Episode 220: The Agri-preneur Mindset with Evan Shout

 

In this week’s episode, Tracy speaks to Evan Shout about “The Agri-preneur Mindset.”

In this episode, Tracy and Evan discuss:

• Is your farm a business or a lifestyle? This is always a hot topic in agriculture, and Evan shares his thoughts on it to open the conversation.
• Tracy asks Evan to share more about Farmer Coach, a farm business coaching program launched to bridge the gap between farming as a lifestyle and farming as a successful and thriving business.
• Evan speaks and coaches farmers about the Agri-preneur Mindset. He elaborates more on the thinking, actions, and behaviours accompanying this mindset.
  • We are headed into a down cycle for the crop sector; now, more than ever, it’s time to act like a business. Evan shares some thoughts about the near future—good and bad, tight times and opportunities.
  • Agri-preneur farmers show up differently than lifestyle farmers. Evan shares four key areas and insights on strengthening farmers' farming operations. They discuss:
  • Business structures and systems.
  • Income, costs, and driving revenue through side hustles.
  • How they work in the business (roles, hired employees, working on business and not in)
  • Learning and goals

This episode has some great takeaways if you want to strengthen your operation and adopt an agri-preneur mindset.

Evan is a great speaker with some keen insights on farm business management.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did.

Thanks friends,

Tracy
