savoir-faire et les savoir-vivreavec le trouble. Mais ce livre n'entend pas seulement restituer au plus près des documents ce que fut l'épreuve de la guerre intestine. Il propose une relecture ambitieuse de l'ensemble des guerres de Religion, laboratoire de notre modernité, désormais envisagées au prisme de la condition d'incertitude.Jérémie Foa est maître de conférences habilité à diriger des recherches à Aix-Marseille Université, membre du laboratoire TELEMMe et spécialiste de l'histoire des guerres de Religion en Europe. Il est notamment l'auteur de Tous ceux qui tombent. Visages du massacre de la Saint-Barthélemy (La Découverte, 2021 ; Prix lycéen du livre d'histoire de Blois, 2022).

Now and then, you get the chance to pause, look back, and really take stock. And when that moment rolls around, it can be quietly powerful.    That's exactly what this episode is. A milestone. A moment. A celebration.    This year marks 10 years of Farm Owners Academy, and I wanted to sit down with two people who've been there from the start — FOA founder Greg Johnson and our CEO Sam Johnson — and reflect not just on where we've come from, but where we're going.    In this one, we unpack the heart behind FOA, the thinking that shaped the Top Producers Program, and the impact it's had on farming families across Australia and New Zealand.    But more than that, we talk about what truly sets top producers apart — and why, now more than ever, mindset, business acumen, and strategic focus are the critical tools for leading through uncertainty.    Because right now, volatility is the new normal.    Climate, markets, costs — they're all shifting. And that means farming families need a stronger compass and clearer tools than ever before.    In this episode, we explore:  How FOA began, the purpose behind its creation, and the real-world gaps it was built to fill  The 9-step Top Producers Model — and how it's helped thousands build more robust, profitable, and scalable farm businesses  How top producers use entrepreneurial thinking to stay ahead in uncertain times  The power of mindset — and how inner growth creates lasting, external transformation  Real-life examples of families who've doubled their scale, renegotiated better finance, and gained strategic clarity — all within months    So wherever you're at — whether you're in growth, in a rut, or somewhere in between — this episode is an invitation to step up, get clear, and take charge.    Our last Top Producers 2-Day Workshop for the year is happening June 23rd and 24th in Melbourne (or online if you can't be there in person). And I can tell you, it's two days that could completely change the trajectory of your business.    This is your chance to step out of the day-to-day and rebuild from the top down—with the same framework the top 20% of farmers are using to outperform, year after year.    We'll walk you through how to transform your thinking, optimise your business model, and propel your farm forward—with clarity, purpose, and a clear plan in hand.    But here's the truth: you've got to choose it.    Because the best businesses don't happen by chance—they're built by people who make time to grow, who lean in when it's hard, and who say yes when most would sit back.    Get off the tools. Step out of the chaos. And create space to lead with purpose.

« L'arrivée des nazis au pouvoir procéda d'un choix, d'un calcul et d'un pari ». C'est ce qu'écrit l'historien Johann Chapoutot. Dans son nouvel essai (« Les irresponsables », Gallimard), il pointe du doigt l'attitude de ceux qu'il qualifie de « libéraux autoritaires » : ceux qui ont ouvert la porte à Hitler et ont décidé de faire alliance avec l'extrême droite. Dans son livre, l'historien nous laisse entendre de nombreux échos entre cette période et celle que nous traversons : c'est pour le moins perturbant ! Johann Chapoutot est notre invité, cette semaine. Dans son « A quoi tu penses ? », Martin Legros estime que par les temps qui courent il est temps de faire resurgir la question éthique fondamentale de Simone Weil : « Quel est ton tourment ? ». Enfin, dans « En toutes lettres ! », l'historien et écrivain Gil Bartholeyns écrit au XXIe siècle.

