Farmers Capital Conversations

Farmers Capital Conversations

Hello and welcome to Farmer’s Capital Conversations with Casey Silveria (that’s me). I’m on a mission to bring you insightful conversations. Our goal is to help you grow your social and intellectual capital. Investing on and off the farm can be a real challenge, and we get that. That’s why we are here to share practical stories and valuable resources to make it a bit easier. We believe in transparency every step of the way. No fluff here, just genuine connections without ads. If you find value in what we share, don’t be shy – please give us a review and share with the one person who comes to mind. Yes, this helps us out, but more importantly, it could add value to someone else.
