Be current with the trends in AG, are you a leader or a follower?
What was important in AG 20 years is not today and nor will it be in the future. Don’t get stuck with the sunset farmers at Timmies who still bring up ‘old ‘ problems! Look to the future. AG is strong. People will always need to eat and people will always want secure food. Listen to the consumer, talk to the politicians in charge making decision that directly affect you and your famr. Be a part of those conversations!!!
