Welcome back to Beyond the Crops, where farm life meets real life! Did you know a staggering 80% of farmers don't plan to fully retire, creating huge risks for the farm and family.

Mary Pat and Jena are joined by ag economist Jessica Groff, to debunk financial myths and reveal the four essential estate documents every adult needs now to protect their legacy. 📌 What We Cover in This Episode: ✅ Why 80% of farmers don't plan to fully retire. ✅ Moving beyond the "the farm is my retirement" mindset. ✅ Planning for the staggering costs of long-term care. ✅ Debunking common retirement account myths. ✅ Retirement accounts designed for farmers (like the Solo 401k). ✅ The importance of building your professional "dream team." ✅ Asking the powerful question: "What is enough?" ✅ Why Mom can't be left out of the succession plan. ✅ The four essential estate documents every adult needs NOW. 💡 Key Takeaways: ✨ Your body will likely make the retirement choice for you before you're ready. Planning ahead ensures the farm and your family are protected when you physically can no longer work. ✨ Building a trusted team of professionals (attorney, CPA, financial advisor) is non-negotiable for navigating the complexities of succession, retirement, and long-term care planning. ✨ Retirement accounts are flexible tools that can reduce tax liability, provide income for older generations, take pressure off the farm, and even help equalize inheritance for non-farming heirs. ✨ The most crucial, immediate step every adult should take is to establish the four basic estate planning documents: a will, a power of attorney, a power of attorney for healthcare, and a healthcare directive. ✨ Ask the tough questions now: "What is enough?" and "What do our sunset years look like?"

Preserving Heritage Through Distilling : Cornfields to Cocktails

In this episode, we sit down with Ryan Bare, the visionary behind Century Farms Distillery—a craft distillery rooted in agricultural tradition and dedicated to producing premium farm-to-bottle spirits. Growing up on his family’s Iowa farm, Ryan learned early the value of hard work, precision, and pride in the land.

111. Thinking Outside the Box: How a "Crunchy" Approach to Agronomy Can Boost Your Farm's ROI with Faith Pierson

Welcome back to Beyond the Crops, where farm life meets real life! Join your hosts, Jena Ochsner and Mary Pat Sass, as they "think outside the box" with special guest and agronomist, Faith Pearson. In this eye-opening conversation, Faith Pierson (aka "The Crunchy Agronomist") challenges conventional wisdom and draws fascinating parallels between holistic human health and the health of our soil. 📌 What We Cover in This Episode: ✅ Holistic Soil Health vs. Traditional Agronomy ✅ Rethinking the Soil Test ✅ The "Makeup" Effect of Nitrogen ✅ The "Fence Row Effect" ✅ Challenging "The Way We've Always Done It" ✅ A Candid Conversation About Roundup (Glyphosate): * Its history (did you know it was originally an industrial pipe cleaner?). * How it works as a chelator and its potential impact on crops and soil biology. * The importance of stewarding chemistries to combat weed resistance. * Discussing how it's possible to farm with less, or even without, Roundup. ✅ Faith's "Hot Take": Her biggest challenge to the industry revolves around nitrogen rates and rethinking what's enough versus what's too much. 💡 Key Takeaways: ✨ Just like in human health, addressing the root cause of an issue in the soil is more effective and sustainable than repeatedly treating the symptom. ✨ Traditional soil tests may not be giving you the full picture. A more holistic test can reveal your true limiting factors and prevent you from applying inputs that aren't providing a return on investment. ✨ Over-reliance on synthetic fertilizers can disrupt the natural soil microbiome, making your farm more dependent on inputs over time. ✨ Challenging "the way we've always done it" and being open to new methods is crucial for long-term soil health, resilience to weather events, and farm profitability. ✨ Taking one small, informed step—like getting a different kind of soil test—is the best way to begin the journey toward a healthier, more resilient farming operation. This episode of Beyond the Crops is brought to you by Beck's Hybrids. Built on faith, family, and a love for agriculture since 1937, Beck's is committed to helping farmers succeed for generations.

