  • Great content that will make me money.

    Love this podcast. Not too long either. Good short highly educational content. I’m definitely looking into this company more. I love grazing my cattle and adjusting my business to be more profitable. This podcast is the one to listen to. Keep up the good work!

  • Builders users and losers

    Just listened to this weeks podcast and it brought up this old saying I’ve known for years where the Ranch passed on assets But never passed on the knowledge to operate this usually happens

    When the builder generation never really relinquished any management or decision making ability to the user generation this is what sets up the loser generation that has no management ability from the previous generation

    Period..

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pete Ferrell — Five Generations and a Ranch Worth Fighting For [Ranchonomics Stories Ep 6]
Q: What year did your dad die and how did that affect your finances and debt?
His dad died in 1980; the era featured high interest rates and estate tax considerations. Pete explains leveraging life insurance cash value to bridge the 1980s cash flow crunch and how learning to manage finances changed his approach.
Pete Ferrell — Five Generations and a Ranch Worth Fighting For [Ranchonomics Stories Ep 6]
Q: Pete, why don't you give us a quick introduction of yourself and rewind to the beginning?
Pete Ferrell introduces himself as the former manager of the Ferrell Ranch, recounts the family's 1888 connection, and describes a lifetime of learning, from early optimism through tough times to adopting new business practices and succession plans.
105. From Row Crops to Forage Crops: A New Way to Think About Your Acres with Amos Troester
Q: What's the value of cover cropping? Why does it work in Northern Iowa, and what are the opportunities and risks?
Cover crops bring soil health benefits, reduce erosion, improve water holding capacity, and create a flexible feed and biomass resource. The opportunities include grazing revenue and reduced fertilizer usage; risks involve management complexity, timing, and the need to tailor species to the land and livestock needs.
Ben Habig — 45 Goats, a Rented Duplex, and a Business Nobody Else Was Building [Ranchonomics Stories Ep 4]
Q: How did you navigate the move to Montana and what prompted the shift in business focus?
The shift came from seeking scale and security beyond a single operator; moving to Montana enabled a more scalable model with labor, contracts, and a focus on prescriptive grazing rather than relying solely on a single herd.
Ben Habig — 45 Goats, a Rented Duplex, and a Business Nobody Else Was Building [Ranchonomics Stories Ep 4]
Q: What were some of the hardest parts in those early days and how did you overcome them?
The biggest struggles were learning to efficiently use electric fencing, converting a garage-to-goat operation into a managed system, and funding growth through lines of credit, all while keeping focus on long-term goals.