Where have you learned leadership?  On the farm? In a day job? Inherited perhaps?  For most, NONE have learned the vital art and science of leadership.  It is a learned skill. One we can all commit to and master.   One we all need to be successful in life and business, and in succeeding in the pursuit of a family farm that can transcend generations…  It is a privilege to introduce Paul Ainsworth, Managing Partner of Lincoln Institute to you in this episode - one that speaks deeply to the heart of leadership, resilience, and the power of community.  Over 15 years, and after a decorated career in the Australian Army, Paul has helped shape leaders in the veterinary and agricultural industries. A graduate of the Australian Defence Force Academy and the Royal Military College Duntroon, Paul served as an Infantry Officer with international deployments across five foreign countries, culminating in a role as a military observer in the Middle East.   His leadership journey continued beyond the Army, first as the inaugural Director of ALDI Foods in Australia and then, as CEO and Board Chairman of Australia's fastest-growing company in the energy sector.   Now, as the Founding Principal of the Lincoln Institute, Paul is dedicated to equipping veterinary and agricultural professionals with the leadership, management, and communication skills they need to thrive.   Leadership is more than just making decisions. It's about connection. It's about knowing when to step forward and when to step back. It's about building a team that isn't just technically strong but also aligned, empowered, and accountable.  Here Are Some of The Key Leadership Lessons from This Episode:  How self-aware are you as a leader? How you think you come across isn't always how you do. Where might there be a gap between your intent and your impact?    Who's in your corner? Isolation is the enemy—whether you're a vet, a farmer, or a business owner. Who do you lean on? How are you building a strong support network?    Are you pushing yourself and your team to grow? Real learning happens outside the comfort zone. Where are you playing it too safe?    Are you empowering or micromanaging? Move from telling to coaching. Teach the standard, then trust your people to own it.    Do your people know what's expected—before there's a problem? The best way to avoid hard conversations is to set clear expectations from the start.     Are you creating clarity or confusion? Strong teams don't need coddling—they need to know where they stand, what success looks like, and how to get there.  We are delighted that our FOA Platinum Mastermind & Alumni Members have access to the Lincoln Institute Emerging Leaders Programs. For more information about FOA's programs and our connection with Lincoln, book a Complimentary Coaching Call here.  Paul and his team at Lincoln Institute have been working alongside farm owners, veterinarians, and business leaders for years—helping them not just lead, but lead well.   This is a conversation about what really makes a difference in leadership—the moments that test us, the decisions that define us.  A sincere thanks to Paul for joining us in this conversation. Your knowledge, wisdom and insights are so valuable and transferrable.     Sincerely,     Jeremy Hutchings and The Farm Owners Academy Team

If something happened to you tomorrow, would your farm keep running? Would your team know what to do? Would your business continue to operate, or does it all rely on you? It's one of those things we don't like to think about, but it's critical — not just for succession planning or long-term growth, but for building a farm business that's resilient and can operate without you. Today, I have the pleasure of sitting down with two of the best people to have this conversation with — Tim and Cheryl Freak. Tim and Cheryl have been with Farm Owners Academy from the very beginning. They've spent the last 10 years transforming their farm into a ‘Freedom Farm' but also, travelling the country in the Farm Owners Academy caravan, working alongside farmers to help them create farm businesses that thrive without total dependence on them. This is a powerful conversation because it challenges the traditional mindset in farming — the idea that working harder is the only way forward. Tim and Cheryl show us the alternative way. In this episode, we unpack: How they transitioned from a business that was completely reliant on them to one that now operates smoothly without them being hands-on every day.   Why they chose to bring in business partners — giving key team members skin in the game, rather than just employing a farm manager.   How they've structured their operation with clear roles, responsibilities, and systems that ensure everything runs efficiently — whether they're there or not.   The impact of their farm visits with FOA members — where they ask the tough questions and help these incredible people work through challenges that they often don't talk about anywhere else. We also talk about Freedom Farming — what it really means and why it's different for everyone. For Tim and Cheryl, their definition of freedom farming means they now have the flexibility to travel, spend quality time with family, and step into roles where they're mentoring and coaching other farmers. There's so much wisdom in this conversation, and if you're feeling stuck — if you're working harder but not seeing the freedom, security, or lifestyle you want to achieve — then this episode will give you plenty to think about. Sincerely, Jeremy Hutchings and The Farm Owners Academy Team P.S. Inspired by Tim and Cheryl's journey to creating a Freedom Farm? Ready to take your farm business to the next level?

Today, we're diving into a cracker of a conversation with three of our incredible FOA business coaches—Rick Morris, Marina Gregor, and Jack Owen. They not only run their own successful farming enterprises but also help guide others in our FOA community to achieve remarkable results.    In this episode, we reflect on the wins, challenges, and insights that shaped 2024. You'll hear how these coaches, through bold decisions and a deep understanding of their numbers, transformed their farms by simplifying operations and finding focus. They share firsthand how these changes have driven profitability and reduced overwhelm—an approach that's reshaping the mindset around diversification in farming.    Before we get into it, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Jack, Marina, and Rick for joining me in this episode. Your dedication, commitment, and input to this community are deeply valued. The way you lead by example and share your stories with such authenticity is inspiring. It's people like you who make this community what it is, and I couldn't be more grateful to have you as part of the Farm Owners Academy team.    It's not just about numbers though. This conversation also highlights the role of mindset, strategic planning, and community in navigating tough seasons and setting the stage for success. Whether it's embracing the three Rs—rest, reflect, reset, or having those all-important planning days off-farm, I hope you'll leave inspired to tackle 2025 with purpose and clarity.    If you want to set yourself up for success in 2025, The Ultimate 2025 Planning Guide is packed with tools to help you map out your best year yet.