Episode 17 - A Conversation with Dr. Ryan Burkhart

Welcome to The Rural Well! *Sensitive content warning* In today’s powerful and heartfelt episode, hosts Bridget and Lauren dive into a conversation that blends the proud heritage of farming with the complexities of mental health. They sit down with Dr. Ryan Burkhart — a farm kid turned mental health leader — who shares his journey from rural Indiana to Colorado, where he now serves as Dean of Counseling at Colorado Christian University. Ryan opens up about choosing a path away from the family farm, his reflections on faith, resilience, the epidemic of loneliness, and how rural communities can build meaningful connections. Together, they explore how farming values shape compassion, community support, and personal growth — even amid life’s deepest challenges. The episode also highlights the inspiring work of the Travis Burkhart Foundation, created by Ryan’s family after his brother Travis survived a life-altering brain injury. Their story of turning personal tragedy into community support is one of resilience, faith, and hope. This candid, thoughtful conversation reminds us all: while rural life has its hardships, it also holds deep strength, connection, and purpose. - https://www.travisburkhartfoundation.com/ - https://www.ccu.edu/spotlights/faculty/rburkhart/ Links and Resources: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.nfmha.ca/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - National Farmer Mental Health Alliance ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.lilaclanemedia.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Lilac Lane Media Facebook -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/theruralwell⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/theruralwell⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/theruralwell⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@theruralwell⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Email: info [at] theruralwell.com

Episode 304 - Is It Feasible to Pay Top Dollar for Beef-on-Dairy Calves? - UMN Extension's The Moos Room

In this episode, Emily and Brad reunite to dive into a hot topic on the beef-on-dairy circuit: Are today’s sky-high calf prices economically sustainable? After crisscrossing the country speaking with farmers and cattle buyers, Brad shares firsthand insights and jaw-dropping market figures — with beef-on-dairy calves selling for up to $1,600. The duo discusses whether investing in calves at these prices can truly yield profit when factoring in feed, labor, and marketing constraints. Brad reviews recent research from Michigan State University suggesting producers may be overpaying by $40–$75 per head based on expected returns. Despite the volatility, beef-on-dairy is here to stay, now making up 15–20% of U.S. beef supply. Key takeaway: Know your cost of production. It’s the foundation for making smart, profitable decisions in this fast-changing market. Stay tuned for more workshops and research updates from the Minnesota Beef and Dairy Extension team.

Hedge Smarter, Not Harder: How SimpleHedge Helps Farmers Protect Profits

We sit down with Mark, the founder of SimpleHedge, to discuss how his platform is changing the way farmers manage price risk. After building a successful career in the tech world—working at Meta and McKinsey—Mark turned his attention to agriculture, recognizing a gap in farmer-accessible risk management tools.

SimpleHedge aims to fix that, providing a platform that delivers clear recommendations, personalized strategies, and confidence—without requiring a background in trading. He walks us through how the platform works, how it pulls and analyzes market data, and how it customizes strategies based on a user’s unique operation. We also cover farmer concerns around safety and control—highlighting how SimpleHedge provides guided recommendations, not hands-off execution, and how users can get started without connecting sensitive accounts. Throughout the episode, Mark shares real-world success stories, ROI examples, and where the future of tech-enabled farm risk management is headed. Whether you're a seasoned marketer or just getting started with options and futures, this conversation demystifies a topic that can make or break a year’s profit.

Preserving Heritage Through Distilling : Cornfields to Cocktails

In this episode, we sit down with Ryan Bare, the visionary behind Century Farms Distillery—a craft distillery rooted in agricultural tradition and dedicated to producing premium farm-to-bottle spirits. Growing up on his family’s Iowa farm, Ryan learned early the value of hard work, precision, and pride in the land. After earning a degree in mechanical engineering from Iowa State University, Ryan spent over 15 years refining oil and producing ethanol before circling back to his agricultural roots with a bold idea: start a distillery that pays tribute to the very ground he grew up on. Founded in 2017, Century Farms Distillery celebrates the legacy of Iowa’s multigenerational farms. Ryan walks us through the journey—from navigating complicated distilling regulations to sourcing high-quality local grains that deliver standout flavors in every batch. We discuss the differences between producing energy and crafting spirits, how farm practices directly influence taste, and what it means to distill with purpose and pride. Ryan also shares insights on branding, connecting with consumers through storytelling, and expanding the distillery’s reach beyond Iowa. Whether it’s whiskey, bourbon, or celebrating agricultural heritage, Ryan’s mission is clear: honor the past while innovating for the future.

