It is a personal character trait of having that willingness to say, number one, we're recognizing that Junior is capable, has the skill set, has the ability to take over some of our management duties. And then number two, it's that how the heck do you just give up control? And that's just human nature is we want control. And so in order to give up control and
to me it is for that next generation to show their aptitude their skill set their ability to a take over the operation and kind of keep things status quo but also what are they bringing to the table are they bringing some other type of skills and ability or connections relationships to the farming operation so that the owner generation says okay this thing is in good hands
Well thanks gentlemen.
First of First and foremost, I need to recognize that Corey's wearing a shirt from Runnings that I bought three, four years ago. And, man, those things deteriorate over time.
No, I'm wearing pearl snaps.
Right? Yeah. And the tanners weren't just showing up professionally. He's ready to rock and roll.
Yeah. Well, I think Braintrust Egg needs to join forces and get in touch with those shirts. But, Corey, I'm sorry, but that shirt is just not doing it for me.
I'm just going to reserve judgment for the lack of chest hair that I just saw.
And from that point forward, all right, hey, I'm Clint Fisher. And, yeah, let's talk about my world, which is estate planning. succession planning for farmers and ranchers, and it's just helping build better farm businesses. The podcast is called Farm for Profit.
Which to me is a little bit counterintuitive because if we're not farming for profit, what the heck are we doing out there?
Well, we won't be farming for long, but however, I do recognize and I help a lot of folks who don't care about the profit side. So young people who have a hobby farm or, I mean, growing up, I grew up on a hobby farm and the profit didn't matter. But where I'm focused at, where I actually can connect with folks is how do we make profit?
And then how do we build that farm business into something that we can transition to the next generation?
And so as an attorney in South Dakota who works with farm families daily, that is primarily my, my, uh, my focus is how do we effectively do that? And obviously there's tax implications. Um, there's family dynamic in implications. And so those are the things that I talked about on Twitter or X, sorry, and, and elsewhere. But, um,
Yeah, so I'm just really passionate about, one, helping farm families transition in operation to the next generation. And then number two, how the heck do we incentivize or inspire non-farm folks to get involved in agriculture and kind of go that route? Yeah. So that's a bit about me.
Yeah, I grew up on a hobby farm. And frankly, folks... I rode the school bus from 10 miles north of where I went to school all the way to school every day. And we were the first pickup on the route. So I was on that school bus for an hour and a half.
And I rode on there. And all of my friends on that school bus were talking about tractors and yields and farming. And I couldn't relate. This is just me being transparent here. I kind of felt like I was missing out on something. I grew up in the country, but not on a production farm. My grandpa was farming while I was going to school.
And so to answer your question, it was, man, that is really cool. I really want to do that in the future. How the heck do you get into that world as a freaking grade schooler? And that kind of led to me just being like the misfit. Right. So I wasn't really a farm kid. I wasn't really a town kid.
And I mean, granted, town kid means thousand people were, you know, citizens of our of our small town in South Dakota. That has really kind of been weighing on my shoulder since I was a kid. So fast forward years and years and years and years, I got a degree in egg business. I managed some egg retail locations. So for 10 years, I was kind of in that egg retail space.
I owned a fencing company for a while. And one of the things that I saw is that, man, there's a big misconnect from where egg operations are at today versus where The next generation is going to take those over. And that led me to go into law school as a late in life. I was that non-traditional student at law school who everybody just hates because I'm the one who's there to learn.
Everybody else is there just to get a degree, right? And so I'm there and I'm asking questions and I answer. but I'm also not the one who says, yeah, let's not have more homework. Let's get out early because I'm there to learn. So I went to law school, got a degree, and here we are. Now I'm an attorney in South Dakota with a primary focus on helping farm families transition their operation.
