Garrett Toay of Ag Trader Talk chats us through what we might be seeing in the markets in the upcoming weeks and how producer might be able to manage some of that risk.
Today we speak again to Dr. Val Farmer. We initially hear from Val about his trip to Israel. First we speak about his visits to many of the sacred sites of world religions. We then speak briefly about the farming practices that Val observed during his visit. We then transition to talking about the current agriculture industry and the stresses farmers and ranchers face. We discuss personal and business management techniques that can help insulate us a bit against these stresses. Val has a vast archive of his writings available on-line focusing on mental health, relationships, and rural living at valFamer.com. If you want to learn more about Val and view his material, please be sure to check him out on-line.

Dave Pratt, President Emeritus of Ranch Management Consultants, joined me to talk about the lengths to which people will go to avoid paying taxes. We talk about strategies for using that same capital to turn a bigger profit and what is the definition of a truly healthy business. I also had a unique opportunity to capture Dave's thoughts on lessons he has learned in two plus decades of leading RMC, the parent company of the Ranching for Profit school.
