DEAN’S TAKEAWAYS: 1. Spend time on the problem—defi ning it and working to solve it. It’s easy to get caught up and describe the symptoms of the problem rather than the problem itself. Dig in and ask the follow-up questions. Find out what the real problem is that you’re dealing with. 2. The data itself isn’t enough. You have to bring in common sense and address the problem at hand. Don’t get stranded in the snow by following your GPS into a blizzard and not being able to use common sense to fi nd your way out.

We always welcome your feedback at Modern Farm Business Podcast. Do you have suggestions for future episodes, or questions on something we’ve already covered? Drop Dean a line at dean@modernfarmbusiness.com. He’ll look at each email personally and respond as quickly as possible.

Thanks for listening! See you next week!
