As primary producer entrepreneurs we often get lost in the day-to-day operations of our farms. This is not uncommon, as many business owners spend little to no time working “on” the business as they are too involved “in” the business. Often we don’t even realize the potential opportunities we lose by not spending more time working on ourselves and our business as a whole.

Farmer Coach Level 1 was built to get you out of your comfort zone. Away from the tractor cab and into a group setting of like minded individuals all trying to better their businesses, and themselves. Have you ever wondered how other farms are wading the waters of risk and what concepts and business practices they use to survive? This is the concept of the course, to allow you to learn, collaborate, and set new standards for your own operation.

This is not a peer group. Farmer Coach is a coaching program that provides real concepts and current growing season risks to provide not only education, but ways for you as a business owner to break through ceilings that may be holding you down. Peer groups are based solely on group thought, this is based on education, collaboration, and coaching that will not only hold you accountable for your own success, but also provide the steps and guidance of how to reach your end goals.

The program is built around continued learning. This is not a one-and-done course, be ready to be involved for the long haul. Coaching is a concept of years and not days, therefore the course has been built to be long-term relationships, collaboration, and mindset shifts. As they say, “with current inflation, if you are standing still you are going backwards”. We want you to move forward, and believe the best way to do so is with Farmer Coach.

“Change is constant, so dream big and innovate fast”. Agriculture is a highly volatile and fast paced changing industry that encompasses a large amount of risk. We as professionals and entrepreneurs can not be masters of all, but we each can be masters of a few.

Farmer Coach Train the Trainer Program was built to assist consultants, professionals, and other entrepreneurs in keeping up with changing concepts at the “boots on the ground” level of farming. Our unique approach uses on-farm concepts and application of tools that our clients currently are using for success, and then to share them with all professionals so we can move the industry forward as a whole.

We do believe that the gap between the top farms and bottom farms (no matter what definition of success) is widening. Our goal is to bring both business forward so that we can keep up with global food demand and make all operations more profitable and less risk. We believe we can do this by have those that consult with these businesses all operating at a higher level and with internal farm application.

Introduction to Farm Business Management

So you have been driving machinery since you could touch the pedals, does this mean you are ready to enter the ring of primary producer agriculture?

Was the succession plan on your farm to drop the entire operation on your shoulders because you knew how to operate the drill and were willing to work hard?

Are you a farm employee that now wants to get involved in ownership and management but does not know where to start?

All of these scenarios make you an applicant for the Farmer Coach Young Farmer Program. This introduction to farm business management is a two day course that provides you with a high level understanding of the concepts of business that you need in order to “survive”. We will take you through the main financial, operational, and management concepts that farms use to wade the waters of risk and come out the other side.

This program is the initial step in the Farmer Coach journey and will provide you with business knowledge that you can apply to a new farming enterprise, or an old enterprise that requires change. We recommend this course for young farmers just entering the business with other members, or for key employees that want additional responsibilities.
