Hey everybody, it's Lee Luber at Extreme Ag in Greggy, South Dakota. And there's three things we like
00:05
to do every year in December. Number one that I'll be doing next week is I go over and I sit down at our accountant's office
00:13
and, uh, our lender's right there with me. Uh, we started doing that several years ago. That has been awesome.
00:20
The synergies that happen, uh, between your tax planner and your lender, we've gotta remember as, uh, producers, it's not adversarial.
00:27
They're part of your team. That meeting always goes great. And then we go across town.
00:33
Then we sit there, uh, with the guy that we work with on marketing ideas, planning out all of 2024, catching up on 23.
00:40
Making a big battle plan really works well for account lender marketing and myself all in the same room with a lot
00:48
of information firing back and forth. A lot of brainstorming. It's huge. I know a lot of farmers dread that.
00:54
Uh, I look forward to it every year. Number two, what I like to do in December is finalize all of our chemical programs
01:02
and review everything with our retailers that we work with. Make sure we're maximizing what we do value wise
01:09
and performance wise so we don't have surprises on supply. So we have everything in place months
01:15
ahead before we go to the field. Number three, spend time with my kids. Dad's been in the field a lot this year, so, uh,
01:23
I like spending time with my girls. Uh, we like to go on little mini trips, uh, do things to get away.
01:29
Just spend time together. Go uptown to the coffee shop, grab a hot cocoa, whatever it may be. Enjoy the time with family.
01:36
Those are the top three things that I like to do every December to make the next year just be awesome. I'm Lee Luber, extreme Ag. Let's do it.
