OFI 1652: How To Turn 20 Acres Into A House With Cattle | Special Coaching Session With Wendy From Ontario, Oregon | Re-Cap Episode

On tomorrow’s ag business episode I talking with an agricultural career coach.  This got me thinking of what episode to replay for you on today’s episode, and it became clear.  Our guest tomorrow specializes in helping people find their careers in agriculture.  The other side to that same coin is how can you develop your farming and agricultural lifestyle at home.  So, in today’s re-cap episode I am going back to a special coaching session I did with Wendy from Ontario, Oregon about this very thing.

The original show notes are below.

KEY IDEAS: 

Today is our second episode devoted to coaching a listener for free.  I hope you see the consistency here. I tell you to work for free, and I am working for free to develop this part of my business.

Our guest today is Wendy from Ontario, Oregon.  Wendy and her husband both work full-time and have a farm dream.  They have purchased a 200 acre farm about 90 minutes away from her husband’s work and recently purchased another 500 acres nearby.  Now they want to fix up an old farmhouse on the property and they need funds to make this happen.

They are leasing out a large portion of the farm and farming the rest.  However, there is 20 acres of pasture available and they have their eye on the cattle business as a way to generate revenue to help with the remodeling of this house.

This turns into more of a consulting session than a coaching session.  But there is good information in here on a couple different models of using direct marketing to make beef really pay.
