In this episode, the Farm4Profit Podcast gets real about the financial and organizational realities facing today’s farms. Jace Young, CEO of Legacy Farmer, joins the hosts to share how he helps farmers move from “organized chaos” to truly structured, profitable, and sustainable businesses.

He lays out the five most common pitfalls holding family farms back — micromanaging, centralized decision-making, lack of training, absence of core values, and neglecting personal well-being — and explains how each one quietly erodes profitability, family relationships, and long-term success.

Listeners will learn how Jace’s Legacy Farmer System simplifies farm finances, empowers next-generation leaders, and builds confidence in daily decision-making. From financial tracking to leadership development, Jace emphasizes that the most successful farms today are the ones mastering their numbers and their systems, not just their yields.

The conversation wraps with practical advice for any producer wanting to protect their legacy — and a few truths about why taking care of yourself might just be the best business decision you can make.

If you’ve ever felt buried by paperwork, overwhelmed by management decisions, or unsure how to prepare your farm for the next generation — this episode is your blueprint to start fixing it.

In this episode, the Farm4Profit Podcast dives into how the Peterson Farm Bros went from small-town Kansas to global agricultural ambassadors — one parody video at a time.

Greg shares the story behind launching their first viral video in 2012, the family’s passion for using humor and music to educate the public, and how they balance content creation with the demands of a 1,000-head cattle operation and 2,500 acres of crops. The brothers open up about their family’s multi-generational legacy, their faith, and how opening their farm to the public has built a bridge between rural life and urban audiences.

Listeners will also get a behind-the-scenes look at their creative process, their latest projects like subsurface drip irrigation, and how they keep their message authentic while touring the country speaking at major ag events like Ag PhD Field Day, Farm Technology Days, and FFA conventions.

This conversation is a mix of inspiration, laughter, and lessons on using creativity to advocate for agriculture — while still making it home in time for chores.

In this Farm4Profit episode, the crew sits down with Randy Marcks, Sukup Steel Buildings expert, to discuss the evolution of steel structures in modern agriculture and how smart planning leads to stronger, more efficient operations.

Steel buildings aren’t just about durability—they’re about design precision, longevity, and adaptability. Randy walks us through Sukup’s building innovations—from I-beam structural corners and Galvalume+ steel panels, to factory-welded clips and pre-punched components that make installation faster and more accurate.

But before the first bolt goes in, Randy emphasizes what farmers should consider:

Future use planning: Think beyond today—design for changing equipment or livestock needs.

Size and layout: Bigger isn’t always better; right-sized buildings drive efficiency and cost control.

Site prep and foundation: Proper grading, compaction, and soil testing save years of drainage headaches.

Budgeting beyond the kit: Include labor, electrical, insulation, and ventilation.

Building codes & permits: Stay compliant and avoid costly rework.

Listeners will learn why steel buildings outperform wood—handling higher wind loads, resisting termites and rot, and maintaining clear spans up to 200 feet for wide, open workspaces. Sukup’s IAS AC472 accreditation ensures every building meets the highest quality and safety standards.

Randy also digs into why roof and wall panel design matter more than most people realize: mechanically rolled standing seams with a 360° Pittsburgh double-lock prevent leaks, and movable clips let panels expand and contract with temperature swings—protecting your investment from the elements for decades.

Plan with purpose — A smart build starts with site prep, future needs, and full-cost budgeting.

Steel wins the long game — Stronger spans, higher durability, no rot, and recyclable value at teardown.

Details matter — Panel design, insulation, and airflow determine building lifespan and comfort.

Sukup quality = Iowa pride — Family-owned innovation, automation, and precision manufacturing deliver farm-tough reliability.
