What Farmers Should Expect from Agricultural Consultants

How do you know whether an agricultural consultant is putting your farm’s interests first? In this episode of North American Ag Spotlight, Chrissy Wozniak talks with American Society of Agricultural Consultants President Abby Byerly and Interim Executive Director Russell Morgan about trusted advice, professional ethics, and the value of bringing different specialties together. Abby, a third-generation Montana farmer and rancher and Food and Ag Center Director at Snowy Mountain Development Corporation, explains how ASAC’s network helps her connect clients with the expertise they need. Russ shares how collaboration supported financial projections for an egg-production project and explains the continuing education behind the Certified Agricultural Consultant designation. The conversation also explores confidentiality, conflicts of interest, farm succession, and why a successful outcome must account for the family as well as the business. Abby and Russ preview ASAC’s November 1–3, 2026, annual conference in San Antonio, including its ethics session, educational program, tours, and networking opportunities.
