Question. As a contractor, what qualifies you to be a competent and skilled people manager?
Many of us are accidental managers, and we get the outcomes you would expect from someone who doesn’t really understand what they are trying to achieve
Very true. Sugar is added to pretty much every processed food or in larger amounts than it used to be. An interesting book on the topic is “salt sugar fat”. It’s focused on the American food processing industry but it applies anywhere really. Details how formulations are fine tuned to deliver...
I couldn’t say how to improve childhood and young adult obesity. It’s a large issue. Diet and lifestyle are obviously the two biggest factors but not easy to change in a person, habits already set.
I do actively discriminate against overweight job applicants. Not that they won’t be hired...

I have saved myself a lot of disappointment by assuming that everyone at a machinery dealership is incompetent until proven otherwise.
Common phrases in machinery listings that mean nothing: Field ready, In good order, Been through the shop, Inspected, Needs nothing, One owner, Clean, Ready...

It also doesn’t appear to be a 1:1 replacement between a unit of purchased and from manure. Crops just do...
I suppose it doesn’t really matter what the ingredient or product is, as long as you can quantify the return you get on purchasing it. Then you can know whether it’s worth it or not.
The easiest dollar you will ever make is the one you don’t spend. Agriculture is full of input purchases with...
