Jim discusses best practices in leases, seller financing, buy/sell agreements, and entity formation, along with how farmers can use LLCs or family partnerships to protect land for future generations.This conversation also highlights the importance of having the right team of legal and financial advisors — including partners like Boa Safra — so farmers can grow smarter, reduce risk, and preserve their legacy.We wrap up with fun questions like Jim’s favorite piece of land he’s ever seen, what law he’d change for producers, and the career he’d pursue if he weren’t an attorney.A practical, eye-opening episode for anyone owning, renting, purchasing, or planning for the future of farmland.

• From Shop Houses to Farm Shops: No One Ever Built Too Big!

  In this Farm4Profit episode, the crew sits down with Randy Marcks, Sukup Steel Buildings expert, to discuss the evolution of steel structures in modern agriculture and how smart planning leads to stronger, more efficient operations.Steel buildings aren’t just about durability—they’re about design precision, longevity, and adaptability. Randy walks us through Sukup’s building innovations—from I-beam structural corners and Galvalume+ steel panels, to factory-welded clips and pre-punched components that make installation faster and more accurate.But before the first bolt goes in, Randy emphasizes what farmers should consider:Future use planning: Think beyond today—design for changing equipment or livestock needs.Size and layout: Bigger isn’t always better; right-sized buildings drive efficiency and cost control.Site prep and foundation: Proper grading, compaction, and soil testing save years of drainage headaches.Budgeting beyond the kit: Include labor, electrical, insulation, and ventilation.Building codes & permits: Stay compliant and avoid costly rework.Listeners will learn why steel buildings outperform wood—handling higher wind loads, resisting termites and rot, and maintaining clear spans up to 200 feet for wide, open workspaces. Sukup’s IAS AC472 accreditation ensures every building meets the highest quality and safety standards.Randy also digs into why roof and wall panel design matter more than most people realize: mechanically rolled standing seams with a 360° Pittsburgh double-lock prevent leaks, and movable clips let panels expand and contract with temperature swings—protecting your investment from the elements for decades.🧠 Key TakeawaysPlan with purpose — A smart build starts with site prep, future needs, and full-cost budgeting.Steel wins the long game — Stronger spans, higher durability, no rot, and recyclable value at teardown.Details matter — Panel design, insulation, and airflow determine building lifespan and comfort.Sukup quality = Iowa pride — Family-owned innovation, automation, and precision manufacturing deliver farm-tough reliability.
