Noa Schecter came from what used to be a farming country: Israel. Now Israel has “changed their wardrobe,” becoming more entrepreneurial than agricultural, but she remembers field trips to the farm and helping farmers during harvest. Now she li
Every time we talk to a farmer, we ask, “What’s the number one challenge on your farming operation.” About 99% of them say grain marketing. Usually our next question is, “Are you working with a grain marketing advisor?” Basically, what are they
Commodity options are some of the most important tools in hedging, especially once you get to grain above and beyond your insurance guarantee. Most farmers understand what that means: you’re insured for a certain percentage of your crop that yo
Sometimes, you shouldn’t invest in your farm. A lot of times, when commodity prices and incomes are high in agriculture, the return on investment to put your money back into farmland and equipment just isn’t there. All those prices are exaggera
Exercises have different rhythms. Some you’re supposed to do every day, some weekly. There may even be long runs or tons of push-ups that you reserve for one day a month. Handling your finances has different rhythms to it as well. I’ve got seve
Last week, we talked about managing income. We’re revisiting that topic, but this time specifically around real estate. Today, we’ll be focusing on the tax advantages of real estate, which I learned from Paul Moore’s book The Perfect Investment
Income tax is a huge cost on any farming operation, because as farmers we can't depreciate land purchases. Since tax season is coming up, it’s time to talk about some of the best income tax management strategies for farmers. Here are three of t
Every truly successful person I've ever meet or read about has a hobby that provides him or her with escapism. The opportunity to escape somewhere at some time in our daily lives to free our mind and improve personal happiness is so important t
It’s always a challenge to value real estate, especially when it comes to farmland. After reading Paul Moore's book The Perfect Investment, my perspective on valuing real estate at a professional and investment level was changed dramatically. S
Patrick Montgomery went from U.S. Special Forces Army Ranger to cattle rancher in the span of a few short months. His story is unlikely, but inspiring. I had the privilege of interviewing him and hearing his story in this episode.
Let’s set the stage: you’re a farmer with a can-do attitude, but unfortunately you’re on the brink of having to give up the farm. Your main operation just isn’t making what you need. But there’s a wonderful reality working in your favor: there
At least on paper (though that may not translate to cash), farmers are wealthy. Many are understandably concerned about passing those assets down and not having the next generation ruin the business. Some don’t even let their kids make business
One thing is clear in my conversations with farmers: the biggest challenge they face is making their debt payments. Part three of our series on the financial principles of ancient Babylon pulls from The Richest Man in Babylon. Today’s lesson is
One weekend, my son and I went to Minneapolis, and I had him listen to The Richest Man in Babylon. I wanted him to hear it, since it’s had such an impact on me. Then I found that the one listen wasn’t enough for me. I listened to it again the n
The Richest Man in Babylon is one of my favorite books of all time. It’s so good, I read it twice in one weekend. Babylon was one of the wealthiest cities of ancient times, because of the financial principles of its people. They recorded storie
The Mongol dynasty made Alexander the Great’s look pitiful. Genghis Khan reorganized the world: he connected China to the west and developed gunpowder. For around 100 years in the 12th and 13th centuries the Mongols dominated from Italy to Chin
John Templeton is one of the most famed investors of all time. This is a guy who in 1939 bought $100 worth of all stocks traded under $1, and by 1943 he had four times his money. He’s up there with the greats. His strategies, and the way he bui
On some commodities, we’ve hit some pretty interesting times. This is especially true with wheat. Sometimes we just have to be patient for something bad to happen to put prices up. In the meantime, I want to talk about two programs that are ess
We’re getting close to harvest time. By the time this goes live, we might even be in it. It’s important to think about where commodity prices are right now and what to do with grain that you haven’t sold. So I want to put together a few things
John DeLorean was a designer at GM who wanted to produce futuristic cars. He was convinced that the culture of order and structure at GM was holding back creative geniuses like himself. Since he was a very good salesman, he felt confident in hi
In my mind I have a job, separate from my farming operation. It goes something like this: learn as much as I can, try to relate it to farming, and write or share content that relates to farmers. That’s what I did with the most recent Tony Robbi
Is ag retail the enemy? The really depends on what you mean. I had the pleasure of recently interviewing Andy Wuebben, partner at Vertical Exchange, in this episode. Andy helped answer that all-important question.
Something like 90% of businesses fail within the first two years. The main reasons? Structure, strategy, and accountability. When you’ve got millions of shareholders you have to report to (like Apple, for example), Wall Street analysts break do
A few months ago Scott spent five days in Ukraine—a spur-of-the-moment trip. He visited a company called Agro-Soyuz in eastern Ukraine, not too far off from where the war’s going on with Russia. He learned a lot about their company. But he also
It's tough to find good help, isn’t it? Scott’s made a lot of mistakes hiring farm workers, from hiring really close friends to not properly interviewing people, to not setting expectations. But successful hiring is extremely important, especia
