S8E24 An Operating System Built for You
Dan opens in the water off Koh Lanta, Thailand. The science: a 133-foot tsunami wave registers as zero in deep water. Depth neutralizes force before it ever arrives. The wave only becomes a wave when…

S8E22 Before You Spray: 3 Things That Could Cost You Money This Season

S8E20 Who Has the Export Data?
Dan opens with a Call of Duty analogy that lands: you keep getting smoked because they can see you, but you cannot see them. That is the position of a Canadian canola or wheat farmer every time they…
S8E19 Driving the Transition Train The Farmland Exit

S8E21 AI Farm Episode 2
The format is a pitch competition. Three operators come in cold, each shows the room exactly what they have built, and the audience votes. No PowerPoints about what AI could do. No vendor demos. Just…
S8E18 Driving the Transition Train: The Farmland Exit
The scale of what's at stake opens this conversation. A premium quarter in Saskatchewan now trades north of a million dollars. Across Canada, $50 billion in farm assets needs to transfer hands in the…

S8E15 The Land Market Split

S8E13 Build Your AG Dream Team: Why the strongest operations never go it alone
Somewhere on the prairies, there's a producer trying to do it all. The agronomy. The marketing. The books. The succession. The banking. The strategy. And they're wearing every hat at once — running…

S8E9 Double Protection Options + Production Insurance
Canola ran hard. The question wasn't whether to celebrate — it was whether to protect what you'd built. This session came out of a real conversation with a GARS advisor who pointed out something most…
