In today’s episode, host John Haskell welcomes Micayla Giffin, a new member of the Ranch Right team, to the Ranchonomics podcast to discuss the importance of financial literacy in agriculture. Her unique skill set combining finance and farming knowledge and her experience in communicating financial concepts to farmers make her the perfect addition to our team and this conversation. Micayla shares her experience with data visualization, using metrics like term debt coverage and working capital to make informed decisions instead of emotional ones. They also discuss the challenges of buying land and the importance of understanding debt and compound growth for long-term success.
