Podcasts about sustainable farming

Over the last few decades automation has completely changed the way eggs are processed. And with robots now assuming many of the jobs handled previously by humans, producers can now process eggs faster, and with a higher degree of accuracy than ever before. Bill Bretschneider is a product manager for MOBA, a company based in Barneveld in the Netherlands, and one of the world's biggest suppliers of egg grading, breaking, and sorting equipment. Today, Bill walks us through the innovation milestones of the past few decades, including the rollout of AI crack detection, and explains what more needs to happen before we see truly autonomous facilities. 

He breaks down essential supplements, cautions about coffee and raw mushrooms, and shows why organic, home-grown food is key to avoiding toxins. #SupplementWisely #OrganicLiving #NutritionScience #FoodSafety

This week we are flashing back to a previous conversation from earlier this year. It's a powerful conversation and I would like to bring it back into the spotlight this week for those who may have missed the original airing. Enjoy... Taking over the family farm is about far more than land, equipment, and financial statements — it's about legacy, identity, pressure, and responsibility. In this episode of The Impact Farming Show, Tracy sits down with Trevor MacLean from MNP to explore the emotional and business realities of transitioning a farm from one generation to the next. Together, they unpack what it really means to be "walking in the shadows" of previous generations while trying to build a future of your own. Trevor shares insights from working with farm families across Canada, discussing the emotional weight many successors carry, common transition mistakes, communication challenges, leadership shifts, and how families can create healthier and more successful succession plans. Whether you're the next generation stepping into leadership or the senior generation preparing for transition, this conversation offers practical wisdom and honest perspective on one of the most important journeys in agriculture. Episode Highlights • What "walking in the shadows" really looks like on family farms • The emotional and financial pressure facing the next generation • Balancing respect for tradition while building your own vision • Common mistakes during leadership transition • Key conversations farm families need to have early • What a healthy farm transition timeline can look like • How senior generations can better support successors • Encouragement for those carrying the weight of the family legacy Timestamps 01:47 – Introduction to the episode and guest Trevor MacLean 03:48 – What "walking in the shadows" means for the next generation 09:59 – Emotional and financial pressures of taking over the family farm 20:18 – Respecting legacy while creating your own vision 28:28 – Common transition and leadership mistakes 38:48 – Important conversations families need to have early 49:08 – What healthy succession timelines look like 55:48 – How senior generations can support successors 1:01:48 – Trevor's advice for the next generation of farm leaders 1:05:43 – Encouragement for those carrying the weight of the family farm legacy 1:07:48 – Closing thoughts and final takeaways These conversations matter and the more openly we talk about the emotional and business realities of transition, the stronger the future of agriculture becomes. Leave a review, share the episode on social media, and help us continue bringing impactful agriculture conversations to the industry.

