In this episode, I share a bit of what is hot on my mind for season 7 and the critical importance of transition planning. Transition planning will be a big focus for season 7.
Isn’t transition planning one of the most important things to future proofing our farm and our industry?
In this video, I also share something new that I will be introducing to the show and this channel.

In today’s episode, Tracy chats with Terry Betker in this episode titled “Do Farm Founders Avoid Transition Planning?”
If farmers know they need to do transition planning and plenty of information is available, why are they not doing it? Is it finally time to address the elephant in the room? Are farm founders purposefully avoiding this subject? Tracy and Terry open the cans of words and get to some real talk about transition. Tracy has also noticed that it tends to be the farmwife, farm mom, female farm founder who pushes the subject of transition planning. She asks Terry if he has observed this, and they chat about gender differences, concerns, and roles on the farm. She asks Terry what he has noticed in his over 30 years of experience working with farm families on transition. Why do farmers avoid transition planning? What are ways to help farmers want to make this transition before it’s too little too late?
Is it finally time to address the elephant in the room?
The industry has encouraged farmers to create a transition plan for decades, yet little progress has been made. So, one needs to ask, do farmers purposefully avoid transition planning?
In this week’s episode, Tracy and Terry speak about:
Tracy and Terry discuss matters in this episode that are rarely discussed…the humanness, immortality, and conflicting desires of the farm founder.
If you are looking for a deep, meaningful, honest conversation on transition planning, you will want to tune into this episode.***********

In this week’s episode, “Increase Your Resiliency: Change Your Life And Farming Operation, ” Tracy speaks to John Sachse about increasing resiliency to change your life, relationships, and farming endurance.
What is resiliency, and why should farmers care about it? John shares ways to increase resiliency. So often, we hear the typical self-care items like eating well, getting more rest, and so on. In this episode, John discusses goal-setting and how it applies to building resiliency. This is a GAME CHANGER!!! Are you feeling short on motivation these days? John shares sources of motivation behind goal-setting. He explains the three different types of goals and how each one contributes to the bigger picture. John shares his framework for goal setting. You won’t want to miss this.
Noun: Resiliency
Definition: The capacity to withstand or to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness.
Well, goodness, as farmers, we could all use more resiliency on our journey, couldn’t we?
In this episode, that is precisely what Tracy and John speak about.
This episode has the potential to change your life. Truly.
As business owners and farmers, we constantly have to overcome obstacles, and it takes an incredible amount of resiliency to keep going day to day, month to month, and year to year.
I loved the information and framework that John shared on goal setting and how this “mere” act of goal setting can genuinely change your life, your relationships, and your farm performance and help you reconnect with your motivation.
If you are looking for a bit of motivation and a way to put some pep back in your step…please don’t miss this episode.
