In this episode, I go back to a spring assessment tool I created based on how people reacted to the COVID-19 lockdowns and see how the types are manifesting themselves now all across businesses and families.

Join Sarah Beth Aubrey for this 6 part series as she walks through her take on the six major fundamental shifts in agriculture today. This week's episode focuses on the massive transition happening now through ten years from now, as leaders at the farm and in agribusiness opt out of agriculture through retirement. This leaves a large gap in knowledge of local relationships, supplier loyalty, and connections to landholders--all things that senior leaders tend to be in charge of--when these people retire. The time is now to make those transitions or transfer that knowledge!
