Blessing or burden? - We are doing a story on Sam Van Assche, through The Farmers Club platform tomorrow. Sam is a young first-gen Farmer who Farms near Dunkeld in South West Victoria. Sam is an impressive young man who is going places. He spoke at our FarmTender2024 event back in March and wowed the crowd with his portrayal of the future.
It got me thinking: for those of us lucky enough to have had the opportunity to be a multi-generational Farmer, why don't we start thinking like a first-generation Farmer? Why? Because it might just be the tonic that catapults our businesses forward. How can we think and act with a scarcity mindset? Why don't we try other enterprises or side hustles as a first-gen Farmer would either in the lead-up to becoming a Landowner or post that period?
If we had this sort of attitude, how would we make do with what we have and turn it into something better? Inheriting a Farm can be a blessing and a burden. Expectations are high, and that plays on people's minds. It can also see us become a little complacent and reserved in our decision-making because we have something of value and don’t want to stuff it up.
The blessing bit is that we have something the first-gen doesn't have. It's generally classified as a head start. But then it's going to be what you make of it and how you turn it into something more. Do you see owning a Farm passed on as a blessing or burden? Reply to [email protected]