Conservation Technology Information Center: https://www.ctic.org/Regrow Ag: https://www.regrow.ag/ The Nature Conservancy: https://www.nature.org/en-us/FoA 248: Regrow Merges Agronomic Insights with Sustainability MetricsToday's episode is made possible thanks to the support of the Conservation Technology Information Center (CTIC). Formed in 1982 to support the widespread use of economically and environmentally beneficial agricultural systems, CTIC's mission is to champion, promote and provide information on climate-smart technologies and sustainable agricultural systems that conserve and enhance soil, water, air and wildlife resources and are productive and profitable.Members of this non-profit organization include farmers, policy makers, regulators, academic researchers, agribusiness leaders, conservation group personnel, farm media, and others. It is supported by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, and other public entities. Thank you very much to the Conservation Technology Information Center for supporting agricultural innovation and the Future of Agriculture podcast. All right, now let's dive into today's episode. I'm excited for this, because while the content of today's show are right in our wheelhouse at the data-driven intersection of technology and sustainability, I don't think I've ever had an episode quite like this. We're not featuring an individual or company, but a collaboration. A group of people who saw a problem in the lack of important information, and came together to make that happen. To tell this story, I'm very pleased to have on the show three guests: Bill Salas who is the chief strategy officer at Regrow, Dave Gustafson, project director at the Conservation Technology Information Center, and Kris Johnson, director of agriculture at The Nature Conservancy. Some brief context here: CTIC, Regrow, and The Nature Conservancy are all partners is bringing together the Observational Tillage Information System, or OpTIS. This is an automated system to map tillage, residue cover, winter cover, and soil health practices using remote sensing data. And before anyone Tweets me concerned about using remote sensing to track on-farm practices, you should know: while OpTIS calculations are performed at the farm-field scale using publicly available data, the privacy of individual producers is fully protected by reporting only spatially-aggregated results at regional and watershed scales.This collaboration has been happening for over 14 years, long before just about anyone was talking about carbon sequestration or climate smart agriculture, so in a lot of ways, this effort was ahead of its time. And it's a good thing it was, because these data are needed now more than ever. So, I highly recommend you stick around through all of today's episode, as we talk about the past, present and future of OpTIS, highlight some of the use cases it enables, and talk about the importance of efforts like this for the future of agriculture. And this isn't just answering the simple question of are farmers doing x practice at not. This data can inform much more nuanced questions, like: Why do farmers employ conservation practice in certain areas vs others? Does this correlate with investments made in those areas? What is the relationship between crop insurance and conservation...

Deux-cent-unième numéro de Chemins d'histoire, sixième numéro de la sixième saison, émission animée par Luc Daireaux Émission diffusée le mardi 29 octobre 2024 Thème : Manuel de survie en temps de guerre civile Invité : Jérémie Foa, maître de conférences, habilité à diriger des recherches, auteur de Survivre. Une histoire des guerres de Religion, Seuil, 2024.

Nous sommes dans les années 1570/1580 , celles durant lesquelles Michel de Montaigne s'affaire à la rédaction de ses Essais. Cet ouvrage dans lequel le philiosophe traite d'un nombre considérable de sujets allant de la médecine aux affaires domestiques en passant par les arts et l'histoire des chevaux. Il y mêle des réflexions sur sa propre vie et sur celle de l'Humain, en général. Les Essais nous montrent aussi, et peut-être surtout, comment vivre ou survivre en temps de guerre civile, de guerre de religion. Dans le Livre IIl, Montaigne écrit : « Je me suis couché mille fois chez moi, imaginant qu'on me trahirait et assommerait cette nuit-là : composant avec la fortune que ce fut sans effroi et sans langueur. Et me suis écrié après mon patenôtre : « Ces terres que j'ai tant cultivées, c'est donc un soldat impie qui les aura ? » (Montaigne écrit ces derniers mots en latin.) Il notera aussi : « Je passais un jour de paix, pendant nos guerres civiles, avec un honnête gentilhomme et de bonne façon. Il était du parti contraire au mien mais je n'en savais rien : car il se contrefaisait tout autre ; et le pis de ces guerres, c'est que les cartes sont si mêlées, votre ennemi n'étant distingué d'avec vous de nulle marque apparente, ni de langage, ni de port, ni de façon, nourri en mêmes lois, mêmes mœurs et même foyer, qu'il est malaisé d'y éviter confusion et désordre. » Comment survivre dans le monde incertain des guerres de Religion ? Comment mentir, se déguiser, simuler ou dissimuler sa confession religieuse ? Comment échapper à la dénonciation d'un proche ou d'un voisin ? Quels mots faut-il employer ? Comment les prononcer avec justesse ? Comment identifier les objets qui trahissent ? Comment être prudent ? Faut-il être sincère ? Partons en des temps où l'art de la maîtrise du secret est une question de vie ou de mort… Avec nous : Jérémie Foa, maître de conférence à Aix-Marseille Université. « Survivre – Une histoire des guerres de Religion » aux; éd. Seuil. Sujets traités : Michel de Montaigne, guerre, religion, vie, mort, humain Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be :https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Intéressés par l'histoire ?

