The Number That Changed How I Farm

Published 15 days ago • 2 min read

Why I Stopped Doing Everything Myself (and What Happened Next)

Hey Reader,

Quick question: do you know your actual hourly rate for each enterprise on your farm?

Not revenue. Not profit. Your hourly rate — net divided by hours spent.

Most farmers don't know this number. And it turns out that's a pretty expensive thing not to know.

In this week's video I walk through the math, share a few examples that reframed how I think about this whole thing (including one involving Jeff Bezos giving up 90% of Amazon), and talk honestly about what I changed at Longbottom Farm once I ran the numbers myself.

It's not a comfortable video. But it's one of the most useful ones in the series.
