Greg's 12 Farm Wishes for 2026

15/5/2026

0 Comments

 
Many of you do these already, but I feel like there is still room for improvement including our own farm!
  • Write down your plans and goals 
  • Add complexity to your farm to spread risk:
    •  2 varieties of a crop type
    • An additional crop type 
    • Fall crops
    • Crops sold to unique markets different from your main markets
      • feed vs export
      • malt vs feed
      • specialty vs commodity
      • Using AOG contracts where offered (this year may not be as attractive vs the past few years)
    • Seed some earlier
  • Bounce ideas off of more people, and people not in your circle of friends
  • Join a farm group of any kind (opened my mind)
  • Take a course (I probably need to take this advice:)
  • Update your first aid
  • Attend a community event you normally would not
  • Communicate more within your management team on planning and results
  • Make a budget
  • Evaluate last years decisions in writing
  • Do something about herbicide resistant weeds - residual herbicides, fall crops
    • Remember, nothing controls kochia and wild oats like a hybrid fall rye 😉
  • Start planning succession of your roll no matter your age
  • (bonus one)
    • Say thanks to the people you work with that you may forget to!
      • Thank you to all who ready this email, it usually takes me about 3-6 hours to write depending on the topics.

What's new with Greg for 2026:
  • LASIC vison - no more glasses!
  • No alcohol - but gout caught up to me and was impacting my skiing :)
  • Stretching  - I like this app called Bend , I guess I really am getting old (42)
  • 5 years ago I was doing seed sales and more and I was overwhelmed. Now my time is being taken up with seed business operations, meetings, business travel, trade shows, planning, presentations and marketing, and very few sales these days (thank you Blair). It's amazing how much behind the scenes work goes on at a seed business and thankful for the team we have!
