  • The Financial DNA of Your Farm Legacy
    2025/08/16

    The wealth that's been created in farming and the transfer that's coming is unprecedented, yet many farm families still put off crucial estate planning conversations. In this insightful discussion with senior wealth consultant Galen McGregor, we unpack the essential components of effective farm legacy planning and why it matters at every age – not just for the elderly.

    Farm families face unique challenges when transitioning assets between generations. From deciding who gets which parcel of land to managing the delicate balance between fair and equal distribution among heirs, these decisions require thoughtful consideration. As Galen explains, "Once you have worked with one family, you've just worked with one family," because each situation demands customized solutions that honor both financial realities and family dynamics.

    We explore the five core components every comprehensive estate plan should include: a last will and testament, financial power of attorney, healthcare power of attorney, living will, and potentially a revocable trust. Surprisingly, everyone needs the first four components by age 18 – something many farm families overlook until it's too late. The conversation also highlights practical strategies for asset protection, including structuring operations with separate LLCs for crops, machinery, and land to limit liability exposure.

    Perhaps most compelling is Galen's emphasis on the non-financial aspects of legacy planning. Her recommendation to create a "letter of wishes" – a personal explanation of your estate decisions – can prevent misunderstandings and preserve family relationships after you're gone. As she puts it, "Sometimes it's not just money, but how do you want them to operate every day and treat others?" This perspective transforms estate planning from a purely financial exercise into a meaningful expression of your values and hopes for future generations.

    Whether you're just starting your farming career or contemplating retirement, this conversation offers practical guidance for protecting what matters most – your land, your legacy, and your family's future. Take the first step today by writing down your three or four most important wishes for your farm's future.

  • Weather, Crops, and Trade: A Rural Perspective
    2025/08/09

    The vibrant green landscape stretching across North Dakota this summer tells a remarkable story of agricultural transformation. What began as a potentially devastating drought has evolved into one of the most verdant growing seasons in recent memory, with implications reaching far beyond this year's harvest.

    Jim Sabe and Daryl Lies take listeners on a journey across the state's diverse growing regions, from the unexpectedly lush Badlands to the thriving croplands of the north. "I've never seen the state this green besides probably 2013 or 14," Sabe remarks, highlighting how timely rainfall has dramatically altered production outlooks. The transformation is particularly striking in traditionally arid areas south of Bowman extending into South Dakota, where ranchers are harvesting second cuttings of hay – a rare occurrence that speaks to the exceptional moisture patterns.

    This abundance brings both opportunity and challenge. While crops appear poised for excellent yields, with corn standing six to seven feet tall and canola fields described as "so thick you could roll across without touching ground," the persistent rainfall threatens harvest logistics. Some alfalfa has already been lost to excessive moisture, and concerns mount about field conditions as harvest season approaches. Meanwhile, commodity prices remain stubbornly low, creating a situation where bushel count becomes critical for profitability despite visually impressive fields.

    The conversation extends beyond immediate growing conditions to examine shifting global agricultural markets. Drawing from his recent meetings with trade representatives in Washington DC, Ease offers valuable perspective on how China's declining population contrasts with India's growth, potentially requiring American producers to adapt their crop selections in coming years. "American agriculture being dependent on row crops in 10 years might not be the thing," he notes, suggesting pulse crops and protein production may offer better opportunities as global consumption patterns evolve.

    Subscribe to hear more insights on agricultural markets, land values, and production trends from the experts who work directly with farmers and ranchers across the Northern Plains. Whether you're actively farming or simply interested in the forces shaping rural America, these conversations provide valuable perspective you won't find anywhere else.

  • Classic Cars, Farm Equipment, and Prime Land: Upper Midwest Auction Roundup
    2025/08/06

    The auction block comes alive across the Upper Midwest in this dynamic exploration of recent sales and upcoming opportunities with America's Land Auctioneer hosts Andy Mrnak and Jim Sabe.

    In the rolling green landscapes of Buffalo Gap, South Dakota, and the bustling main street of Bowman, North Dakota, recent auctions have showcased everything from pristine farm equipment to collector-worthy vehicles. A 2014 John Deere tractor with low hours commanded $67,000, while classic car enthusiasts drove bidding to $44,500 for a 2008 Shelby Mustang GT500 with just 2,050 miles. Perhaps most heartwarming was the donation auction of a 2015 Tiffin motor coach that brought $172,500 for the North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame, with bidders flying in from as far as Michigan.

    The hosts provide valuable market insights throughout - front-wheel assist tractors and four-wheel drives maintain strong values, while the once-hot market for "square body" Chevy pickups shows signs of cooling as more inventory becomes available. Clean, well-maintained equipment stored indoors consistently outperforms similar aged machinery with weather damage, underscoring the importance of proper care for maximum return.

    For landowners considering selling, the conversation shifts to strategic auction planning, with fall (September-December) and spring (February-June) identified as prime selling seasons. The upcoming 20th anniversary Western Dakota Land Auction takes center stage as a premier multi-day event bringing together sellers and qualified buyers from across the country, particularly for properties with valuable water features.

    Whether you're looking to turn equipment into cash, transition farmland to new ownership, or simply understand current market conditions, this episode provides a comprehensive roadmap through today's agricultural auction landscape.
