The Future Of Ag feat. Shaun Haney (RealAgriculture)

A lot of people talk about “the future of agriculture” like it’s a single trend you can predict. What we’re seeing on the ground is messier and more human: tighter margins, commodity uncertainty, louder (and more) information channels, and farmers trying to make smart decisions while fuel, fertilizer, and geo-politics shift under their feet.

We’re joined by Shaun Haney, founder and host of RealAgriculture and Real Ag Radio, to unpack what’s changing in Canadian agriculture and what stays stubbornly the same. We get into farm profitability and risk in 2026, why producer sentiment should feel more positive in Canada than in the US, and how regional conditions can shape everything from land demand to balance sheet stress. We also talk about farmland values, whether dramatic price-drop predictions make sense, and why outside investment in farmland is a topic where we need to be careful what we wish for.

Then we go deeper into the people side of the business: young farmers, succession, and the financial blind spot that happens when the next generation is handed agronomy decisions but not exposed to the financial side of the business. We challenge the way farming measures success, question whether “more acres” is the right KPI, and explore how autonomy, robotics, and other farm technology could change what the ideal farm size looks like.

The big takeaway Shaun leaves with is simple: stay curious, stay open-minded, and keep learning, because that mindset can separate farms that survive from farms that stall.
