What if we've been looking at farmer suicide risk from the wrong perspective? In this episode of The Impact Farming Show, host Tracy sits down with Lanie Doerr, a licensed professional counselor, to discuss her book Farmers are People: A Revolutionary Insight into Farmer Suicide Risk. Lanie challenges the widely held belief that farmers have fundamentally different psychological risk factors than the general population. She argues that while the business pressures of farming - extreme weather, high land prices, low grain prices and other financial challenges - can create tremendous stress, it is the resulting personal problems and psychological factors that need to be better understood when we talk about depression and suicide. Drawing on both her experience as a farmer and her professional background as a mental health therapist, Lanie offers a different way of thinking about farmer mental health—and, importantly, a message of hope for farmers, ranchers and their families.  In This Episode • Why Lanie believes farmers are people first when it comes to understanding mental health and suicide risk • What she believes the agriculture industry has gotten wrong about farmer suicide • The difference between business problems and personal problems • How financial, weather and farm business pressures can ultimately affect a person's mental health • Why farmers may be reluctant to talk about personal struggles • The psychological factors that can contribute to depression and suicide risk • Why the traditional conversation around farmer mental health may need to change • How family members and friends can recognize when someone may be struggling • The connection between the farmer mindset of independence and asking for help • Why Lanie believes this different perspective can open the door to more effective strategies for improving farmer health • A message of hope for farmers and farm families who may be struggling  For years, we've talked about farmer mental health through the lens of stressors unique to agriculture. But what if that focus is actually preventing us from seeing the bigger picture? Lanie Doerr's work challenges us to rethink how we understand farmer suicide risk and to look beyond the farm business itself to the person sitting behind the desk, driving the tractor or sitting at the kitchen table. Her perspective suggests that farming's business challenges can contribute to the same personal struggles that affect people across society—and that recognizing this could open the door to more effective ways of preventing depression and suicide.  This is an important conversation for every farmer, farm family and agricultural professional. Listen to the full episode, share it with someone in your farming community, and help start a different conversation about farmer mental health. Thanks for tuning in, Tracy ………………..

What happens when a farm family has ten children and the future of the farm needs to be decided? In this episode of The Impact Farming Show, we go inside one family's real-life succession planning journey with Nathan, the eldest of ten siblings, and Derryn Shrosbree of Farmstrong. With multiple family members, different ideas about the future, and the difficult realities of land, money, inheritance and who will continue farming, succession planning can become complicated quickly. Nathan shares what the process was actually like for his family including the challenges, the assumptions they had going in, and the conversations that needed to happen. Derryn brings his perspective as the advisor who helped guide the family through the process, explaining why succession conversations can be so difficult, how families can work through competing ideas of what is "fair," and why having an independent third party involved can make such a difference. Most importantly, this episode explores what can happen when a family chooses to have these conversations before a crisis forces them to. In This Episode • Nathan's perspective as the eldest of ten siblings • How many family members are currently farming and who wants to farm in the future • What prompted the family to begin talking about succession • The biggest challenges the family faced during the process • Concerns about creating tension by discussing money, land and inheritance • How the family created space for everyone's voice to be heard • Why "fair" doesn't always mean "equal" when it comes to succession • Assumptions family members had about their parents' and siblings' wishes • The role Derryn and Farmstrong played in guiding the family • What could have happened if the family had continued putting succession planning off • How having a plan has changed the way the family talks about the future • Advice for farming families who keep saying, "We'll deal with succession someday." Don't Wait Until You Have To For many farm families, succession planning stays on the "someday" list because the conversations feel uncomfortable, complicated or overwhelming. But avoiding the conversation doesn't make the decisions go away. It simply leaves them for another day, often when circumstances are much more difficult. As Nathan's story demonstrates, getting the process started can bring clarity to things that family members may have been assuming, wondering about or avoiding for years. And having the right advisor at the table can help families have conversations they might struggle to have on their own. If your family hasn't started talking about succession, don't wait for a crisis to force the conversation. Start with one conversation, get the right people around the table, and begin building a plan for the future.