Fluent Fiction - Hebrew: Innovating Tradition: A Kibbutz's Summer of Agricultural Change Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/he/episode/2026-08-09-22-34-02-he Story Transcript:He: בקיבוץ השקט והפורה צפון הנגב, היה קיץ מלא שמש וחום.En: In the quiet and fertile kibbutz in the northern Negev, the summer was filled with sun and heat.He: מסביב שדות ירוקים הנעים עם הרוח הקלה, וניחוחות העשב המיובש ממלאים את האוויר.En: Around, green fields swayed with the gentle breeze, and the scents of dried grass filled the air.He: בארוחת הצהריים המשותפת חברי הקיבוץ מדברים על היום שעבר עליהם.En: At the shared lunchtime, the kibbutz members talked about their day.He: אריאל, צעיר מלא מרץ ורעיונות, ישב בקצה השולחן.En: Ariel, a young man full of energy and ideas, sat at the end of the table.He: הוא הציע לנסות שיטות חקלאיות חדשות, שמפחיתות את הפגיעה בסביבה ומשפרות את היבול.En: He suggested trying new agricultural methods that reduce environmental impact and improve yield.He: אריאל ידע שהדרכים המסורתיות לא תמיד מספיקות, והוא היה נחוש להוכיח שזה אפשרי לשלב קיימות בחקלאות.En: Ariel knew that traditional ways weren't always sufficient, and he was determined to prove it was possible to combine sustainability with agriculture.He: לעומתו, דב ישב בידיים שלובות, הגבות שלו מקומטות בדאגה.En: In contrast, Dov sat with his arms folded, his brows furrowed with concern.He: הוא שתה מהכוס, שקול ורגוע, בעודו מקשיב לרעיונותיו של אריאל.En: He sipped from his glass, thoughtful and calm, while listening to Ariel's ideas.He: "השיטות החדשות שלך מסוכנות," אמר דב.En: "Your new methods are dangerous," said Dov.He: "מה אם הניסיון ייכשל והיבולים ירדו?En: "What if the experiment fails and the yields decrease?"He: "אבל אריאל לא ויתר.En: But Ariel did not give up.He: הוא הציע לנסות את השיטות החדשות בחלקה קטנה בלבד.En: He suggested trying the new methods on a small plot only.He: "אם זה לא יעבוד, תמיד נוכל לחזור לשיטות הישנות," אמר בבטחון.En: "If it doesn't work, we can always return to the old methods," he said confidently.He: דב לקח נשימה עמוקה והסכים, אך התנה שהוא יהיה שם כדי לפקח על הניסיון.En: Dov took a deep breath and agreed, but conditioned his agreement on being there to oversee the experiment.He: כך התחיל הקיץ המרתק בקיבוץ, שבו יצא אריאל להוכיח את צדקתו, ואילו דב השגיח מכל פינה.En: And so began the exciting summer at the kibbutz, where Ariel set out to prove his point, while Dov watched from every corner.He: החלקה הקטנה, מוכנה לניסוי, התמלאה בפעילות.En: The small plot, ready for experimentation, was filled with activity.He: אריאל טיפל בה באהבה וביסודיות.En: Ariel tended to it with love and thoroughness.He: האדמה הושקתה בחסכון, והוא השתמש בשיטות ידידותיות לסביבה.En: The land was watered sparingly, and he used environmentally friendly methods.He: כשהגיע סוף הקיץ, היבול היה מפתיע בהצלחתו.En: When the end of summer came, the yield was surprisingly successful.He: הבנק הלאומי תשומת הלב החלה לפנות לעבר ההצלחות של אריאל.En: The national bank's attention began to turn toward Ariel's successes.He: דב, שבחן מקרוב כל צעד, נאלץ להודות שהתוצאות מעבר לכל ציפייה.En: Dov, who had closely monitored every step, had to admit that the results were beyond all expectations.He: השיחה בין אריאל לדב הייתה מלאה בניצוצות של ויכוח, אך גם בהבנה.En: The conversation between Ariel and Dov was filled with sparks of debate but also with understanding.He: "אנחנו יכולים לשלב את שתי הדרכים," הציע אריאל.En: "We can combine both ways," suggested Ariel.He: "נהיה חדשניים, אבל נשאר נאמנים למסורת.En: "We'll be innovative, but remain faithful to tradition."He: "כך הוחלט על שילוב הדרכים – שיטות חדשות בחלק מהשדות, ושימור של מסורות בשאר.En: Thus, it was decided to integrate the methods—new methods in some fields, while preserving traditions in others.He: הקיבוץ נשאר מעורב ותומך, וכולם הבינו שדרוש שוויון בין חידוש לבין הקיים.En: The kibbutz remained involved and supportive, and everyone realized that a balance between innovation and the existing was needed.He: אריאל למד שאפשר לשלב חדשנות עם כבוד לעבר, ודב הבין שאם השינוי נעשה בתבונה, הוא יכול להביא יתרון לכל חברי הקיבוץ.En: Ariel learned that it is possible to blend innovation with respect for the past, and Dov understood that if change is made wisely, it can benefit all members of the kibbutz.He: הקיץ הזה הותיר חותם בלב כולם, והראה איך אפשר להתקדם יחד, יד ביד עם הטבע.En: That summer left a mark on everyone's hearts and showed how progress can be made together, hand in hand with nature.

