Economic benefits first - Cassidy Johnston, a Rancher out of the US, said this: "A reminder that sustainability must include economics in order to be truly sustainable". In other words, your operation needs to make money or be profitable; otherwise, it can't be considered sustainable. 

This is so spot on it's not funny. Cassidy is a dynamo and writes very thought-provoking long-form posts on Linkedin. You can follow her here. Also, Cassidy will be speaking at our FarmTender2024 - Entrepreneurs in Farming event, see the link here.

Farming, like any other business, needs to be profitable; it's tough enough in this high-cost environment to make Farming profitable. So, by putting restrictions on a Farmer, for whatever reason that is, it messes with their ability to make a profit.

And if a Farmer is not profitable, they won't ever consider putting money aside for projects that might benefit someone or something outside their own Farming business. If others want to benefit, then they (the Farmer) have to benefit first and foremost. Do you agree that there is no sustainability without a profit? Reply to dwaind@farmtender.com.au
