I'm out here trying to make grain marketing as simple as possible. If we can get rid of steering a tractor, we can make contracts, hedging, and insurance more straightforward.
Advice is not my game - I build great tools.

@sanegrain Pretty similar. Dad was millwright at local seed plant. Ive got 3 boys and basically lay awake at night thinking how I can actually instill this before they become teenagers…
@carllippert@NickHorob While it burns my soul to say it, I would generally agree. I’ve learned the lessons and understand how the game has to be played now. While I never personally loved HPs marketing tactics it was totally fair and ultimately got results.
@carllippert Couldnt agree more. One thing Id add is to use a pwd manager from day one along with the admin log. Whether you have to shutdown or deal with the surprise bills … you need the peace of mind that you can always access those things too
@Cornobbe@BenjaminNething@JahrausJoe This is a view of farming (for the last couple decades) that really makes sense. It would also IMO completely explain the struggles with getting good hired labor. You either need to bring them into the equity fold or pay competitively so that the investment is protected
@blakealbers I would concur on those numbers from when I left corporate to start our software company
Also is interesting to see how folks comments telegraph their own risk comfort levels
@clintwfischer Is this a situation where the heir is named, or are you crafting language that would define a bar if a problem were to develop? Equally, is there a path back to good graces?
