Welcome to Episode 59 of A Place to Call Home!

This week, we’re joined by Sam Skeat, founder of Regen Ag Asset Management (RAAM)—a business that helps rural producers turn knowledge into action and build more resilient, efficient operations.

Sam’s journey has taken him from running tree-lopping crews and working with NRM groups, to coaching producers through rehydrating landscapes and shifting the way they run their businesses. His work now focuses on helping people identify blind spots, implement systems, and focus on return on effort—not just tradition or busyness.

In this episode, we discuss:
🧠 The mindset shift that can change your business
📊 Why collecting data is easy—but using it is where the real impact lies
📈 How to build systems that reduce decision fatigue and create results
🛠️ Rehydrating landscapes and managing country through better planning
💬 Why ag businesses must pay the people running them
💡 Focusing on Return on Effort instead of just being busy

Whether you're starting out, rebuilding, or wanting to do things differently—this episode is full of insights for those ready to step up and lead their ag business with clarity and confidence.