Episode 17 - A Conversation with Dr. Ryan Burkhart

Welcome to The Rural Well! *Sensitive content warning* In today’s powerful and heartfelt episode, hosts Bridget and Lauren dive into a conversation that blends the proud heritage of farming with the complexities of mental health. They sit down with Dr. Ryan Burkhart — a farm kid turned mental health leader — who shares his journey from rural Indiana to Colorado, where he now serves as Dean of Counseling at Colorado Christian University. Ryan opens up about choosing a path away from the family farm, his reflections on faith, resilience, the epidemic of loneliness, and how rural communities can build meaningful connections. Together, they explore how farming values shape compassion, community support, and personal growth — even amid life’s deepest challenges. The episode also highlights the inspiring work of the Travis Burkhart Foundation, created by Ryan’s family after his brother Travis survived a life-altering brain injury. Their story of turning personal tragedy into community support is one of resilience, faith, and hope. This candid, thoughtful conversation reminds us all: while rural life has its hardships, it also holds deep strength, connection, and purpose. - https://www.travisburkhartfoundation.com/ - https://www.ccu.edu/spotlights/faculty/rburkhart/ Links and Resources: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.nfmha.ca/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - National Farmer Mental Health Alliance ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.lilaclanemedia.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Lilac Lane Media Facebook -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/theruralwell⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/theruralwell⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/theruralwell⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@theruralwell⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Email: info [at] theruralwell.com

Hedge Smarter, Not Harder: How SimpleHedge Helps Farmers Protect Profits

We sit down with Mark, the founder of SimpleHedge, to discuss how his platform is changing the way farmers manage price risk. After building a successful career in the tech world—working at Meta and McKinsey—Mark turned his attention to agriculture, recognizing a gap in farmer-accessible risk management tools. Mark explains that while hedging is essential for protecting farm revenue, it’s long been confusing, expensive, and out of reach for most producers. SimpleHedge aims to fix that, providing a platform that delivers clear recommendations, personalized strategies, and confidence—without requiring a background in trading. He walks us through how the platform works, how it pulls and analyzes market data, and how it customizes strategies based on a user’s unique operation. We also cover farmer concerns around safety and control—highlighting how SimpleHedge provides guided recommendations, not hands-off execution, and how users can get started without connecting sensitive accounts. Throughout the episode, Mark shares real-world success stories, ROI examples, and where the future of tech-enabled farm risk management is headed.

112. How to Actually Retire from Farming: Financial Planning & Estate Essentials with Jessica Groff

Welcome back to Beyond the Crops, where farm life meets real life! Did you know a staggering 80% of farmers don't plan to fully retire, creating huge risks for the farm and family. In this crucial succession episode, we're tackling the tough questions about what happens when you can no longer work. Mary Pat and Jena are joined by ag economist Jessica Groff, to debunk financial myths and reveal the four essential estate documents every adult needs now to protect their legacy. 📌 What We Cover in This Episode: ✅ Why 80% of farmers don't plan to fully retire. ✅ Moving beyond the "the farm is my retirement" mindset. ✅ Planning for the staggering costs of long-term care. ✅ Debunking common retirement account myths. ✅ Retirement accounts designed for farmers (like the Solo 401k). ✅ The importance of building your professional "dream team." ✅ Asking the powerful question: "What is enough?" ✅ Why Mom can't be left out of the succession plan. ✅ The four essential estate documents every adult needs NOW. 💡 Key Takeaways: ✨ Your body will likely make the retirement choice for you before you're ready. Planning ahead ensures the farm and your family are protected when you physically can no longer work. ✨ Building a trusted team of professionals (attorney, CPA, financial advisor) is non-negotiable for navigating the complexities of succession, retirement, and long-term care planning. ✨ Retirement accounts are flexible tools that can reduce tax liability, provide income for older generations, take pressure off the farm, and even help equalize inheritance for non-farming heirs. ✨ The most crucial, immediate step every adult should take is to establish the four basic estate planning documents: a will, a power of attorney, a power of attorney for healthcare, and a healthcare directive. ✨ Ask the tough questions now: "What is enough?" and "What do our sunset years look like?"

