Crabs

Welcome to the EZ Ag Podcast, where innovative farming meets practical solutions. Thanks again for joining us. Remember to like and subscribe to our podcast, as well as follow us on our social media channels on X and Facebook. Now let’s dig in.

Picture this, you’re on a fishing dock, watching the fishermen haul in buckets full of crabs. One crab tries to climb out, determined to escape, but just as it reaches the edge, the other crabs pull it back down. No crab escapes because the others won’t let them. They keep each other trapped. This is how it works in life and in farming. If you surround yourself with the wrong people, the ones who don’t challenge you, don’t innovate, or don’t push you forward, you’ll stay stuck in the same place. But when you surround yourself with the right people, the ones who elevate your thinking, help you grow, and push you toward success, then you rise above the bucket, you break free and reach your full potential. Jim Rohn once said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” This idea applies to farming just as much as it does to life. If you surround yourself with the right five people, or in this case, the right five companies, you set yourself up for greater success.That’s why Axis Seed-Red Barn has surrounded itself with top companies in agriculture and created the MAX Yield System, the ultimate system for helping you increase yield, grow your farm, and leave a legacy. 

Let’s talk about these five companies and how the MAX Yield System eliminates the crabs, elevates your operation, and helps you break free from the bucket once and for all. The power of the five you surround yourself with determines your success. If you’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with, think about who you choose to surround yourself with in farming. Are they helping you grow? Are they pushing you forward? Or are they holding you back? At Axis Seed-Red Barn, we’ve carefully selected five of the most innovative agriculture companies to surround ourselves with, and through the MAX Yield System, we help you utilize their products and innovations to increase yield, grow your farm, and leave a legacy. These five companies aren’t just suppliers, they’re partners in your success. The five companies represent the top tier of agricultural innovation, and we’ve brought them together in the MAX Yield System to provide you with the best tools for your success. The MAX Yield System breaks you free from the bucket. 

So what exactly is the MAX Yield System? It’s more than just a collection of products. It’s a complete farming strategy designed to help you break free from outdated practices, inefficient inputs, and limiting mindsets.The crabs in farming come in many forms. Maybe it’s relying on the same genetics that aren’t performing anymore. Maybe choosing inputs that aren’t giving you a return on your investment. Maybe it’s surrounding yourself with people who say “that’s the way we’ve always done it” instead of asking “how can we do this better?” 

The MAX Yield System eliminates these crabs by focusing on three core goals. First, maximizing yield potential. By integrating custom seed solutions, biologicals, polymer based technologies, high efficiency crop protection, and optimized nitrogen use, the MAX Yield System unlocks higher production without increasing input cost. Next, grow your farm. Farming isn’t just about this season, it’s about building a foundation for long term growth.The MAX Yield System gives you the tools, insights, and resources to make data driven decisions that drive yield. And finally leave a legacy. The most successful farms aren’t just focused on yield, they’re focused on building something that lasts. The MAX Yield System helps farmers increase yield, sustainability, and utilize efficient solutions that protect their land, improve their profitability, and create a lasting legacy for generations to come.

So here’s the big question: who are your 5? Are you surrounding yourself with the right people, the right technology, and the right strategies to maximize your success? Or are you letting the crabs pull you back into the bucket? At Axis Seed-Red Barn, we filled our bucket with five companies, Axis Seed, BW Fusion, Ligos, Meristem, and Pivot Bio, to help you elevate your farm success. Because we know that success in farming depends on who you choose to work with. When you surround yourself with the right five people, your farm will reflect that success. The MAX Yield System is more than just a system, it’s a mindset, a commitment to smarter farming, and a path to greater profitability. It’s about breaking free from inefficiency, outdated practices, and limiting beliefs, and choosing to elevate your farm to its full potential. So don’t let the crabs hold you back. Take control, surround yourself with the best, and let Axis Seed-Red Barn help you break free and achieve your farming goals. 

Until next time, I’m Matt Long. Grow your yield. Grow your legacy. Grow strong with Axis Seed.
