How does this happen? Do you have an example of this? And then when do people realize, "Hey, there's a problem"?

Chris BarronGUEST
We've seen this, you know, obviously I, the majority of the work we do with our clients at AgView Solutions and, and Farm Profit Managers is around the idea of financials and transition and team health, and those are the areas.

Chris BarronGUEST
But, you know, it's, it's usually an economic thing that creates the most stress [clears throat] because if you, for example, have a leadership team of four people, and they can be related or not related, if they're related, that creates a whole nother layer of, of challenges because you have all the emotion in it.

And to me, one of the core, uh, additions to my business that has really helped me out has been having somebody coordinate how ideas and people come together, timelines.

Chris BarronGUEST
What I am going to tell you is... is that we all deal with a lot of the same challenges in the sense that we need land to farm.

Chris BarronGUEST
And one of them is purchase, one of them is rent, one of them is collaborations, working with other operations and spreading your capital over more acres in that way.

But that mindset prison that prevails, it seems to me on return to management, because any other business, if I had, and I always use the example by an overhead garage door company here in Indiana, uh, I would probably be better about making sure that the $2 million of investment I had in warehouse, trucks, installation equipment, inventory, whatever, I would look at that every day and say, what am I getting off of this? But it seems like that's where we drop the ball and pull the farmer math routine, right? And if that's the case, how do we fix it?
