Podcast - Ken Solly (part 1) - Our latest podcast guest is none other than Ken Solly. Take a listen here. For those of you keen on advancing yourself in Agriculture, this is a must listen. Ken has helped numerous Farmers in his time, firstly as a TAFE teacher, and after that as a self-employed consultant. His great mate Wayne Hawkins said he could have easily doubled or even tripled the turnover of the Farmers he worked with, such was his influence. Ken is a deep thinker, a thorough observer and has been a great listener. He has a knack for turning complicated things into simple outcomes. I hope you enjoy. End of message.

What was in this mornings edition of The Farmers Club.

• Is your Ag education complete? Never, and when you listen to our Ken Solly podcast, you will get an understanding of how one of the great Agricultural minds thinks. See here the Ken Solly podcast preview on Apple and over here on Spotify.

• The justification of what Ken has done from his clients through his ongoing consultancy in South West Victoria and South East South Australia was summed up by his great Farming mate Wayne Hawkins. Wayne said that Ken would have double or tripled the income of the clients he has worked with, such was his influence. It really is a fantastic listen. Subscribe, and I will send it to you.

• Are you stepping into a bit of future-proofing? Worried about your direction? In an article today, Livestock futurist Simon Quilty steps into the future for a bit of a sneak peek around the corner. And for Cattle and Sheep, it looks positive, super positive really.

• Are you a mixed Farmer? Well, if you are, we feel you are in a good spot right now to be able to adjust your enterprise mix to suit the downwards trend in Grain prices, the upward tick in Livestock values and the opportunity in Hay. We write about it today.

• In our 80-odd snippets today, we came across an American Cropper who doesn’t paint a great short-term picture for their viability over there. They have no export markets for the Soybeans, and Corn prices aren’t that exciting. Like here, he said, Machinery costs are too high, and people are turning their backs on the new stuff. And it’s now got to a point where they are not Cropping some of their lesser paddocks, leaving them out. It’s a very interesting read.

• We say start your day informed. Don’t miss out on ideas, stories, relevant info, Ag news, and our Farmer replies. Subscribe and you will get access 6 days a week at 5 am Eastern time.

• Have a great Tuesday.
