Wondering what’s everyone’s thoughts on using a Mahindra roxor for crop scouting. I know they are heavier than a side by side but would people be against using one of these units vs say a side by side?

Hi OYF I trust this finds you well. We at 33seven do 1 farm transition a month. You will more than likely do 1 or maybe 2 farm transitions in your lifetime. Doing 1 continuity plan a month gives us a unique insight into the pain points that farmers experience. Being a farmer myself, I have gone through the pain of invoice fatigue. The reason most farmers fail when it comes to continuity planning is that there is no clarity and control. It is just too confusing and this causes the process to grind to a halt. You are not alone. This happens to most of us involved in agriculture. Accountants invoice, lawyers invoice, insurance agents add complexity and financiers charge fees. It is never ending. We just pay and pay and pay and do not get what we want. What I want is clarity and control. What I want is my family to be safe and my legacy to be secure. I want to pay less tax and reduce my risk. Do you want the same thing? Based on my painful experience of being invoiced nearly to death with little to no results, I have set up a Blue Sky continuity plan for Canadian farmers. My mission in life is to protect Canadian farmers. I am a Canadian farmer. Let us start with eliminating invoice fatigue and giving you clarity and control. Finally a farmer who understands and has been through the continuity process. What we do for farmers: 1. How much is your farm and business worth? 2. Would you like to know if you are leaving behind a legacy or a liability? 3. Who is in the tent with you? 4. Who gets what when you die? 5. How much personal income tax do you want to pay in April ? 6. What does the senior generation on the farm deserve to get? 7. Would you like to have 12 harvests a year for the rest of your life? Above are the most important questions farmer need to address to accomplish farm continuity planning. Let’s get all these questions answered with zero invoicing. Yes. You read that correctly: Zero invoicing. 33seven is a one stop shop for continuity planning with zero invoicing. I know, it sounds too good to be true. It is not. Ask a Farmer Who Knows Now that you know what is possible it is time for you to make a decision. Keep getting invoiced or choose clarity and control with zero invoicing.

Who went on the Farm Cruise this last week? It was the farmer vacation of a lifetime! 😃 I hear there is a group on here for those attendees and would love to connect. They are doing pre sale deals to get on the cruise ship for next time. Galveston to Cozumel Jan 29-Feb 2 2026. www.farmcruise.com - It was so fun and can’t wait to go again, with even more farmers next year.

Harvest Equipment
I took my combine into the dealer to do a inspection. I'm still making payments on this piece of machinery and they are saying the parts it needs could be $15,000+. Of course I don't have to do all of the needed maintenance, but the machine is a 2012. I still have three years left of payments. There's an opportunity to buy a five-year-old machine that would raise my payments 8,000 a year. I'm wondering if it would be wiser to fix my machine and get it paid off or to go ahead and upgrade to a newer machine and stomach the higher payments? The machine I'm looking to trade has 900 hrs on it and mine has about 2500.

I’m a small(ish) farmer that grows about 600 acres, mainly small grains and feed for our local Wisconsin dairy industry. I don’t have dairy cattle nor have the interest at this time. For those farmers that have grown significantly by taking on large tracts of land, how did you do it? I’m particularly interested in how farmers have developed relationships with other farmers that are nearing retirement and were looking for a succession plan? What kinds of things were those farmers looking for? For example: someone that was going to take good care of the land, an opportunity for the existing farmer to still help when they wanted to, anything else, or was it only price? My goal is to develop a deeper relationship with two farmers approaching retirement who are looking at succession opportunities and I’m looking at how people have been creative to help develop and execute a solution in that space. Thanks!

Does anyone have an opinion on Outback Guidance systems? I have the opportunity to become a dealer and after seeing a presentation their systems to to be fairly simple to operate and priced well below most of their competitors, but also have a few less options.

Hi all It has been a productive week. We have chatted to numerous folks this week and the three main themes thus far have been: 1.) Business and farm valuation. 2.) Why do you do an estate freeze? 3.) The Farm Liquidity Solution. Would any of you like additional information on the above topics?

25 years ago when we first started using Invigor seed it was recommended to tank mix a group one with Liberty to sharpen grass weed control. It was said then that tank mixing group 10 and 1 would not increase the risk of group resistant wild oats. Is that still the case today?
