Episode 78: Developing The Next Generation of Farm Leaders w/Kelly Dobson

Is the next farm generation ready? It is a loaded question, and in this week’s show, Tracy speaks to Kelly Dobson about this exact topic in this episode titled “Developing The Next Generation Of Farm Leaders.”

As a leadership expert and coach for farmers, Kelly helps farmers develop themselves so that they can better manage and grow their farming operations. We start with leadership development and why it’s so essential for today’s farmer. We quickly dive into whether or not the next generation is even ready to take over the farming operation. Some of the questions asked are:
• Are we doing a better job now of mentoring the incoming generation sooner on the business, finances, and decision-making activities on the farm? Not the production side of farming, the business side.
• What are some of the biggest mistakes that we see farmers making when it comes to mentoring the next generation?
• What are some actionable ideas that we can start to implement right away on our farm to mentor the next generation better?
If you have multiple generations on your farm, and a transition in the future, you will not want to miss this episode.