What does the military teach us about resilience, and what can farmers learn from those lessons? In this episode of The Impact Farming Show, Tracy sits down with fourth generation rancher and Kansas Army National Guard officer John Sachse to explore the powerful connection between military service, farming, leadership and resilience. John has experienced the pressures of agriculture firsthand, while his military experience has given him another perspective on adversity, stress, discipline and mental toughness. Those experiences ultimately led him to develop his work around resiliency and write his e-book, Built in the Dirt: The Resiliency Playbook. John shares how the challenges we face can shape us, why resilience is about more than simply "toughing it out," and how farmers can develop the mindset and habits needed to navigate difficult seasons, both on the farm and in life. In This Episode: - How John's experience in the Army has shaped the way he approaches farming, leadership and life - The similarities between the pressures faced by farmers and those experienced in the military - Why resilience is such an important skill for farmers and ranchers - The difference between being mentally tough and simply bottling things up - How to make better decisions and stay grounded when you're under pressure - The inspiration behind John's e-book, Built in the Dirt: The Resiliency Playbook - Practical strategies from the book that farmers can use to build greater resilience - The one lesson John hopes every farmer takes away from Built in the Dirt Don't Just Get Through the Hard Seasons. Build the Resilience to Grow Through Them. Farming will always come with uncertainty, pressure and things that are completely outside of our control. We can't eliminate adversity, but we can change how we respond to it. If you've ever felt the weight of the farm, family, business or life itself, this conversation with John Sachse is one you won't want to miss. His unique perspective as both a farmer and Army officer offers practical insight into developing the mindset, habits and resilience needed to keep moving forward when things get difficult.

Farm succession isn't just about transferring land, equipment, or ownership—it's about preserving relationships while building a future that works for everyone involved. In this episode of The Impact Farming Show, we're joined by Derryn Shrosbree and Sarah Stamp to explore one of the most overlooked aspects of farm transition: the people. From communication breakdowns and family dynamics to preparing senior generations for the next chapter, this conversation dives into why successful succession planning is just as much about emotional intelligence as it is about legal documents and financial plans. Whether your family has already started succession conversations or continues to avoid them, this episode offers practical insights to help families move forward together. Episode Overview In this episode, you'll learn: • Why keeping families "at the table" is the foundation of successful farm transitions. • Lessons Sarah learned through her own family's succession journey. • Why people—not finances or legal structures—are often the biggest challenge in succession planning. • The importance of including non-farming family members in transition conversations. • Why families often communicate more poorly with one another than they do with business partners. • The unique emotional challenges senior generations face when stepping back from the farm. • How the DISC personality framework can improve communication and reduce conflict. • What healthy farm family cultures have in common. • Why pretending everything is "fine" can delay meaningful progress. • Practical first steps for families who have been avoiding difficult succession conversations. • The critical difference between transferring farm assets and successfully transitioning a family. If this conversation resonated with you, now is the time to begin the discussions that matter most. Farm transition doesn't happen overnight, and the strongest succession plans are built through open communication, mutual understanding, and a shared vision for the future. If you found value in today's episode, please subscribe to The Impact Farming Show, leave us a review, and share this episode with a family member, business partner, or fellow farmer who could benefit from these insights.  Together, we can help build stronger farms, stronger businesses, and stronger farm families.

What if the biggest obstacle to successful farm succession isn't taxes, legal documents, or ownership structures—but leadership? In this episode of The Impact Farming Show, Tracy sits down with Joe Bitz, Farm Business Advisor with MNP, to explore a fresh perspective on succession planning that every farm family needs to hear. Drawing from eight years of leadership experience in the Canadian Forces and his work helping farm families navigate transition, Joe shares how military planning principles can transform the way families approach succession. Episode Highlights • Joe's journey from the Canadian Forces to helping farm families with succession planning • Why succession planning is fundamentally a leadership challenge—not just a legal or financial one • The military leadership lessons that apply directly to family farms • Understanding the "Conditions Check" and how it helps families prepare for success • Joe's Inverted Triangle Model: Why planning comes before execution • Why people—not assets—should be the starting point for every succession plan • The importance of understanding personalities, motivations, and communication styles • The Observation → Deduction → Action framework for turning conversations into progress • Why first-generation farms operate like tennis while multi-generational farms become basketball • Common planning mistakes farm families make—and how to avoid them • The first three conversations every farm family should have to begin succession planning Succession planning isn't simply about transferring land, equipment, or ownership—it's about preparing people to lead together. As Joe reminds us throughout this conversation, the strongest succession plans are built on trust, communication, shared understanding, and intentional leadership long before legal documents are signed.

#familyfarm #ranching #farmtok  The Future Won't Wait: Building Stronger Farm Transitions This Summer When farm families think about succession planning, they often assume it's a conversation for the off-season. But what if summer is actually the best time to start? In this episode of The Impact Farming Show, Tracy sits down with farm succession expert Derryn Shrosbree to discuss why the busiest season on the farm may also be the most valuable season for planning the future. From meaningful conversations in the cab of a tractor to observing the next generation in action, Derryn shares practical insights that can help farm families build stronger transitions, reduce conflict, and create a clear path forward.

