Redefining Success In Farming With Aussie Farmer + Author Jack Owen

"Farming is just an exercise where you add water," Owen says.

Victorian Sheep Farmer and Author Jack Owen delves into the essence of success in farming, drawing insights from his book 'You Are Not Your Farm: What the Top 5% of Farmers Are Doing That the Average Farmer Is Not'.

Owen emphasises viewing farms as businesses rather than mere family legacies, urging farmers to set personal goals beyond their fields. 

He advocates for strategic decision-making to enhance profitability and happiness, like planning family vacations.

Owen also touches on vulnerability and gratitude as crucial elements in farming success, revealing that detaching personal worth from farm outcomes leads to fulfilment.
