What actually makes a farm perform? In this episode of Farming: The Long View, we sit down with Richard Price — a highly experienced farm manager who has worked across a wide range of farming systems, from mixed farms to large-scale fresh produce operations. Through years of hands-on experience, Richard has seen what works — and what doesn’t. In this conversation, we explore: What separates top-performing farms from the rest Why getting the basics right still matters most The role of people, culture and communication How better decision-making improves farm performance Why every farm needs its own approach The importance of long-term thinking in farming This isn’t about theory. It’s about the reality of running a farm day to day — and the decisions that shape its future. Because in farming, the choices made today often echo for years.
