Show Notes:

In this episode, we get straight to the heart of what truly drives profit in family agribusinesses, with insights from Kate Burke of Think Agri. As a seasoned farm consultant with a PhD in agronomy and a background in managing one of Australia's largest grain producers, Kate knows a thing or two about making farms profitable. She joins us to share her expertise and challenge some common misconceptions.

Kate kicks off by sharing a bit about her impressive background, setting the stage for a discussion that will have you rethinking what you know about agricultural profitability. When we first discussed this podcast, Kate made a bold claim: factors like rainfall, farm size, and commodity prices are not the biggest determinants of agribusiness success. With the recent tough times—drought, falling livestock prices, rising input costs, and interest rates—many might find this hard to believe. So, what are the real profit drivers? Kate reveals the key factors that can make or break a farm business.

Furthermore, she highlights the significant range in farm profit performance across the industry and suggests that many families have the potential to double their returns. What are most families missing in their recipe for success? Tune in to find out the crucial elements that can transform your agribusiness and ensure long-term prosperity for future generations.
