2025 Good, Difficult, Different – January 20th
Let’s face it, Growing Your Legacy is no easy task. For most of us in production agriculture, our legacy is one that started long before we were born, and by definition will continue long after we are dead. So, how do you Grow Your Legacy? Enter Max Yield System.
Like I mentioned in my last write up, the Max Yield System is your plan for profitability in 2025. If used properly it is your plan for profitability every year. Remember the principles, 1) decide to make a plan, 2) decide to execute the plan, and 3) debrief in order to implement and improve the plan for next year. The debrief is the critical component for Growing Your Legacy because it identifies places to improve and new practices to implement in the future – and a legacy is a future.
So how do you debrief to Grow Your Legacy? I like to use a simple process called Good, Difficult, and Different. Make three separate lists, first list all the things that went Good. On this list could be things like pre-emergent herbicide plans, seed portfolios, or fertilizer efficiency. Next you’re going to make the Difficult list. This is a list of things that you feel are the right thing to do but need improvement. A couple things I know growers are working on here are starter fertilizer blends, efficient application of Pivot Bio, etc. Finally make a list of the things that you need a Different solution to. Different means we need to go back to the drawing board and start with a fresh slate, the process or product that you are using just isn’t working and you need to find a different solution.
After you have identified the good, difficult, and different items, put them to work in your Max Yield System and Grow Your Legacy.
If you make the commitment to Grow Your Legacy, I’ll support you along the way. The Max Yield System is a customizable process that helps identify and implement improvements to Grow Your Yield and Grow Your Legacy. Don’t delay, let’s get your Max Yield System plan for 2025 profitability completed today, my calendar is filling up, will you be one of the few growers who start 2025 with a plan for profitability?
