Introducing GYFOS: A different way to think about AI in your business. Learning how to use AI is one thing. Figuring out how to make it genuinely useful in your business is another. The Growing Your Future Operating System (GYFOS) helps business owners explore how AI can support their workflows, capture their knowledge, and create more effective ways of working. Now entering its third cohort, GYFOS is designed for those ready to move beyond curiosity and start exploring practical applications for their business. On The Impact Farming Show, we talk with Dan Aberhart @AberhartDan about the program, his favourite module, lessons from previous participants, and what business owners can expect. Curious whether this approach could work for you? 🎧 Listen to the full episode: farmmarketer.com/Resources/R… 🔗 Learn more about GYFOS: growingthefuture.ca/gyfos @TracyMBrunet #GYFOS #GrowingTheFuture #ArtificialIntelligence #BusinessGrowth #TheImpactFarmingShow

Farming is about more than what happens in the field. 🌾 Behind every farm operation are financial decisions, family relationships, tax considerations, and plans for the future. The professionals advising farm families play an important role in helping producers navigate these decisions — and that's exactly what the Agriculture Update for Professionals is all about. In my latest episode of The Impact Farming Show, @JoelBokenfohr and Colin Miller share what's in store for the 47th annual event, including sessions on succession, legacy, unexpected challenges, and tax tips and traps. 📅 Happening November 23 to 26, 2026, with in-person and virtual attendance options. 🎙️ Listen to the episode and find out what’s coming! farmmarketer.com/Resources/R… @TracyMBrunet #ImpactFarmingShow #FarmManagement #FarmSuccession #AgricultureProfessionals ………………….

New Episode… When the Pressure Is On: Support That Fits Farm Life We’ve made tremendous progress raising awareness about farmer mental health. But are we doing enough to make sure the support available actually fits the realities of farm life? Farmers are busy, often working alone, carrying enormous responsibilities and facing pressures that people outside agriculture may never fully understand. And when someone is struggling, reaching out for help isn't always easy. So, what does support look like when you don't have an hour to spare, aren't ready to call someone or simply don't know where to start? On this episode of The Impact Farming Show, we're joined by Shawna Percy, founder of Ag Care Connect, to explore how we can make mental health support more accessible, practical and relevant to farmers and their families. 🎙️ In this episode, we discuss: ✅ Why mental health awareness is only part of the solution ✅ The barriers that prevent farmers from seeking support ✅ How Ag Care Connect is making agriculture-specific resources available ✅ Why early support matters before someone reaches a crisis ✅ How to approach a neighbour, employee or family member we're concerned about ✅ What meaningful progress in farmer mental health could look like Farmer mental health isn't just about individual resilience. It's also about having the right resources, stronger connections and a community that knows how to support one another. 🎧 Watch or listen to the latest episode of The Impact Farming Show and share it with someone in agriculture who needs to hear this conversation. farmmarketer.com/Resources/R… @TracyMBrunet #ImpactFarming #FarmerMentalHealth #AgCareConnect #MentalHealthInAgriculture #CanadianAgriculture ………………….

Life Insurance_ An Asset Class in Canada_

Don't split the farm. Use life insurance. Farm succession planning isn't just about who takes over the farm. It's also about protecting your family and preparing for the unexpected. It's also about answering the big question "how do we handle fair and equal when it comes to succession planning?" Life insurance may be an important part of that conversation. A very important part if you ask Derryn and Bill. Join Bill Paddon of Grassland Finance Corp, Derryn Shrosbree of Farmstrong and me on The Impact Farming Show as we discuss what farming families need to consider when it comes to insurance and succession planning. 🎧 Tune in to Farm Succession: Protecting Everything You've Built with Life Insurance. farmmarketer.com/Resources/R… #FarmSuccession #FarmFamily #Farming #FarmLife

Who is supporting the next generation of farmers? Being the next generation isn't always easy. Young farmers are navigating the realities of building a farm business, taking over family operations, accessing capital, developing leadership skills, managing risk, learning the business side of agriculture and trying to figure out where they fit in an industry that is changing faster than ever. And sometimes, what you need most isn't another piece of information. It's connection. That's where Canada's Young Farmers comes in. If you're a young farmer or you're part of the generation supporting, mentoring or working alongside young farmers, this is a conversation worth watching. The next generation of agriculture isn't waiting for the future. They're building it right now. 🎙️ Watch the latest episode of The Impact Farming Show.
