Eric Bergeron is co-founder of Smart Greens, a Canadian food production company that is expanding into a network of farmers across the country. (Read his tip here: zipgrow.com/farmer-tip-good-farmers-are-willing-to-learn-all-day-every-day/)
Eric has helped several farmers get up and running through equipment and training, and he has noticed that all good farmers have a similar philosophy about learning: they learn through training, then they learn through doing.
Good entrepreneurs are willing to put in the hard work to learn their business. This hard work typically has two sides:
1) Learning through preparation, research, training, etc.
For farmers, this means taking farm classes, tours & training, getting farmer tips, conversations with mentors, and research.
2) Learning through experience, adaptation, and the school of life.
For farmers, this means running test systems and responding to the real life struggle of running a farm.
Eric trains farmers individually to get them ready for this moment before they take the reins and start responding to the farm on their own.
When a new grower embarks on their journey, however, they've got an inevitable learning curve to scale. How they prepare for that challenge and how they approach it often marks the difference between a defeat and a comeback.
