The longer I work with and live alongside those in ag, the more I know this to be true. Nearly every conversation that starts out about taxes ends up about succession planning, relationship challenges, and fear of the (constant) unknown.

The bad news is- We can't outworry or outwork many of the tremendous obstacles faced in this industry.

The good news? Communities forged within the ag world can be our greatest strength, when we let them!

I love these words from Jill Winger at The Prairie Homestead. Anyone who knows me, knows my passion for small businesses and small town revitalization.(Ehhemm... SS Creamery Co. Office Suites 😅)

But being a CPA means also having a sobering understanding behind the nuts and bolts of these endeavors. Why they're risky. Why they sometimes fail. And why a town loving an idea doesn't keep the doors open.

Find the businesses in your town that are operating with integrity and filling a genuine need in your community. The ones with kids underfoot, and community fundraiser flyers taped to the counter.

And then shop local when you can. With your actual, real dollars. ❤️

A quaint little business on Main Street in a small town.

It’s the stuff Hallmark movies are made of.

The historic building, creaky floors, foot traffic, nostalgia, community… we loooove to romanticize it.

After reviving the oldest operating soda fountain in the state of Wyoming, I can tell you firsthand that yes, there is something deeply meaningful about bringing an old place back to life.

Yet, like most things we romanticize from a distance, it’s usually a whole lot less romantic up close.

Since buying the soda fountain five years ago, I’ve had a lot of people ask about following in my footsteps.

I usually get a little tongue-tied at that point, because there’s so much I want to say, I don’t know where to begin.

So today I pulled together a few of the thoughts that feel most important.

This is an awesome opportunity to dig deep and lay a great foundation for a new farm operation.

Do you have a young person in your operation who is hungry to learn the business side of ranching? 👇
We're talking about the 18 to 25 year olds. The ones already putting in the work, asking good questions, and showing signs that they're in this for the long haul. The ones who could be running this operation someday.

Ranching for Profit for Young Adults is a 3-day intensive designed specifically for the next generation of ranch and farm business owners. It's the same principles that have transformed operations across North America, built for where young adults are right now.

We still have seats available and would love to fill them with the right young people. If someone comes to mind: a son, daughter, employee, or neighbor kid who's ready to think differently about the future of agriculture; tag them below or share this post their way.
🤠
Sometimes the best thing you can do for the next generation is put the right tools in their hands early.

CPAs 🤝 Spring Sports. 😅

Feeling thankful for technology that allows me to tend to the final days of tax season, while cheering on my kiddo!

I love working with farmers and small business owners that jump from work to family and back. They know the numbers are important, but also just one piece of the puzzle.

So hats off to all the parents navigating sports and crazy spring schedules! May your coffee and sunscreen be strong. 🫡

This article is worth the read!

Dr. David Kohl provides such great insight for farmers who aren't entering the industry with a cushy balance sheet.

You CAN succeed in ag without lots of generational wealth and land ownership- but it requires discipline, intentionality, and a whole lot of grit. 💪🌱

"Leadership involves plumbing as well as poetry."

I had to chuckle when I read James G. March's quote this morning. As somebody who owns and helps small businesses every day, I can sure identify with the emotional whiplash that is entrepreneurship.

You have to wake up every day with enough "poetry" to keep seeing the vision that made you start this crazy endeavor in the first place.

And then, rip off the rose colored glasses and get down to the gritty work of the "plumbing"- paying bills, hiring and firing, and dealing with whatever mayhem might ensue that day.

Then repeat. Daily.

It's no wonder we're all exhausted.

My wish for you in 2026 is: enough hope and energy to see the "poetry" in life- and the gumption to handle all the rest.

Happy New Year, everybody! ✨️

'Tis the season for year-end tax maneuvers and farm asset purchases. 🚜 But are you sure those choices are benefitting your operation in the long run?

Last week I enjoyed chatting with Paige Wyler from Ambrook and Jason Safa, EA from their tax partner Uprise. Link to grab the replay is in the comments! ⤵️

We covered:

➡️ TikTok/Coffeeshop tax planning- and why they make us 😬.

➡️Tax tools to combat volatility in the farm economy (and your finances).

➡️What we love to see from our clients at tax time- and year round!

➡️And why your tax strategy shouldn't be the same as your neighbor. 👨‍🌾👩‍🌾👨‍🌾

So use your windshield time to grab a few tips, tricks, and mindset shifts as we close out 2025!

Wherever financial advice and real life meet... that's where I like to hang out. 👋

So from one busy business owner to another- you CAN keep your books accurate. Even when you're paying bills from a pallet of concrete instead of your office. It just takes a plan and some new habits. 😊​​ Happy Friday!

I was lucky enough to get away from my desk and spend the day with a group of ambitious young farmers this week.

Lots of great ideas were shared, but the one that leaves me feeling unsettled is this:

"Farmers are ALWAYS moving the goalposts." 🏆

Aiming for higher yields, waiting for higher prices, and eyeing the next (larger, more efficient) piece of equipment to add to the fleet. 📈

Continuous improvement is what makes American agriculture great. But it's also what can wear us down if we don't pause to recognize how far we've come. Longevity in this industry takes mental toughness and the ability to sift out the wins from what often feels like endless challenges.

December is a great time to take a look back and celebrate the things you've accomplished and overcome in 2025.

Big or small, business or personal- I'd love to hear about them! ⤵️
