The Spring Rush: What Farmers Are Up Against
The Spring Rush: What Farmers Are Up Against “Farmers are always thinking about our products.” I’ll never forget those words, uttered by an old client of mine. She worked for a large life sciences company. We were launching a pre-emergence corn herbicide, to a market saturated with them. I thought she was joking. She wasn’t. I told her that in the hierarchy of thoughts occupying a farmer’s mind, pre-emergent herbicides barely registered. Adding that we had already spent more time thinking about them during our meeting than most farmers do all year. To be fair, she isn’t the only one to share this flawed view. Few occupations require more versatility, or have more irons in the fire, than farming. That’s why I’ve long advocated that anyone marketing to farmers considers not just the product they are selling, and what challenge or opportunity it may address, but what impact it will have on their entire operation – from soil to software, labor to logistics. Because that’s how farmers think. As the calendar turns to April, we’re entering the busiest – and most critical time – of the year.
Beef Is More Than a Business, It’s a Passion.
Beef Is More Than a Business, It’s a Passion. Few professions capture our imagination like ranching. There’s an undeniable romanticism attached to cowboy culture. Taylor Sheridan has made a career depicting it. And let’s be real, they don’t make movies or write songs about pork and poultry producers. Western lifestyle is at a fever pitch. Brands like Ariat and Wrangler are thriving. And so is the cattle industry. Beef prices are enjoying record highs. And when it comes to producing beef, nobody does it better than the American cowboy. US cattlemen produce over 21% of the world’s beef supply – 28 billion pounds annually – ranking #1 in the world. Yet they do it with just 6% of the world’s cattle herd.