Preserving Heritage Through Distilling : Cornfields to Cocktails

In this episode, we sit down with Ryan Bare, the visionary behind Century Farms Distillery—a craft distillery rooted in agricultural tradition and dedicated to producing premium farm-to-bottle spirits. Growing up on his family’s Iowa farm, Ryan learned early the value of hard work, precision, and pride in the land. After earning a degree in mechanical engineering from Iowa State University, Ryan spent over 15 years refining oil and producing ethanol before circling back to his agricultural roots with a bold idea: start a distillery that pays tribute to the very ground he grew up on. Founded in 2017, Century Farms Distillery celebrates the legacy of Iowa’s multigenerational farms. Ryan walks us through the journey—from navigating complicated distilling regulations to sourcing high-quality local grains that deliver standout flavors in every batch. We discuss the differences between producing energy and crafting spirits, how farm practices directly influence taste, and what it means to distill with purpose and pride. Ryan also shares insights on branding, connecting with consumers through storytelling, and expanding the distillery’s reach beyond Iowa. Whether it’s whiskey, bourbon, or celebrating agricultural heritage, Ryan’s mission is clear: honor the past while innovating for the future.

111. Thinking Outside the Box: How a "Crunchy" Approach to Agronomy Can Boost Your Farm's ROI with Faith Pierson

Welcome back to Beyond the Crops, where farm life meets real life! Join your hosts, Jena Ochsner and Mary Pat Sass, as they "think outside the box" with special guest and agronomist, Faith Pearson. In this eye-opening conversation, Faith Pierson (aka "The Crunchy Agronomist") challenges conventional wisdom and draws fascinating parallels between holistic human health and the health of our soil. 📌 What We Cover in This Episode: ✅ Holistic Soil Health vs. Traditional Agronomy ✅ Rethinking the Soil Test ✅ The "Makeup" Effect of Nitrogen ✅ The "Fence Row Effect" ✅ Challenging "The Way We've Always Done It" ✅ A Candid Conversation About Roundup (Glyphosate): * Its history (did you know it was originally an industrial pipe cleaner?). * How it works as a chelator and its potential impact on crops and soil biology. * The importance of stewarding chemistries to combat weed resistance. * Discussing how it's possible to farm with less, or even without, Roundup. ✅ Faith's "Hot Take": Her biggest challenge to the industry revolves around nitrogen rates and rethinking what's enough versus what's too much. 💡 Key Takeaways: ✨ Just like in human health, addressing the root cause of an issue in the soil is more effective and sustainable than repeatedly treating the symptom. ✨ Traditional soil tests may not be giving you the full picture. A more holistic test can reveal your true limiting factors and prevent you from applying inputs that aren't providing a return on investment. ✨ Over-reliance on synthetic fertilizers can disrupt the natural soil microbiome, making your farm more dependent on inputs over time. ✨ Challenging "the way we've always done it" and being open to new methods is crucial for long-term soil health, resilience to weather events, and farm profitability. ✨ Taking one small, informed step—like getting a different kind of soil test—is the best way to begin the journey toward a healthier, more resilient farming operation. This episode of Beyond the Crops is brought to you by Beck's Hybrids. Built on faith, family, and a love for agriculture since 1937, Beck's is committed to helping farmers succeed for generations.

Hedge Smarter, Not Harder: How SimpleHedge Helps Farmers Protect Profits

We sit down with Mark, the founder of SimpleHedge, to discuss how his platform is changing the way farmers manage price risk. After building a successful career in the tech world—working at Meta and McKinsey—Mark turned his attention to agriculture, recognizing a gap in farmer-accessible risk management tools. Mark explains that while hedging is essential for protecting farm revenue, it’s long been confusing, expensive, and out of reach for most producers. SimpleHedge aims to fix that, providing a platform that delivers clear recommendations, personalized strategies, and confidence—without requiring a background in trading. He walks us through how the platform works, how it pulls and analyzes market data, and how it customizes strategies based on a user’s unique operation. We also cover farmer concerns around safety and control—highlighting how SimpleHedge provides guided recommendations, not hands-off execution, and how users can get started without connecting sensitive accounts. Throughout the episode, Mark shares real-world success stories, ROI examples, and where the future of tech-enabled farm risk management is headed. Whether you're a seasoned marketer or just getting started with options and futures, this conversation demystifies a topic that can make or break a year’s profit.

