Land, Livestock, & Life

A Grazier's Guide to Finance

De: Allan Nation

Narrado por: Brad Grochowski

Do you know the new rules for profit in today's land and livestock game?

Ranching is presented as an incredibly complex "whole" made up of a lot of separate businesses that you must be good at to make a profit: the land, the livestock, and the lifestyle.

Using successful grass farmers as examples, Allan explains how leasing land can add up to profits with lower risk than ownership, and can be a means for young people to get into grassland agriculture today.

He emphasizes, "First start a business. Then you can choose to invest your after-tax surplus in deeded farm and ranch real estate."

"The key point is to remember that lifestyle is a result of having gotten the (land and livestock) elements right."

For more insight and analysis into land-based financial issues such as protecting yourself from falling real estate prices without selling your ranch, order Land, Livestock, & Life: A Grazier's Guide to Finance.

Good information and insights

This is a good high level review of practices, techniques and ideas for regenerative agriculture.
However, the narration needs to be redone or at least edited.
It's somewhat unbelievable that the narrator didn't know how to pronounce Joel Salatin. A first I thought it was an one off but not once was it pronounced correctly.
Please update the narration out of respect for Joel, his family and his friend Allan Nation.

Well rounded knowledge of Ranching and Business Management.

The topics covered included real people and their experiences with examples of failures and how they turned them around to new enterprises.

A great book for rural entrepreneurs

Loved the content. Narrator needs to pronounce names correctly. Throughout the book the narrator makes mistakes. I've met these people in real life. The emPHASis is on the wrong sylLABle

Very informative information

This is an excellent audio book and is informative about of a life of Alan personal experiences.

Was not boring

Very informative. If you are looking to start or have been ranching for years everyone can get a lot out of this
