Depth of Field with Kelly Sidoryk

By
Simon Sinek, author and inspirational speaker, has some very interesting ideas on our brain and how it works. He relates our conscious brain to being in the range of two feet.

Depth of File with Kelly Sidoryk

The other day when trying to determine price insurance coverage for grass yearlings, we received a text from our buyer: “This is not for the faint of heart.” This caused me to reflect on non-ag businesses who, from my perspective, do not seem to have to deal with so many variables beyond their control.

Understanding our own paradigms

Depth of Field with Kelly Sidoryk

Depth of Field with Kelly Sidoryk

While preparing for a recent holistic management conference which featured David Irvine as the keynote speaker, I came across a video that we had done at an earlier conference.

In the last few weeks, I have had the pleasure of touring around all three of our westernmost provinces for grazing plan workshops, holistic management courses and sessions related to the On-Farm Climate Action Fund.

In the early ’90s, leadership expert Peter Senge wrote a book called the The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization.

Free Market Reflections with Steve Dittmer

By
Recently, I tried a package of Wagyu pre-made ground beef patties. They were priced right so I grilled them up. They were very good. Where did I get them? At Walmart.
