AND TAKE YOUR FARM TO THE NEXT LEVEL<\/p>\n\t\t

FOCUS ON YOUR BUSINESS<\/h6>\t\t\n\t\t\t

“I continue to be amazed at the similar issues all of our operations face\/struggle with. Whether it is orchard farming in Canada or no-till farming in Kansas or crop farming in northern Minnesota, we are all dealing with similar issues. I would also use the analogy that iron shapes iron. It is refreshing to be with like-minded producers who have similar goals of making their business better each and every day they go to work.” ~ Eric<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t

GET HIGH IMPACT ACTION ITEMS FROM EVERY MEETING<\/h6>\t\t\n\t\t\t

“Through our involvement with the EFN we have definitely made changes on the farm, starting with a more formal business structure.\u00a0 Identifying what we need to work on as a first step and using EFN as a tool to bring those issues forward and solve them.\u00a0 Our interaction with the peer group and Tim is really beneficial.” ~\u00a0 Brett\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t

MAKE BETTER DECISIONS<\/h6>\t\t\n\t\t\t

“Your decision making is so much better.\u00a0 You walk into the room here and you are talking to one person, that’s great.\u00a0 You learn something.\u00a0 You talk to 10 people: what they learned, what they tried, ask the right question at the right time. It’s a much more powerful situation.” ~ Chris <\/em><\/p>\n\t\t

IMPROVE PROFITS WITH INCREASED EFFICIENCY<\/h6>\t\t\n\t\t\t

“As we continue to get bigger, we face new challenges with the need to better manage more complex financials and employees. I received a lot of good information on management possibilities, and how best to structure employees and managers. After going through the program, I have a much better sense of ways to gain control of tracking machinery, maintenance and labor costs which helps our farm be more profitable. I have met some very interesting and highly informed and smart people in this peer group. The information and openness of this group is the best I have ever experienced. It has offered me an opportunity to see other farms and learn why they are successful” ~ David<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t

GET A BEHIND THE SCENES LOOK AT OTHER FARMS<\/h6>\t\t\n\t\t\t

“It’s a tremendous opportunity to meet some of these other successful business people and learn from their experiences, and share experiences and ways in which they’ve addressed issues and problems. And quite honestly we all have the same issues and problems. It’s been tremendous to learn and see how they’ve dealt with things” ~Marshall<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t

IMPROVED EMPLOYEE MANAGEMENT<\/h6>\t\t\n\t\t\t

“We already started to implement a number of things that we’ve picked up from our involvement with the EFN.\u00a0 We implemented more regular employee meetings.\u00a0 We’ve started to more officially define the responsibilities of everyone working on the farm….we’ve started to micromanage less and delegate more.\u00a0 It’s been a good thing.\u00a0 We’ve really been able to work on communication amongst those of us who are family members in addition to with our employees.\u00a0 That has really helped us make sure we are all growing in the same direction.” ~ Mike <\/em><\/p>\n\t
