Lyle Benjamin farmed for 17 years with his business partner wife in Montana's Golden Triangle region. He's from there. He returned there after stints away from the farm so he could be a farmer. This winter — on the heels of several bad years — he made the decision to quit farming. Lyle joins me to discuss the difficult decision when the emotional and tradition-laden side of the family farming operation meets the business realities of production Agriculture. Lyle has no regrets. He made a business decision to preserve capital and provide for his family. Lyle offers plenty of lessons and support for farmers — or any business owner for that matter — staring down the difficult decision of closing one's business. Please share this episode with someone you know who is struggling with or stressing over a big decision. Sponsored by Harvest Profit HarvestProfit.com
