Ep. 91 Cracking the Code on Seed Cost of Production With Julia Shanks
From The Seed Farmer Podcast · 24:20
Show by Dan Brisebois
Julia Shanks is back on the pod because we're seven days from the official release of our new book The Profitable Farmer: Strategic Business Planning for Profit, Purpose, and Quality of Life. This time Julia and I turn the profitability and cost of production discussion to seed farming. We talk about what is the same and what is different when you compare the numbers for growing vegetables vs cut flowers vs seed crops. We get into how transition time can drastically affect your labour costs. Then we explore the factors that make a difference when you're packing retail seed packets and whether Brassica seed or squash seed is more profitable. There's also a bit about storytelling and how that can change how you set your prices. Enjoy the conversation!
