Protecting Your Farm’s Legacy with Succession Planning

November 4, 2025 9:11 am|

Farmers build an entire legacy within their operation, one that can be passed down for generations. But what happens when it's actually time to hand that legacy over? In this episode, Mike Howell sits down with Uncommon Farms' Manager of Succession Planning, Mike Downey to dig into the realities of on-farm succession planning. They explore the difference between estate and succession planning, the transition options available, how to bring the next generation into the business, when to use a will versus a revocable living trust, and how private installment sales can help transfer equity to the next generation while maintaining income for the current owners. Plus, Mike Downey shares his best advice for starting the succession conversation on the farm (and why starting early is the best investment you can make).

AGROTAIN, Stabilizing Nitrogen, & Dumb Issues

November 3, 2025 6:00 pm|

Considering skipping that treated Nitrogen application next year? Stu Hirt and Cody Hornaday join hosts Sal Sama and Jeff Jarrett in the podcast room for this episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies. Stu is the Territory Business Manager and Cody is the Technical Agronomist for Koch Agronomic Services. Though they’re rookies to the podcast, Sal and Jeff have known them for a long time, so they’re no strangers to Premier.

In addition to hearing how Stu and Cody ended up working for Koch Agronomic Services, you’ll learn about the three main forms of nitrogen loss and how Koch Agronomic Services can help protect against that loss. You’ll also learn about volatilization inhibitors,symptoms of nitrogen deficiency, how nutrients are all connected, and why the data shows that more untreated Nitrogen actually drives losses higher instead of protecting a lower amount. Think of Nitrogen as an insurance policy. “If I could get you 12 to 15, sometimes 20 bushel more off of treated Nitrogen versus untreated Nitrogen, I mean, to me that’s a no-brainer.”
