The Brazil Factor: What It Means for U.S. Soybeans and Global Competition | Michelle Klieger
3w ago01:06:23Tap to summarizeIn this episode of Impact Farming, Tracy sits down with agricultural economist and strategist Michelle Klieger to unpack a question many producers are quietly asking: Can U.S. soybeans still compete in the global market? As farmers head into another planting season facing tight margins, uncertain demand, and rising costs, the global soybean market continues to shift. From China's buying decisions to the growing influence of Brazil, the competitive landscape is changing rapidly. Michelle shares insights from her recent article on the "Brazil Factor" and explores what's really driving global soybean competitiveness—and what it means for producers in North America. Episode Highlights • Why global demand—especially from China—remains a key driver for soybean markets • How geopolitics and trade negotiations are affecting farm families and rural economies • The rise of Brazil as a global agricultural powerhouse • The role of land costs, seed pricing, and regulation in shaping global competitiveness • How Brazil's ability to expand farmland and double crop gives it an edge • Why U.S. farmers may need a different strategy to stay competitive • Key signals producers should watch as global soybean markets evolve Global agriculture is evolving quickly, and the soybean market is a powerful example of how economics, geopolitics, and innovation intersect. As Brazil continues to expand production and global trade dynamics shift, producers in North America face new challenges—but also opportunities. Understanding the forces shaping global markets can help farmers make informed decisions and remain competitive in a rapidly changing agricultural landscape.

Simplifying Farm Succession: A New Approach for Canadian Farm Families with Derryn Shrosbree
Apr 2400:44:18Tap to summarizeFarm succession planning is one of the most important – and often most delayed – conversations on family farms. While Canadian agriculture is built on family ownership, the majority of farms still do not have a clear succession plan in place.

10 Mistakes Farm Families Make in Succession Planning with Tracy Brunet | The Impact Farming Show
Apr 2200:36:42Tap to summarizeFarm succession is one of the most important conversations happening in agriculture today. Across North America, many farm families hope the farm will continue into the next generation, yet a large percentage of operations still do not have a clear transition plan in place. In this solo episode, Tracy dives into insights gathered from conversations with farm advisors, succession planners, and agricultural thought leaders featured on the show. While every farm and family is unique, there are common patterns that experts consistently see when succession planning goes wrong. The good news is that many of these challenges are avoidable once farm families understand what to watch for and begin having the right conversations early. In this episode, I share ten of the most common mistakes farm families make when planning for the future of their operation and what producers can start thinking about today to set their farm and family up for long-term success. In this episode you will learn about: • Why waiting too long to start succession conversations can create unnecessary pressure and conflict • The importance of asking the next generation if they truly want to farm instead of making assumptions • Why treating the farm like a business during transition is critical for long-term sustainability • The challenge of parents holding onto control too long and how it can stall the next generation • Why avoiding difficult family conversations often leads to bigger issues later • The risks that come from a lack of financial transparency within the family • How outside advisors can bring clarity and structure to the succession process • The difference between treating children equally versus treating them fairly • Why tax and estate planning should start much earlier than most families expect • The importance of preparing the next generation for leadership, not just ownership Key takeaway Succession planning is not a single event. It is a process that unfolds over years of communication, planning, and gradual transition. The earlier farm families start these conversations, the more options they have and the smoother the transition can be. By understanding the common mistakes many farm families make, producers can take proactive steps to protect their legacy and help ensure the farm continues for future generations.
