We study what the best Farmers do - Be more aggressive.
We have been to many Field Days over the years, and I shake my head when exhibitors sit in the back of the tent expecting people to come to them.
Don’t do that. Get out the front. Greet people. We are in Adelaide for LambEx, and I went into the Apple Store to get a new phone charger. Within 10 metres, 3 store staff greeted me. They weren’t holding back. I grabbed the charger, which was a 2m one, and the guy asked if I wanted it that long and gave me the metre-long one. He pulled out his phone, and I paid him on the spot. Gone in 5 minutes. Satisfied. The good Farmers aren’t sitting back waiting.
Our latest writings
Doing the Dorper thing in reverse - We profile a family that has gone from Merinos to Dorpers and back to Merinos again.
When you get great customer service from one of the biggest companies in the world.
How to get big in the Ag space is to help others get better. We profile one such company.
Our columnist Caleb Schultz talks about a big event in Alice Springs.
One of our subscribers suggested that the GRDC buy one of the big Chinese Tractors and start testing. Good idea, we said.
Another subscriber said we have been hoodwinked into spending so much money on Tractors when it should be the tech in the implements they pull that we need to invest in.
In light of finding great businesses that serve us through our “Good Guys Registry,” we thought we better define what a good and bad customer looks like.
Guest columnist Calbe Schwartz talks about how he has removed social media from his phone.
We are at LambEx today and tomorrow. If you are around, we have a display site in the trade centre. No 24 we are at.
We went back to the family Farm at Marnoo on the weekend, and boy, the gravel roads have got bad. Never seen them so bad. The shire must have sold all the Graders.
Guest columnist Michael Bagshaw wrote about how it’s time to stump up for some proper estate planning
Have a great Wednesday, and be more aggressive.
