Do you agree?
There are benefits to growing your team and scaling your farm (and we’ll talk more about that in a minute.) But there are also other options that could be just as prof...
Between Greg and I, we’ve been working with farmers for 50 years.
And during that time, we’ve noticed a really troubling trend:
