From pigs and chickens in Ontario to diverse farming operations across the country, Amy shares how the Outstanding Young Farmers community fosters innovation, resilience, and a safe space for farmers to learn, connect, and grow.

We dive into the upcoming National Conference in Toronto (Nov 26–30), the power of peer-to-peer support, and why nominating farmers matters more than ever. Whether you’re in the field, in the barn, or on the road, this conversation will inspire you to celebrate the passion and leadership driving Canadian agriculture forward.

In this episode of the AGvisorPOD, host Rob Saik continues the conversation with Dave Nussbaumer, Managing Partner at Lakeview Insurance, digging into one of the most overlooked but critical topics in agriculture: liability risk on the farm.

From train crossings to custom spraying, ATVs to half-ton trucks, Dave shares real-world examples of how quickly an accident can escalate into a financial nightmare if coverage isn’t properly in place. With farms growing in value and operations becoming more complex, today’s liability exposures are bigger than ever.

You’ll hear practical advice on:
• How to assess your farm’s liability risk
• Why proper coverage limits matter (hint: $200,000 won’t cut it)
• The hidden risks of custom work and “helping the neighbor”
• Smart steps to protect your people, equipment, and future

Whether you’re running a multi-million-dollar operation or a family farm, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants peace of mind knowing their farm is protected.

In this episode of the AGvisorPRO Podcast, Rob Saik sits down with Jason McNamee, Founder, COO, and biogeoscientist at Lucent Biosciences, to explore a revolution in fertilizer technology. Despite decades of minimal innovation, modern fertilizers often only deliver 30–50% of nutrients effectively. Jason shares how Lucent’s Soileos—granular fertilizers bound with oat hulls—change the game by delivering nutrients exactly when crops need them, improving uptake efficiency, and supporting soil microbiomes.

From copper and zinc products to carbon sequestration benefits, Jason walks us through over 300 field trials proving the effectiveness of these next-generation fertilizers. He also explains the science behind bio-driven nutrient release, and how Soileos gives farmers a more reliable ROI while improving soil health.

Whether you’re an agronomist, retailer, or farmer, this episode shows how innovation can make fertilizers more efficient, environmentally friendly, and aligned with modern crop genetics.
