E27: Minimizing Your Farm's Risk of Ruin Apr 22, 2020

Show notes

In today's episode, Nick talks about a free tool that we have at Harvest Profit that allows you to stress test your farm's profitability.

We're going to be adding tools to this feature that will assign probabilities to each cell in the matrix. This will allow you to objectively analyze the probability of certain profit outcomes. The goal of this is to minimize your farm's "risk of ruin".

E26: The Importance of Overhead on Your Farm Apr 03, 2020

Show notes

In today's episode, we talk about how you and your farm should be in a position to analyze different scenarios and their ability to cover your farm's overhead.

Being able to do this type of analysis quickly throughout the year is a key system/trait of a long-term profitable farm. You need to have the visibility into the financial side of your farm to be able to make confident, proactive decisions.

This type of analysis can be done via a spreadsheet or a tool like Harvest Profit. We recently added a scenario analysis tool to make this type of analysis a breeze! If you'd like to see if the software is a fit for your farm, you can sign up for a 14-day free trial on our website -> https://www.harvestprofit.com/

E25: Thoughts on Tillable Feb 28, 2020

Show notes

Given the recent social media uproar regarding the startup Tillable, we wanted to share our thoughts on the topic.

These thoughts aren't exclusive to Tillable given that there will always be companies trying to disrupt your relationships with your landlords.

- Adding/removing farms
- Adding/removing payments

E20: A Week of Greeks - Theta & Rho Dec 20, 2019
