Here are some quotes from Tim Cobb and Janell Cobb:

Tim Cobb:

  1. "I think the biggest thing that I've learned from John and Alan is the importance of relationships. It's not just about managing the land, it's about managing the relationships with the people who own the land, the people who farm the land, and the people who live in the communities where the land is located."
  2. "I think the biggest challenge is just the complexity of agriculture today. There are so many different factors that can affect a farm's success, from weather conditions to market prices to government regulations. It's a lot to keep track of, but it's also what makes the job interesting."
  3. "I think the future of farm management is going to be about finding ways to be more efficient and sustainable. We need to find ways to produce more food with less impact on the environment. That's going to require new technologies and new ways of thinking about farming."

Janell Cobb:

  1. "I think one of the things that sets Farmland Company apart is our commitment to the communities where we work. We're not just managing land, we're part of these communities, and we want to see them thrive."
  2. "I think the biggest challenge for me has been learning about all the different aspects of agriculture. It's a complex industry, and there's always something new to learn."
  3. "I'm really proud of what we've accomplished at Farmland Company. We've helped a lot of landowners and farmers, and I think we've made a positive impact on the communities where we work."
