Welcome
Butting Heads only creates Headaches! Too often, when multiple partners are involved in any farming operation, miscommunication and egos affects the farm’s bottom line more than the influence of weather and markets altogether!

We never tell farmers what to do but focus on improving the processes of how farmers make and implement decisions. We mediate regular family business meetings, acting as both a referee and coach, to improve the way in which farm families make business decisions.

We provide other management consulting services that relate to our core objective of getting farm families to sit down 4-12 times per year and for one “power hour” session to make effective strategic decisions together. We provide follow-up services to help the farm succeed in implementing these decisions into reality.

Our business system is founded on Toyota’s management philosophy (Plan, Do, Check, Analyze and Improve) which instills a cycle of continuous improvement into the farm operation. By focusing on improving the way farm families make decisions, we drastically improve farm profit and the rate of strategic growth. As another positive side effect, the culture of how everyone “gets along” dramatically improves!