It's incredible seeing the results members of our Platinum Mastermind are achieving, their commitment to the program and the progression of their business and personal development.   FOA Alumni Members David (Diesel) & Rhianna Low, make a great example of this.   Commencing the program in July 2017, Diesel & Rhianne have become valued members and real contributors to our growing community. Starting as a mixed farm struggling for profitability, the operation was completely dependent on them, with Diesel typically working 80 hours per week. It is fair to say that they have completely transformed their business and lives.   Benchmarking and the support of our Analytics Team helped them decide to focus on ONE enterprise to achieve more focus and scale.   Forecasting and Decision Support Tools have allowed them to set down a financial roadmap that provides them more confidence in the resilience and performance of their business model for years to come.   Their 2 Page Strategic Plan helps them remain aligned and focused together as they prioritise business improvement through structured annual and quarterly meetings.   Having a Business Coach dedicated to their success has helped them navigate some challenging business and personal times, and consistently held them accountable for the implementation of their plan and toward their compelling goals.   FOA's Personal Development Training has helped them together move from a mindset of blame, lack and hardship to one of positivity, abundance and gratitude.   The Business Development Training has supported them to set down structures, systems and professional disciplines that drive on-farm efficiency, and support an on-farm team that helps them get it done and enjoy more balance, fun and freedom in their lives.   Last, but certainly not least, the friendships and the community they are now part of is a highlight of their 7-year journey with FOA.   The FOA Team are delighted to welcome Rhianne Low into our Team as an Accountability Coach. We also highly value Diesel's contribution as a mentor to others in the program. Diesel & Rhianne, thank you for your positivity and for being such dedicated members of the FOA Alumni & Community. And thank you for sharing your story and FOA journey with us.   Simply, incredible.   Jeremy Hutchings and the Farm Owners Academy Team  

Sabanto: https://sabantoag.com/FoA 241: From Drives to Driverless with Craig Rupp of SabantoI'm really glad to get Craig Rupp back on the show today. Some of you might remember his interview on episode 241, where Craig shared the incredible journey of building 640 Labs which he sold to the Climate Corp and became the FieldView Drive. At that time, we also talked about his newest venture, Sabanto, which is bringing autonomy to agriculture. Since that episode over three years ago, Craig and the team at Sabanto have evolved their offering from autonomy as a service to a kit that allows dealers and farmers to convert the equipment they already have to include autonomous capabilities. Along with that, they offer a service for remote operating and monitoring, which kind of blows my mind. Craig is hiring a team of remote tractor drivers to monitor several autonomous tractors at once, and we'll talk a lot about that in today's episode. Sabanto has also found an interesting niche in sod farmers. They work with farmers across basically all crops, but the amount of passes these sod farmers have to make in a given year, makes an offering like Sabanto has really compelling. This is also an episode about the evolution of on-farm autonomy and what the future might look like as adoption continues to grow. For a refresher on Craig's bio: Raised on a farm in Iowa, Craig Rupp started his career in 1988 as a hardware engineer at Motorola, designing and developing the first GSM and Iridium mobile stations and John Deere in 2002, developing the Starfire receiver and Greenstar display.In 2012, Craig founded 640 Labs, envisioning a simple iPad as a data collection and monitoring device for agriculture. Acquired by Monsanto in 2014, he made his FieldView Drive one of the most ubiquitous and low-cost data collection devices in agriculture.In 2018, Craig founded Sabanto, a company that provides autonomous solutions for agriculture. He was the first to autonomously plant a farmer's field in Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Illinois, Missouri, Texas, and Indiana.I really enjoy whenever I get a chance to talk to Craig, his intelligence and real world experience comes through in the wisdom that he shares.

