  • The Insurance Reality Check: Diversification, Risk, and Why You Might Be Over-Insured
    Dec 19 2025

    When was the last time you adjusted the values on your policy? If you haven’t looked recently, you might be paying for coverage you don’t need on depreciating machinery.

    Rob and Dave Nussbaumer (Lakeview Insurance) dig into the dollars and cents of farm insurance. They explore how to protect new revenue streams as farms diversify into retail and processing, and why getting an on-farm visit is the best way to ensure you aren’t over-paying on equipment or under-insured on your facilities.

    Episode Highlights:
    - Trends in farm diversification (and the risks that come with them).
    - Spotting where you are over-insured vs. under-insured.
    - Why the “Annual Review” is vital for saving money and protecting assets.

  • When Fair Isn’t Equal: How 33seven Helps Farm Families Build a Lasting Legacy
    Nov 10 2025

    What happens to your farm — and your family — when you’re gone? In this episode of the AGvisorPOD, Rob Saik sits down with Derryn Shrosbree of 33seven to tackle one of agriculture’s hardest but most important topics: continuity and estate planning. They discuss how rising land values and off-farm heirs complicate succession, why 88% of farm families don’t have a plan, and how to create a legacy that keeps everyone at the same table for Christmas dinner. Derryn also shares the “Farm Liquidity Solution,” his collaboration with HUB International, and insights on the upcoming Outstanding Young Farmers of Canada event — all part of helping the next generation of farmers thrive.

  • Building Fertilizer Independence: How Genesis Fertilizers Aims to Empower Western Canadian Farmers
    Oct 20 2025

    The nitrogen market is shifting — fast. Global volatility, rising fertilizer prices, and supply chain uncertainty have left Western Canadian farmers paying some of the highest input costs in the world. In this episode, Rob Saik sits down with Derek Penner, CEO of Genesis Fertilizers, to unpack how a multi-billion-dollar, farmer-owned fertilizer plant could change the game.

    They discuss:
    - Why fertilizer prices have skyrocketed — and may stay high
    - How farmers can gain equity and control in fertilizer production
    - The economics, governance, and long-term vision behind Genesis Fertilizers
    - What government and strategic support could mean for the project’s future

    If you’re a farmer thinking about your long-term input costs — or how to invest directly in agriculture’s future — this is a must-listen.

    And if you’re heading to Agri-Trade 2025, don’t miss AGvisorPRO and Genesis Fertilizers — we’re co-hosting the (Unofficial) Agri-Trade Afterparty on November 6 at 8 p.m. at the Silver Buckle in Red Deer, bringing the agriculture community together for drinks, conversations, and connections.
