Impact Farming

In this Product Spotlight, Tracy is joined by Matt Gosling, owner of Premium Ag, an agriculture consulting company based in Strathmore, Alberta.

Matt shares why he calls KWS Hybrid Fall Rye his "favourite crop" and even the "best herbicide on the market." From weed suppression to early harvest and agronomic consistency, Matt explains why hybrid rye stands out compared to other spring cereals.

We cover:

- Weed suppression & crop competition – why hybrid rye is such a strong tool for managing weeds. - Key steps for successful planting – what growers need to do in August/September to set themselves up for success, including field prep, residue management, seeding depth, and fertility planning. - Fitting hybrid rye into rotation – tips for first-time growers, stubble choice, volunteer management, and how hybrid rye can complement a canola system. - The June 21 advantage – how hybrid rye's reproduction timing avoids heat stress, improves grain fill, and contributes to stable yields in Western Canada.

Whether you've grown hybrid rye before or you're curious about trying it for the first time, this episode is packed with practical agronomic insights you can take straight to the field. Thanks for tuning,

Tracy

In this episode, we're joined by Brad Crammond — a farmer near Austin, Manitoba, with a unique background as a former agronomist and retailer. Brad brings a well-rounded perspective on KWS Hybrid Rye, sharing firsthand insights from the field and from the advisory side of the business.

From Agronomist to Full-Time Farmer

Brad kicks things off by reflecting on what initially drew him to rye, and how his first experience with hybrid rye was a game-changer — delivering a 30 bushel per acre yield boost that caught his attention and changed the way he viewed the crop's potential.

Going All-In on Hybrid Rye

We explore why Brad has now committed fully to hybrid rye. It's not just about yield — Brad explains how agronomics, harvest timing, weed suppression, and marketing flexibility all factored into his decision to expand acres.

Regrets and Resilience

Brad shares a moment of hindsight after last fall's rye harvest, where he wished he had kept more acres. We dig into what stood out about that crop — from winter survivability to spring vigor and overall crop resilience.

Advice from a Farmer & Agronomist

To wrap things up, Brad offers practical, farmer-to-farmer advice for anyone still on the fence about trying hybrid rye. Drawing from both his hands-on experience and years of crop advising, he highlights what to consider when evaluating this crop for your farm.

Whether you're new to rye or looking to push your yields higher, this episode is packed with field-proven insight and actionable advice.

Tune in now to hear Brad's full story and why he believes hybrid rye has earned a permanent place in his crop rotation.

Thanks for tuning,

Why Do Farm Founders Avoid Transition Planning?

For this week's episode, we are flashing back to an excellent episode from last fall.

This episode is titled "Why Do Farm Founders Avoid Transition Planning," with Terry Betker and it goes deep into why farm founders avoid transition planning. Terry draws on decades of experience working with farm founders on transition planning. He even shares some personal reflections on the topic.

Why re-broadcast? Since we are doing a deep dive into transition planning and the fears, worries, and concerns of each generation involved, I found myself thinking about this conversation with Terry and wanted to air it again as it's a real and honest conversation about what keeps farm founders up at night.

So, with that being said, I hope you enjoy this episode….

……………………….

Episode Summary

In today's episode, Tracy chats with Terry Betker in this episode titled "Why Do Farm Founders Avoid Transition Planning?" Is it finally time to address the elephant in the room? The industry has encouraged farmers to create a transition plan for decades, yet little progress has been made. So, one needs to ask, do farmers purposefully avoid transition planning?

In this week's episode, Tracy and Terry speak about: • If farmers know they need to do transition planning and plenty of information is available, why are they not doing it? • Is it finally time to address the elephant in the room? Are farm founders purposefully avoiding this subject? Tracy and Terry open the cans of words and get to some real talk about transition. • Tracy has also noticed that it tends to be the farmwife, farm mom, female farm founder who pushes the subject of transition planning. She asks Terry if he has observed this, and they chat about gender differences, concerns, and roles on the farm. • She asks Terry what he has noticed in his over 30 years of experience working with farm families on transition. Why do farmers avoid transition planning? • What are ways to help farmers want to make this transition before it's too little too late? Tracy and Terry discuss matters in this episode that are rarely discussed…the humanness, immortality, and conflicting desires of the farm founder. If you are looking for a deep, meaningful, honest conversation on transition planning, you will want to tune into this episode.

Thanks for tuning in friends,

Tracy

In this episode of The Impact Farming Show, Tracy discusses an overlooked challenge confronting family farms: fear. Whether you're already farming or dreaming of one day owning a farm, this conversation peels back the layers on how fear stifles succession and transition planning.

Why Discussing Fear Matters

- Fear is undermining family farms inch by inch, acre by acre, globally. - In the world of succession planning, it's not just data or logistics—it's emotions that hold us back. - Without acknowledging and confronting fear, even well-laid plans can collapse. Or more accurate yet. The plans just don't happen.

In This Episode

- Farm Business Psychology vs. Strategy Beyond spreadsheets and planning—there's a human, emotional 'psychology' at play. Understanding how fear impacts decisions is as important as financial know-how. - How Fear Shows Up in Loved Ones Fear manifests differently across generations: parents, children, siblings. Left unspoken, these fears can derail entire succession efforts. - Individual Fears Around Succession Each family member brings personal hopes, expectations—and fears. From financial insecurity and loss of identity, to burden and conflict, these underlying worries must be surfaced.

Who This Episode Is For

- Anyone involved in a family farm struggling with transition planning. - Families who want to break emotional paralysis and build lasting legacies. - Farmers and next-gen hoping to bridge generational gaps and foster meaningful, courageous conversations.

Takeaways & Action Steps

- Acknowledge fear: Make it visible in family discussions. - Seek external support: Coaches, financial planners, mediators can help. - Commit to small courageous actions: Progress isn't about perfection—it's about persistence in the face of fear. - Keep communication open: Refresh plans, feelings, and goals regularly and compassionately.

Quote to Remember

"Unless we can name our fears, get them in the open, seek guidance and knowledge to overcome and act…fear will continue to destroy family farms."

Thanks so much for tuning in,

Tracy
