Debt Financing and Equity Financing; A comprehensive Overview. Considering the two main types of financing available for companies: debt financing and equity financing. Debt financing is a loan that must be paid back often with interest, but it is typically cheaper than raising capital because of tax deduction considerations. Equity Financing does not need to be paid back, but it relinquishes ownership stakes to the shareholder. Both debt and equity have their advantages and disadvantages...

In the past few years, we have made a concerted effort to increase the usage of cover crops and other conservation practices on our farm. I have learned a lot of lessons from this experience but one stands out above the rest. Being a good steward of the environment and aiming to produce high yields don’t have to be mutually exclusive... ● Getting good seed-to-soil contact can be a challenge when planting into thick cover, but the cover crop’s root fibers can help prevent soil crusting so don’t be afraid to plant slightly deeper than normal...

In late 2018, a new farm bill was passed that legalized the production of hemp as an agricultural commodity while also removing it from the list of “controlled substances”... So why am I skeptical? I think the major challenges regarding hemp production can be lumped into two main categories: 1) Growing it and 2) Actually profiting from it... Many farmers remember stories from the past of how fast a pest or disease can devastate a crop in the absence of proper chemistries or control methods to use... However, organic production provides its own challenges for any crop... This is another major challenge that I see standing in the way of hemp becoming the panacea that many have made it out to be...

Have the challenges of farming truly changed much over the decades or have our expectations changed? Has the affluence of our nation since WWII impacted our perception of agriculture when compared to 70 years ago? Do we need/want more now to feel that we are successful? As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, I am sincerely interested in your thoughts on these questions. Thank you and please write as long a response as you deem necessary.