Syngenta: https://www.syngenta.com/en[Soil Sense Podcast] Soil Health Assessment with Jordon Wade, Ph.D.FoA 364: Supporting Soil Health with Dr. Steve Rosenzweig and Dr. Abbey Wick [Soil Sense Crossover]Future of Agriculture 123: Nerding Out About Soil Health with Dr. Abbey Wick of North Dakota State UniversityFuture of Agriculture 162: Cannabis Inputs with Dr Colin Bell of Mammoth MicrobesReally excited this week to bring Dr. Matt Wallenstein onto the show. Matt is the Chief Soil Scientist for Syngenta Group, where he leads their efforts to enable farmers around the world to improve their productivity and profitability through science-based innovation through soil health. Part of that team is my good friend and co-host of the Soil Sense podcast Dr. Abbey Wick, who you've heard on this show in the past. As well as Dr. Jordan Wade, who was a guest on a very fascinating episode of Soil Sense a year or so ago that I'll have to link to in the show notes because it's a great one. Anyway, so Matt's putting together this dream team of soil scientists and I had to bring him on the show to figure out what I can about what they're up to. Prior to joining Syngenta in 2022, he was a professor and department head of Soil and Crop Sciences at Colorado State University. His research focused on how the soil microbiome interacts with plants and the environment. He also co-founded a startup called Growcentia, which commercialized a phosphorus solubilizing microbial consortia developed in his academic lab and went on to develop other biostimulants. A cool connection there is one of Matt's co-founders at Growcentia was actually on this show five years ago. I didn't know Matt at the time so that's more of a coincidence than anything else, but that's episode 165 if you want to find that deep track. Anyway, i'll drop you into today's conversation when Matt is telling me what attracted him to this position, even though he already had a startup and a thriving career at Colorado State when he decide to make the leap two years ago to Syngenta.

Headstorm: https://headstorm.com/AGPILOT: https://headstorm.com/agpilot/Arable: https://www.arable.com/FoA 256: Agtech Collaboration and Data-Driven Decision Agriculture with Jim Ethington of ArableToday's episode features Arable CEO Jim Ethington. Jim first appeared on this show on episode 256 back in 2021 and I was pleased to get a chance to sit down for a second interview with him in person at World AgriTech in March. His background is impressive. Prior to joining Arable in 2018, he spent 10 years at The Climate Corporation where he was VP of Product and grew the company to 50 million paid acres and built a team from 10 to over 600 individuals. So he started at Climate in 2008 when they were still called Weatherbill and stayed with the company through the big acquisition in 2013 and for years after that. So Jim has been thinking about the challenges and opportunities in digital agriculture for a long long time and it shows in the insights he shares in this episode. If you're not familiar with Arable, they are an ag technology company that provides data insights and recommendations to help farms be more productive and sustainable. Specifically they have created an intuitive system for farmers and agronomists to optimize irrigation, fertilizer applications and other important farm decisions. This is all based around their Arable Mark 3 device. Jim is also one of the guests suggested by Lawrence King at Headstorm to give one of their client testimonials. Similar to Amie at Wilbur Ellis and Claudia at Microsoft, I wanted to make this one a full length episode because Jim is someone I wanted to have back on the show anyway to get an update on Arable and more of his insights on the future of ag. And he doesn't disappoint. I'll drop you into the conversation where he's explaining the key insight from farmers that informs the work they do at Arable.

If you've been a long time listener to this show - i mean a REALLY long time listener - you heard Spencer back on episode 68 in 2017 and Pete on episode 117 in 2018. I'll link to both of those classics in the show notes. Since that time the two organizations have partnered together based on a shared mission of investing in farmer-led innovations. They each have unique aspects to their models, which i'll let Pete, Margaret and Spencer describe to you. But they also are joining forces in a way to put the farmer at the center of investing in and incubating early stage agtech companies. There are some really interesting points brought up in this conversation that I've been thinking about a lot since we recorded it a couple of months ago. Things like, should billion dollar unicorn exits be the measure of success for venture capital? Or number of viable lasting companies? Or maybe jobs and economic impact on communities? Is the fact that venture capital gets poured into so many businesses that fail a feature or a bug when it comes to advancing agriculture? And does the fact that we are in a commodity driven business mean that by definition, all of the value created by companies will eventually get squeezed out and extracted by low cost leaders? Some thought provoking questions that I think you'll enjoy pondering as you listen to Spencer, Margaret, and Pete. Spencer Stensrude invests at the intersection of transformational technology and agriculture. He is the CEO of Ag Ventures Alliance, which is a farmer-owned cooperative with a mission to increase farm profitability. They make venture capital investments in startups with a direct impact on farmers. Before joining AgVA, he started and operated some small businesses, invested in income-producing real estate, and worked in the commercial lending industry.Pete Nelson has been experimental farming, venture investing, and creating innovation hubs in agriculture with farmers across the US and Canada since 1997. He is currently co-founder and President of AgLaunch, a nationally recognized farmer-led innovation platform for advancing the next generation of agricultural technologies.Margaret Oldham is the Vice President of Innovation at AgLaunch. She is an experienced marketer and coach with a reputation for...

