Agriculture has evolved into a complex industry where success depends on a network of relationships both on and off the farm. Ineffective engagement is often cited by farmers and advisors as a major barrier to effective management and a source of tension. Family members often confide that a culture of sub optimal relationships is impacting operations and putting the farm’s future at risk. Advisors report that farmers are reluctant to engage their services, even if it means lost opportunity, higher risk, and lower profits.
