  Aug 12, 202612 min

  Rural grocery stores often run on margins as thin as a penny on the dollar, and one wrong decision can put a store under. In this episode, Charlotte Narjes of the Nebraska Cooperative Development Center and Ansley Fellers of the Nebraska Grocery Industry Association discuss the pressures facing small-town grocers, from competition and ownership transitions to credit card fees and changes to SNAP and WIC. They also preview the 2026 Grocery Industry Summit in Kearney and explain how cooperative ownership models have helped some Nebraska communities bring back a store after it closed.

  Mitigating Risk on the Farm and Ranch with Brad Lubben

  Aug 7, 202614 min

  Brad Lubben, Nebraska Extension policy specialist and director of the North Central Extension Risk Management Education Center, joins the podcast to break down the risks producers are managing in a divided ag economy. Crop producers are working through tight margins and leaning on government payments, while cattle producers are enjoying record prices that come with a catch: higher costs to buy replacements and rebuild the herd. Lubben walks through the five areas of risk, production, marketing, financial, legal and human, and explains why the human side, from labor to succession planning, often gets put off the longest. The conversation also covers what producers considering diversification or direct marketing should watch for, and how the Extension Risk Management Education program connects producers with risk management education and resources in their area.

  Building a Farm Succession Plan #5: The Four Legal Documents

  Jul 27, 202615 min

  An estate plan tells the government what you want done at your death, but it does not teach anyone how to run a farm, and that gap is where many families get stuck. In this episode of the five-part Nebraska FARMcast series on building a farm succession plan, Jessica Groskopf, Extension agricultural economist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, breaks down the four documents at the heart of an estate plan: a will, a power of attorney, a health care power of attorney and a living will. She explains probate, how a trust can help you avoid it, and why beneficiary designations and property titling deserve a careful review.

  Building a Farm Succession Plan #4: Sunset Planning

  Jul 24, 202614 min

  Most farmers and ranchers never plan to fully retire, which is why Jessica Groskopf calls this stage sunset planning rather than retirement. In the final episode of the five-part Nebraska FARMcast series on building a farm succession plan, Groskopf, Extension agricultural economist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, looks at what it takes to shift from owner-operator to owner. She covers the financial questions to work through with an ag-savvy financial adviser, why long-term care is one of the biggest concerns families face, and how renting out land in retirement can affect Social Security benefits.
