    Show notes

    Welcome back to another exciting episode of the Farm4Profit Podcast! Today, we're diving into a unique and powerful educational resource that's transforming how farmers approach merchandising and risk management—Agris Academy. Joining us are the dynamic founders, Jeff Kazin and Mike Rohlfsen, who bring decades of experience in the grain trade and agricultural start-ups.

    In today's episode, we'll learn what sets Agris Academy apart from traditional broker advisory services and explore the journey that led to its creation. From building their master class to becoming "professors" of their trade, Jeff and Mike have plenty of insights to share. We'll discuss the common myths in the industry, the challenges, and rewards of teaching, and what farmers can gain from a deeper understanding of merchandising.

    We'll also get tactical—who stood out among Agris Academy's students in 2023, what it takes to market a crop when you're below the cost of production, and how to improve skills in an industry that's constantly evolving. Plus, we'll hear about Jeff's experience in hiring a CIA analyst for intelligence operations—yes, you heard that right!

    Jeff and Mike will also provide a glimpse into what Agris Academy offers, who the typical students are, and what changes are coming to their classes. Whether you're a farmer looking to sharpen your skills or an industry partner wanting to connect, this episode has something for everyone.

    So, let's jump in and discover how Agris Academy is helping farmers succeed in today's challenging agricultural landscape!

    Thank you. 5 stars

    This review is coming from a guy who has grown up in the inner city, Chicago specifically. Ironically, living in the city most of my life has fueled my desire for a more rural life and that’s led me to AG, and AG related podcasts. I love everything about the life and the information you gentlemen give us weekly. My eyes have really been opened. Keep up the excellent work.

    2. Can you share some examples of successful agritourism activities that utilize these non-ag acres?

    Full-Time Salary Potential:

    1. Does this have enough earning potential to support a full-time salary for another family member?
    2. What are some steps farmers can take to reach this level of success in agritourism?

    LandTrust Services:

    1. LandTrust provides a range of services like liability coverage, booking, and marketing. Can you explain how these services benefit farmers and simplify their involvement in agritourism?
    2. How does LandTrust ensure that landowners maintain complete control over their property while participating in agritourism activities?
    3. What are the key responsibilities of LandTrust in this partnership, and what can farmers expect from your team?

    Real-World Impact:

    1. Can you share some success stories of farmers who have partnered with LandTrust and seen significant benefits?
    2. What feedback have you received from farmers about the impact of agritourism on their overall business and community?

    2. What advice would you give to farmers who are considering venturing into agritourism but are unsure where to start?

    Closing:

    HISTORY OF IOWA CORN & THE SPEEDWAY (WHY NASCAR)

    25,000+ seats sold out for the race and 1000 farmers and their families present to watch their product in action on the fastest short-track in the nation surrounded by corn fields.

    A large, national audience excited about the power and performance of ethanol with 4.1 million unique viewers.

    Driving online traffic and increasing brand exposure with 7.6 million digital page views.

    If you divide Iowa’s 2023 corn crop by the race’s 350 laps, each time around the track would equate to 7 million bushels. Corn is a major economic engine for the state.

    Show notes

    What makes farmers or farming so great? – Summary Show

    Pure Enjoyment:

    12/21/23 – Thur – F4F – E251 (E344) “Just a Jackson Thing” plus cousins Brad and Becca (Jackson)

    Watching tractors rolling in the field with smoke, filling up with seeds all the way through corn and bean harvest.

    Blowing smoke, gettin’ er done. Let ’er eat!

    11/16/23 – Thur – F4F – E246 (E334) One Legged Mommy – Josie Wendel

    Love of the game! It doesn’t matter to a farmer if they’re winning or losing in a year, they’ll go right back out to plant again next spring. It’s in their blood…the Love of the ‘farming’ game!

    How do you think we can draw upon the enjoyment we all have in farming to entice or educate those that are outside of agriculture?

    Top Tier People:

    11/23/23 – Thur – F4F – E247 (E336) John Kowalshuk, Alberta, Canada

    It’s the people. There are so many awesome people to talk with and learn from. I’m proud to be a farmer.

    We are quality people.

    9/28/23 – Thur – F4F – E240 (E320) Tim Marks -Tractor Time with Tim – Super charged compact tractors FPS23

    The quality of the people in the ag industry is incredible.

    What is it that makes the people of agriculture such stand up people? Where did this originate?

    Quality of Life – Pride in Life Style:

    10/23/23 – Mon – F4P – E149 (E327) Digital Agriculture: Sowing the Seeds of Online Income – FPS23

    Natalie – It’s the lifestyle it provides. Farming/ranching is so integrated into our lifestyle. The pros outweigh the cons, for sure. The best people are in the farming industry.

    9/21/23 – Thur – F4F – E240 (E318) The Modern Day Farm Chick – Annaliese Wegner FPS23

    It’s the Lifestyle. It’s more than just a job. I get to work with family, be outside and have the kids grow up on the farm.

    Does this type of lifestyle make it better than other types? What are the benefits of the lifestyle? Detriments?

    Connection to Family:

    10/12/23 – Thur – F4F – E241 (E324) Tony Reed & Nick McCormick – Illinois icons

    Tony – It’s one big family. You can relate in so many areas/topics. It’s easy to talk to each other.

    10/9/23 – Mon – F4P – E147 (E323) Zach Johnson, Millennial Farmer FPS23 Reflection/summary show

    What do you enjoy most about farming or working with farmers?I love raising my kids on the farm.It’s the most rewarding of anything I do. Having them watch the cycle of life through crops and livestock and working hard.

    Do you think the connection to family is still as strong today as it was a generation or two ago?

    Always driving forward:

    9/11/23 – Mon – F4P – E143 (E315) Thinking ahead: The Key to Farm Success – Sukup, 3rd generation Emily Schmitt FPS23

    They are natural innovators and problem solvers. Farmers are the epitome of an innovator. They figure out how to make things work. When you meet them and get to know them, you have a natural common bond in farming. It’s easy to get to know them.

    11/2/23 – Thur – F4F – E244 (E330) Deeply Rooted in Technology - Brandon Hunnicutt Husker Harvest Days

    They have the same goals in mind, but everyone does it differently. You can see they do something differently. But different doesn’t mean it’s wrong. Learn from it. There is always something to learn.

    Is it innovation by necessity or innovation by nature? Can or does this show up in other types of professions?
