Saving the farm: A New Year's resolution worth keeping

Straight Talk with NDFB

Jan 24 2024 • 49 mins

In today's episode, we answer the question “What are you going to do today so your great-grandkids can farm someday?”

Hosts Emmery Mehlhoff and Alisha Nord visit with Andy Junkin about his business “Stubborn Farm.” Andy is originally from Bobcaygeon, Ontario, but now lives in eastern Iowa with his wife and four kids. Andy helps stubborn farmers work better together.

Join us as we talk about how:

  • 77% of farmers do not have a succession plan
  • Many farms that have a succession plan have parties who are not happy about it
  • Farm succession should not happen in the funeral home
  • The first land every farmer should buy should be the cemetery plot

Learn how to turn stubbornness into:

  • Stubbornness at listening to each other
  • Stubbornness in improving your character
  • And stubbornness in having good relationships with your family and your partners

Together, we talk about how to save the family farm.
