The draw to farming is usually not having business meetings. You never hear someone say they love farming because they are sitting in a meeting room talking about business. They will probably say they’d rather be doing something…with animals, crops, machinery, you name it…anything but meetings. But how do we know if we are doing the right things with animals, crops, machinery if we don’t have a plan? Taking time to plan with trusted advisors whether you’re farming on your own or with farming partners is a key to success. However, building that meeting habit takes time and some effort.
