• The Farmers Club advantage - We did a podcast with former AFL Footballer, come Farmer, Ben McEvoy, the other day, and he is a first-generation Farmer who has had to learn the ropes. He said he has gathered his knowledge from wherever he can, and his learning is ongoing, and subscribing to The Farmers Club is a part of that. So the questions to you are: Have you stopped learning? Have you stopped looking for ideas on how to grow or get better? Because if learning or searching for ideas is not on your radar, you might be falling behind (see the image below). Why? Because others are getting on with the caper and implementing change. With the newsletter, you won’t realise the extra knowledge you are gaining until about a month later. We call it The Farmers Club advantage. Lock in and don’t look back.

• The stories we have covered since Saturday include:

• Business idea 1 - How one organisation organised a Conola Walk and got 20,000 through the gate at $10 a pop.

• Business idea 2 - This story covers the guy who thought up the arrow on the fuel gauge to tell us which side to fill with fuel. Boy, he has saved us some time.

• Business idea 3 - This one is about timing. Refurbishing Farm Machinery. One company is doing it well, and now is the time.

• Business idea 4 - This is a self-serving butchery that has taken off.

• We are now facing a Shearing problem as opposed to a Shearer problem.

• We now have a new relationship with meat fat. There’s less trimming these days, and we explain why this has changed.

• We did a fantastic podcast with Ben McEvoy, who played 252 AFL games and is now a first generation Farmer making a fist of it.

• We just listened to another info-packed podcast featuring Simon Quilty, and we explain why it’s a must-listen.

• Why do Farmers buy white Utes? We unpack the reasons why.

• Have a great Wednesday, and remember to subscribe to keep yourself informed.