Finansministeren har netop fundet over 11 mia. kroner ekstra i statskassen. Sidste år dukkede der uventet 20 mia. kroner op. Hvorfor bliver der spinket og sparet på danskernes velfærd, hvis statskassen er fuld af penge?

On today's episode, we have Sydney Robinson, the executive director of DSN, discussing the most recent DSN posts that have garnered significant engagement. Sydney reflected on the recent event she organized in Charlotte, North Carolina, which was a major success. She described how practice leaders came together to share insights and learn from the FOA coaching team, creating a deeply supportive environment. The primary focus was on defining the differences between leadership and management in dental practices. Sydney noted that many office managers lack a clear understanding of their roles, which the workshop aimed to address. They utilized DSN resources, such as the operations manual, and engaged participants in breakout groups for hands-on learning and collaboration. Mark emphasized the value of live interaction, sharing his experiences from a recent ThriveLive event. He expressed how meeting people face-to-face provides an irreplaceable energy and connection. They both agreed that, while virtual communication is important, live workshops offer unique opportunities to exchange best practices and build meaningful relationships. Together, they delved into a question about hiring office managers. Sydney highlighted the importance of hiring individuals who fit the practice's culture and values, stressing that alignment is crucial for successful leadership. Mark shared his perspective as a practice owner, encouraging listeners to find candidates who share their vision while balancing strong leadership skills. Their insights provided practical advice for anyone looking to strengthen their team.

For so many of us, so often our self-confidence and sense of self go up and down with the seasons. We feel good about ourselves when times are good, and we are intently hard on ourselves, and even think we are failing, when the season, the conditions or the markets go against us.   Before Christmas we saw a shock hit the sheep-meat market, impacting meat producers at that time significantly. In many areas of our country, we see farming families navigating extended flood events, and in others extended dries.   In this podcast I invite Tracy Secombe- Director Well-being & Coaching at FOA- to join me and explore this issue, and how- as a farm business owner- we can overcome it and rise above it.   Ladies & gentlemen, we are not our bank account balance. We are so much more than ‘just farmers' and ‘just farmers wives'. We are leaders of families and great businesses. We are citizens in communities and valued friends to so many. We are good, hard-working, dependable, capable humans doing very good work and making very real differences in so many ways.   As we explore in this important discussion, we have the opportunity to take ownership of OUR IDENTITY. We have the opportunity to change our personal story and realise that farming is what we do, it is NOT who we are.   In the episode, Tracy shares some tips on how to expand our identity, to include all the important roles we play; how to find a greater sense of balance between them; and how to also shift our sense of self to ‘who we are' rather than ‘what we do'.   Tracy also helps us understand how can best navigate those moments in life when our Identity needs to shift from an active farmer into retirement; from technical farmer to farm business owner; from ‘farmers wife' to ‘partner in a successful family business' and from career person to being a Mum & Dad for the first time…   Changing our story and embracing practices that support a strpgner sense- of self and a well-rounded IDENTITY is fundamental in the pursuit of growth and expansion in any area of life.   Elite athletes, musicians, artists and professionals all get coaching on this – Australian Rugby Captain Michael Hooper's interview with Ben Crowe on his podcast ‘Car Chats with Crowey' being a great example. Good enough for them, equally important for us.   Thank you Tracy for your time and for your insights on such an important topic at this time.   Thank you.   Hutch & Team

As a veteran of the communication technology industry, I've seen the trenches of tribalism firsthand. It's time to set aside the generational battle cries and union banners, and in this episode, I'm opening up about my journey through the maze of 'us versus them'..Tonight's discussion ventures into the landscape of professional organizations like FOA and BICSI, dissecting their unique roles and how they can shape our careers. However, the true heartbeat of this episode lies in the pursuit of a united industry tribe where the low voltage buzz is about innovation, not division. I extend an invitation for all of us to reach across proverbial aisles, share ideas, and enrich our collective experience. And as we wrap up, I encourage you to connect, not just for the sake of knowledge but for building a stronger, more inclusive community where every voice can be heard.

