What was in this mornings edition of The Farmers Club.

• Get in before the price rise - We are putting our monthly subscription price up from $40 + GST to $45 + GST on February 1st. But if you subscriber before then, we promise to freeze the $40 + GST price for at least 2 years (24 months), maybe longer. So if you have been thinking about signing up one day, now is the time. After February 1, we will also be reducing this free version from 6 days to 2 days a week. Head to the bottom of the page and click upgrade, or if you are having any issues subscribing, ring, text or email (see below), and I can help you out.

• When we are planning something, it's best to start with the end first. We have a great couple of examples of this in an article this morning.

• I heard a commentator say that from now on, in business, you need to keep abreast of things to keep your head above water. He said: "Average is over". It aligns with our statement that, in Agriculture, we can't afford to be average anymore. 2026 for us will be about keeping Farmers and Ag business people alike on the green line. See the image below.

• On our little Farm, we have an automated water system with a bunch of sensors in the tanks that trigger pumps when the water drops to a certain level. Once the water reaches the top of the hill, it gravity feeds to the Sheep troughs, lawns, and gardens, giving us a system we don't have to touch. It's all recorded on an app, giving us peace of mind. We explain it all in a 15-part image workflow today. By gee, it works well.

• We gave examples in an article today of a couple of Sheep Farmers who have used a couple of successful systems as a base to build their own systems on top of that to create a value add that is working for them. They are two very clever outfits, the sort of things needed to keep their operations on the green line. See the image below.

• Have a great Monday, and subscribe to keep yourself fully informed each day.
