SUMMARY:Staying Ahead of the Curve
DESCRIPTION:As Dorothy so elegantly put it\, “Toto\, I’ve a feeling we are not in Kansas anymore.” \nThe days of pitchforks and overalls are gone; in its place\, we now have consolidation and multi-million-dollar risk. So\, how does a next-generation farmer stay ahead of the curve and out of the line of fire? Join the leadership at Maverick Ag as we break down how to monitor the finances to manage the risk. We will dive into the financial key performance indicators that every farm must know and how they directly affect expansion and capital investment on farms today\, as well as how you can remain progressive in a high-risk environment. \nThe last generation made a large portion of their wealth in land; the next generation must do the same with operations\, going back to the roots of production agriculture: growing grain. \nSpeaker Bio \nEvan Shout is the president and co-founder of Maverick Ag\, an agriculture and insurance consulting firm in Western Canada. He also sits as Chief Financial Officer at Hebert Grain Ventures\, a 40\,000-acre grain and oilseed operation in Southeast Saskatchewan\, and lead coach and co-founder at Farmer Coach\, a coaching program for primary producers in both Canada and the U.S. You can also catch him as host of The Truth About Ag Podcast that is available on the Real Agriculture Media Network. \nREGISTER TODAY

However\, even though 2025 may have not been straight forward for crop management\, it did provide new learning opportunities to plan for 2026. \n11 a.m. – Geopolitics: What Lies Ahead?\nJacob Shapiro\, Perch Perspectives LLC \nThis past year was tough for many farmers—higher input costs\, shaky U.S. trade policies and low crop prices all hit at once. While it might feel like just another cycle\, big changes are happening in agriculture. Global trade is shifting\, and food is becoming a key part of national security for many countries. These changes bring challenges\, but also new opportunities. Join Jacob as he breaks down what these global trends mean for Manitoba farmers and how to stay ahead. \nThe full show schedule is available here.