Variable Rate done RIGHT with SWAT MAPS: https://swatmaps.com/Kessler Ag Ventures: https://kesslerag.ca/FoA 398: The Evolution of Precision Agriculture with Cory Willness and Derek Massey of Croptimistic TechnologyThis is the first installment of a new series of the podcast called "Field Reports", where we will hear from the people who actually use and hopefully benefit from the innovations we so regularly discuss on the show. I've been thinking about this for a long time, because in this respect, the show has been very one-sided. We hear from the visionaries that are creating new ventures, technologies, programs, research and ideas. But we too rarely hear from those that try them, buy them, and have to make them work in practice and in the field. We've been doing this a little bit through the spotlight segments that have aired at the end of about one episode every month. Those are sort of customer testimonials from our quarterly presenting sponsors. I've really enjoyed these stories and the tried and true perspectives that come from them. So I'm going to make these short standalone episodes and a regular thing: sometimes with users of the technology from the sponsor, and sometimes not - just profiles of farmers and another users of agricultural innovations. In today's case, Tyler Kessler owns an independent agronomy consulting business in Southern Saskatchewan alongside his wife, Brooke Dorgan. The company provides a range of agronomic and precision agriculture services for farmers who want to optimize yield, improve soil health, and reduce your environmental impacts. They are also a service provider of SWAT MAPS, our presenting sponsor this quarter. Before incorporating the business in 2015, Tyler worked in ag retail for eight years and spent a couple of years with an ag chemical manufacturer. He says in those days he wasn't seeing a lot in precision ag that convinced him it was really adding a lot of value to farmers. But then he discovered SWAT MAPS.

Michael is also the Founding CEO and Board Member at Rantizo, the nation's largest drone-spraying company. Before Rantizo, Michael worked in corporate venture capital backed by Monsanto, Novozymes and Bunge, where he invented a patented technology that delivers a tiny amount of nitrogen to a rice seed as it grows. Michael has a Master's degree in Chemistry from the University of Iowa and two decades worth of experience in finance and agriculture. He is an author on five patent applications and has raised over $180 million in investments over the course of his career. Michael was named PrecisionAg 2021 Entrepreneur of the Year.Michael and I talk about Cquesta and what makes this technology unique, what's not working in the current soil carbon market paradigm, how they plan to bring together seed companies, farmers, carbon credit buyers and others to make this model work, why he jumped right back into another agtech startup right after Rantizo, and more.

He also sits as president, co-founder, and lead coach at Farmer Coach, an education and coaching program for primary producers in both Canada and the US. These organizations fall under the Hebert Group of Companies, which also includes Hebert Grain Ventures, a 30,000-acre grain and oilseed operation in southeast Saskatchewan, where Evan sits as Chief Financial Officer.I had the privilege of hosting Evan's business partner, Kristjan Hebert on the show last year back in episodes 302 & 303. Those were very popular episodes about farm strategy and farm operating systems. We follow that up with today's episode with Evan Shout about the entrepreneurial mindset and how apply that mindset to running a modern farm business. Spotlight Segment: Mac Marshall is the vice president of market intelligence for the United Soybean Board, where his job as part of the strategy team is to best position farmer leaders and directors to have the best information for making strategic decisions that are going to determine the fate of the soybean industry for years to come. He studied economics as an undergrad, and started his career with the US Bureau of Labor Statistics where he covered livestock, meat, cotton and consumer packaged goods. This background in economics and commodities analysis led to a job with Monsanto in corporate strategy then government relations before he joined the soybean board in 2020. He says strategic decisions from the farmer-led board have had major impacts on soybean farmers for decades, and shares some of the actions they are taking today to make sure the commodity continues to enjoy its demand and distribution for years to come. One example, he says, is the use of soy in renewable diesel.