When Raechel Van Buskirk served up some creatively-flavored deviled eggs at her dive bar in Omaha, Nebraska, she had no idea that it would change her life. And what started as a way to drum up some business on Sunday mornings, would eventually lead to a chain of restaurants, national distribution and even an appearance on Shark Tank. Today, Raechel walks us through the whirlwind rise of her company, Deviled Egg Co., including the struggle of keeping a business going through Covid, the nerve-wracking preparation for her Shark Tank appearance, and how she's navigated the volatility in egg prices. 

Farm succession isn't just about transferring land, equipment, or ownership—it's about preserving relationships while building a future that works for everyone involved. In this episode of The Impact Farming Show, we're joined by Derryn Shrosbree and Sarah Stamp to explore one of the most overlooked aspects of farm transition: the people. From communication breakdowns and family dynamics to preparing senior generations for the next chapter, this conversation dives into why successful succession planning is just as much about emotional intelligence as it is about legal documents and financial plans. Whether your family has already started succession conversations or continues to avoid them, this episode offers practical insights to help families move forward together. Episode Overview In this episode, you'll learn: • Why keeping families "at the table" is the foundation of successful farm transitions. • Lessons Sarah learned through her own family's succession journey. • Why people—not finances or legal structures—are often the biggest challenge in succession planning. • The importance of including non-farming family members in transition conversations. • Why families often communicate more poorly with one another than they do with business partners. • The unique emotional challenges senior generations face when stepping back from the farm. • How the DISC personality framework can improve communication and reduce conflict. • What healthy farm family cultures have in common. • Why pretending everything is "fine" can delay meaningful progress. • Practical first steps for families who have been avoiding difficult succession conversations. • The critical difference between transferring farm assets and successfully transitioning a family. If this conversation resonated with you, now is the time to begin the discussions that matter most. Farm transition doesn't happen overnight, and the strongest succession plans are built through open communication, mutual understanding, and a shared vision for the future. If you found value in today's episode, please subscribe to The Impact Farming Show, leave us a review, and share this episode with a family member, business partner, or fellow farmer who could benefit from these insights.  Together, we can help build stronger farms, stronger businesses, and stronger farm families.

Send us Fan MailWe put Maker's Mark Star Hill Farm American Wheat Whiskey 2025 and 2026 in the ring and score them side by side to see what changed and which one drinks better. Along the way, we get into why wheat needs oxygen, why Maker's Mark is treating this as a vintage-style annual release, and how regenerative agriculture connects to flavor. • why Star Hill Farm exists and why it is not bourbon • Maker's Mark shift from one mash bill to experimentation • regenerative agriculture and why “grain matters” • why wheat whiskey can improve after opening • 2025 release proof age mash bill and tasting notes • our barrel bottle breakdown scoring system • 2026 release mash bill changes and what they do to flavor • head-to-head verdict plus a simple blend idea if you own both www.scotchyburbonboys.com for all things Scotchy Bourbon Boys. Make sure you leave good feedback that that's fantastic on, especially on Apple, please. And then also become members. You can become a member on Facebook, you can become a member on YouTube. And super chats are always greatly appreciated. Maker's Mark spent nearly 70 years defending one core mash bill, so when Star Hill Farm American Wheat Whiskey shows up as a yearly, changing release, we have to treat it like a real moment in modern American whiskey. We line up the first two annual releases, 2025 vs 2026, taste them with our barrel breakdown scoring, and answer the question every curious whiskey fan is asking: which one actually drinks better right now, and why?  We also dig into what makes this project different from a typical “new expression.” Star Hill Farm is built around wheat as the star, not corn as the safety net, and it's tied directly to Maker's Mark's push for regenerative agriculture and a grain-forward philosophy. We talk about why soil health and farming practices matter for long-term whiskey quality, and why this release is designed to evolve like a vintage rather than taste identical every year.  Then we get practical. Wheat can change dramatically after you open a bottle, and we share the cap-off, let-it-breathe approach that transformed the 2026 pour from too oaky into a dessert bomb. Expect tasting notes like cherry cola and toasted oak on the 2025, then caramel, vanilla, and an unmistakable “Milk Duds” finish on the 2026, plus the mash bill changes that help explain the swing. If you've got both bottles, we even float a simple blending idea to see what happens in your own glass.  If you enjoy cast strength whiskey reviews, Maker's Mark tasting notes, and smart whiskey talk that stays grounded in what you can taste, hit subscribe, share this with a bourbon friend, and leave us a review so more people can find the show.

