This week:
Met a handful of aspiring farmers and most of the discussion is about encouraging them to dream bigger. A lot of people are limiting their thinking to what they can save to buy. We say, dream about what you really want and let's work backwards from there on how we can make it happen. Everyone is loving the farm pitching marketplace. This is clearly going to solve a problem for asll you aspiring farmers out there.
We are in idea testing phase at the moment. We are asking questions of a lot of people about what they expect to see on the platform. The aim is that anyone can pitch a farm investment and get it in front of an investor to see if they will back you. We've had a great chat with ANZ, investors, aspiring farmers, agronomists and farm investment advisors. Our next phase is mapping out how this will flow online and support our handful of farms to pitch offline to prove it works.
It is rare for the Hicks' and Sam to be in the same spot and the Elmore Field Days was a great excuse for us to spend more time together and to talk to aspiring farmers together.
How are the 1000 acres going? What are you growing?
How is Hicks Country Beef going?
