Farm Overview Day

   I had the unique opportunity to today to take part in the behind the scenes discussions about how to fine tune the system and improve on the previous season. It started out with the farm's advisor going over the financials and the goals we have set for the coming season. After that we met with two vets to discuss animal health issues. Then we had lunch and met with the fertilizer rep to go over agronomy plans for the farm, and during that we had a pretty good sized earthquake, but not quite big enough to stop the discussions. Finally we met with the breeding specialists to go over AI plans for the season. It was interesting to see and discuss pretty much every major aspect of the farm in the same day. I really appreciate Andy involving me and the rest of the staff in these bigger management discussions.
