Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

Here you go....

So all the good managers have good luck and all the bad managers have bad luck? What happens if a bad manager has good luck and a good manager has bad luck?

Hopefully each has the brains to manage their way through what ever luck they have?

Enough of a riddle.

But as I said...don't confuse management with luck. Management is in your control, luck isn't.

One definition of "luck";

"success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one's own actions."

So if you don't believe in luck you must not believe in "random chance" either.

May I suggest you buy the next 60 million $ winning Lotto Max ticket with your intellgence and management skills.

There...I just kicked the hornets nest! Sting away!

Luck is when hard work meets oppurtunity.

I too agree it is not all about luck .
Don’t really believe in that. Does it play a part .. yup , but sorry a small part in anything in life .
To me luck is having a golf course to sell to help the farming operations, or a machinery dealership, any other large sum of money injection of cash into a farming operation. Smart guys can make that work enormously .... most of us don’t get that advantage... that’s the luck of the draw for a few ..... we all must deal with weather to try to make ends meet .

!

I believe in probabilities.

Actually, I don't believe in anything. That is another word that doesn't have much use( as I gave up on trying to explain to Chuck who thinks it has something to do with science...), same with Fate, Faith, Destiny, Wish, Fortunate, plus any and all derivatives of Luck.

Spend some time with people who play the victim card, and see how often these type of words are spoken.

How would you know? you clearly haven't the brains.

ANd this is why i call this fool a parasite.

Yes, you need to be on top of your game every day and know your costs. Management is very important, what I'm trying to say on the luck front is mother nature holds the cards if a storm hits your farm and misses a mile away is it management or luck that you have 55 and your neighbour has 40.

Weather in Canada is the defining factor.

In SA if you screw up which is managed on your part you wait and reseed another crop. Here you get no second chances in a growing season. If hail hits your wiped out for the year.

Management is having hail insurance and crop insurance and selling the plant mass as cattle feed.

Its all tied together but the weather is the main factor that helps the farm.

Turn it into a mutualistic parasitic relationship that benefits both of you.

I believe in making your own luck. But I do believe In dumb luck. Who you were born to, inherittances, and grandpas ten paid for quarters have contributed to a lot of farming successes out there. Hate to say it, but around me, many or most all, have had dumb luck.

Inheriting seven quarters? Good management? Having daddy co-sign? Good management? Inheriting land from a friend of grandpas? Good management? Marrying a woman whose grandpa dies and leaves her a few million? Good management? 😂

Y’all can’t say there is not a huge degree of luck that has helped most get ahead?

The key is not to begrudge the blessed folks, and recognize we did not all start at the same square, with the same token. I look at every farm around me, and yes there are good managers. But every single one, including mine, has had varying degrees of luck, or good fortune. Some more than others. Some less.

Probably easier for those who struggle, to actually see it and notice it.

Heading out to make some of my own!
