In this episode of AgCredit Said It, host Kendra Heffelfinger, Director of Sales and Marketing, sits down with Neil Schuller, Head of Grower Solutions with the Andersons, for a wide-ranging discussion on current agricultural market conditions, input costs, and marketing strategies for producers.

In this episode of AgCredit Said It, host Phil Young sits down with returning guest Bruce Clevenger, associate professor and field specialist with Ohio State Extension, to dig into one of the most overlooked profit drivers on the farm: record keeping.
Bruce explains why the best numbers for planning your farm's future are your own, and how to use both "windshield" (forward-looking budgets) and "rearview mirror" (historical performance) views to make better decisions in an uncertain ag economy. They walk through practical options for record systems—from paper ledgers and spreadsheets to full-featured software that integrates production and financial data—and why the "right" system is the one you'll actually use accurately.