In this episode of Impact Farming, Tracy sits down with agricultural economist and strategist Michelle Klieger to unpack a question many producers are quietly asking: Can U.S. soybeans still compete in the global market? As farmers head into another planting season facing tight margins, uncertain demand, and rising costs, the global soybean market continues to shift. From China's buying decisions to the growing influence of Brazil, the competitive landscape is changing rapidly. Michelle shares insights from her recent article on the "Brazil Factor" and explores what's really driving global soybean competitiveness—and what it means for producers in North America. Episode Highlights • Why global demand—especially from China—remains a key driver for soybean markets • How geopolitics and trade negotiations are affecting farm families and rural economies • The rise of Brazil as a global agricultural powerhouse • The role of land costs, seed pricing, and regulation in shaping global competitiveness • How Brazil's ability to expand farmland and double crop gives it an edge • Why U.S. farmers may need a different strategy to stay competitive • Key signals producers should watch as global soybean markets evolve Global agriculture is evolving quickly, and the soybean market is a powerful example of how economics, geopolitics, and innovation intersect. As Brazil continues to expand production and global trade dynamics shift, producers in North America face new challenges—but also opportunities. Understanding the forces shaping global markets can help farmers make informed decisions and remain competitive in a rapidly changing agricultural landscape.

Farm succession planning is one of the most important – and often most delayed – conversations on family farms. While Canadian agriculture is built on family ownership, the majority of farms still do not have a clear succession plan in place. In this episode of The Impact Farming Show, Tracy sits down with Derryn Shrosbree to talk about why succession planning so often stalls and what farm families can do to move forward with confidence. After years of helping farmers navigate complex succession planning through 33seven, Derryn saw firsthand how overwhelming and fragmented the process can become. That experience led him to launch Farmstrong, a new approach designed to simplify the process and bring all the moving pieces together in one integrated solution. If succession planning has been sitting on your farm's "someday" list, this conversation will help you understand why the process feels so complicated—and how it can become much more manageable.

Farm succession is one of the most important conversations happening in agriculture today. Across North America, many farm families hope the farm will continue into the next generation, yet a large percentage of operations still do not have a clear transition plan in place. In this solo episode, Tracy dives into insights gathered from conversations with farm advisors, succession planners, and agricultural thought leaders featured on the show. While every farm and family is unique, there are common patterns that experts consistently see when succession planning goes wrong. The good news is that many of these challenges are avoidable once farm families understand what to watch for and begin having the right conversations early. In this episode, I share ten of the most common mistakes farm families make when planning for the future of their operation and what producers can start thinking about today to set their farm and family up for long-term success. In this episode you will learn about: • Why waiting too long to start succession conversations can create unnecessary pressure and conflict • The importance of asking the next generation if they truly want to farm instead of making assumptions • Why treating the farm like a business during transition is critical for long-term sustainability • The challenge of parents holding onto control too long and how it can stall the next generation • Why avoiding difficult family conversations often leads to bigger issues later • The risks that come from a lack of financial transparency within the family • How outside advisors can bring clarity and structure to the succession process • The difference between treating children equally versus treating them fairly • Why tax and estate planning should start much earlier than most families expect • The importance of preparing the next generation for leadership, not just ownership Key takeaway Succession planning is not a single event. It is a process that unfolds over years of communication, planning, and gradual transition. The earlier farm families start these conversations, the more options they have and the smoother the transition can be. By understanding the common mistakes many farm families make, producers can take proactive steps to protect their legacy and help ensure the farm continues for future generations.

Canada is facing a quiet but urgent agricultural crisis. Nearly 3,000 family farms disappear every year — not because families want to leave farming, but because outdated inheritance rules are forcing impossible financial decisions. In this episode, Tracy sits down with Derryn Shrosbree, founder of 33seven and a national expert in farm succession and estate equalization, to unpack how current tax laws prevent many farmers from passing their land to nieces and nephews without triggering massive tax burdens. With the average Canadian farmer now 56 years old and fewer than 1 in 12 farms having a successor under 40, the future of family agriculture is at risk. This conversation explores what's happening behind the scenes, the real human cost to families, and what policy reform could mean for the next generation of Canadian farming. This isn't just a farm issue — it's about food security, rural communities, and protecting a cornerstone of Canada's economy. Highlights - Why nearly 3,000 Canadian family farms disappear every year - How outdated inheritance rules trigger crippling tax bills - The unfair gap affecting nieces and nephews working family farms - The aging farming population and succession crisis - The risk of farmland consolidation and foreign ownership - Economic impacts on rural communities and Canadian food security - Real stories from the front lines of farm succession planning - Practical steps families can take right now - What reform to the Income Tax Act could change - A vision for the future of intergenerational farming in Canada If this episode resonates with you, share it with a farming family, policymaker, or community leader.
