A good suburb. A beautiful house. A price you can afford. So what could you be missing? Scott McGeever joins Ben Law to discuss off-farm property investment, costly compromises and the value of knowing when to walk away.

A new structure. Signed paperwork. A family breathing easier. But how much of your farm succession planning is actually sorted? In this Mini Episode, Ben Law asks what’s hiding beneath the fresh coat of paint.

Family conflict doesn’t remain separate from the business. Tom Skotidas explains how entrenched patterns affect growth, relationships and succession—and why change can begin even when the whole family isn’t ready.

You might have the will, trusts and succession structures sorted. But if you died tomorrow, would your family actually know what you wanted them to do? Lisa Herbert joins Ben to talk about the human side of death, family farm succession planning and the conversations most families keep putting off.

Sometimes the dads working hardest for their family are the ones lying awake wondering whether they’re getting it all wrong.

In this short Father’s Day Mini Episode, Ben shares a very personal story about providing, parenting and what happens when you come home with nothing left in the tank.

Record supply usually means falling prices. This year it hasn’t — and the reason sits offshore, in the one market quietly setting the pace for every cattle producer in the country. Rabobank’s Angus Gidley-Baird reads the beef market demand most producers never get to see, and explains what’s really holding your price up.

Most farming families brace for succession like a storm to survive. Ben Law makes the case that it’s the grand final you’ve spent a lifetime training for — and reveals the quiet pattern that decides whether a family transition holds together or falls apart.

The wealthiest farming families aren’t kept wealthy by clever tax structures — they’re kept wealthy by the conversations most families avoid. Susanne Bransgrove of Mutual Trust joins Ben Law to reveal what real succession planning looks like, why “shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves” is misunderstood, and the two questions every family should ask before drafting a single document.

That damp patch near the trough. You saw it. You drove past it. Then one morning the trough was empty. Ben Law uses this moment — one every grazier knows — to ask a harder question about your family’s future.

Some farming families are sleeping soundly through the toughest season in years. Others are unravelling. Planfarm’s Paul Omodei has sat at both kitchen tables — and he says the difference comes down to one habit, not the size of the balance sheet. In this episode, he and Ben Law get into why so many family farming businesses quietly fracture at succession, and what the ones who get it right are doing years before anyone calls a lawyer.

The best people in your region are sizing up your business online before they ever apply. Lavinia Wehr of AgSocial joins Ben Law to show how a genuine online presence becomes one of the most powerful recruitment tools a modern farming family has — and what’s quietly sending top talent somewhere else.

You built something extraordinary. But somewhere between the sacrifices that shaped it and the success that followed, something quietly got lost — and it might be costing your family more than you realise. Ben Law shares the moment that says it all.

Most families think succession starts at sixty. James Hamilton of Cultivate Advisory says it starts far earlier — and the families who understand why end up with stronger relationships and a clearer future. In Episode 129, he and Ben Law reveal the conversation worth having long before you think you need it.

The war for talent on Australian farms is real — and throwing a Seek ad at it won’t win it. Agri Talent’s Kelli McDougall has placed hundreds of top performers across the agricultural sector and knows exactly where most farming families are losing the battle before it’s even begun. If the people side of your business keeps you up at night, this conversation is your starting point.

Most farming families don’t lose their profit — it just ends up somewhere by default. Ben Law unpacks the one conversation separating high-performing farm families from those working just as hard with far less to show for it.
