About this episode

Vance Crowe interviews Chris Barron about improving communication and leadership in agricultural businesses.

This week Vance sat down with Chris Barron who has spent decades helping agricultural businesses become stronger. As founder of AgView Solutions, Chris works with farming families and business owners across North America to improve communication, succession planning, leadership, and long-term profitability. Unlike many consultants, he's still actively farming himself - giving him firsthand experience with the challenges his clients face. In this conversation, Chris explains why the biggest problems in business often aren't financial—they're human. He and Vance explore how better communication can transform family businesses, why mentorship matters more than management, how successful farm transitions happen and why vulnerability and trust are essential ingredients for lasting success. One can contact Chris and find out more about the work he does at: https://www.agviewsolutions.com/ When not podcasting, Vance is invited to give talks on tangible communication skills. He teaches how to connect with employees, colleagues and family so that you can negotiate, have better relationships and achieve your higher goals. https://articulate.ventures/lbc https://www.legacyinterviews.com/…
