    105. From Row Crops to Forage Crops: A New Way to Think About Your Acres with Amos Troester

    Many producers think of cover crops as an added expense, but what if they could become a profitable enterprise? In part one of a two-part conversation, John Haskell sits down with Amos Troester to explore how integrating livestock with cover crops and annual forages can unlock new revenue streams while improving soil health and reducing input costs.

The conversation explores row crops to forage crops, the economics of grazing annuals, and why biomass production may be a more useful metric for evaluating land than bushels alone. Amos also explains how reducing fertilizer use, extending the grazing season, and viewing farmland through a livestock lens can create new opportunities for both crop and cattle producers.

    103. When Cattle Prices Are High, Stop Looking at Price and Start Looking at Relationships with Wally Olson

    Record cattle prices can create just as many challenges as opportunities. In this episode, John Haskell and Wally Olson discuss why producers should stop focusing on headline prices and start paying attention to the relationships within the market.

The conversation explores value of gain, market volatility, cow herd turnover, and the importance of making decisions based on current opportunities rather than past prices or future forecasts. Using real-world examples, John and Wally walk through how to start looking at relationships to evaluate trades, identify where profit actually exists, and avoid getting emotionally attached to inventory.
