The Rogue Agronomist

Join Margy and I as we talk about social media and it’s importance in building a following, along with Ag retail’s relationship to crop consultants and various other topics including our favorite bands, dogs, and more.

I came across a post on Twitter the other day saying that “no matter how good of a person you are, you are the a**hole in someone else’s story”. One of my favorite quotes from a client is “everyone is the hero of their own story”. Trying to discern between the two can be hard, but if you don’t have a story at all you are likely the sidekick not a hero. Why it’s important to have your own story, why you need to make sure you give credit where credit is due, and why it’s ok to be an a-hole in someone else’s story.

Guest Jeremy Miner and I talk about agronomy basics and the scary pests that are popping up across the Midwest. Unscripted, just two agronomists talking about what we talk about.

People often brag about how they are different but when confronted with the question of why some will stumble or have a basic answer. Are they really different? A powerful question to ask potential agronomists and salespeople and something those people should be prepared to answer.

Join me and Michael McCammack as we talk about sports, accents, and our backgrounds in agriculture.

We have a desire to tell others how to do it, or to prove others wrong. Maybe it's more about how we approach teaching others than it is about telling them what they are doing wrong.

Elevated grain prices can lead to a white pickup invasion for farms. It's time to evaluate what you are being sold and still pay attention to your bottom line when it comes to value added products.

Programs can be difficult to understand, and don't get me started on discounts and how they are calculated. Listen as I describe some real life scenarios on why you have to pay attention to pricing.

It happens every year, prepay anxiety happens to many farms. Is it real or could you be overthinking things a little. It helps to put it all in perspective, tales from a former retail agronomist.
