I'm Certainly Not One of Those Farmers Happy to Take a 3% Return - Stafford Ives-Heres (Rabobank Partner Ep)
Q: What was the turning point that led you to focus more on the beef operation and growth?

Tom & Mick: Livestock, Markets and the Power of Relationships with Michael Spencer
Q: How has the agency landscape changed over the years, and what does good service look like now?
Service remains rooted in drafting and delivering cattle to market, with a focus on relationship-building across all levels of client organizations, and a pragmatic, highly accountable approach to decisions.
