# 161 - How Grower Groups Are Making an Impact with Pippa Jones from Macintyre Ag Alliance

Profitable Farmer

Play Episode Listen Later Feb 28, 2025 43:07


Running a farm comes with its fair share of challenges, and it's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day. But some of the biggest opportunities for growth come from stepping outside our own operations, connecting with others, and learning from those facing similar challenges. Stronger businesses, smarter decisions, and a more resilient industry all start with farmers coming together and sharing knowledge.    This episode is all about the power of grower groups - why they matter, the impact they have, and why getting involved can be a game-changer for your farm and business.    I'm joined by Pippa Jones, who, alongside her husband, runs a mixed farm near Goondiwindi, QLD. Beyond the farm, Pippa has played a key role in the Macintyre Ag Alliance, helping to drive innovation and support for local farmers. She also works as an extension officer with NSW Local Land Services and represents the Northern NSW Drought and Innovation Hub. On top of that, she's a 2024 Nuffield Scholar, exploring how carbon farming can be both a profitable opportunity for farmers and better supported on a global scale.    Together, in this episode, we explore:  The critical role of grower groups like Macintyre Ag Alliance and the impact they're having in southern Queensland and northern NSW.  Why getting involved in these networks goes far beyond just improving technical farming skills.  How simplifying your farm business model can give you the time and space to pursue off-farm interests, leadership roles, and industry impact.  Why we should all back ourselves as leaders, even if we don't see ourselves that way just yet.    At Farm Owners Academy, we're proud to be partnering with Macintyre Ag Alliance and other grower groups across Australia to help farmers connect, learn, and thrive.    If you haven't yet, I encourage you to seek out your local grower groups and engage with your regional drought and innovation hubs-they offer invaluable resources and networks that can help you navigate challenges and future-proof your farm business.    You can access more information about the items discussed in the episode below:    Macintyre Ag Alliance – click here https://www.macintyreagalliance.com/   Drought and Innovation Hubs – click here https://www.agriculture.gov.au/agriculture-land/farm-food-drought/drought/future-drought-fund/research-adoption-program/adoption-innovation-hubs   Nuffield Scholarships – click here https://www.nuffield.com.au/     Pippa, thank you for your time, your insights, and your leadership. I hope you all enjoy this conversation as much as I did.    Keep winning.    Jeremy Hutchings & the Farm Owners Academy Team

What does it take to build a business that not only succeeds but creates real impact? In this episode of The Juggle is Real, Andryanna sits down with Amalia Martino, founder and president of The Vida Agency in Seattle, to explore how her lived experiences shaped her path as a leader, entrepreneur, and advocate for social equity. Growing up biracial and in poverty, Amalia's first exposure to affluence came through education. She saw firsthand how access to resources and networks shapes opportunities. But rather than simply navigating these systems, she learned how to build them herself—creating a business that reflects her values of equity, representation, and justice. In this powerful conversation, Amalia shares: Growing up between two worlds—what poverty and privilege taught her about power and opportunity; The founding of The Vida Agency and how it challenges traditional marketing models; The meaning behind The Whole Damn Pie—and why women deserve more than just a slice; What parenting as a single mom has taught her about identity, resilience, and raising the next generation of changemakers; Amalia's story is one of reinvention, courage, and unwavering commitment to impact.

Today, we're joined by Starla Hendricks, Vice President of Intermediary Sales at KEEP by Stone Castle. With over 30 years in financial services, Starla works closely with RIAs and wealth managers to help them navigate the cash and deposit landscape, providing solutions like KEEP—a high-yield, FDIC-insured cash account that offers protection and a better rate than typical savings accounts at local banks. We're excited to dive into how KEEP can provide clients with a secure, higher-yield alternative to traditional banking. • KEEP by Stone Castle offers a unique advantage by providing up to $100 million in FDIC insurance on a single account, compared to the typical $250,000 limit at a local bank. Unlike local banks, where individuals with larger sums must spread their funds across multiple institutions to maintain FDIC coverage, KEEP allows clients to consolidate their funds into one account with full protection, all under a single tax ID. • It's crucial for individuals to fully understand the limits of FDIC insurance. If you have more than $250,000 in a single bank account, any amount over that is not protected if the bank fails. Many people don't realize that, for example, if they inherit money or have accumulated significant savings, they could be leaving a large portion of it uninsured. With over $7 trillion currently sitting above the FDIC limit, much of it earning zero interest, it's essential to stay informed and ensure your funds are properly protected and earning a competitive return. • KEEP not only offers higher returns but also makes a positive impact by investing in community banks and credit unions, particularly those serving underserved populations. Through the Keep Impact initiative, funds are directed to minority depository institutions and community development financial institutions, helping to fund housing, minority-owned businesses, and other vital community projects. It's important to note, this is an option and there are other products to consider. As a fiduciary advisor, it is our responsibility to consider all options available and determine what products are a good fit based on the individual needs and goals of every client.

The charitable giving landscape in 2024 is a tricky one. Because the truth is, Americans have become less generous in the last few years. Vox has gone so far as to say we're in the middle of a “generosity crisis,” and fewer than half of us now give to charity on an annual basis. So, how can we make sure our favorite nonprofits continue to thrive? And how can we know what type of donations and philanthropic efforts will have the most impact? Nancy Brown, CEO of the American Heart Association shares her top tips for smart charitable giving in 2024. CHAPTERS: 00:00 Charitable Giving Landscape in 2024 04:30 Women's Heart Health 16:30 The Power of Small Donations and Volunteering 31:00 Mailbag Question 1: I have multiple HSAs, should I consolidate them now?  35:00 Mailbag Question 2: I have a variable annuity, how do I evaluate if it's the best place to keep my money?  TAKEAWAYS: Donor-advised funds (DAFs) are accounts that allow charitable contributions to grow tax-free, amplifying their impact over time. Automating your monthly giving offers nonprofits much-needed financial stability. Giving appreciated securities can save donors from paying capital gains tax while offering nonprofits the full value of the assets.  Learn more about our Finance Fixx program here.