Could the rise of GLP1s such as Ozempic be a catalyst for more sustainable farming? Sounds ridiculous right? But for anyone eating less, the calories you do consume need to really count. As more and more people use anti-obesity medications (the UK is already Europe's largest market for GLP1s and uptake is projected to increase dramatically), the focus on nutrient density is only going one way. The public is waking up to what nutrient density actually means, and crucially, what it means for their health. If nutrient dense food depends upon nutrient dense soil – and the route to nutrient dense soil is agroecological farming – will this create greater demand for sustainable farming practices? Join Stuart Oates and expert panellists Dan Kittredge (founder of the Bionutrient Food Association), Dr Lucy Williamson (author of Soil to Gut and award-winning registered nutritionist), and Tom Pearson (Nuffield farming scholar and medical doctor) to find out what might happen next.    Find more SFT podcasts, featuring some of the biggest names in food and farming, at our main podcast page.

What if the biggest obstacle to successful farm succession isn't taxes, legal documents, or ownership structures—but leadership? In this episode of The Impact Farming Show, Tracy sits down with Joe Bitz, Farm Business Advisor with MNP, to explore a fresh perspective on succession planning that every farm family needs to hear. Drawing from eight years of leadership experience in the Canadian Forces and his work helping farm families navigate transition, Joe shares how military planning principles can transform the way families approach succession. Episode Highlights • Joe's journey from the Canadian Forces to helping farm families with succession planning • Why succession planning is fundamentally a leadership challenge—not just a legal or financial one • The military leadership lessons that apply directly to family farms • Understanding the "Conditions Check" and how it helps families prepare for success • Joe's Inverted Triangle Model: Why planning comes before execution • Why people—not assets—should be the starting point for every succession plan • The importance of understanding personalities, motivations, and communication styles • The Observation → Deduction → Action framework for turning conversations into progress • Why first-generation farms operate like tennis while multi-generational farms become basketball • Common planning mistakes farm families make—and how to avoid them • The first three conversations every farm family should have to begin succession planning Succession planning isn't simply about transferring land, equipment, or ownership—it's about preparing people to lead together. As Joe reminds us throughout this conversation, the strongest succession plans are built on trust, communication, shared understanding, and intentional leadership long before legal documents are signed.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Harvesting Connections: City Life Meets Rural Rhythms Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2026-07-18-22-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A nap sárgás fényáradatban sütötte a vidéki epermezőt.En: The sun shone down on the country strawberry field in a yellowish flood of light.Hu: Egy kis dombon állt a tanya, amely odalent tekintett a hatalmas epersorokra.En: On a small hill stood the farmhouse, gazing down at the vast rows of strawberries.Hu: Az idilli tájat végtelen zöld dombok fogták közre, meleg és nyugodt volt mindenütt.En: The idyllic landscape was enclosed by endless green hills, warm and calm all around.Hu: Zoltán, a városi író, inspirációt keresett.En: Zoltán, the city writer, was searching for inspiration.Hu: Azt remélte, hogy a természet egyszerűsége segít majd alkotói válságán.En: He hoped that the simplicity of nature might help with his creative block.Hu: Eszter, aki mindig is szeretett volna többet megtudni a fenntartható gazdálkodásról, szintén ott töltötte a nyarat.En: Eszter, who had always wanted to learn more about sustainable farming, was also spending the summer there.Hu: Nem ismerték egymást korábban, de a farm munkával és