Tools for tough times: Jeanette Long
It's not often you get the chance to hit the pause button, zoom out and look at the bigger picture of your farming business.
Farmers are often great at being operational - getting the crop program in or managing livestock cycles - but perhaps not as well practiced at thinking through a strategic plan: where you want your business to go and how you want to go about it.
Many of us tend to simply let things unfold and that's why Jeanette Long's pearls of wisdom are so helpful - she's a director, trainer and coach for Ag Consulting Co, which delivers the LivestockSA AgRi-Silience program.
We hope this chat with Jeanette helps you make some of those big (and small!) decisions in your farming and family lives, no matter what conditions are thrown at you.
