The Truth About Budgeting, Banks, and Big Decisions with Todd Andries

In this episode of The Truth About Ag, we’re joined by Todd Andries, newly minted Chief Operating Officer of Maverick Ag and a long-time leader in ag finance. With more than 25 years in the financial industry and roots in his family’s 2,600-acre farm, Todd brings a blend of boardroom insight and boots-on-the-ground understanding.

We talk about what’s really happening in the farm equipment market, the role of personal tax and budgeting in strategic planning, and how fear and stress show up when you’re making big decisions. We share lessons from Strategic Coach, what it’s been like joining the Maverick and HGV teams, and how to navigate tough conversations with banks when the numbers don’t tell the full story.

It’s a candid look at the mindset behind sustainable growth, one that’s honest about the risks, the pressure, and the personal side of business.

Listen in for a wide-ranging conversation that blends finance, leadership, and a little Stanley Cup talk, too.
