I spoke at an agricultural conference on Friday in East Lansing. Michigan State University hosted a "Growing Your Business" conference for farmers. At the end of the presentation, during the question and answer period, I asked, "What keeps you up at night?" The first answer: The Weather! Unlike alot of our products, farmers products are affected by the weather. I always talk about realizing in business what you can control and what you can’t control..and yes, the weather is one of them.
