At Harvest Profit, we are big fans of The 5% Rule.
This philosphy orginates out of Texas A&M’s The Executive Program for Agricultural Producers.
In simple terms, if you can make 5% improvements to the following areas of your farm it can easily lead to 100%+ improvements in farm profitability.
- Yield
- Price
- Expenses
In farming, hitting “singles” in each of the three ares above can generate Grand Slams for your farm’s profitability.
You can see more of our thoughts of The 5% Rule here.
We hosted a webinar with Kristjan Hebert where he discusses this and much more. See the replay below.
