Navigating Turbulent Times, 2025 Show Focus, My Personal Story & Why I Launched "The Impact Farming Show"


In this solo episode of The Impact Farming Show, Tracy breaks down the key challenges and shifts facing farming in 2025. From escalating costs and lower crop prices to political instability and the vital need for transition planning, there’s a lot to cover in this discussion.

Tracy also shares more about her story, why she launched The Impact Farming Show, her personal interest in transition planning, and what to expect on the show in 2025!

  • I share my background, why I started The Impact Farming Show over 7 years ago, and the passion behind helping farmers with real, practical solutions for their operations.
