Farm Owners Academy

You built this business. You get to decide what your role looks like now. 🙌

Most farm owners keep doing the same jobs long after they've outgrown them. Not because they have to. Because nobody told them they could stop.

Being good at something isn't enough in the long run. Sustained success comes from finding and working from your genius. The place where what gives you energy meets what you're genuinely great at.

That's not a dream. That's a decision. Read the full blog here 👉 https://vist.ly/57ghi

The Market Just Gave Grain Growers a Window 🌾

Growers who wait for the perfect price and growers who sell reactively for cashflow often end up with the same outcome: regret.

In Episode 193, Brett Stevenson, Founder of Market Check, and CEO Nick Crundall unpack what's happening in global grain markets, what they're watching right now, and how proactive growers are positioning themselves.

If grain is part of your business this season, this conversation could help you make better decisions before the market makes them for you.

Five farm owners. Five moments that could have broken them.

One couple discovered their cropping had been losing money for years. They exited, reset, and hit their 10-year goals in four.

One family's free-range egg operation was wiped out by a biosecurity crisis. They rebuilt from scratch. Twelve months later, they came back stronger.

One farm owner took three months off, packed the kids in the car, and drove around Australia. The business kept running without them.

No theory. No consultants telling them what to do from a boardroom.
Just real farm owners, real numbers, and the moments that changed everything.

That's Paddock-Tested. A free 5-part podcast from Farm Owners Academy.

Each story comes paired with a 24-question Farm Operating System Checkup - it scores your farm business across the six pillars that top-producing farms run on.

The stories show you what's possible. The checkup shows you where to start.

🌏 have made their way into south-west NSW near Bathurst where we caught up with James, Josie & Jock.

With an incredible view overlooking Mt Panorama, the Suttons have built Sutton Breeding Services, specialising in cattle pregnancy scanning and artificial insemination.

They have developed impressive facilities and are using leading breeding technologies to help improve livestock performance.

We spent time discussing their future plans and how they can use their CAP to put the right strategic steps in place for the next phase of growth. 📈

It's a credit to what can be achieved when you combine industry expertise with a clear vision. Well done team, we look forward to watching your journey continue 🚀

You hit profitability. You expected to feel relieved.

Instead you feel… flat. 😶

Not because something is wrong with you. Because no one told you that solving the money problem just reveals the next one.

"What do I actually want this business to give me?". That question is uncomfortable. And it's also the most important one you'll ever ask.

Because the goal was never just profit. It was a business that supports the life you actually want. 🌱

And that life is still waiting to be built.

Our members are featured in the R.M.Williams OUTBACK magazine! 🎉

When dry years and falling cattle prices hit, Mark & Rachael McInerney didn’t sit back and hope things improved.

They evolved.

Today, they’re running a 4,000ha Poll Hereford stud, cropping enterprise, customer-direct beef business and building a farm business with more clarity, confidence, and direction than ever before.

Their story is a powerful reminder that the farms willing to adapt, innovate, and think strategically are the ones shaping the future of Australian agriculture 🚜

Proud to have Mark & Rachael as part of the FOA community 👏
