Impact Farming

The trades are more than just a career path—they're the backbone of our communities and economies. In this episode, we sit down with Dennis Beaudoin, Dean of the School of Trades & Skills at Olds College of Agriculture & Technology, to explore how Olds is equipping students for meaningful, in-demand careers in the skilled trades.

With a proud history dating back to 1913 and a future-focused approach to hands-on education, Olds College is leading the way in trades and skills development through innovative programs, dynamic partnerships, and a strong sense of community.

Just like farm transition is a hot topic and opportunity for the next generation, there's an incredible and growing opportunity in the coming decades as current trades business owners begin to retire. Transition planning in the trades sector will create space for skilled, entrepreneurial leaders to step up and shape the future of these industries.

Whether you're a student exploring options, a past graduate looking to reconnect, or an industry leader seeking ways to support the next generation of skilled workers—this episode has something for you.

What You'll Hear About:

- What makes Olds College unique in Alberta's post-secondary landscape - An overview of trades and skills programs: pre-employment, apprenticeships, RAAP, dual credit, diplomas & certificates - Why the trades are not just important—but essential to our future - High demand for graduates—with a 98% placement rate for students entering the workforce - The growing opportunity in trades business ownership as older generations retire - Exciting updates on Olds College's trades building expansion and what it means for students and industry - Why Olds College stands out—and the team behind its growing reputation - How individuals, alumni, and businesses can support the Trades Campaign - Information for prospective students and how to take the next step

Final words of encouragement for anyone considering a future in the trades? Dennis has some great words of wisdom for anyone looking for a career path and considering the trades.

Tracy

When it comes to family business succession, it's often not what we don't know that gets us into trouble—it's what we assume we know.

In this episode, Patti Durand joins Tracy to unpack five common (but misleading) assumptions about family business transitions—handpicked by Tracy from Chapter 3 of Patti's book, The Future Leader: The Successor's Guide to Family Business Leadership.

These assumptions may sound familiar… even logical. But left unchallenged, they can quietly undermine the very foundation of a successful transition.

What You'll Hear About:

- Five popular succession assumptions—straight from Patti's book - How unspoken assumptions can derail even the best-laid plans - The potential limitations of even your most trusted advisors - What happens when you assume a plan exists… but haven't seen it - How lifelong familiarity can blind us to what's really being said—or left unsaid - The hidden strength in saying, "I don't know" - What future leaders and founders both need to start doing now

From unspoken expectations to misplaced confidence in familiar advisors, Patti walks us through the blind spots that can quietly derail succession plans. But don't worry—we're not giving it all away in the show notes.

You'll have to listen to find out what assumptions could be quietly holding your family business back.

In this week's episode, Tracy sits down with journalist and author Brian Reisinger to discuss one of the most pressing — yet overlooked — issues in agriculture today: how farmers continually get caught in the crossfire of government policy, global trade, and economic upheaval.

Brian is the author of the powerful book Land Rich, Cash Poor: My Family's Hope and the Untold History of the Disappearing American Farmer, which traces the historical and ongoing struggles of farmers against a backdrop of political decisions that too often leave them behind.

From the trade wars and tariffs of today to policy decisions made over a century ago, Tracy and Brian explore the deep and often devastating connection between government policy and farm economics. They unpack how the American farmer has repeatedly gotten the short end of the stick—despite feeding the world.

🌾 In This Episode, You'll Hear About:

- How the 1910s pushed farmers into financial stress—well before the Great Depression - The impact of the 1930s Great Depression and Dust Bowl on American agriculture - The 1940s & 50s shift toward urbanization and technological change, and what it meant for rural communities - The real story behind the 1970s and 80s farm crisis—and how it started long before the 1980s - Today's challenges: tariffs, trade wars, consolidation, and economic uncertainty - - How the Great Recession and a focus on mass production diverted agriculture from value-added opportunities Brian's insights on how farmers can reclaim some control over their future

Whether you're in agriculture or just want to understand the real cost of policy decisions on rural America, this episode is rich in history, insight, and urgency.

Thanks so much for tuning in,

Tracy

In this week's episode of The Impact Farming Show, Tracy speaks with Damian Mason on "The Next Farm Crisis: Tariffs, Trade Wars, Land Bubbles, Oversupply & Deglobalization."

Does history repeat itself? Well, it may not repeat itself exactly, but our current economic environment is showing many similarities to the farm crisis of the 1970s and 1980s.

Don't miss this thought-provoking conversation.

Conversation Time Stamps

[0:00] - Introduction [1:40] - Is agriculture history repeating itself, with similarities from the 70s and 80s? [3:39] - The political, economic, trade, and productive climates are very similar to the 70s and 80s. [3:45] - Anyone in agriculture that is around 40 year olds only knows the golden age of North American agriculture. This is dangerous. [4:10] - 80's were terrible. Damian shares about the 80s land values dropping, farm bankruptcies and farms so far upside down that the bank refused to foreclose. [6:17] - So, are we as bad as the 1980s? No, but Damian makes some startling comparisons that will raise a few eyebrows. [6:20] - What got us into the 80s farm crisis? Inflation, global strife, trade fights, oversupply, and uncertainty. We are facing all the same economic conditions right now. [8:31] - The World is vastly oversupplied, and this is being reflected in price and trade wars. [9:07] - Asset run-up is another factor. Land is at near record highs, as it was in the 1980s. [9:54] - Supply and demand. Tracy asks, "Are we still feeding a growing World, Damian?" [11:18] - Industrialization, innovation, and incredible yield advancement have outpaced population growth. [12:20] - North American 20 to 25 year "up cycle" in demand for agriculture products. [12:54] - We have reached productive capacity, and population growth is heading towards decline. [15:40] - Misleading messaging to farmers. "Feeding the growing World" is no longer accurate and is a dangerously misleading statement for farmers considering farm growth or not. [18:40] - PIK program from the 80s. Subsidizing farmers to reduce agricultural production in dairy, corn, etc. [19:36] - Vastly oversupplied right now. This is a similar tune to 80's over supply. [20:00] - Caution to 40 and 50-year-old farmers on future agriculture and farm growth. [22:38] - "If you got the dirt, you cannot get hurt." A younger generation is banking on land, which could never possibly decrease in value. [24:40] - Are we in a very different time in history? Attempting change of World powers. [26:07] - Deglobalization versus globalization. [27:28] - Trade wars, protectionism, tariffs, and de-globalization are one interconnected conversation. [28:30] - European agriculture protectionism. [29:50] - USA protectionism. Started long before Trump. [31:00] - Canadian protectionism: Canadian poultry and dairy supply management is protectionism. Pros and cons. [34:00] - Damian predicts supply management is coming to American agriculture. [36:40] - So what's the answer? [37:00] - Just open new markets. The consumers are already being fed. No one is going unserved. [38:00] - We are now all fighting for the same consumer. No new consumers. [39:00] - Is this the new normal? What do farmers need to have on their radar? [39:30] - Damian predicts indefinite trade spats for the foreseeable future. [44:00] - Damian, what advice would you give to a 28-year-old young farmer who wants to expand the farm?

If you want a thought-provoking and non-mainstream conversation, don't miss this episode!

Thanks for tuning in,

Tracy
