    The Future Won't Wait: Building Stronger Farm Transitions This Summer with Derryn Shrosbree

    #familyfarm #ranching #farmtok  The Future Won't Wait: Building Stronger Farm Transitions This Summer When farm families think about succession planning, they often assume it's a conversation for the off-season. But what if summer is actually the best time to start? In this episode of The Impact Farming Show, Tracy sits down with farm succession expert Derryn Shrosbree to discuss why the busiest season on the farm may also be the most valuable season for planning the future. From meaningful conversations in the cab of a tractor to observing the next generation in action, Derryn shares practical insights that can help farm families build stronger transitions, reduce conflict, and create a clear path forward. If you've been putting off succession planning because you're too busy, this conversation may change the way you think about preparing for the future. Episode Highlights ✔ Why succession planning shouldn't be postponed until winter ✔ The powerful question every farm family should ask themselves: "What are you doing to feed your own family?" ✔ Simple succession conversations that can happen naturally during the summer months ✔ How to identify the next generation's strengths, interests, and readiness for leadership ✔ Common mistakes farm families make when they delay important discussions ✔ Practical ways to involve adult children in transition planning without creating pressure or conflict ✔ Warning signs that your family may be avoiding important succession conversations ✔ Three simple actions farmers can take before harvest season arrives ✔ Understanding why fairness and equality are not the same thing in farm succession ✔ One action every farm family can take this summer to strengthen their future Episode Timestamps 00:00 – Introduction 01:20 - Derryn shares more about himself, his honey & mushroom farm, and his work 02:45 – Why succession planning belongs on the summer to-do list 06:18 – Farmers feed the world—but are they feeding their own family? 10:51 – Simple conversations families can start while working together 14:28 - Tracy shares her worry about opening the conversation and asking kids their desires 16:38 - Splitting the farm equally among children is not sustainable. It will kill the farm. 18:38 - Tracy's fear of having the succession conversation without all the answers 20:48 - Controlling the narrative of your mind is the most important 23:40 – Why summer is the best season to observe the next generation 28:00 - Common mistakes farm families make when they delay important discussions 32:00 - Procrastination guarantees you leave behind a liability...not a legacy. 33:45 – Involving adult children without creating conflict 38:00 – Signs your family is avoiding difficult conversations 40:30 – Three practical steps to begin succession planning before harvest 42:20 – Fairness versus equality in farm transition planning 44:40 – The one thing every farm family should do this summer 45:58 – Final thoughts and key takeaways Every farm family knows the importance of preparing for the next season. Yet many postpone preparing for the next generation. The reality is simple: succession planning isn't a future problem—it's a current responsibility. Before harvest arrives, commit to one meaningful action. Ask a question. Start a conversation. Share your hopes for the future of the farm. You don't need all the answers to begin—you simply need the courage to start. If this episode challenged your thinking or inspired a conversation, share it with a family member, business partner, neighbour, or friend in agriculture. Together, we can help more farm families move from avoidance to action and build stronger transitions for generations to come.

    The Brazil Factor: What It Means for U.S. Soybeans and Global Competition | Michelle Klieger

    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.
