• The morning routine is something that's developed over time, and it's always evolving. For what it's worth, here's mine. I get up fairly early because I need to finalise the day's newsletter and have it ready by the 5 am deadline. For some reason, we don't finalise it the night before, as we have things we need to add in the morning, and we seem to operate better in the AM hours. I will drink about a litre of sparkling water in the lead-up to the 5 am deadline. As soon as we hit send at 5 am, we are then onto the next day's edition. I fluff around, going through my usual snippet-grabbing websites, newsletters, and social media spots, just reading and screenshotting anything I think might be of interest to our subscribers. Around 6 am, I grab my first coffee, start reading the digital version of the newspapers, and spend about an hour catching up on all the news, whilst grabbing anything I think might be of interest. Then the 2nd coffee. About 7:30, I hook the earpods in, select a podcast, and do a run (more of a shuffle) on the treadmill for half an hour. Then back to the office, check through emails, reply to any repliers, and it's off to the shower, ready to start the 2nd stage of the working day. What's one standout in your morning routine?

• Latest articles include:

• We talk a lot about oversupplied and undersupplied markets. One famous Ag entrepreneur always made sure his industry was undersupplied. This is a great story.

• My mate bought Don Bradman's Sigma many years ago. It's an interesting story as to what happened to it

• We interviewed Ben McEvoy, an ex-AFL footballer, in one of our podcasts. He explained to us that the penny dropped for him about 8 or 9 years into his career, and he started hearing and understanding things differently.

• Most Farmers underpay themselves; it was probably worse 20 or 30 years ago. But underpaying yourself has its own set of problems. We explain.

• I heard something the other day where someone said we all should think of ourselves as the CEO of us. What I mean there is you be the CEO of you. It could lead to a dramatic shift in mindset.

• I picked up on something yesterday. When we don't feel safe about something, the subject tends to consume our brains. You might not be feeling safe about Fuel ore Fertliser reserves right now. It's a pattern, and we can prove why.

• There has been a lot of hoarding of things like fuel and Fertiliser this week. It's been Farmers toilet paper moment.

• The Trucking Association of Australia has been calling on the government to hold at least 90 days of fuel on land for years now. It's been falling on deaf ears, and they aren't happy.

• When production meets price. We have all had those moments in Farming where the planets align. We have a couple of great examples.

• Have a great Saturday, and subscribe to stay fully informed.