111. Thinking Outside the Box: How a "Crunchy" Approach to Agronomy Can Boost Your Farm's ROI with Faith Pierson

Welcome back to Beyond the Crops, where farm life meets real life! Join your hosts, Jena Ochsner and Mary Pat Sass, as they "think outside the box" with special guest and agronomist, Faith Pearson. In this eye-opening conversation, Faith Pierson (aka "The Crunchy Agronomist") challenges conventional wisdom and draws fascinating parallels between holistic human health and the health of our soil. 📌 What We Cover in This Episode: ✅ Holistic Soil Health vs. Traditional Agronomy ✅ Rethinking the Soil Test ✅ The "Makeup" Effect of Nitrogen ✅ The "Fence Row Effect" ✅ Challenging "The Way We've Always Done It" ✅ A Candid Conversation About Roundup (Glyphosate): * Its history (did you know it was originally an industrial pipe cleaner?). * How it works as a chelator and its potential impact on crops and soil biology. * The importance of stewarding chemistries to combat weed resistance. * Discussing how it's possible to farm with less, or even without, Roundup. ✅ Faith's "Hot Take": Her biggest challenge to the industry revolves around nitrogen rates and rethinking what's enough versus what's too much. 💡 Key Takeaways: ✨ Just like in human health, addressing the root cause of an issue in the soil is more effective and sustainable than repeatedly treating the symptom. ✨ Traditional soil tests may not be giving you the full picture. A more holistic test can reveal your true limiting factors and prevent you from applying inputs that aren't providing a return on investment. ✨ Over-reliance on synthetic fertilizers can disrupt the natural soil microbiome, making your farm more dependent on inputs over time. ✨ Challenging "the way we've always done it" and being open to new methods is crucial for long-term soil health, resilience to weather events, and farm profitability. ✨ Taking one small, informed step—like getting a different kind of soil test—is the best way to begin the journey toward a healthier, more resilient farming operation. This episode of Beyond the Crops is brought to you by Beck's Hybrids. Built on faith, family, and a love for agriculture since 1937, Beck's is committed to helping farmers succeed for generations.

Episode 17 - A Conversation with Dr. Ryan Burkhart

Welcome to The Rural Well! *Sensitive content warning* In today’s powerful and heartfelt episode, hosts Bridget and Lauren dive into a conversation that blends the proud heritage of farming with the complexities of mental health. They sit down with Dr. Ryan Burkhart — a farm kid turned mental health leader — who shares his journey from rural Indiana to Colorado, where he now serves as Dean of Counseling at Colorado Christian University. Ryan opens up about choosing a path away from the family farm, his reflections on faith, resilience, the epidemic of loneliness, and how rural communities can build meaningful connections. Together, they explore how farming values shape compassion, community support, and personal growth — even amid life’s deepest challenges. The episode also highlights the inspiring work of the Travis Burkhart Foundation, created by Ryan’s family after his brother Travis survived a life-altering brain injury. Their story of turning personal tragedy into community support is one of resilience, faith, and hope. This candid, thoughtful conversation reminds us all: while rural life has its hardships, it also holds deep strength, connection, and purpose. - https://www.travisburkhartfoundation.com/ - https://www.ccu.edu/spotlights/faculty/rburkhart/ Links and Resources: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.nfmha.ca/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - National Farmer Mental Health Alliance ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.lilaclanemedia.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Lilac Lane Media Facebook -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/theruralwell⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/theruralwell⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/theruralwell⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@theruralwell⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Email: info [at] theruralwell.com

Brad reviews recent research from Michigan State University suggesting producers may be overpaying by $40–$75 per head based on expected returns. Despite the volatility, beef-on-dairy is here to stay, now making up 15–20% of U.S. beef supply. Key takeaway: Know your cost of production. It’s the foundation for making smart, profitable decisions in this fast-changing market. Stay tuned for more workshops and research updates from the Minnesota Beef and Dairy Extension team.

Hedge Smarter, Not Harder: How SimpleHedge Helps Farmers Protect Profits

We sit down with Mark, the founder of SimpleHedge, to discuss how his platform is changing the way farmers manage price risk. After building a successful career in the tech world—working at Meta and McKinsey—Mark turned his attention to agriculture, recognizing a gap in farmer-accessible risk management tools. Mark explains that while hedging is essential for protecting farm revenue, it’s long been confusing, expensive, and out of reach for most producers. SimpleHedge aims to fix that, providing a platform that delivers clear recommendations, personalized strategies, and confidence—without requiring a background in trading. He walks us through how the platform works, how it pulls and analyzes market data, and how it customizes strategies based on a user’s unique operation. We also cover farmer concerns around safety and control—highlighting how SimpleHedge provides guided recommendations, not hands-off execution, and how users can get started without connecting sensitive accounts. Throughout the episode, Mark shares real-world success stories, ROI examples, and where the future of tech-enabled farm risk management is headed. Whether you're a seasoned marketer or just getting started with options and futures, this conversation demystifies a topic that can make or break a year’s profit.
