My business partner and I have been running our sustainable farm operation for six years and we've reached the point where every decision about expansion, equipment purchases, or crop rotation becomes a weeks-long argument because we can't agree on whether to prioritize immediate profitability or long-term soil health. We've stopped making decisions altogether and I can see our operation stagnating while our neighbors adapt to changing markets.
More people experience this than they realize.
You and your partner can't agree on quick profit versus the land's future, so you've stopped deciding anything at all.
