What was in this mornings edition of The Farmers Club.

• Are you looking for a business opportunity in the Ag space? We reckon admin service for Farmers and Ag businesses might be a growth area. We gave three legitimate examples in an article today.

• And another business opportunity….. The Jeff McDonald podcast is a must-listen for anyone who has a Farm business and wants to stay above the average line. I think his "Sit With" type role, where he helps Farmers better their businesses, will be something that is much needed and in demand in the future.

• Are you consistent, and do you do what you say you are going to do? It's an important trait in Ag. Today is our 600th edition, and we're only getting started. I'd like to think that the traits mentioned above are two of my strongest ones. Delivering to a deadline every morning, 6 days a week. Join us as a subscriber.

• When have you felt you've made it? It's a loose kinda statement and a bit of self-judgement, and it's something you might keep to yourself. We wrote today about the success of the meat Processors and how you've kinda made it when you accumulate big swaths of Farming Land on the side. But you have really made it in meat Processing when you own your own Train. Initials RF…..

• Does the whole Farm succession thing scare you? We wrote about a very valid option today from a smart operator. Succession works when you have something up your sleeve, a bit of bargaining power and something a little bit extra. If it's debt-laden and a non-functional business, then it's just a fire sale.

• Do you find great benefit in being part of a like-minded group? People who will challenge you on subjects you are interested in. We have those people in our network, and you can tap into their wisdom.

• Thursday night already. Have a great one.