lehetőségekkel teli volt, és lassan összehozta őket.En: They hadn't known each other before, but the farm was full of work and opportunities, slowly bringing them together.Hu: Reggelente együtt szedték az epret, izzadva a nyári melegben.En: In the mornings, they picked strawberries together, sweating in the summer heat.Hu: Zoltán eleinte küszködött.En: Zoltán struggled at first.Hu: A kényelmes városi életet megszokva, a föld művelése különösen nehéz volt számára.En: Used to the comfortable city life, working the land was particularly difficult for him.Hu: Az ásó és a kapálás monoton ritmusa azonban lassan megnyugtatóvá vált, mintha a természet ritmusa csendesen beszélgetett volna vele.En: However, the monotonous rhythm of digging and hoeing slowly became soothing, as if the rhythm of nature was quietly conversing with him.Hu: Eszter számára a falusi élet elsőre ijesztőnek tűnt.En: For Eszter, rural life initially seemed daunting.Hu: A természet szépsége lenyűgözte, de a munka intenzitása új kihívások elé állította.En: She was captivated by the beauty of nature, but the intensity of the work presented new challenges.Hu: Ám ahogy telt az idő, megértette, hogy a föld közelsége és az epermező csendje újfajta tiszteletet és erőt adhat számára.En: Yet as time passed, she realized that the closeness to the land and the silence of the strawberry field could offer her a new kind of respect and strength.Hu: Ahogy a napok múltak, Zoltán elhatározta, hogy rendszeres szüneteket tart a munkában.En: As the days went by, Zoltán decided to take regular breaks from work.Hu: Kicsit sétálva merült el a természetben, eközben pedig jegyzetfüzetébe írta le benyomásait.En: He would take short walks, immersing himself in nature, and jotting down his impressions in a notebook.Hu: Eszter, látva kitartását és érdeklődését, úgy döntött, hogy meghosszabbítja önkéntességét a tanyán, hogy jobban megértse a vidéki élet árnyalatait.En: Seeing his perseverance and curiosity, Eszter decided to extend her volunteering at the farm to better understand the nuances of rural life.Hu: Egy péntek délutáni vihar nyomán az ég hirtelen elsötétült, és a szél vadul söpört végig a mezőn.En: Following a Friday afternoon storm, the sky suddenly darkened, and the wind swept wildly across the field.Hu: Zoltán és Eszter együtt futottak ki, hogy megvédjék a termést az esőtől.En: Zoltán and Eszter ran out together to protect the crops from the rain.Hu: Miközben védelmet kerestek a növényeknek, felfedezték, mennyire különböző erősségeik mennyire kiegészítik egymást.En: While seeking refuge for the plants, they discovered how their different strengths complemented each other.Hu: Együtt hatékonyan dolgoztak, megőrizve a farm termését.En: Together, they worked effectively, preserving the farm's harvest.Hu: A vihar után tiszta lett az ég.En: After the storm, the sky cleared.Hu: Zoltán úgy érezte, hogy a mezőn átélt kaland és Eszter megingathatatlan elkötelezettsége új erőt adott neki.En: Zoltán felt that the adventure experienced in the field and Eszter's unwavering dedication had given him new energy.Hu: Elkezdett írni, most már inspiráltan és céltudatosan.En: He began to write, now inspired and purposeful.Hu: Eszter pedig eldöntötte, hogy az agrár-fenntarthatósággal szeretne foglalkozni a jövőben.En: Eszter decided she wanted to pursue agricultural sustainability in the future.Hu: Ahogy a nyár végéhez közeledett, mindketten úgy érezték, hogy valami új és értékes dolgot találtak egymásban és önmagukban.En: As summer drew to a close, they both felt they had found something new and valuable in each other and within themselves.Hu: Megállapodtak abban, hogy továbbra is találkozni fognak, hiszen a mezőn szerzett emlékek és közös tapasztalataik összekötötték őket.En: They agreed to keep meeting because the memories and shared experiences from the field had bonded them.Hu: És így Zoltán és Eszter útjaik különösen indultak el egy új, közös úton, az epermező közepén, ahol az inspiráció, a kihívás és a szeretet találkoztak.En: And so, Zoltán and Eszter embarked on a new joint journey, where inspiration, challenge, and love converged in the middle of the strawberry field.