Soy Checkoff: https://www.unitedsoybean.org/Dr. Paige Stanley's website: https://paige-stanley.com/FoA 222: Digging Deeper Into Regenerative Agriculture with Paige Stanley: https://future-of-agriculture.captivate.fm/episode/foa-222-digging-deeper-into-regenerative-agriculture-with-paige-stanleyMetrics, Management, and Monitoring (3M) Project: https://www.noble.org/3m/Dr. Paige Stanely is an interdisciplinary scientist working to understand how grazing management can sequester carbon in soils to help mitigate climate change and build more resilient rangeland ecosystems. She draws on a wide range of disciplines including soil biogeochemistry, grazing and rangeland ecology, agroecology, rancher sociology, and political ecology to approach research questions holistically. Paige is particularly interested in the use of “regenerative grazing” (or adaptive multi-paddock grazing) by ranchers on rangelands -- a form of high-intensity, short duration grazing with potential for increasing soil C sequestration.We really have a great and wide ranging conversation here about regenerative agriculture, from the challenges of carbon measurement to grazing management to carbon nitrogen ratio dynamics to producer economics to rancher sociology and beyond. Really a lot of fun to talk to Paige again. Speaking of which I should mention that this is her second appearance on the show. Her first episode, which also happens to rank up there as one of my favorite episodes, was number 222, back almost three years ago in September of 2020. In fact that's a great one to go back and listen to after you finish this one, it's titled “Digging Deeper into Regenerative Agriculture”. We'll kick off today's episode with Paige recapping what led her into the long process of understanding what it takes to properly sample, analyze, and measure soil carbon sequestration. I think this is really relevant to the current discussion which seems to take for granted, how difficult it is to get this right with a high level of accuracy.

Soy Checkoff: https://www.unitedsoybean.org/Perry Agricultural Laboratory: http://www.perryaglab.com/FoA 370: [History of Agriculture] William J Morse, the Father of the US Soybean IndustryJoining me today is the Chair of the United Soybean Board, Meagan Kaiser. Meagan has an impressive background growing up in agriculture and pursuing a degree in Soil Science from the University of Missouri. This set her up to join her family's soil laboratory business, Perry Agricultural Laboratory which has been around for forty years based in Northeast Missouri. She is now a soil scientist and the chief operating officer for that business, and at the same time she farms with her husband, Mark, on the other side of the state in northwest Missouri. We will certainly talk about soil and about farming in today's episode, but she's here in another capacity, as the chair of the United Soybean Board, where she leads a group of 77 farmers who share one goal: to increase return on investment for US soybean farmers. It was a treat to talk to Meagan about the role of the soy checkoff and some of their many approaches to creating value for farmers: from infrastructure to biofuels to health and nutrition to innovation and technology.

Soy Checkoff: https://www.unitedsoybean.org/Soy Info Center: https://www.soyinfocenter.com/Studying the past is one of the most important activities for not only gaining perspective on the current state of the industry, but also to zoom out and get a better vantage point on where things may go from here, and what factors may drive it in that direction. That's why, perhaps ironically, studying the history of agriculture is essential for a podcast that claims to be about the future of agriculture. Plus, I think most of you are just a little bit nerdy about agriculture like I am and enjoy knowing more about its history.One of the things that has held me back from ever trying one of these episodes is that I worried it could very easily become a boring lecture of random facts and names and dates that didn't really provide the real context I was hoping to provide. So I wondered, “what is the FoA approach to learning more about the history of agriculture?” And I came up with this: I'll focus on a specific person who I wish I could go back to that time and interview. Then hopefully that individual's story can provide insights and context into the time in a relatable way, and allow us to connect those experiences to our current situations. Keep in mind that this is an experiment, so if you like it or if you don't like it, I'd sure like to know either way. I think you know where to find me by now, but tim@aggrad.com is probably the easiest to remember. All right, let's get into it. Today's guest that I wish I could interview if he were still alive today is William J Morse, considered by many to be the father of the U.S. soybean industry. When William graduated from Cornell with a bachelor's of science in agriculture in 1907 he started his job two days later at the age of 24 with the US Department of Agriculture He was hired as an Agrostologist. That's a term I don't think is used too much any more, but agrostology is the study of grasses. Which is a little odd because he would end up studying soybeans, not a grass at all. Whether he knew it or not, but soybeans would be his focus for his entire 42 year career, all at USDA. What's incredible is during that time, the U.S. soybean industry would grow from an obscure forage crop sparsely grown in parts of the southeast to one of the top three most important cash crops in the country, grown on over 11M acres. Now today that number is over 80 million acres, but the meteoric rise of the soybean during William Morse's life was just incredible. I try to think of something like that happening today. Think about hemp that had all of that hype, and I think it's grow today on something like 7k acres in the US, I mean almost nothing. But in one man's career he saw the birth and growth of a major industry that is one of the most important crops in American agriculture today. How did this happen? What were the catalysts for this growth? What lessons can we pull from this for today's agriculture and the agriculture we want to see in the future?
