    58. Liquidity, Land, and Ag's Next Chapter with Jackson Takach

    Agricultural lending doesn't make headlines the way Wall Street does. But behind every farm mortgage is a system designed to keep capital moving, lenders solvent, and farmers farming. That system nearly broke in the 1980s. Congress responded by creating Farmer Mac, and the market has never been the same. In this conversation, Dr. Craig Lemoine sits down with Jackson Takach, Chief Economist at Farmer Mac, to trace the arc of agricultural finance from the farm crisis through COVID, the commodity boom, rising interest rates, tariff disruptions, and into a 2026 landscape full of uncertainty and opportunity. Jackson brings two decades of perspective to the conversation and doesn't shy away from what worries him or what excites him about the year ahead. Key topics: What Farmer Mac does and why the secondary market for ag mortgages mattersHow COVID triggered a refinancing boom that saved many farm operations real moneyWhy rising interest rates froze land supply and pushed farmland prices higher anywayHow tariffs hit soybean, cotton, and rice producers hardest and drove up Chapter 12 bankruptciesWhat 2026 looks like across corn, soybeans, biofuels, proteins, and specialty cropsHow farmers are tapping land equity to manage working capital as input costs stay elevatedConnect with us!

    57. Trading Grain and Commodities with Dave Chatterton

    Markets now react to headlines in milliseconds. Algorithms scan reports, execute trades, and flood exchanges with activity before most humans finish reading the news. Yet agriculture still moves on a different clock. Crops grow over months, risk builds across seasons, and farmers face decisions that affect an entire year’s income. In this conversation, Dr. Craig Lemoine sits down with commodity trader Dave Chatterton to explore how farmers manage price risk and how commodity markets evolved from noisy trading pits to high-speed electronic systems. The tools changed dramatically. The relationships and judgment behind them still matter just as much. Key topics: How farmers use futures, options, and marketing strategies to manage price risk before harvestThe role grain marketing plays in determining a farm’s annual profitWhat changed as commodity trading moved from open-outcry pits to algorithmic marketsWhy information floods markets today and how professionals filter what actually mattersThe growing interest in farmland from investors, family offices, and financial advisorsWhy agriculture remains a relationship-driven industry even as technology accelerates tradingConnect with us!

    56. International Agriculture with Ed Blundy

    Farmland is no longer a purely local conversation. As global capital looks for stability, diversification, and long-term value, agriculture continues to draw interest from investors who may have never stepped foot on a farm. That shift brings opportunity, complexity, and new questions about how land is owned, managed, and passed on across generations. In this episode, Ed Blundy of Brown & Co. joins Dr. Lemoine to explore agriculture through an international lens shaped by both education and lived experience. Ed was trained in practical agriculture before moving into land management, and brings a perspective that sits between working farms and institutional capital. He shares how that foundation informs his work at Brown & Co., before diving into the UK’s evolving inheritance tax landscape and the growing institutional interest in farmland across Europe, Australia, and beyond, connecting financial strategy with the realities of rural economies. Key topics and takeaways How farmland is emerging as a global asset class for institutional and family office investorsThe impact of inheritance tax changes on land ownership and succession in the UKWhy collaboration and data-sharing matter in cross-border agricultural investingWhat rising input costs, water constraints, and technology could mean for the future of farmingConnect with us!

    55. Money and Happiness with Professor Donovan Sanchez

    Money shows up in nearly every major life decision, but it almost never comes with clear guidance on how to use it in a way that actually supports our long-term satisfaction. In this episode, Dr. Craig Lemoine sits down with Professor Donovan Sanchez to explore how financial education is evolving and why happiness deserves a place in the conversation alongside returns, income, and planning models. The discussion moves through what the data says about income and well-being, how people adapt to comfort and convenience, and why experiences and relationships consistently matter more than most financial upgrades. The episode also takes a thoughtful turn into higher education, examining what it means to train future advisors and how research reshapes the way we think and question assumptions. Key topics discussed in this episode: How income relates to happiness and why the relationship is weaker than most people expectThe role of hedonic adaptation in everyday financial decisionsWhy experiences tend to create longer-lasting satisfaction than material purchasesHow spending on others strengthens relationships and personal well-beingWhat the research says about money, meaning, and life evaluationHow financial education can better connect numbers to human outcomes Connect with us!