In early 2025 HPAI outbreaks had egg prices sitting at record highs; just one year later they're hitting inflation-adjusted historic lows. And while that may be great for consumers looking for a cheap source of protein, it has a lot of US producers feeling the squeeze. Joining us to discuss the issue is Brian Moscogiuri. Formerly of Urner Barry, and Eggs Unlimited, Brian recently launched a new venture called KHM Trading, a commercial wholesale broker of shell eggs and egg products. Brian understands the dynamics of the US egg market better than anyone, and today he discusses the factors contributing to the dip in prices, what the industry's doing to try and drum up new demand, and when producers might start to see some relief.

In 1985, Bernd Meerpohl watched his father take a risk in purchasing a struggling farm equipment company. That company was called Big Dutchman, and today it operates in 174 countries and generates around €1.5 billion in annual sales. Bernd took over as CEO in 1992, and maintained the unwavering commitment to salesmanship, innovation, and emerging markets that's made Big Dutchman into the global behemoth they are today. Today, Bernd walks us through the pivotal moments that shaped the company's growth, from the fall of the Berlin Wall to the rise of alternative laying systems in the US, and shares his candid views on the role that data collection and AI systems will play in the future of animal agriculture.

From the time you start to suspect you might have an HPAI outbreak on your farm, to getting lab confirmation, can take between 1 and 5 days. And while producers wait for those results to come back, they're forced to make extremely tough decisions — cancelling deliveries, isolating employees, culling entire flocks — based on incomplete information. Erik Tyrrell-Knott is the President and Chief Business Officer of Alveo, a company that's built a handheld HPAI testing device that delivers a trustworthy result in 45 minutes. And while their tests won't replace the current lab testing we use today, their aim is to give veterinarians and producers the data they need to act with speed and confidence. Today, Erik walks us through how the test works, why it represents such an important leap forward in the fight against HPAI, and how it could one day make "partial depopulation" possible.

In this episode of Impact Farming, Tracy sits down with agricultural economist and strategist Michelle Klieger to unpack a question many producers are quietly asking: Can U.S. soybeans still compete in the global market? As farmers head into another planting season facing tight margins, uncertain demand, and rising costs, the global soybean market continues to shift. From China's buying decisions to the growing influence of Brazil, the competitive landscape is changing rapidly. Michelle shares insights from her recent article on the "Brazil Factor" and explores what's really driving global soybean competitiveness—and what it means for producers in North America. Episode Highlights • Why global demand—especially from China—remains a key driver for soybean markets • How geopolitics and trade negotiations are affecting farm families and rural economies • The rise of Brazil as a global agricultural powerhouse • The role of land costs, seed pricing, and regulation in shaping global competitiveness • How Brazil's ability to expand farmland and double crop gives it an edge • Why U.S. farmers may need a different strategy to stay competitive • Key signals producers should watch as global soybean markets evolve Global agriculture is evolving quickly, and the soybean market is a powerful example of how economics, geopolitics, and innovation intersect. As Brazil continues to expand production and global trade dynamics shift, producers in North America face new challenges—but also opportunities. Understanding the forces shaping global markets can help farmers make informed decisions and remain competitive in a rapidly changing agricultural landscape.

