What happens to your farm — and your family — when you’re gone? In this episode of the AGvisorPOD, Rob Saik sits down with Derryn Shrosbree of 33seven to tackle one of agriculture’s hardest but most important topics: continuity and estate planning. They discuss how rising land values and off-farm heirs complicate succession, why 88% of farm families don’t have a plan, and how to create a legacy that keeps everyone at the same table for Christmas dinner. Derryn also shares the “Farm Liquidity Solution,” his collaboration with HUB International, and insights on the upcoming Outstanding Young Farmers of Canada event — all part of helping the next generation of farmers thrive.

The nitrogen market is shifting — fast. Global volatility, rising fertilizer prices, and supply chain uncertainty have left Western Canadian farmers paying some of the highest input costs in the world. In this episode, Rob Saik sits down with Derek Penner, CEO of Genesis Fertilizers, to unpack how a multi-billion-dollar, farmer-owned fertilizer plant could change the game.

They discuss:
- Why fertilizer prices have skyrocketed — and may stay high
- How farmers can gain equity and control in fertilizer production
- The economics, governance, and long-term vision behind Genesis Fertilizers
- What government and strategic support could mean for the project’s future

If you’re a farmer thinking about your long-term input costs — or how to invest directly in agriculture’s future — this is a must-listen.