“…what you need to know is this. And that is the difference between a conventional farmer and a sustainable farmer is that a conventional farmer grows plants and a sustainable farmer grows soil; and very simple in it's difference, and yet incredibly profound in how it takes you down two different paths, because, what are you doing if you're growing plants?”In this episode of Personalization Outbreak, Glenn Llopis sits down with Dr. Britt Yamamoto, author of The Soil of Leadership, to explore a powerful idea: great leadership is like sustainable farming. It is not about chasing quick wins, it is about cultivating the conditions for long-term growth.They unpack the difference between “growing plants” and “growing soil,” why trust cannot be forced, how burnout is a systems issue, and what leaders can do to rebuild healthier cultures through reflection, self-awareness, and sustainable leadership practices.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Video Content:   0:00 - Intro   03:44 - Leadership Starts with Soil, Not Strategy   16:09 - Reclaiming the Right Soil   20:17 - Why Most Workplaces Are Broken at the Root   27:23 - Leadership 3.0: The Shift Leaders Must Make Now   30:16 – The Soil of Leadership: Cultivating the Conditions for Transformation   33:13 - The Personalization of Leadership   38:44 - We Can't Practice What We Can't Imagine   41:22 – The Hyakusho Way: Japanese Wisdom for a Flourishing Life   43:26 - Rebuilding Trust Starts Within   45:36 - Shifting from Paradigm to Purpose   50:31 - Community First, Corporate Second   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Farm succession planning is one of the most important – and often most delayed – conversations on family farms. While Canadian agriculture is built on family ownership, the majority of farms still do not have a clear succession plan in place. In this episode of The Impact Farming Show, Tracy sits down with Derryn Shrosbree to talk about why succession planning so often stalls and what farm families can do to move forward with confidence. After years of helping farmers navigate complex succession planning through 33seven, Derryn saw firsthand how overwhelming and fragmented the process can become. That experience led him to launch Farmstrong, a new approach designed to simplify the process and bring all the moving pieces together in one integrated solution. If succession planning has been sitting on your farm's "someday" list, this conversation will help you understand why the process feels so complicated—and how it can become much more manageable. Conversation Highlights • Why farm succession planning is one of the biggest challenges facing Canadian agriculture • The surprising reason many farmers delay or avoid succession conversations • How dealing with multiple advisors can complicate the process for farm families • Lessons Derryn has learned after years of helping farms navigate generational transitions • The inspiration behind launching Farmstrong Financial and the Farmstrong Workshop • How an integrated approach can simplify succession planning • Why protecting family farms is critical to the future of Canadian agriculture • Practical first steps farmers can take to begin their succession journey Episode Timestamps 0:21 - Introduction to the episode and guest 0:46 - Meet Derryn Shrosbree and his work helping farm families 1:27 - Why Derryn became passionate about farm succession planning 5:10 - Key lessons learned from working with farm families over the years 8:03 - Family office concept when it comes to succession planning 9:10 - The overwhelm factor and complexity of traditional succession planning 9:46 - The challenge of working with multiple advisors 10:06 - How a family office gets it done with ease and "one throat to choke" accountability 12:21 - Tracy's apology of family office as sports team coach or orchestra conductor 13:38 - The inspiration behind launching Farmstrong Financial 16:21 - Making it easy, clear, accountable and reducing the billable hours for farmers 18:46 - Are you farming for your legacy or for your government? 20:21 - How Farmstrong simplifies the succession planning process 28:21 - What this approach could mean for the future of Canadian farm families 36:01 - First steps farmers can take to begin the succession conversation Farm succession planning is about more than transferring land and assets—it's about protecting family legacies and ensuring the future of Canadian agriculture.

There are so many different types of egg-farmers: traditional caged operations, cage-free, free-range organic...the list goes on. But one organization strives to represent all of their interests, and advocate on their behalf at the highest levels of government. Chad Gregory is the President and CEO of the United Egg Producers (UEP), an organization that represents over 90% of US egg farmers. The UEP provides a forum where producers big and small can debate important topics, and shape the policies that ultimately impact how they do business. Chad came on the show just a few days after the State of the Union address, and for the second year running, President Trump referenced the egg industry directly. Today, we get into what the President said, the UEP's ongoing efforts to get an HPAI vaccine approved, and how they've responded to ongoing pressure from animal rights groups.
